What are your thoughts about this clip? (Adam Corolla/Asians)

Anyone ever seen this guy on comedy central? The few times i've turned to it out of sheer boredom it was possible the worst thing i've ever seen. He's awkward, doesn't think fast, can't respond quickly to calls, and his jokes are horrible and predictable.

/sigh. Whenever anything unexpected happens he doesn't know what to do/can't play it off. I had to agree with one of the fan letters he got- "Where do you get the audience for this show? it must be the last stop before the electric chair".

Edit: Just listened to it... yeah. No better on radio than on TV. Poor take on a joke thats been beaten to death countless times better before. Not to mention, way too long for a simple asian name joke. There are very, very few times I feel this way, but at the end I actually wanted my two minutes back. I was **shuddering** physically from pure disgust.
 
if the OP is asking if this is offensive to asians, personally as an asian, it isn't offensive to me.

not particularly clever or amusing but not offensive.

I find Corolla mildly amusing on The Man Show, but agree that this clip was in extremely poor taste.

I think it's impressive that Asian-Americans have made such advances in entertainment in the past 9 years. It wasn't that long ago that Asian roles were being played with Caucasian actors who taped their eyes back to look slanted! I think it's unfortunate that it took so long for the academy to recognize a black male/female actor with Denzel Washington and Halle Berre. We have a long way to go in terms of race relations in this country, but it is good to see that improvement is being made, depite attempts like Adam's to push them back.
 
uh....i usually have a good sense of humor, even when making fun of asians (myself being asian).


but that wasn't even funny.


i'm offended as someone who enjoys comedy.
 
there was truly no reason for him to leave love line. It was his perfect job, and rob Rob Schneider is a disastor as his replacement.
