The Kevin Nealon Show - Ian Edwards - Slavery

[djflashb]

@2:35 i would've answered " the mexicans " LOL

[djflashb]

Kevin is great if you ask me

[ElmoMcSpuds]

haha black people came over from africa to egypt

[dumnorkevi]

@ElmoMcSpuds hes indirectly making a joke about black people thinking they decend from egypt. that white guy is a smartass. and its funny that only black americans claim this and not the rest of the black world

[rabbifilms]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RACE! get over it (not the comedian).

[Davetacular45]

@TheSoundjataKeita Really, I didnt know that they learned it from the Egyptians. Egyptians deserve more credit. Still, I don't understand why the race of the Egyptians seems to be such a hot topic for a lot of people.

[TerizJatik]

Ian Edwards is my favorite sassy black woman!

[TheLaughFactory]

@TerizJatik LOL!

[Davetacular45]

Its interesting how much argument there is to what the race is of the ancient Egyptian people, I don't know why, because it doesn't really matter. Even if you could prove you are the same ethnicity of the Egyptians, its not like that means you were around or involved in any of their accomplishments. Its funny how individuals like to try and stake claim to things because other people of their race did it, people should get off their asses and do something themselves that they can brag about.

[TheSoundjataKeita]

@Davetacular45 ,Why all the western classsics come from Grece,why you guys learn them? Why all the scientific terms have roman roots? why all the western philosophy is based on ancient Grece ? Well ideologically speaking It's important for a pleople to have backgrounds they can relate to,when Africans (all over the world) will understand that Ancient egypt is for them what ancient Grece and Roma are for westerners, this continent and his kids all over the world will full realized themselves

[Davetacular45]

@TheSoundjataKeita I guess maybe you have a point there, but I think, at least to me, the whole Roman and Greek thing isn't so much a source of racial pride and I don't see it as a bragging chip, rather we often research it because its where many cultural and academic foundations originate.

Nothing of that sort really originates out of Egypt, it was an important and powerful civilization, and was also possibly the earliest, but I don't know any cultural influence it has on any modern people.

[TheSoundjataKeita]

@Davetacular45 ,The construction of the pyramids demand a huge amount of knowledge in physics,mathematics and technology I mean it's obvious.What I want to say is 2000 years before Pythagoras who has supposedly discover the theorem that bears his name hyp(sqr)=s1(Sqr)+s2(Sqr) Egytians were already using it to build their pyramids,when you know that Pythagoras went to egypt to learn geometry will you tell me that nothing comes from Egypt? Ideology my friend can make people bigger than they are

[Davetacular45]

@TheSoundjataKeita Egypt should be respected, but if we can just get back to what I am saying, its not a racial thing. Westerners happen to look to those civilizations because its part of our cultural history, but I don't think white people care because they are white. I even have some white friends who believe the Romans were not "white" because they were the ancestors of southern Italians, but it doesn't bother him.

[Davetacular45]

@Davetacular45 them, rather

[Davetacular45]

@TheSoundjataKeita but I guess thats just my opinion. I am sure there are racially minded whites who like to boast about the achievements Greece and Rome being part of their racial heritage, while they themselves have done nothing important.

[5033481boy]

naa im from sudan its the country right underneath egypt in africa. true were black but allong time ago the arabs or whatever not sure wich exactly but they came down and mixed with some of the africans so thats why im assuming egyptions are like that and so are the other countries around it and its true most of north africa do speak arabic

[Kneleist]

Its not that they dont like bush its just that they prefer dick

[tdotK1D]

that was a prettyyy akward conversation wholy fuck.

"you call it sex, we call it rape".

[xe585]

kevin really likes to talk about slaver im not sure i got where the joke is in him keep talking about non funny subjects like the underground railroad and lonely slave rapists

[londontopboy]

The slaves In Egypt were Black, So where the masters Pharaoh Was Black, Cleopatra Jones was Black, The faces on the mountains were black that what White people hate

[thtfatguykelz]

@londontopboy I hope you Cleopatra Jones is the name of a fictional character from a blaxploitation movie and not the historical Cleopatra?

[Fasil777]

I like how Kevin tried to corner him with the " Jewish slaves built the pyramids" but the guy eluded him lool very clever of him

[MangaReaderZ]

lol "shotgun on slavery" XD

[CityFlashLights]

Egyptians with black slaves?? They where the ones who had slaves.

[gymrat7847]

@CityFlashLights know anything about history? Ethiopia, Nubia, Kush and so on all black slaves of Egypt.

[spookyKAS]

play checkers? who'd be white? it'd get hella confusing

[duckandcoverX]

EGYPT IS IN AFRICA...HOLY SHIT

[hhrainbowz]

"Well...you call it sex. We call it rape."

lmfao

[littlebirdmjfan]

Woooo! We won! lmfao XD #Jewish_Pride?

[Pravoizavlijesvijeta]

i like him, but ian is so caught up in conspiracy shit about black people. and he seems really stiff.

[MrRobyopunkass]

@Pravoizavlijesvijeta HOW would u get "conspiracy" from that ????

[WAKEUPshift111]

The egyptians were black, they came over from Africa...

Who was in Egypt before the blacks came over?

Like, really? Somebody failed Geography.

[gymrat7847]

@WAKEUPshift111 not all of Africa is black and it as has never been all black. much like Iraq is in Europe but they are not white or India is in Asia and they are not yellow. somebody failed anthropology. 

[bajholster]

The Kevin Nealon Show: Where Kevin Nealon talks more than his guests.

[BuckwildWill]

well this interview wasn't tense at all or anything..

[GothAkila]

Does anyone else think its odd that they said black people came to Egypt from Africa?

[WAKEUPshift111]

@GothAkila its more than odd... its baffling lol

[ArtDaUr]

:DDDDDDDDDDD well you call it sex, we call it rape

[Memegymnast]

Egpyt is in Africa.

[sneakertri]

@Memegymnast exactly 

[catojoergensen1985]

Either Kevin Nealon's head is huge or Ian Edwards' head is tiny. There is something wrong here...

[willbindley]

How can you 'come over' from africa to be in egypt? Swear all Americans have no geography knowledge..

[timhyer1]

Was Ian Edwards ever a slave? I'm just curious, I really don't know. He talks about it as if he were.

[blahblahblahman]

Anyone notice a pattern here?

Bobby Lee - "Asian Parents"

Ian Edwards - "Slavery"

I could go on all day but I don't feel like listing all of the related videos.

Why is it that "ethnic" people/minorities always have to present comedy relating to their background? It seems as if these are the only comedians who are really given a shot or any spotlight...to exploit their cultural background with stereotypes and stupid cliches.

[DsOwAn]

@blahblahblahman The cable guy heck all the guys from blue collar comedy.

[minhduy322]

@blahblahblahman Because there is a pattern, if you noticed most of the comic that sell today and last few years, some of them got big just because of ethnic. For example, Russell Peter, Carlos Mencia, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle... Well Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock actually talked about something else beside Ethnic but ya... you get my point right?

Excuse my bad english Grammar

[Supremed9]

@blahblahblahman blablablablablabla

[blahblahblahman]

Jewish people were never slaves, the bible is not an actual historical document of events that took place in real life.

[Fasil777]

@blahblahblahman Jews were enslaved by Egyptians . nothing to be ashamed of

[blahblahblahman]

@Fasil777

Jews were NEVER enslaved by Egyptians. The bible is a mythical book/fairytale, which no credible historian regards as a historical document of any REAL events that ever took place in the history of mankind.

[suckittwins]

kevin nealon doesnt know that africa is a continent

[L8rBek]

"Toot tooot!! Last train to freedom!" Hahahahahaha that cracked me up!

[ikodru]

i didn't like this. it was discomforting to me. thats just me tho

[aaronjanke]

@ikodru Yea, I found that conversation really uncomfortable as well. Maybe it should happen, but I don't think making light of slavery is very funny. I thought Ian Edwards jokes about the absurdity of being competitive over slavery was funny, but he still acknowledged how awful slavery is.

[ZehGfather]

Love the Hendrix shirt!

[Answer1994]

Stupid Americans, Egypt IS in Africa!

[Camphibious]

really like his delivery

[glaxglax]

i can never tell whether kevin nealon is actually laughing or pretending to laugh, he just laughed the exact same way when interviewing adam devine and was clearly not a fan of his. i did think this guy was funny though

[NanProphet]

@glaxglax haha did it occur to you that he may be laughin at the jokes he was creatin in his head about adam D? the mind of a comic is very physically expressive... sneaky fucks those funny guys

[glaxglax]

@NanProphet yes it did, but he laughed the same way when he said his own jokes as when adam did the bit pretending to be his mom. also introducing him as "andy" isn't even really a joke, and sort of a dick move. i haven't seen any other interviews where he prepares his jokes more as insults, even when he was interviewing the guy who dressed metro (moshe kasher) he seemed a little less focused on ripping the guy and more on hearing what he had to say.

[k5lta]

I LOVE IAN!!!!!!!!!

[GorgonDrageil]

Man... the last 8 or 9 Kevin Nealon Shows have been with the comedians I was interested in. Love it. Always look forward to this show.

[TheBrradsullivan]

this went from funny to awkward really fast

[mrdta97]

yeah, im getting tired of racism humor in general its never original and to be honest everyone was a slave to someone at some point how about we all just get over it.

[JustINformU]

Laugh Factory any vids you have on Patrice? RIP

[TheGoliathsound]

horrible interview KN.

[judikerr]

when i realized it was him i said "YESS" becuz he got me laughing so hard when he talks about his acting classes he took

[jamesnashh]

i don't know about everyone else but i am so fricken sick of people talking about thier colour race or religion in these things....

[startingabandsoon]

Jimi Hendrix shirt fuck the world

[CrackThoseClaws]

Kevin Nealon ruins this show.

[hockeypark]

@CrackThoseClaws AGREED!

[adrastea]

never heard of this guy. hes pretty damn good.

rip patrice o neal.

[TheLaughFactory]

@adrastea Thanks for laughing with us today; lots more Ian on our channel.

RIP to Patrice. Go catch a live comedy show near you to have some laughs on his behalf.

[CoconutOctopus]

I'm pretty sure that Kevin Nealon is just huge, and immortal.

[CinematicEdits]

LOOOL Last train to freedom ahahah.

[TheGavio93]

that man has my jimi hendrix shirt! i wonder where it went off to....

[Chr0nicMasterbater]

TOOT TOOOT LAST TRAIN TO FREEDOM! LOLLL made my day.

[puremage400]

Kevin Nealon really big or is Ian Edwards small?

[BabylonGenocide149]

@puremage400 Kevin is big Ian is small. I actually had to double take that

[Pravoizavlijesvijeta]

i know that slavic people were enslaved hence "slaves". i know that serbians suffered 500 years under the ottomans and were held like slaves and our women were raped too. and in the two world wars serbs lost the most people proportionally, corats even tried to extinguish in concentration camps.

so WE win this goddamn award.

[alimaswala]

@Pravoizavlijesvijeta like the guy said...do you really want to call shotgun on this thing??

[Pravoizavlijesvijeta]

@alimaswala hehe yeah we do. 

[chrmunoz]

@alimaswala I feel most of the time people point to slavery as an excuse to pull out the race.

[Issaquan5]

@Pravoizavlijesvijeta lol

[ramirezz101]

whoa slavory still makes a lot of Americans uncomfortable, I can just feel it in this conversation.

[TheLaughFactory]

@ramirezz101 Hard to believe it has been less than 150 years. I look forward to a time when this will be dated material! :)

[gymrat7847]

@TheLaughFactory yah people talk about it like it was so long ago. my grandmother's grandmother was a slave. we are talking generations here and people say things like get over it. kinda sad how quick america (as a whole) wants to whiteout our own history as if it never happened.

[Hornystick]

@ramirezz101 ofc it does, you Americans should be ashamed, really...

[MrDrBalls]

@Hornystick Actually, it was Portugal, Spain, France, Great Britain and the Netherlands that were the main traffickers in slavery. After gaining independent status as a nation America profited heavily from the slave trade but did end it completely and free its slave population. Equality has been slow to come, but slavery was ended by America 145 years ago.

[NaziJesus]

@MrDrBalls fuck yeah portugal!

[PSNnightmare]

@MrDrBalls And somehow all those countries listed EXCEPT america fully treat blacks with respect. USA May have done well in abolishing slavery but its never been able to fully treat everyone equally like europe.

[ramirezz101]

@Hornystick

lol, I'm Dutch, but okay.

[pinolero13]

actually jewish were never slaves,you were always the slave Ian,your the real israelite...check ur history bro

[ams914]

Dark.

[RebornLegacy]

@ams914

what is that supposed to mean

[InnerConflict011]

The jews were the slaves to the Egyptians. Hence moses. :P

[LauraG963]

Wtv if it was a contest we'd totes win every time..

:P

[ReaLKnozu]

I think it was the Chinese (y) lol

[fenix9885]

Edwards looks awkward. He seems like he has a chip on his shoulder and doesn't really come off as being light hearted. He comes off as really serious about slavery and that doesn't make people laugh when you just seem perpetually pissed

[nwa011992]

@fenix9885 I can't tell if he's pissed or just has an odd demeanor.

[dustybeijing]

@fenix9885 Yeah... I'm white, but I'd probably be pretty pissed if someone whose ancestors may well have been responsible for enslaving and raping my ancestors decided to make jokes about it. Today's white people are not personally responsible for slavery, and I make no personal apology for it, but I don't joke about it to black people. That's fucked up.

[austizz1e]

aliens built the pyramids

[Issaquan5]

@austizz1e course they did

[jr0014]

"we call it rape", that was brilliant

[LPSmasonry]

@jr0014 ...and true

[Kevin32001]

@jr0014 It was the first thing that came to my mind, pretty easy segway to make. Wasn't very "Brilliant" if you ask me, but then again I may be brilliant. But seriously lol, what Kevin said is true. And what people don't realize was for every bad or abusive plantation there was, there were many plantations who treated slaves properly, feeding them, shelter, not being abusive, having actual relationships with them. Granted they still owned them, but it was far less abusive than people think.

[LuisFilipeCC]

Egipt is in Africa.

[husain2213]

@LuisFilipeCC Egypt is in africa** put people ther arn't black

[LauraMocean]

this guy is funny!:)

[thecocreator88]

Haha MSG train

[seomoz]

i could listen to this conversation for hours

[idogri]

finnaly ian

[DITeNOW]

[hockeypark]

this guy's legit jokes.

[MyFunnyBrianShow]

Slavery makes me sad and mad! My Mom said it was bad!

[rocky0240]

Y U NO FUNNY?!

[InGallifrey]

@rocky0240 You're from tumblr =O haha! kidding! but I agree with you....

[pololoco89]

black people playing the race card, go figure...

[bobjohnlee]

@pololoco89 people still making comments about how non-white comedians often talk about race.

how ironic.

[JaYxStOkEs]

@pololoco89 You making it sound like he was offending somebody. He was making jokes. If anything he should be commended for joking about something like that.

[RebornLegacy]

@pololoco89

Another stupid white person who doesn't know the definition of race card, go figure

[AvatarIroh]

GOOD THING IM NOT
