i agree that sho's accent is iffy but isn't it basically the same accent cho uses in her stand-up to imitate her parents? i don't think that excuses the 30 rock bits but it's not like she's in yellowface. but it's not as for her characterization of kim jong il, it's at least focused on a specific person, not a race in general, and it's mostly about his ridiculous megalomania instead of a parade of general asian stereotypes?

specific character parodies can become metonymic of a larger group pretty easily tho. wouldn't be surprised if most people remember just haha funny accent. nb haven't seen any of the pop American culture parodies of Kim Jong but uh have encountered them second hand after team America
― dayo, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
I know the impersonation from MADTV and Team America.
It must be hard though to impersonate someone whose voice was almost-never heard, but it can go too far.
Dayo, have you seen the semi-regular opening skit on SNL where Bill Hader plays the Chinese premier appearing side-by-side with Obama and talks about the U.S. not paying their debt?
― pplains, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
no but sounds great
― dayo, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:39 (twelve years ago) link
It was Forte and Hader. They don't stretch their eyes out or anything, but it's still odd to see four white comedians play Asian and African-American figures.

i had reservations about cho's kji last week, but decided not to air them during the earlier part of the discussion. the fact that it's a fairly accurate parody of a specific, horrible and rather bizarre person does help justify the approach. i'm with nhex, however, in that something about it still doesn't sit quite right.

Assignment:Create a blog that reflects your interests and drive traffic to your site.
Cholafied comes from the mind of a Los Angeles kid who grew up in the 90's back when chola style was popular. Cholafied combines the nostalgia of L.A. street culture with L.A.'s obsession with fame. Los Angeles manufactures the famous. We have fandoms who are loyal to them, but like a gang initiation we beat them down so we can watch them try to get back up. I reimagine pop culture icons as L.A. gangster chicks, and jump them into a gang - into the absurd.
Result:In one day Cholafied.com had spread to over 160 countries. In less than a month it had over 100,000 unique visitors and 10,000 Tumblr followers. It was featured on news sites (Huffington Post, LA Weekly), gossip blogs (Dlisted, Oh No They Didn’t), lifestyle blogs (Paper Magazine, Vice), and design blogs (Design You Trust, Inspire First).
Buzzfeed even dubbed it “your new favorite Tumblr”. www.Cholafied.com
― goole, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
I think the only reason that tumblr is successful is because ppl see the URL and start singing "so-o-o/so-o-o/so-o-o cholafied" to the tune of Da Brat's "Funkdafied"
