So FUNNY!
I am American living in Taiwan for the past 13 years, married to a Taiwanese wife for 15. This guy made me laugh out loud.

[AnishJohnThomas]

I’ve been taking pictures for years! Worst part is when there’s not enough cell phone signal in the store. (5G…my foot!). Take a pic, leave the isle, go to the front of the store, come back and…repeat! 😥
(I would gladly do that instead of returning the item.)

[John.]

Haha, I couldn't find something at the store once, and my wife asked me to send her a picture of the shelves where she said it was supposed to be. Of course, she found the item in the picture!

[robertschwartz]

MOLOTOV! MAZEL TOV! Oh well, any cocktail is fine with me!

[clrobinson]

I wish my husband would take pictures. He describes every. single. thing. on. the. shelf.

[alanmoon]

I'm blessed to know this comedian, I was honored when I emceed one of his shows, he never fails to make me laugh. Great job Jeff.

[manofculture]

This guy's jokes and timing are on point! The best clip I've seen for a while!

[irynpatience]

In the mall I see a lot of men taking pictures of things before they buy them. That's the standard rule

[Gromitz]

Don't send a man to get groceries, he doesn't care which product he gets, completion is the only objective. If you are the wife and care, put the product name and brand if it matters, otherwise don't complain...

[phasm]

I'm just old enough to have seen The Last Emperor 😅

[bestfriendu]

That's a wise man you should follow his lead😆😆😂

[childoftheeternalking]

This is hilarious. I watched it twice back to back just now.😄

[jollibee]

Noel here Jeff! I know that man! Had a meal together. Great, great guy for sure! Saw him "LIVE" in Fremont, CA too. He's real funny!

[wymanspace]

Do that all the time. Sending pictures or doing video calls … it’s all worth it, otherwise I’ll have to eat up all that she rejects and the kids are not going to help.

[ingridfong-daley]

My daughter came home from pre-k talking about "Missy Noo-Noo", and we were positive it was gibberish, but she got really mad that we were kinda dismissive when she kept asking for it and we couldn't decode what she meant.
Two full years later, I'm seeing Elmo's World on Sesame Street for the first time, and I hear Kevin Clash say "Mr. Noodle" in that helium-ified strangled baby voice, and i'm like "OMG it's Missy Noo-Noo!!"

Two full years, and Mr. Noodle was like her Snuffleupagus... we had no idea it was a 'thing'. :)

I grew up with old-school Sesame Street. Supergrover was about as modern as I'd gotten. (And seriously, who needs more?) ;)

Also: 如果你学中文，你可以去中国当英语老师，赚很多钱。

对不起--i maybe kinda kilt that grammar. And apparently switching language inputs to Chinese pinyin changes font size.

I'm not hollering. :) Although, that is kinda how we spoke there, so maybe it's just a super-accurate translation feature.

[robrot]

That old guy at the store sounds like me!

[majoroldladyakamom]

Once again, thanks so much, DB, for uplifting our spirits and hearts, even if it's only for a few minutes, full specials or a montage of old clips.

Yay!! I'm always happy to see your Notifications. 👍

Might want to change "every" to "ever" in the Description down below... Don'tcha just hate it when SPELLCHECK doesn't happen?

Than, then, two, to, two?

Love you, DB... more than you'll ever know, from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle.

Thanks again... 🤣

BTW, this guy is brilliant. More of him? Please? He's wonderful.

⚘🙏❤🙏⚘

You would think the father of a Chinese kid would know that there is no language that is called Chinese there are two languages in China what is Mandarin and one is Cantonese you're welcome

[jeffcabral]

How did men survive without women all these years lol.

[PWizz]

Strange isn't it... if he didn't have a Chinese wife. That first joke would of been deemed racist in towards world.. haha
