What would comedy be if it's not pushing boundaries? If it doesn't have a chance of offending someone? If it doesn't tell truth to it?
Jokoy looks back and tells a background story about his first show on Netflix, and turns it into comedy. At the time, it was probably the scariest moment in his career: trying to make it as a comedian, and risking all his livelihood in this one show. He compared his experience with a white counterpart, where an exec saw the asian accent as racist and the white accent was normal. He's pushing boundaries here. And he did offend many. But he told the truth via his experiences that many could relate. Truth be told, many Asians don't think that the bits he does with an accent is racist, but actually relate-able. His point is that systemic racism is brought up by not having representations of other cultures, and he lived through it to tell the tale.
Among the other themes are: empowering women, minorities, and deconstructing cliché topics.
How he uses comedy to bring light to the topics he brings up is just comedy at its peak.
