Voice actor for animated TV shows “Archer”’ and “Bob’s Burgers”’ H. Jon Benjamin tweeted an ill-advised and, to many, tasteless joke on Saturday which many people found “racist.” The backlash quickly spread that within minutes since posting his joke, Benjamin was compelled to issue an immediate apology for the joke that made many social media users angry, instead of amused.
The contentious tweet went: “Quick idea for the name of a tea shop- ‘ooh me so horny, me love you oolong time' tea shop.”
The joke was obviously in reference to the “me so horny” line from Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket. The movie was released in 1987, and since then the “me so horny”’ line has been quoted many times and became infamously an Asian stereotype.
The backlash quickly followed. Benjamin’s message was also almost instantly Ratio’d, which is basically a Twitter phenomenon where the number of responses far outnumber the retweets.
Thank god the last season of Archer was trash and Bob's Burger lost it's charm a couple of seasons ago. It's also really entertaining to see how old Jewish propaganda, gets destroyed by new Jewish media…it's like the snake eating it's own tail.
clearly this is a hate crime and he must be crucified.
aren't you so glad you live in an era where people are this hurt by jokes?

None of his shows have been good since Home Movies, he left it all on the field back them.
Isaac Hill
American dad made this joke too. Wonder why they are not in trouble?
Wyatt Watson
What I wonder is how they get offended by a tweet when the shows they're in are worse. Well, ok, it's probably because no one is actually offended and it's just a way to promote whatever they're promoting
Because no one watches American Dad.
Jose Foster
They did back when they made the joke.
Cooper Myers
I bet it was white SJW's who did most of the bitching. Asians are pretty chill.
Adam Thompson
Did you just make a declarative statement about Asians?
That's too bad. I haven't seen it but I expected as much after the private detective and noire seasons.
Leo Thomas
It was unwatchable, the characters didn't fit at all and there was not one funny joke in the whole season. I'm just glad it ends soon.

>During an interview, a "reporter" asks H. John if Gene from Bob's Burgers is gay (he's obviously not). Recoil in disgust as he gets a simpering smile on his face and says he's not sure, but he hopes so I hope the slants eat him alive. He's a piece of shit who pushes (((The Agenda)))
Henry King
That they do.
Hudson Butler
...
Josiah Myers
How isn't it common knowledge that this is just asking for trouble?
Carson Watson
FUCKING WHITE PEEPOLE
Tyler Taylor
You mean jews

Asians just cringe, because they're racists as fuck against blacks, Mexicans, Filipinos (who are the lowest on the Asian totem pole). You can legally refuse to serve a black person in China too, and no one will lose sleep about it.
The reasons they're racist, is because for all the same reasons that everyone else is racist against them. They have a long list of well founded reasons, and some just plain old stereotypes too.
My wife is Korean, and I know her family very well.
Jacob Stewart
That was before this PC shit went full-swing, especially with Asians.
Xavier Hughes
So it wasn't even said in the show, it was a fucking tweet? How is this news? You might as well write an article about comments on a random Pornhub video.
Christian Myers
implying it was anything but shit. Back to reddit you go
Landon Diaz
and the race war continues. see what happens when you make black people build your country america? now anything that isn't white thinks it has the right to play the race card on you.
Comedy has been dead since the early 00's. The only chemo that could fix the US now is a nuclear fallout. Nuke the USA, China, and Russia just to be sure commies are struck with a fatal blow. It all must burn.
