Video: Yoga for Black People, A Laughing Matter?
“Funny or Die” videos are paramount for comedy that pushes the envelope. Whether it’s a cursing toddler, or what, yoga for Black people? Here in a recently posted video an Asian woman displays various yoga moves with pose names that are custom made for Black people. From the Kim “Kardashian/Reggie Bush pose” and the “R. Kelly pose.” Honestly, we had a hearty laugh. But to some of you, this may not be a laughing matter.
How do you feel about this video? Funny or Not?

When You’re A White Straight Comic, Bigotry’s All About the Joke
My thoughts as well.
“Funny or die”? They need to keep their end of the bargain and kill themselves.
I think it’s hilarious…. It’s comedy.
Not hilarious, but I had a laugh or 2. The ‘white man’ joke was so stupid, wasn’t even funny.
And the pic at the end didnt help either. It kinda makes me wonder if she felt guilty for the video :-/
DUMB
Funny. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves. Loved the Kimora part.
Not eye tearingly (yes, it’s a word) funny but funny enough. Plus she’s pretty hot. What’s not to like?
Hmm…some funny parts…but mostly dull. Next….
Only somewhat funny. “Between Two Ferns” is hilarious though.
not hilarious but pretty damn funny!
Funny……Yea, that’s comedy! Being an instructor myself I OVAstand the ability to relate to diverse backgrounds (especially when it comes to YOGA) . I’ll make note to incorporate the “Jakie Chan stretch or Vera Wang lift ” in my next session!
Nameste’
I’m only laughing because it’s an Asian woman. If it were a white woman, I’m not sure I’d even chuckle.
funny, everything isn’t a racist dig, some things are JUST FUNNY! this was one of them.
What? If your playing with stereotypes then yeah it’s a racial dig. The irony is that it isn’t all that funny when the shoe is on the other foot perhaps someone should come up with a humorous cook book were the main ingredients is cat and dog. Or perhaps a a store were everything is “5.99!” We can go on and on with that till someone gets tired and decides to punch someone in the mouth.
Funny… except for the fried chicken joke! She was mainly just making herself look stupid, but it was cute.
The Kimora was funny, and the white man joke was kinda funny, bur for the most part lame punch lines
i mean but
Now that was funny as hell.
Ditto!! Some really should learn to laugh…guess me & you would be in the theater snickering hard, LOL!!
Well I definitely laughed the funniest one to me was the Tupac and then she turned her head with her eye open simulating that he faked his death….
All comedy is not for everyone…but it sure made me laugh.
honestly it couldve been funnier if she didnt go for the easy jokes…i mean i laugh while doing yoga all the time and if she wouldve intergrated the two more in words … worked on her jokes a lil more she would’ve had a comedy classic. Poor excecution…seems like she wants to b a comedianne. Work on your delivery hun!
