The More You Ruv Someone Avenue Q (Broadway In Bryant Park)

[LinguistTroubadour]

@melonbarmonster My god, you are the most arrogant person I've ever met. Just because everyone else doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they don't have any opinions or brains. Pfft, all you're saying is that you're more culturally sophisticated and educated that others require your indolent condescence. I never believe in anyone describing themselves that pompously.

[LinguistTroubadour]

@melonbarmonster Speaking of poor judgments... I actually have a racial problem with what you said. "American Sarcasm?" What's so American about sarcastic humor anyway, do you think you Americans invented it, do you think the rest of the world is just more stupid that we're ignorant of your oh so superior ways of slanting one another and you have to protect us from it? C'mon now, I found that really offensive. I suppose you'd say you didn't mean it, but nonetheless you were never in our boots.

[melonbarmonster]

@LinguistTroubadour American comedy along with Canada is the most sarcastic of all world comedies. That is empirical fact. You just love flaunting your ignorance don't you?

[LinguistTroubadour]

@melonbarmonster And, oh, Empirical Fact? How many languages do you speak? How many cultures have you immersed yourself in? How much do you know about all the minor cultures around the world even within well known countries? Your dear country America is just as provincial as any other countries in the world, as its sarcasm. The reason most foreigners don't understand yours is not because they don't know shit about dirty tongue - they just don't know English. Welcome to the World, dipshit.

[LinguistTroubadour]

@melonbarmonster There's racism against everyone everywhere, even against whites from asians. Listen, I apologize for being harsh I had a bad day because of some supersensitive asshole and I'm sorry you just reminded me of him. But I know about American sarcasm, hell just look at me speak. And I can say this has nothing to do with belittling us. Everyone should have some lenience to be made fun of, which actually makes them more relaxed and clear headed.

[theprinceofbroadway]

Forget all of that..... can we just pay attention on how AMAZING! ANN SANDERS IS AS CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

[christymychem]

I love Mary Faber. She's an amazing Kate Monster and she's an even better Heather in American Idiot.

[LetCorgisHaveWings34]

Mary Faber?... Hey, she was just in "American Idiot"! She played Heather, the pregnant girl, I think.

[OriginalEsshole]

These two actresss play a pretty good role in this show, didn't they?

[esswrig]

To everyone on this page arguing:

If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit, and everyone stopped being so PC....maybe we could live in (doo doo doo da doo) harmonyyyyyyyy!!!!!

I'm Asian and I find this show fuckin hilarious!!!!!! In fact, Christmas Eve is one of my most desired roles. :)

[raghibah]

Wow. Christmas Eve has such a powerful voice.

[BiteMe1806]

im asian... and i enjoyed the show.

[born0to0perform]

Please don't swear on a public webpage.

It's offensive.

[farc300]

Go watch the play and i think u would see tht they r not really making fun of asains, but the actual steryotype tht we give asains. U also need to work on ur arguement skills in general. Insulting the other person and cursing a lot makes u the unfavorable person in the arguement. So if someone just started reading this, they r more likely to not choose ur side.

[farc300]

i can see u took my advice on arguing

[kemperb]

Seriously, dude, you need to lighten up. EVERYONE else here thinks you're overreacting. Even the people who in your opinion should be offended, are not.

Ask yourself who is making the world a better place: the producers of this show, a show which nearly everyone (INCLUDING the people being stereotyped) enjoys, or you, who has done nothing but spew vitriol and offensive names at those people, even those who suggested you go see the show to put this in context.

[Thefreakiestshow]

what stereotype?!?!? Asians cant pronounce certain sounds!! Have you ever been to Chinatown?

[LinguistTroubadour]

@Thefreakiestshow I can thank you. Stop freaking out and just... GOD relax.

[melonbarmonster]

Wow, this is pathetic. I guess the whole lot of you assume that African Americans didn't mind being resorted to playing mammy and servant parts in Hollywood movies too. WTF. Racist aholes.

[LeoandTrina]

XD Maybe the people that have a problem with this song should check out the song "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" also from the play. They take equal jabs at everyone.

[melonbarmonster]

Do you retards share a brain. Just because it's in a show tune doesn't make it magically right. Learn to think for yourself instead of deferring to Broadway shows for how to live your life.

[LeoandTrina]

And maybe the play just reflects how I think? Just because YOU feel that way doesn't make it magically right either. No one's looking at the Broadway show to lead their life, it's JUST a Broadway show. But since it takes equal jabs at everyone, and insults EVERYONE, no one should be offended. But there are always people who will find something disrespectful, I suppose. But usually, those people just pass up videos like this instead of spending time on them and commenting back to everyone.

[Problemsxx]

But its true, you'll hear a racist joke and laugh becuase you understand the story behind it and its usually about degrading another person. Like seriously, I laughed my ass off when my BLACK friend said her "negro power" was activated when someone opened a chicken sandwhich from McDonalds. It was funny. It's a steryotype that all black people like fried chicken. AND... It's racist.

[Thefreakiestshow]

Youre a fuckin moron, you know that? STEREOTYPES are usually true! Do you think thats omebody one day said "Hey, wouldnt it be funny if all black people liked chicken and watermelon?" NO! Because they do, just like the damned chinese imigrants that come here dont bother learning proper english. Just like arabs love blowing shit up in the name of magic beard guy.stereotypes are true and you know it!

[Problemsxx]

so all are black people ignorant? Because that's a very common stereotype

[Kaileo1]

Might I point out that Avenue Q is full of gay stereotypes, and the vast majority of gays fully enjoy the show. Perhaps people offended by the Asian stereotypes could learn a lesson from us gays.

For me and many gays, the difference is that Avenue Q shows just how ridiculous the stereotypes are BY ridiculing the stereotypes.

[melonbarmonster]

Wow, this is pathetic. I guess the whole lot of you assume that African Americans didn't mind being resorted to playing mammy and servant parts in Hollywood movies too. WTF. Racist aholes.

[tlrease]

Good grief. Why can't people just appreciate what a talented singer she is? She is such an amazing vocalist. And not that it matters, but I am Korean. And I think the song is hilarious. I made my mother listen to it (she came to America when she was 20) and she couldn't stop laughing.

[melonbarmonster]

I feel sorry for you that you're entirely ignorant to the historical and cultural context behind racial pigeon holing in entertainment and media. Are you half Korean or something?

[melonbarmonster]

The faux asian accent is total BS. It's fuckin racist. Racial comedy is racist when it's not funny and this accent is not funny.

[sharall]

so it is funny when the asian woman that actually does the really bad asian accent in avenue q does it. oh wait, it's not racist when someone of the same race makes fun of their own race isnt it. bull...you need to listen to their song that is called "everyone is a little bit racist" and you will know why the accent is needed in this song.

[melonbarmonster]

Are you stupid? You get your cultural sensitivity education from Broadway songs? Black people used to play mammy and sambo parts in Hollywood movies when blacks were being lynched across the US. Go get a clue you stupid piece of shit.

[sharall]

hmm...me doth think you protest too much. and the use of the foul language isn't needed here since i for one used not one foul word. if you wish to argue, please do so intelligently, not as if you are from the gutter. thank you.

[melonbarmonster]

Did you read your own posts? You write stupid. You're total lack of culture and intelligence is hard to miss. I have more intelligence in my toe nail clippings than you. Don't make me laugh.

[sharall]

well you are truly entitled to your own views on things. so I will leave you to your own thoughts on this one as i do not feel the need to feed into your need to start malicious fights instead of thoughtful debates. good day sir.

[melonbarmonster]

Did you even graduate HS? You write and sound like an uneducated person.

[electricjellicle]

uh no sir, you do

[melonbarmonster]

I sound uneducated because I refuse to accept demeaning racial stereotypes? LOL. I'll solace knowing that there are entire academic fields that support my position. I guess Asian studies at universities across the US need education from you too. LOL.

[electricjellicle]

nah, you sound uneducated because you swear and use chatspeak, not because you "refuse to accept demeaning racial stereotypes".

[electricjellicle]

in chatspeak? ha i wasn't even aware of that. what has become of me...

this isnt my debate. just pointing out your statement was wrong. b'bye now, have a nice day!

[melonbarmonster]

The faux asian accent is total BS. It's fuckin racist. Racial comedy is racist when it's not funny and this accent is not funny.

[melonbarmonster]

The faux asian accent is total BS. It's fuckin racist. Racial comedy is racist when it's not funny and this accent is not funny.

[grumpyoldhepcat]

"Everyone's a little bit racist"

[melonbarmonster]

That doesn't excuse racist BS. Racial comedy done well is the best comedy in the world. This ignorant BS is absolutely inexcusable.

[lugnmungo]

Go buy a sense of humor or shut the f... up!

[melonbarmonster]

You have no sense of humor if you think this faux asian accent is funny with all the talented comedians out there who are artists with racial jokes. You are an ignorant retard if you think this is funny. Fucking swede telling me to buy a sense of humor... lol, now that's funny.

[melonbarmonster]

Hey retard spare me your birdbrain analysis on Japanese accents. The fact that you think having a Japanese neighbor somehow adds to your credibility says more about your cultural ignorance than anything about faux asian accents. Idiot.

[Stormfin]

the asian doesn't have a problem playing the part. why so serious?

[HortonHasHeard]

Wow and I thought Ann Harada had a powerful voice!

[ihavepsychicpowers]

haha thats what I thought too!

[Domatophobic]

Maybe she's being played by a different person here.

[WarningHighlyRandom]

This makes me cry.

All the songs in Avenue Q do.

Weather its laughing crying

or crying crying....

[fashionistaxx]

holy crap. im christmas eve in a little production of avenue q and no way can i make those top notes as good as that...... :(

[sixrubberduckies]

;D

[topex777]

ana harada and julie atherton are so great...

[Natz27]

Ann is sooooooooooo amazing!!! i still prefer Julie as Kate and Lucy hehehe!!

[ilovemystage]

I gota chance to take a workshop taught by Ann Sanders at our local Community theatre becaue she used o do plays there. It was so cool

[PianoCat5]

My God, I love Avenue Q so much. This song almost makes me cry, just because Christmas Eve is such a powerful singer, and I probably would cry if I wasn't laughing so damn hard. ^^

[AnimeAngelus]

lol ave. Q kicks ass. ^^

[fwoggymewmew]

that's cause ann sanders is the ORIGINAL christmas eve

[ClessAlvein17]

Ann Harada is the original Christmas Eve. She left the show in Feb of 2006.

[antibaka6502]

Ann Sanders is definetly my favorite of all the Christmas Eves I've seen. The others just don't have it like she does.

[Prishle]

I wish that whole beginning was on the soundtrack.

But Christmas Eve here is not as good.

[emeraldiguana]

wow...those ears really stole the show huh?

[parans]

I LOVE ANN SANDERS!!! :)

[Crystal0418]

They did a good job!

[IPaintedTheKitten]

Matthew Lillard? Okay...

Very cute. I wish they included all the lines before on the OBCR. They're so freaking funny.

[imamuppet]

Aww man that rocked. I wish I could see Avenue Q live...

[edjim08]

nice head, who's he?

[dallases]

WOW!

The guy with the head is legendary now... if this video ever gets an honors this dude's head will be known!

[Ramsgate15]

[PixieSpells]

[killerbasilisk]
