[Bit 1]

2016 was bad, but 1994 was a lot worse.

That was the year when Congress passed what is called the Margaret Cho Law,

which requires that all Asian comics do an impression of their parents.

I still haven't done an impression of my parents yet.

I still need a lot more practice following black people around liquor stores.

My parents don't work at a liquor store.

They're just very rude.

[Bit 2]

I shouldn't call my dad rude.

Abusive is a better word.

I haven't talked to him in years, but when he dies,

my family still wants me to help pay for his cremation.

Honestly, I would rather cremate him myself to save money,

but it's illegal to burn garbage.
