1
Like I'm finally, I'm like quasi-famous now.
2
Nothing's really changed.
3
I might get a free appetizer at Select P.F.
4
Chang's.
5
That's about it.
6
Nothing's really changed.
7
I was still using Tinder up until like a year ago.
8
This is a true story.
9
But now I realize I got a whole new set of issues on Tinder.
10
Like now when I do match with a girl, she doesn't believe that it's me.
11
Like, ew, that's not you.
12
That's not, you're not that guy from this thing and that thing.
13
I'm like, who the fuck is using me as a fake profile?
14
You gotta dig real deep to use me, man.
15
I feel like there's so many better choices out there.
16
One time, my agent told me that I had a good look.
17
And I'm like, thanks, dude, I appreciate that.
18
But then it took me years to realize that having a good look is totally different than being good looking.
19
I still don't know what the fuck it means.
20
And look, I'm not being self-deprecating, okay?
21
That's Hollywood talk.
22
I don't listen to that shit.
23
I understand that in real life, I'm like super good looking. If you're into anime.
24
You gotta get in when you fit in, people.
25
One time I went over to the girl's house, she has this Naruto anime poster in her bedroom.
26
I knew I was fucking that night.
27
You gotta know your demo people.
28
Asian people, we don't need Tinder anymore we just go to bts concerts so i would do that parking lot pimping
29
i've been dating a lot of tall girls lately because it makes me look successful
30
no no i i think tall women are beautiful but some of them like to wear heels that's just disrespect
31
like you're already five inches taller than me why the the fuck you wearing heels
32
and she's like it makes my ass look better I'm like
33
your ass is on my eye level right now neither of us look good okay I look like a child
34
and you look like a child molester last time last time
35
I took a tall girl to this concert I don't know
36
if you guys know this
37
but apparently tall people have fun at concerts are you guys aware of
38
that I'm 5'5 I just go to at concerts to smell other people's armpits.
39
Like what the fuck's the point of this?
40
She was having a time in her life doing whatever tall people do at concerts, you know?
41
Jumping around, obstructing other people's views, seeing everything.
42
I was frustrated.
43
I had enough.
44
So I just looked up at her, I was like, hey!
45
Pick me up.
46
Thank you.
47
I love her very much, man.
48
She's an amazing person.
49
She's very successful.
50
My girlfriend's a venture capitalist.
51
Yeah, fucking jackpot, right?
52
You know?
53
It's great, it's great.
54
For you guys that don't know what a venture capital means, it means that I'm the poorest person she knows.
55
And what that really means is I'm her sugar baby.
56
So it's great.
57
That's right, that's right.
58
Gender equality, that's what I'm talking about.
59
It's time for men to get taken care of, that's right.
60
See that brother high-fiving his girl?
61
I appreciate you, man.
62
Fellow sugar baby.
63
Come on.
64
That's right.
65
That's right.
66
I love her, man.
67
I'm trying to be a better boyfriend.
68
I'm new to this boyfriend stuff, right?
69
I used to take everything so personally.
70
Like, every time we get into a fight, I'm like, hey, why are you mad at me?
71
I'm the perfect boyfriend.
72
Wrong answer.
73
Fellas, fellas, if your girl's mad at you, you can't take that shit personally because it's not even about you.
74
She doesn't even know what she's mad about.
75
You just happen to be there, you know what I mean?
76
You're a victim of circumstance, man.
77
So it's not your job to engage in an argument, it's your job to defuse the situation.
78
You gotta jujitsu that shit until you get to the bottom of the real prom.
79
Like the other way, she was mad at me about something.
80
She was like, babe, I feel like we don't even like go on date nights anymore.
81
I'm like, okay.
82
I hear you.
83
I hear you, but what's really going on?
84
And she was like, well, sometimes I feel like you like hanging out with your buddies more than you like hanging out with me.
85
And I'm like, okay, I hear you, but what's really going on?
86
And then she takes a deep breath.
87
And she was like...
88
Remember last week of my birthday?
89
Heather brought a cousin and she didn't even know my name.
90
I was like, see, that's your problem right there.
91
She ain't got nothing to do with me.
92
Heather's cousin's a bitch, you know?
93
Fuck her, man.
94
Let's focus my energy on her.
95
I'm trying to be a better communicator, man.
96
My girl always wants me to talk about my feelings.
97
She's like, babe, I wish you'd talk about your feelings more.
98
I'm like, I feel fine.
99
What more do you want me to say?
100
I don't know.
101
I'm not that emotionally involved.
102
I don't know what else.
103
I'm fine.
104
But don't keep asking me that, because the fifth time you ask me that, I might not be fine.
105
The fifth time you ask me that, it's just some dark shit that's gonna come out.
106
It's like, babe, how are you feeling?
107
I don't know, I'm angry all the time.
108
Because my dad yelled at me after ping pong practice.
109
See, guys and girls were just different, man.
110
Girls are so emotionally evolved.
111
You know, we even hang out different.
112
One night I came home early, my girl was having a girls' night at the house.
113
I've never seen anything like that.
114
The TV was off.
115
Seven girls sitting in a circle, making direct eye contact with each other.
116
Every candle in the house was lit.
117
And I walked by, I'm like, what is this witchcraft?
118
And I just backed into my own room.
119
Fellas, we hang out different.
120
Guys, when we hang out, we sit in a straight line.
121
TV on full blast.
122
Zero eye contact with each other.
123
My girl came home early.
124
She was so confused.
125
She was like, babe, you guys didn't talk for like six hours.
126
I'm like, yeah, isn't that fucking awesome?
127
That's us.
128
That's guys.
129
But in a relationship, it's important to speak the same language.
130
My girl asked me, she was like, babe, what's your love language?
131
I'm like, what?
132
She's like, you know, your love language, like how do you convey love to your partners and loved ones?
133
Like, for example, a love language could be words of affirmation.
134
I'm like, words of affirmation?
135
I was raised by Asian parents.
136
I've never heard one word of affirmation in my life.
137
Nobody ever told me, Jimmy, you're so great, you can do it.
138
They're like, don't fuck it up.
139
Their love language is verbal abuse.
140
I'm trying to figure out my love languages.
141
Physical touch, right?
142
It's another love language.
143
Nobody touched me until I was 22.
144
I'm not familiar with that.
145
What are some other love languages?
146
Act of service.
147
I like every woman just screaming out at their partner, act of service, gift giving.
148
I think gift giving is a good one, okay?
149
I love giving gifts to my girl.
150
She loves giving gifts to me.
151
We love that, right?
152
Like, for example, I love buying my girl shoes.
153
She loves shoes, and we wear the same shoe size.
154
It's a perfect gift for the whole family.
155
You know what I mean?
156
These are her shoes tonight, you know?
157
It's me perfect.
158
That's right.
159
And in return, I let her wear all of my Jordans.
160
Yeah, guys, you guys know that's love.
161
Because Jordans to guys, that's our most prized possession.
162
If we let you slip into our Jordans, that's like you letting us slip into you.
163
You know?
164
Same thing.
165
But sometimes, sometimes I get a little nervous because her feet's a little dirty.
166
Okay?
167
And she's a white girl, so her feet extra dirty dirty like you know what I
168
mean like I don't know why people I don't know what
169
the fuck you guys do your feet all day you guys
170
just barefoot all time frolicking around like Jenny from Forrest Gump you know
171
white people you guys got some strong ass feet man just 120 degrees outside hot Not cement, just like pssst.
172
Y'all got some hunter-gatherer feet.
173
See, every culture, we got different feet etiquette, all right?
174
White people want to get in touch with Mother Earth.
175
That's great.
176
Black people, on the other hand, I lived with a black roommate for six years.
177
Never saw his toes once.
178
He came out the shower with socks on, man.
179
I'm like, what the?
180
You got a sock drawer in there, brother?
181
Asian people, you guys know the rule.
182
When you come into the house, you take your shoes off, right?
183
You're like, we all know that.
184
Yeah, yeah.
185
But our feet actually never touch the floor.
186
Because when you take your shoes off at the house, we got two pair of house shoes ready for you.
187
And then when you walk outside, we got two pair of Crocs ready for you.
188
And then when you come back in the bedroom, we got two other pair of slippers that we stole from a hotel in Vegas.
189
We're ready.
190
Our feet never touch the floor.
191
We got baby soft feet.
192
I think Asian people, our most natural love language is acts of service.
193
Right?
194
That's what our parents did to us.
195
They might never say, I love you, but they did a lot of nice things for us.
196
Every night, I don't care how busy my parents were, they'll come home and make a five course meal.
197
That's love right there, right?
198
Yeah, give it up for them.
199
Yeah, give it up.
200
Let's try it.
201
In our culture, food is love.
202
I love cooking for my girl.
203
We love cooking together.
204
Food is love.
205
That's why I hate watching all these reality cooking shows, where they make food so freaking stressful.
206
Like all these guys with aggressive tattoos, and they're just sweating it in the kitchen.
207
They're like, yes, chef!
208
Yes, chef!
209
Two minutes!
210
Two minutes!
211
It's still raw!
212
It's still raw!
213
And they're just making fucking scallops.
214
There's two items on the menu, and they can't handle that shit.
215
You go to any Chinese restaurant, there's about 485 items on the menu.
216
And there's one dude back there in the kitchen.
217
He's not even a chef.
218
He's somebody's uncle from Hong Kong.
219
And he knows how to make everything in under 30 seconds.
220
That guy's the real hero, you know what I mean?
221
He got a yellow wife beater that he brought from the old country.
222
Just chilling near the walk, cigarette in his mouth, just like.
223
That guy's a gangster, man.
224
And he just cusses casually in Cantonese.
225
Just like...
226
Any of you guys speak Cantonese here?
227
A couple of you guys.
228
I was born in Hong Kong.
229
That's my first language.
230
That's my first language.
231
I love that language, right?
232
I think it's the most fun language to speak, because it's the most fun language to cuss in.
233
In Cantonese, you can just like low-key, casually cuss.
234
Like, you go to Chinatown, you see like a nice old man walk by.
235
He would just be like, Right?
236
That sounds really nice, right?
237
But what he actually said was like, Oh, fuck your mother and hope your whole family dies.
238
That's Cantonese, man.
239
You gotta love it.
240
You gotta love it, man.
241
In a relationship, I think it's important to know how you convey love, but it's just as important to know how you receive love.
242
You gotta be vulnerable and let your partner do nice things for you.
243
See, I'm not very good at that.
244
I'm terrible at, like, directly asking for things that I want, so instead, I just drop little hints.
245
That's called being passive aggressive.
246
Don't do that.
247
Don't do that.
248
Like, for example, I love watching these YouTube videos of Japanese housewives making bento boxes.
249
It's very nice, very cute.
250
It's like a little ASMR, you know?
251
It's just really nice.
252
This Japanese woman wakes up at 6 a.m every day to make her working husband a bento box.
253
But I can't ask my venture capitalist girlfriend to make me a bento box?
254
I'm not an idiot.
255
I'm a sugar baby.
256
I know my role.
257
So instead of asking it directly, I just drop little hints.
258
Like we'll be sitting on the couch together.
259
I just pull on my phone and pretend I accidentally stumbled onto this video.
260
I'm like, oh, what is this?
261
Bento boxes?
262
Oh my God, it's so cute.
263
What is that, like a rice ball shaped like a panda?
264
Look, look, look, look.
265
Wow, so she makes this every day for him?
266
Wow, she must love him so much.
267
I thought I was being slick.
268
Until she came out to one of my shows.
269
And she heard this joke.
270
And she was really upset, man, and rightfully so.
271
I was just up here talking shit, right?
272
We went home, we got into a big fight.
273
She was like, babe, that's bullshit, okay?
274
If you want me to do something, why don't you just ask me directly?
275
And if you really want somebody to make you bento boxes, why don't you just go find a Japanese woman?
276
I'm like, babe, I'm sorry you feel that way, okay?
277
But I think you're missing the point.
278
You don't have to be Japanese to make bento boxes.
279
That's right.
280
That's right.
281
So now I'm making her bento boxes every day.
282
That's how I show my love.

O cenário: Namoro e humor no cotidiano de um ator asiático
No vídeo, o comediante Jimmy O. Yang compartilha anedotas hilárias sobre seu cotidiano de namoro, desde confusões no Tinder até relacionamentos com mulheres altas. A conversa é repleta de expressões coloquiais e humor sarcástico, refletindo situações reais que muitos podem identificar, mas com a pitada de personalidade que só um artista pode trazer. Essa mistura de realismo e diversão torna o diálogo perfeito para praticar a compreensão de inglês falado e a pronúncia.
Trechos úteis e colocações para memorizar
- "quasi-famous": Expressão informal para "quase famoso", usada para descrever uma situação de reconhecimento limitado. Exemplo: "Ele é quasi-famous na sua cidade, mas ninguém o conhece fora dela."
- "fake profile": Perfil falso, comum em redes sociais e apps de namoro. Exemplo: "Cuidado com aquele usuário — parece ser um fake profile."
- "self-deprecating": Auto-depreciativo, quando alguém se faz piada de si mesmo. Exemplo: "Seu humor é muito self-deprecating, mas sempre deixa todo mundo rindo."
- "obstructing other people's views": Bloqueando a visão de outras pessoas. Exemplo: "A árvore está obstructing other people's views da casa."
- "venture capitalist": Investidor de risco, profissão comum em contextos empresariais. Exemplo: "Sua irmã é uma venture capitalist e investe em startups inovadoras."
Seu desafio de shadowing: Repita e imite o humor
Para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e a fluência, use o método de shadowing: reproduza o diálogo do vídeo imitando a entonação, o ritmo e a ênfase de Jimmy. Escolha um trecho curto (como a parte sobre o Tinder ou a namorada alta) e ouça uma frase, pause e repita imediatamente. Isso ajuda a treinar a "shadow speech" — a capacidade de falar no mesmo ritmo que um nativo. Use um shadowing site para gravar sua voz e comparar com o original. Lembre-se: o objetivo é não apenas repetir, mas capturar o humor e a expressividade, o que tornará sua fala mais natural. Pratique diariamente por 5 minutos e veja como sua pronúncia melhora rapidamente!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | was frustrated · was lit · was raised |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | I've never seen · I've never heard |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
