Re: Local Jokes and Humor of Hawaii
This filipino guy got assaulted last night in Aala Park by a large negro man.
Police quickly apprehended and arrested the suspect who would not stop yelling and screaming "Yo man he called me a "Black Bastard"!!!!"
The Police then asked the filipino man why he thought the black man had assaulted him. The little filipino man began to explain "I do not know, he ask me which way to Riber Street, I only tell him he is One Black Past it"

Stand Up for the Plantation Cultures
Funny you say that (paradox intended).Originally posted by newroots
Been waiting for exactly this kind of comment, because it touches base on humor and comedy and the demographics of the audience it's intended for.
Jeff Foxworthy's "So you think you're a redneck" pokes fun at the stereotype of the a southern "redneck". Why he's able to market that comedy on a national level is because it's applicable and comprehendible to every part of the country. People can say where they live, "Oh we have our own 'Rednecks' so-to-speak, so THAT'S FUNNY! I can relate".
On the other hand, if Augie T. or Gregg Hammer were to go on a national comedy circuit and tell Filipino jokes such as "Beef Stew" (beeps too), it just wouldn't work. Audiences who haven't been exposed to the Filipino culture would never know why on earth that would be humorous.
Andy Bumatai toured the national stand-up circuit (VH-1, Evening at the Improv to name a few). He was successful at it because he mostly presented a different gig than his Hawaii material. If he did drop in a few local jokes, it was explained completely. Similar to how Frank DeLima does for tourists at his current Waikiki show.
One of the core subjects in local humor of Hawaii is the LANGUAGE of each culture and the English accents that evolve from it.
In comedy, I like to refer to Hawaii's familiar cultures as "Plantation Cultures". Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Filipino, Samoan, Hawaiian, Haole (Caucasions), Korean, Vietnamese, Mexican (Hispanics), in no particular order. Not to present a formal history to any one of these, but as those that are most commonly brought up in local comedy.
While these "Plantation Culture" ethnic groups are not exclusive only to Hawaii, it would be safe to say most of them aren't as understood or exposed to society in other states as they are here. Well, Haoles and Mexicans yes, but on a different level of respect.
Personally, I grew up with all these "Plantation Culture" groups. Ate their foods, stayed in their homes. Became good friends and coworkers with ALL of them.
That said, the "Beef Stew" joke is pretty darn' funny to me!

California fer example, is much like many states; seems to be such a melting pot of so many races, caucasian is more and more a minority, the 'mistaken for similar sounding words' humor is getting to be fairly universal.Comment

Had one Hawaiian, Japanee, and Portagee. So they all stey crossing this farmer's land at night. The Hawaiian go first and knocks over a can and hides behind a cow, and da farmer comes out - "Who's there?!". Da Hawaiian goes "MOOO", so da farmer goes back in his house. Soon da Japanee decides he going too, but he
knocks over a can and again da farmer came out and asked who was there, and da Japanee says "BAA" since he wen hide behind one goat. Again da farmer go back inside. Seeing how da hawaiian and Japanee made um, da Portagee decide dat he get his one down too. He go for cross the yard and knock over one can. Da Farmer comes out again and asks "Who's there?!!". "POOTAAATOOOE"CrAcK KiLLs....SmAcK A CrAcKA!!
