Haiyaaa. Uncle Roger just got canceled for cracking jokes that reportedly didn't sit well with the Chinese government.
The viral internet comedian, whose real name is Nigel Ng, has been banned on China's social media platforms Weibo and Bilibili after lightheartedly cracking jokes about the country's government and its leader Xi Jinping during a standup show earlier this month. In the video published on Ng's Twitter account on May 16, the British-Malaysian comedian was in his Uncle Roger character when he asked an audience member where he comes from. The man answered,"Guangzhou, China."
Ng replied by saying"good country" three times while tittering in between."We have to say that now. Correct? All the phone listening, all the phone listening. This nephew got Huwaei's phone, they all listening." "All our phones, tap into it. Long live President Xi, long live President Xi," he added, keeping the crowd laughing.
