Simu Liu ROASTS Celebs on Plastic Surgery Use!

simu Leu just hosted The People's Choice Awards making jokes about plastic surgery Taylor Swift and himself but let me tell you why this was a bigger deal than most people think I don't really think it's a big deal cuz I care more about the twitch world and the internet world who cares about mainstream pop culture anymore it's no longer relevant um Andrew we got to talk about it because simu Leu just hosted The People's Choice Awards and a lot of people are debating whether he did a good job whether he did a bad job whether pop culture that's mainstream Hollywood TV is still even relevant in today's modern society where the internet stars and the twitch streamers mean so much more so we're going to talk about it break it down give you the pros and cons give you our hot tis make sure you like subscribe turn on your notifications but also check out smass sauce.com because we got another batch dropping soon Andrew here's my argument I think that pop culture still matters like on a mainstream level you know why because if we analyze it Andrew let's take a look at the 12th annual People Choice Awards in 1986 all white uhhuh 1996 10 years later The Cosby's win right it goes to show you that's already a change right because the black show won yes 2006 Ellen degenerous came out of the closet and married her wife you a lot of people don't understand in ' 06 that was revolutionary mhm another that is big another pop cultural shift seismic yes 2016 Big Bang Theory a nerd Tech show about venture capital and startups wins yeah another shifting culture y 2024 another 10 years later almost simu Li's hosting do you see what I'm saying every 10 years you see the shift in culture represented at the People's Choice Awards I agree because people choice although it's not the Oscars it's really about pop culture culture and that's why a lot of the movies that won are mainstream pop culture movies now on the other hand if you're really into Cinema you might be like I don't care about the People's Choice Awards it doesn't matter because you're saying that's low brow I care about the osers I care about who wins cans I care about who wins Sundance and I care about who wins the Oscar High Society but but but People's Choice is for the people is for the mainstream so I think that although a lot of people don't usually care about this award show to be honest it's not the biggest award show I think simu hosting it was actually a big deal because it put an Asian guy at the center of an award show about pop culture and that is relevant all right let's take a look at who else won Andrew Travis Kelce Adam Sandler Taylor Swift Barbie which seu was in Ryan Gosling for Barbie Kelly Clarkson Jennifer andison Margo Robbie Hunger Games Oppenheimer Taylor Swift Selena Gomez Nicki Minaj Kim Kardash iian Kardashian was it Khloe Kardashian you knew one of the Kardashians was going to win is it cuz Chloe got hot she finally got hot is that what they're giving her the award for well it's funny because uh simu made OIC and fillers and uh plastic surgery jokes and yeah anyways guys I thought overall I don't really think the debate is about if simu did bad I think most people who watched it thought simu did okay I think he did a solid job I thought his jokes were pretty good I thought he delivered them you know his monologue was solid did it go better than Joe Koy at the uh at the at the Emmys uh yeah I would say it went better I give him an eight out of 10 even though we were going to get into the comment sections a lot of people thought he could have went way edgier and went at people's throats more but that's not necessarily his style but it could be but also he's sort of the newcomer Asian guy straight Asian guy in the Hollywood space he can't just eviscerate everybody yeah I don't think that's who he is and it would be a little bit off brand I think that he can when he hosts like the Asian-American award shows like the unforgettable Gala he can go a little bit harder the commun that's within the community but of course on outside of the community I think he's going to be the nice guy he's going to be the good guy right uh let's start off with the jokes Andrew you said he had one about OIC fillers um Andrew some of the Stars like Jennifer Addison and Adam sailor they're pretty much almost 60 years old yeah and they're still winning these Awards they've been winning these Awards for 30 years yeah and I think that that just goes to show you that they're still relevant obviously all the Hollywood treatment is working for them but um he did have a joke that said the Asian host of a major award show what could possibly go wrong right people didn't really get it in the crowd I yeah because I don't think everybody thought about Joe Koy bombing that was actually more of like an internal like comedy thing no no wouldn't you say almost more of a Asian comedian topic yeah but actually honestly I think because most of the people that are in the audience are actually other actors they don't think about it right um he said I thought my career peaked at Shang Chi but I was in a do a leap of music video I didn't know he was in to do a leap of music video I didn't even know that that happened so shout out to C she's Albanian and her eastern Europeans always show Asian guys love man people don't trust me that is a guaranteed Trend um he you know had some jokes about the Beyonce mute challenge Pedro Pascal edits on Tik Tok these are all like just trendy internet things right um he also said Asians can also be awful human beings uh this was like an Asian representation joke when he was talking about beef showing more multifaceted aspects of asian-americans right yeah yeah yeah and I think that is the that's like a general joke about the show beef that I thought went fine I thought it was more for the internet I thought like the crowd didn't it didn't connect with the crowd I don't think the white celebrities in the crowd watched beef to be honest um of course a lot of Barbie Taylor Swift stuff ultimately let's just get into the comments section Andrew somebody said really solid job he delivered here you know self-deprecation he had a lot of energy it was a delicate balance eight out of 10 yeah um of course Andrew I saw I did see this comment a lot in the comment section from white guys specifically they're like who who is simu Leu people trying to question his status because they're not used to seeing an Asian guy let alone a straight Asian guy have that elevated position in Hollywood right I think if you know what the People's Choice Award was and you were watching it you probably knew vaguely who simu was at least do you think it's true that white people are less white guys specifically Pro are less likely to know who see yes I think women know who simu is because Sim's been on the Kelly Clarkson show a lot he's obviously was in Barbie like those are like female you're saying dudes are like who who's that dude like yeah but I don't even think these guys are think he's cool dude I don't think think these guys are big pop culture fans either way somebody said he's the next Kevin Hart in terms of being in everything because simu is shown obviously he could act he could do the hosting it' be on TV he could do the comedy stuff he could do the SNL stuff somebody said simu played it too safe way too safe he's like everyone's token Asian best friend I would love to see him get edgier with the digs the comedy more sharper you know what it is I'd like to see simu in a roast do they still do Comedy Central roasts like where they roast one I think C should be in one of those and roast a celebrity I think that would be cool no for sure I but yeah I don't expect him to roast people at the People's Choice Awards um what do you think ultimately Andrew this is a uh a big deal if people think about it but I guess nowadays there's so many Asian movies and TV shows people could more overlook this but as somebody who's hosted shows before Asian shows not Asian shows in college we hosted all types of you know African-American fraternity shows uh uh Latino frat conventions all types of shows it is a big deal yeah yeah and I think that um I think it's good that a Asian dude is in the room and he's hosting things and he's at an award show like at a at an award show where maybe no other singular Asian guy won any award simu is there and by him even hosting it that in a way is winning an award that means simu is pop culturally relevant and that is good for Asian guys so whether or not his jokes hit hard enough I'm like guys you don't understand that's not his place to even do that so that's why it's not I don't I he's not coming in as Ricky Jas yeah he's not coming in as a ripping comedian and not only that people's choice of word that the tone is not like that yeah maybe if Ronnie Chang hosted it he could go a little harder or Jimmy oang would go a little harder because they're comedians like by trade but you know simu is still an actor so he's going to play nice but I think one thing I don't know did they like could simu have brought had everybody drink Boba or something had a boba segment is that relevant still like do we still want to see celebrities drink a chewy tea like are we trying to are you saying are we trying to shove our more internal asien American internal Enclave culture and thrust that onto the mainstream on stage at the People's Choice like should he have uh closed off his final segment drinking a boba or something or like people got to take shots of Soju even you know cuz Soju and Boba those are the two I would say kind of like Asian drinks that are cracking their way into the mainam could he have refer do you think it would have been funny if he goes no I'm not a member of BTS or do you think that would have been too playing into the Asian stereotype or do you think no I I don't think he should have made that joke yeah um what do you think about people like should people care about mainstream culture because it's it's crazy because simu I know simu personally right we're friends with with him he knows a lot about mainstream pop culture but would you agree with me that a lot of asian-americans don't know about mainstream pop culture because we can be more tapped into pop culture from Asia internet pop culture Tik Tok you know what I mean like we more lean into alternative media because we don't fully see ourselves participating in the mainstream as much W I think it's interesting that the People's Choice it is American pop culture it's not even giving foreign films a lot of uh it's not about foreign films it's not about foreign CA it's not about Indies it's it is just about the biggest mainstream hits in pop culture was Bad Bunny even there right it's kind of like a overview like I look at People's Choice Awards almost like wow that wow hits Series where they sell you the CD of all the top hits of like that year of music you know one from every genre or like two from every genre where it's like this kind of covers it all guys these are the big hits so this kind of tells you this is where uh culture is at now beef was mentioned simu is at the show that's already a little bit more Asian representation than previous years you know what I mean so I think like uh yeah I think it was good I think it was good I'm was glad to see it everybody handles these jobs differently Chris Rock and he handled it different from Gerard carmichel who's GNA handle it different from Kevin Hart who's going to handle it different from whoever you know what I mean and minority is like going to have like depending on their perception their mission their capacities obviously what the the the organization tells them was is within their breadth of like lateral flexibility is going to make a different choice on how hard they want to push the ethnic angle onto the mainstream crowd yeah yeah I don't I don't blame simu for not pushing it too hard about being Asian I don't think like uh people might have got uncomfortable right I don't think they need needed to be so I think hey man have just had to keep the ball rolling rians man this was essentially the American pop culture Awards of TV shows not music right this was the pop culture Awards of America so simu hosted it so we got an Asian guy in pop culture now do you think that showu was there from Tik Tok and do you think uh Alexander Wang was there with uh kipa shipka shipka no no I don't think so anyways you guys let me know in the comments down below did you watch it how do you think simu did I think he did solid um and also do you think it does mean something that we had a Asian guy hosting the People's Choice Awards and also do you care about mainstream American culture you know we talking about Kardashians and Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swifts and stuff like that let us know what you think in the comment section below until next time we The Hop hot boys we out peace
