The Farewell (I) (2019)
10/10
Authentic and deeply moving
9 January 2020
Personally, the movie really exceeded my expectation. A lot of people here are saying this movie is lengthy, bland and uneventful. They say that even if you remove the main character, the plot of this movie would still be the same. Although this may be true, but in my opinion that is the point of this movie. Bili is supposed to be the passive observer that's telling the story and reflecting the deep cultural conflicts between Eastern and Western philosophy. This is supposed to be reflective of real life, and real life is not supposed to have much drama. For people expecting more plots and developments, I would say they chose the wrong movie to watch. I personally find it beautiful that everything played out just the way it did, and I am very appreciative of how real it felt.

To me, this movie was beautifully written and shot, and it is quite moving and funny at the same time. I would say some of the humor may only be understood by people familar with Asian/Chinese culture, but that's not all there is to it. There are also some long shots that may be, but that's about the only thing negative I have to say about this movie. Again, this is entirely personal, but I don't think people should be devaluing it just because of the lack of plotline. Plain and authentic experience could be art as well.

Hot Date: Double Standards (2017)
Season 1, Episode 3
10/10
A Fine Piece of Social Satire
14 March 2018
There are simply so many remarkable things about this episode. It cleverly touches on multiple aspects of the society's double standards towards gender roles in the most humorous and smart ways. I absolutely love the satirical and insightful lines throughout the whole episode, even insignificant lines are often thought-provoking.

An awesome premier!
8 November 2017
I laughed all the way from the beginning to the ending. My favorite couple is the parents, and of course Emily and Murph. It was beautifully written and hilarious. Emily and Murph are so talented! This real life couple wrote the entire show and acted as all the characters in the show. All the love and support <33

CollegeHumor Originals (2006–2023)
10/10
CollegeHumor is the Best YouTube Channel Ever
12 August 2017
I've never written any reviews for any TV shows or movies, but I have to do it for CollegeHumor. I'm just straight up addicted to their videos! I first found this channel through "If Google Was A Guy", one of their most famous video series. Then I started watching the rest of their videos, and I got addicted almost instantly! For four months I couldn't stop watching, and I've already watched every single video (including the live ones) from 2014 up until now--I'm gonna keep on exploring the older ones! CollegeHumor has become an essential part of my life now. Their videos are humorous, sometimes a little bit on the dark side (which I liked) and some can be very deep, full of social satire, while some are just fun to watch. Their videos can be both hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time, it's so wonderful. There are so much hidden messages and humorous insights everywhere. I just absolutely love their sense of humor.

Edit: I also want to address that while there are many people that constantly complain the new CH is not as funny as the old days, personally I find them different but equally hilarious and amusing. All of their casts are wonderful and talented young people. I like the artists that work for their website as well. I can't say my opinions aren't biased, but I think humor is subjective in nature. I just love all of their contents! I love CollegeHumor!
