Iranian of the Day

REA

I meant that as in making fun of ourselves. Who cares if others are doing it? why should we do it, when we can just make fun of others! 

 The legend of Persian penis is not a myth, it is a fact, I promise you this.

Making fun on MISTRANLATIONS!

Making fun on MISTRANSLATIONS. I like how all this entertainment industry works. Just like that Oliver Stone's Kennedy movie where at the end Clay Shaw was arrested!

statria

I did not use that term. I was simply explaining Commrade's earlier comment in which he used the term inferiority complex.

However, I must say this way of talking about "lowered status in the world"is in fact an inferiority complex in itself. Who is this world that our status is dropping before? And why? Is the status of Iranians judged solely based on an idiotic remark by a politician? 'Cause then I could bring you thousands of examples from politicians around the world who've said stupid things. 

حالا مسخره کردن خودمون

برای آمریکاییها و کلاً انگلیسی زبون ها داره برنامه اجرا میکنه. اگه یه خورده بی مزه به نظر میاد به خاطر اینه که در جمع دوستان، فامیل، محافل خصوصی، بساط عیش و نوش و در کوچه و بازار خودمن خیلی بهتر از این بابا خودمونو مسخره می کنیم و بهتر می خندیم. حالا اگه خوشتون نیومد ببخشین بزارین این بابا یه کاسبی داشته باشه و کانالتون رو عوض کنید.

مسخره بازی

اولاً مخاطب این آقا جماعت ایرانی نیستن و آمریکاییها و کلاً انگلیس زبان هاهستن. اگه اونا خوششون میاد به من و شما ربطی نداره. اگه یک کم بی مزه به نظر میاد به خاطر اینه که خودمن در جمع دوستان و محافل خصوصی و یا در جمع مردم کوچه بازار خیلی بهتر امثال احمدی نژاد و گنده تر از اون رو مسخره می کنیم و خنده خورِش خیلی بیشتر از جوکهای این باباست.

اینقدر هم برای یه برنامه کمدی فلسفه نبافین

Dear Khar

Am reading your lips. ;o)

Oh, you, magarac, my beloved Dalmatian animal.

Oz

Ahmaghinejad and slumic regime already lowered our status and respect in the world. It can not go lower than that. I'm not sure what you mean of inferiority complex?

Dear Rea

You Wrote: "As for the oversized penises, they are just a legend, anyway"

I beg the differ aziz ;o))

Good point, dear Parthianshot

Nobody cares about anybody any more.  So, why would anybody care about Persians?

As for the oversized penises, they are just a legend, anyway. Gone with the wind.

Here is what Iran really needs

Omi Jalali as Supreme Leader and Maz for President

Maz is an American Comedian

Maz is an American comedian in the tradition of all great comedians. If anybody gets a chance, see Jackie Mason comedy on Jews or Danny Thomas on Italian and Jews though he was a Lebanese Arab. All comedians use the context of certain culture for delivery but the content is universal. Today above all days let us all be thankful to live in a country that we can celebrate our diversity with malice towards none.

 “I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.

”“It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like.

”“By these things examine thyself. By whose rules am I acting; in whose name; in whose strength; in whose glory? What faith, humility, self-denial, and love of God and to man have there been in all my actions?”

Jackie Mason

Who cares what others do?

If they smoke crack or jumped off a cliff, would you do the same? Making fun of themselves led the Americans to the crap they're in now.

Atleast if you're gonna do a stand up about Persians focus on the positives, like how we have oversized penises or something.

George Carlin - on Religion ;o)

Kazem Jaan, here's Carlin take on Religion, he calls it bullshit. I guess you can say Carlin was an Equal Opportunity Offender Comedian ;o))

Rest in peace George aziz...

Khar, sorry to hear it

But there are other American comics who's names I don't know but have seen them totally knock everything American.

carlin

George Carlin on the other hand is a great example of Fesenjoon.

JJ

Nothing's wrong with laughing at anything in my opinion.  Self-
examination, both individual and societal, that highlights our inner conflicts and struggles is admirable, particularly in the hands of a
great comedian, a true artist. But please lets not give credit where
it's not due. What Maz does here is far from a master who has a thorough understanding of his culture and revealing humorous ironies. He says a few
things that people want to hear, then does a great 'gay' at the end and gets a few
laugh. This is popcorn. There's nothing wrong with popcorn,
but lets not make it sound like Fesenjoon, please. Maz is Maz, and I love him.

Kazem0574,

You mean he was, George Carlin has passed away he died last year.

Sexy, ufff !

Have always liked them bald. ;o)

George Carlin, (American comic) is he suffering from it too?

Making us human

oz, i wasn't replying directly to you or anybody else, rather i'm reacting to the general idea that somehow Iranian comedians should not make fun of Iran or anything Iranian. it's absurd. ALL comedians make fun of their own people, culture and their self. Forget comedians even. Social commentators would not be worth listening to if they don't point out weaknesses in their own society.

For the source of the negative perception of Iran and Iranians, you need to blame the Islamic Republic's crimes. You need to blame homophobia. You need to blame Holocaust deniers. You need to blame Islamophobia! Not Maz Jobrani! He's doing us all a favor by making us human.

To make it simple, Comrade means self-hating

Like as in they have to bash their own people and country to make the audience laugh. His acts are alright, usually, but I don't like some of his acts, especially where he just begins to make fun of his own, like for example, have you seen the vid about the Iranian 2010 census and the stereotypes behind em? It makes us look lame and our people as koskhols, and that kind of crap is what's leading many of our youth and people in our communities to viewing our Iranian/Persian culture as a joke.

You realize I was

You realize I was explainging what comrade wrote for Ali P., not expressing myself.

sooooo sensitive

can't even take a joke... which comedian doesn't make fun of his own people and culture? if you don't make fun of your own stupid habits, you have no right to laugh at others.

inferiority complex

Inferiority complex is a cultural desease that most developing nations suffer from when comparing themeselves with the developed western societies. They feel inferior to the standards set by these western societies.  Commrade means highlighting your shortcomings, which all have cultural and historical reasons, is a self depricating process by which we are self defined losers.

Inferiority Complex ??

Iranian comedians

Those  I have seen including Maz but particularly Omid Jalili tend to utilise their culture’s peculiarities and the politics of the day to get laughs. 

My friend hates it even when they refer to us as Middle-Eastern. 

It’s a business and they have to do whatever they can to keep their share of the market.

In this clip Maz  mainly makes fun of Ahmadi, but can you blame him or anyone else for that  ;-)

He's so

funny!

Maz in Sacramento this Feb!

Catch him if he's not sold out yet!
