"Helping your mother fix a computer over the phone is the worst torture."
I work in IT where most of my calls are helping 60+ people use a website and reset a password.
I take 50-60 calls a day.
It. Is. TORTURE.
dude, i answered e-mails for a living, and even THAT was more than I could take. i hope you find something else that works for you, soon!
It is a noble job. What would those people do if not for people like you?
You know what else is torture though? The helpdesk guy assumes you are a complete moron.
I once got a call of a lady that wanted to change her password and when I asked her to click on things to start she said she couldn't because she was driving. Like why the fuck call.
Its still harder with family. U cant lose ur cool with family and you actually care if they succeed
The way he gets madder by the second is such a familiar feeling 😩😅
ya u mean Bill Bur right?
Bill burr yeah haha
And then when he says "Thanks for listening" at the end it feels more like he just finished a therapy session.
yndianna
Here here
that is what you call a "delivery" ladies and gentlemen
I once took an entire hour trying to get my mom to log into her gmail. The computer even already had her details remembered. All she had to do was click the damn log in button BUT IT WAS APPARENTLY ROCKET SCIENCE TO HER.
When my frustration started showing in my tone of voice, she hit me with a classic Asian mom guilt trip comment. "you know, I patiently taught you how to use spoons when you were a toddler yet you cant be patient with me now"
Tell her it didn't take you half a decade to learn spoons...
Honestly wait til your old and see how your kids teach you
I feel your pain. I spent like 4 hours helping my mother with her email log in because she needed to log in, in order for the representative at the phone store to access her account. She never uses her email so she would never really remember her password (her friend helped her set up an email a long time ago) and so eventually I had to do all the dirty work to get access to her email.
@@TimidAction Jokes’ on you, I’m already old! And when my kid showed me a feature on CZcams I got it right away. The trick is to not be a belligerent know-it-all stuck in a timezone that’s half a century behind...
@@TimidAction not really, we grew up with technology so we can understand it, technology won't just jump generations and software to the point that we don't understand it, it develops from what we already have so we'll learn the new software regardless, our parents and older generations don't understand it because these concepts are actual new concepts that came up to the world in less than a decade, so no, we won't go through what they went through, because luckily we were raised into technology
"No mom, this isn't fixing the problem. This isn't even step 1"
Omg, lmfao.
As a tech-support, I can feel his struggle and frustration of passing instructions over the phone.
I also used to work in tech support helping our techs nationwide solve their own technical problems (software, electrical, electro-mechanical). My only focus: solve the problem.
@@Yrr666 Well, Carl, I think that's in your job description.
You know this shit actually happened, look how furious this dude still is 😂
Not only is Ronny's comedic material outstanding but his accompanying facial expressions are priceless! The kid has got all the goods to be a world class comedian! All his clips on CZcams are over the top enjoyable!
All IT pros are simultaneously laughing and shaking their head.
Actually I'm shaking my fist!
Just tears 😭
IT pros install remote management software. Now the folks are paranoid to even turn the computer on because "someone might see". Mission accomplished.
Only tears
@CZcams American Lies I smell a tech savage lol. If you don't depend on google for your job these days then you don't do anything important lol.
Haha, "I enjoy drinking soup with two sticks".
haha
me too.
Not hard if one is a straw.
Avi Chetri as a Chinese I can’t tell you how many times I ate soup with chopsticks hahaha
😂
"and she wasn't even in front of the computer" lol
Hahaha
You just described the last 3 hours of my life trying to get my parents set up to use Zoom
Said the guy with his real name as his username.
fuck I’m so triggered
@trial you are a disgusting human being
Why not use Skype, it's easier.
Same
he seemed pissed when he walked off like it was a legit rant lmao
The best comedic stories do have an element of elevated or exaggerated truth to them.
But the best way to relate them to an audience is to channel the emotions a person would experience.
Everyone can understand frustration, and storytelling is an over the top form of conveying a situation to elicit a response.
Comedy desires humor, fairy tales teach morals, and parables teach a bit of both.
I feel like most people have had this experience at least once. And if they haven't they're probably the mom in Ronny's story.
Jokes on you. She just wanted to get you to come home.
That's actually kind of sweet 🙂
@@waterbender9939 Yeah, lovely!
hahahah nice one
The real tech support was the moms we made along the way.
I work in customer service so this is a pain i have to endure 8hrs a day
Me too😂
Lotta mercy. I too work in the 8th ring of hell that is customer service.
Get over yourself you are helping people in need it's a noble job.
You get paid to do it so just do it and quit bitchin'. Or get a different job.
i send you some positive vibes. stay strong. i can't imagine the psychological pain of working in customer service.
Me: Doing nothing
Text from my Dad: I just won everyone a new X-Box
Me: WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DID YOU OPEN ONE OF THOSE EMAILS I TOLD YOU NOT TOO, CANCEL ALL YOUR CREDIT CARDS. RIGHT. NOW!
Soooo relatable!!!
I see so many of these stupid scams, but each time I have that 6-year old me that wants to click it to see if maybe this time it's for real. (I never do, but I never shake the inner thought.)
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha omg this is so real
Just went through this with my dear aunt.
Aunt: kid. I won a PCH sweepstake.
Me:... no, you didn't. Don't send your $$ or personal info.
Aunt: ....
Pretty sure she dislikes me a bit now.
“Nah nah, son. You don’t get it. They just wanted me to give my social security number so they could find all the addresses associated under my name so they could send the new xbox 2 to everyone. We live in such a futuristic time!”
As a someone born into a Trinidadian family that came to America, I can totally relate to that technical support joke 😂
This is way too relatable. My every attempt to teach my father how to do something on the computer ended with him saying, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen," and me walking away in disgust.
Mine: “I don’t know how to do that”; “I don’t know what that means” -I feel like we’ve instantly become friends
I remember my Mum bought a new car and wanted to know what all her buttons etc were for. So I sat her down and patiently demonstrated each switch/button whilst explaining its function, after each individual button I’d ask her if she understood which she confirmed she did. It took almost 30 minutes of slow and simple worded explanations which i ran through at least twice before on to the next. Once I finally completed the entire interior, I took a deep breath and asked her if she remembered everything. She replied promptly, “not a thing.” That was the last time, everytime she gets new tech and looks at me I immediately bolt...
Disclaimer: Don’t pay attention to this comment. I’m using it to teach my mom how to delete comments on CZcams.
Jesus Gaud wholesome
Hope she got it now.😇
Jesus Gaud under-rated comment
I see she still hasn't learned.
@@shawnpitman876 its a slow process
LMAO my boy got legit pissed during his set
jose fermin bro i got pissed vicariously just sitting here watching
Someone needs to animate this
I can relate to this, it is excruciating to explain tech problems to your parents
I can imagine the mom’s dialog part even when he didn’t say it 😂😂😂
I’m a simple man. I see Ronny Chieng, I click, I like.
Yxng Smitty but then u commented
I applaud the infinite patience he showed his mom. I don’t think I could be as nice as him about it.
This is painfully accurate lol
I like to believe i stole at least a few million dollars from Hollywood... i can already imagine celebrities going to the soup canteen in their ferrari's because of me. Yes, i'm a monster. And a pirate arrrr.
My mother in law is basically the new age Blackbeard
Movie tickets are 10 bucks a pop. Highly doubtful you've downloaded enough content to equal "millions" of dollars.
@@ThatKidBryan Mate, you don't know him, maybe he's trying to get the entire Pirate Bay on his hard drive.
@@williamsmith4563
😹😹😹
@@ThatKidBryan 😂😂
Some of the most relatable comedy I’ve heard in a while. Well done.
This is so true because sometimes I have to call my son to help me and he get frustrated and then says forget it I’ll just come over lol.
And are you using your real name?
@@ImEmpTy295 probably 😂😂
@@ImEmpTy295 💀
Explaining to my mum how to switch on a tablet is so hard, I ended up taking a flight back and showed her how to do it.
HAHAHAHA OMFG THIS GUY IS EPIC EVERY SINGLE TIME
CONSISTENTLY
"she wasnt even there in front of her computer"
5:30 when comedy segways into real feelings.
That was really clean but hilarious
I felt the entire convo with his Mom only my it's my Dad. Sigh.
Funniest stand up I've seen in a while. Talented.
I'm Asian and in IT... I feel you man..
He's pure rage by the end of the video, I love it!
So good! Love his expressions!!
As I’m watching this my mom calls me to help figure out how to unsilence her phone from 1000 miles away.
Oh God, I really hope the find a cure for COVID-19 before my mom has another computer problem.
Love it haha thanks for helping start the morning with laughter.
We invented chopsticks because forks are too easy😂
I absolutely LOVE his OUTRAGE 🤣🤣. He's the best at it 😂
"This isn't even step one..." 😂
hahaha...This is just too real!! Everytime I go back to China. I make sure to spent 1hr per day to sit down with my mom for tech tutorials to avoid ever doing this over the phone again! Also so important to show them how to share their screen!!! She can even edit videos and photos now! So proud of her but the process was painful.
It’s very rewarding on the long term indeed. I also see these kind of results, and they are really the most knowledgeable among their friends so they pass on some of those learnings to them.
My mom was like this but has figured out a way to minimize my (and her) frustration… She‘ll have me come over to show her how to do something and then take super detailed notes in her little notebook while I’m showing her. Like she’s writing her own instruction manual from scratch lol. It’s pretty cute.
My father was a literally a rocket scientist, and he still couldn't send a text message to save his own life.
I can't tell you how many ITAR violations he must have"woopsied" just teaching classes abroad.
I literally have to draw pictures for my mom to explain how to open tabs on the computer.
literally true story of mine..... numerous time...
I love his style , hahahaha very funny
I do the same thing as his mom LMAOOO an internet vigilante 😂
I’m flying over, right now! HAHAHAHA!!!
The best yet
Ronny is hilarious!!! but the joke reminds me about being a customer service when I helped many senior people resetting their passwords. I have to say nowadays many of them are really good at using technologies. they can and are willing to keep up with the trends
Paper is without a doubt one of the most important inventions in Human's history because we can document stuff, publish books (which provides knowledge) and of course paper currency. It was an invention that revolutionized human race like how digital devices are right now.
stone tablets existed
It's painful how this doesn't only happen with my parents. Some of my "not so friendly with technology" do this too
Arguing with parents is an aneurysm waiting to explode. Run Ronnie run...
Literally felt the rage building up inside me - then had some outer body, Nam-style ptsd flashback as he spoke about this!
This guy is HILARIOUS!!
Aww I love my mother lol gonna go and hug her now. ♥️
I love this guy so much 😂
Hey, that was soo funny , great job!!
my favorite comedian today
Oh my god...explaining how to fix an I T Problem to my Mom...me too 😂 had to hang up on her “no, no I don’t see that”...
Oh God. This is reminding me of my dad every time he has a computer question.
Step 2 was flying back to his mother.......lololol.😂
One of my favorite bits
I love this
I enjoy drinking soup with two sticks....lol!!! Ronny is just insanely funny!!!
I just discovered this man a few weeks ago been looking for a good comedian, the trinity (Bruce, Carlin, Pryor) answered my prayers!
Holy God the latter bit gave me idiotic levels of flashbacks to me on wechat video trying to set up my mom's new english remote learning classroom. The experience is 90% blind frustration/anger and 10% deliriously thinking that this is exactly like that scene with Patrick and putting the lid on a pickle jar
This was the best
Ronny is such a great comedian!
probably his best bit, love this guy, feels a bit like the chinese copy of bill burr
also his netflix special is really good
I also thought of Bill Burr- the way they both say 'right?' kills me :))
Tip: Set up remote desktop for your parents. It solves so many things. Just be prepared to learn what kind of porn they're in to though...
sounds like personal experience lmao
Step1. Teach your parents how to use Remote Desktop on 3rd part applications.
Step2. If it is for windows and behind firewall, add port forwarding on router
Step3. If you don’t have public ip from ISP, go to step1.
And this is the benefit of having hacker parents.
A great solution.
@@yurig014 are you ok?
Love this guy
I’m cry laughing omg!!!!! 🤣
great bit
I love this guy he’s always so funny!
" I enjoy drinking soup with two sticks !"
It's true, it's hilariously true
Haha
Dude that was hilarious. Keep it up
Had the same problem but that was 20 years ago. Double click, right click, etc etc.. all perfectly obvious if you've done them before or someone shows you.
This is great 😂
This guy's great! One of the best comedians ever!!
So good!
Explaining computer problem to our parents is always challenging lol
Ronny materials is actually really good. People find it hard to connect with his delivery because he looks/gets angrier as he presents the jokes.
The Don Rickles style of comedy (as the anger intensifies)🤣
This + trying to explain to my mom who speaks fluent Korean, broken English by me who speaks fluent English, broken Korean. Computer illiteracy + language barrier over the phone = just fricken shoot me in the face.
I laughed so hard
Actually it was the Egyptians with the paper but i may be wrong lololol
I love ronny
Immediately fwd this to my mom
So this is the original facetime with my mom 😂.
"You just had to do something rather than nothing" 😂😂
Ronny Chieng is awesome. I like his angry humor 😂
Lmao! Love this guy!
I'm thinking Moms know how to get their kids home for a visit : ) Funny! Thanks for this!
That was my first thought....lol
I'm a pre-boomer and build my own PC's and have run into so-called professional help desks that cannot and do not fix their own faulty software or organizational issues. Worked on computer sub systems 50+ years ago when they were part tube/transistor and troubleshot with oscilloscopes. So, 1. don't lump all seniors into one group and 2. simply do the job you get paid to do and help those who don't have your skills. Thank you.
this is the best thing ive every seen
