Ronny Chieng exists in a perpetual state of annoyance in his funny new Netflix stand-up special, Asian Comedian Destroys America!
The holidays, more than any other time of the year, remind us of just how much unnecessary waste we as a people generate. Double-bagged groceries, toys swaddled in layers of plastic, and packing peanuts are about as American as apple pie. Ronny Chieng is quick to point this out on his new, in which he approaches every subject with either contempt, awe or admiration. At the very center of this Venn diagram: American entitlement.
Most of the time during the set, Chieng seems to exist in a perpetual state of annoyance , and that’s when he’s at his funniest. Between his use of repetition and physical affectations , his angry moments become ones of comic catharsis. Chieng takes each subject to its hyperbolic end, and is especially insightful when he discusses American desire for goods-on-demand.
Some of Chieng’s more divisive material revolves around race . One of the Chinese comedian’s bits frames Asian people in the U.S. as the cool-headed arbiters who should mediate between black and white communities. The jokes are funny, but in a way the set up feels like a strange repackaging of the “model minority” myth. It also feels uncomfortable in the context of black-Asian conflict within the U.S.
