黄西是一名毕业于美国赖斯大学 (Rice University)的生物化学博士,看起来十足的书呆子摸样。他 改行搞脱口秀 ,多次出现在 Letterman 与 Ellen show 上。YouTube 上有个2010年的视频是他给美国的头面人物表演。那时我对美国元老院的人物们还比较清楚,一看,这可都是美国民主、共和两党的大佬们啊,副总统拜登被他不断调侃,观众席上就差总统奥巴马了,其余人不时被他逗得爆笑。下面是这段视频的部分: C-SPAN Joe Wong at RTCA Dinner - YouTube.mp4 注意当黄西说到, "'What's the 2nd Amendment?' "I was like, 'Uh, the reason our convenience store gets robbed?' 拜登几乎是拍案叫好。 而他说道:"'What is Roe vs . Wade ?' I was like, 'Uh, two ways of coming to the United States?'" 几名女性观众那种表情简直就是出乎意料。 黄西冷幽默的层次有点像比较好的美国电影,具有相当的 intellect 。你需要一定层次的背景知识与一定联想能力才能回味。 黄西这种形式的脱口秀,可能只有在美国这样平均文化程度较高的国家才有市场。
