i`m a fan of bobby lee and madtv, but this particular skit was not funny. i miss the days when skits were well-crafted with expositions, foreshadowing, escalations, and other writing techniques. nowadays, it`s all about portraying racial stereotypes in a way that`s too ridiculous to be considered offensive.

btw, the mom and dad were using japanese cultural references while the grandpa was using chinese. it`s like joking around about french stereotypes by making cracks about spaghetti, lucky charms, and tea-time.

this skit had a good premise, but the execution was weak.

^ and I still find it funny... I mean, how many Korean references are there that are well known to the western public? I doubt many people would miss the kimono and the Fu Manchu moustache there. It`s not only about Korean stereotype, but the inability to recreate a Korean stereotype to "love our child", IMHO.
It would be better if she could point out that "you`re not even acting like Koreans" though...

a white family pretending to be korean but speaking and acting japanese with a white grandfather making fun of chinese...that`s nice.

was that supposed to be a `canadian` accent at the end? i`ve been to canada a few times and i rarely heard the bobby`s world mom`s accent, maybe it`s like the US`s southern accent
