I can’t believe they asked why he loves MSG. Hi Uncle Roger. Love you 😘
Hi Papa
Uncle papa
Hi Papa!
We love both. Fuiyoh
Josh!
Uncle Roger is such a good actor, he played that Nigel character so flawlessly
🤣🤣🤣
Yea, even the accent was spot on!
lmaooo
I'm calling it somewhere in these replies someone's gonna get r/woooshed
It's the other way round. Uncle Roger is the character. Nigel is the real person
I love how they bleeped out all of the swearing except when he said Jamie Olive Oil f*cked up Asian food.
soooo deserved haha
+
They probably missed it but still hilarious.
He also said uncle Ben instant microwave rice bullsh*t without being censored lol
And Geoffrey Zakarian f*cking up Adobo (3:50)
It feels like Uncle Roger is the real person and Nigel is just his character. 🤣
That's exactly what it is
Omg thats how I feel 🤣 kinda bummed to know the reality is its the other way around 😔

Uncle Roger is such a great actor, he’s playing Nigel Ng so well
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
🤣
Thanks for having me!
Hi Uncle Roger! Great interview 👍
Can you speak mandarin in your next video 🙏😄
It’s the man himself, Hi uncle
You're welcome.
Uncle! You just made malaysian proud🎉
I can't help but feel like Uncle Roger is real and Nigel is the character 😂
yeah, he's becoming that Rowan Atkinson/Mr Bean confusion
Uncle Roger is for aunties and Nigel Ng is for ladies
Uncle Roger feels like his intrusive thoughts winning 😂
@@emhgarlyyeung wooahhhh
Fr tho
You can tell Nigel's holding back the Uncle Roger in him when he says certain words or phrases.
I heard it when he said egg fried rice 😂
thats just his accent...
You mean your left hand holding back your right? 😂
Nigel’s acting is so good that I genuinely feel like uncle Roger and Nigel are two different people
Watch bb ki vines
I love how they interviewed both versions of Uncle Roger 😂
Yeah❤️
There is only one uncle Roger, the other one is nephew Nigel👍
@@39zack exactly 🤣🤣🤣
😂
They are two different people
When you see his real personality you see what a great actor he is...But also you see how cool and down to earth he is...
Its crazy hearing him talk normally for more than a min or two. Really makes the character that much more funny
The way Nigel is so good at being in character that I forget that they are the same person
Is like 2 souled people
They aren't the same
@@hbups1123 they are.
@@10000weepingchoirs what r u on? Clearly they are not.
@@hbups1123 Nigel Ng plays Uncle Roger he literally said it in the video
I love how offended Uncle Roger was about the parsley in Adobo😂😂 He literally lost his accent while talking about that
Hahahahahahahaa
He also lost his accent in the How To Basic 😆😆
Hahaha 😂
Uncle Roger so good at acting. He played Nigel Ng so well.
I already laughed when he say..
“I cook food and talk sh!t”😂😂
You know you've made it when you're asked to come on auto complete
I think you’ve made it when the Chinese government starts forcing you to deny the Tiananmen Square protests in order to stay relevant.
Sort of. This series is now so popular that TV and Movie stars promoting things doesn't happen frequently enough to keep the ball rolling. So now they interview CZcamss as well.
Contrary to what the legacy media would have you believe, CZcamsrs are the bigger stars.
Haha so true
Nah, gotta make it to Hot Ones first
As fellow Malaysian , " remember the two planes that went missing " joke is self destruct 100 lmao
370 and 117. Still don't know what happen
@@amirhaikal6672 iirc 117 got shot down when they flew over ukraine. they mistook the plane for an enemy fighter jet.
@@denorod1 how can they mistook a passenger plane for fighter jet? Fighter jets are not just smaller they're faster too. I found that hard to believe
@@amirhaikal6672 malaysia airlines mh117 boeing 777, the design looks similiar with russian flag so the Ukrainian got confused and shot it down
@@fleamy_1925 That is factually wrong the RUSSIANS are the ones who shot it down.
1:45 all the thirsty aunties gonna start calling me. 💀
He lowkey very honest about his personal life, love it
It's crazy to see how much this guy blew up. I started watching his videos when he had 100k subscribers. Now he's doing Wired interviews like an A list celebrity.
Me when 1 million when BBC react blew up haha
He is an A lister
Same it’s madness
@bearded bros lmao i love u cle roger but he's a c list celebrity. He's not a household name.
You sound jealous, is it 🤔?😅
You know you've been stuck on Uncle Roger when you already know the answers to all his questions 🤣🤣🤣🤣
except for his favorite chef though. I guess Gordon was the first good chef that popped into his mind:D
@@imsoconfused7684 i expected esther
@@Eglateus I expected Chef Wang Gang
@@th3R0b0t yea those are his top 3 i guess
😂
The way both Uncle Roger & Nigel Ng threw the cards screamed 'hiyaaa' 🤣. I knew the answer to most before you even answered lol! You brought me lots of laughter in the pandemic. Keep going strong 😆
4:21 wayt ...wait whattt...i thought uncle roger is a real personality but ... He's Just a character 😭...i feel betrayed
Honestly, Nigel and Uncle Roger feel like 2 different people, something about Uncle Roger just makes him feel older, it's one of the mysteries that I need to watch more Nigel to tell exactly what's the difference
Yeah
Its the Uncle's complaining and slight creepiness I think, where Nigel is kinda jolly and friendly.
Also, the polo shirt with the collar button-up.
One is his normal self, one is his character, it's acting! People do it in movies too!
@@WoockerSocket2 exactly one Is Uncle Roger and the other is just a character.
Nigel Ng is my favourite of Uncle Roger's characters, so convincing.
Also, kudos to whoever chose not to edit out those silences both times he talks about breaking up with his British ex. Not a second too long or short, like a perfectly boiled egg, fuiyoh.
His ex was actually German I believe...
Haha yes those silent pauses in-between really added the needed depth for some laughs filled with schadenfreude.
fuiyoh
was he actually married?
@@marvelgeek147yea
Those pauses in between the wife talk are gold 🥇 😂
I like the duality of uncle roger being more extroverted and nigel being slightly more reserved
This man just created such a great character nice Nigel Ng 👌
Wumao SIMP
@@secretbassrigs naah bro wtf I'm not even chinese
@@atharvapatil6003 I'm Chinese. But with freedom of information and lots of food. Obviously not in China.
@@secretbassrigs I didn't get that but definitely my account is not a bot account
FYI
As someone who has been to a Nigel Ng/Uncle Roger standup comedy show I can confirm he's really good live. Probably one of the best standups I've ever attended and I'm not just saying it cause it's what the video is for. Seriously if he performs in your city it's definitely worth it in my opinion
His world tour ticket is not that easy to get now😂
Agreed I went to his show in Miami
I went to the one in Austin, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It was a great show, I got acknowledged by him twice during the show :))
I had tickets in Sydney earlier this year but got Covid so had to miss. Wife also had covid and was severely disappointed.
It looks like Nigel Ng/Uncle Roger posts under the name "deadlaser3". 🤫
3:23 In Psychology, Orange 🧡 color has something to do with boosting appetite ... orange plates orange chairs, in fastfoods you name it. Uncle Roger wears it so that he will be appetizing to watch and he reviews food prep, channels and so on. This checks out. 😅
2:15 he got a point 🤝🤝🤝
Just discovered this dude, but props to him for embracing his accent and taking the light misunderstandings in stride. Accents are like back stories.
It’s funny how some asian-americans find it offensive but we asians in Asia don’t.
@@wolger fr💀
@@wolger he's just validating (to Western countries) that being racist to Asian is ok, in a way that he's faking the accent
@@solotrippin09 what crap you’re talking about. This is how Malaysians/Singaporeans speak and we are proud of this.
czcams.com/video/e7Thg2DRx9w/video.html this is how we speak!
I love how Uncle Roger’s alter ego is a stand up comedian
Yay I make your comment 1k
Bro Never fails to roast Jamie Oliver even in a non cooking show 😂😂
Honestly one of the very few influencers who performs a great character but also is just a really chill guy under the persona.
Even though I looked at his face, I still felt that Nigel Ng and Uncle Roger were 2 different people
It’s amazing what an unflattering polo shirt can do
Same 🤣
For a while I was wondering why he was always pimping this nephew Nigel guy...
“Uncle Roger was a data scientist” ~~~ very motivating for a data scientist like myself. Maybe this comedy will be my next gig
But probably not hiya
@@dariuschong4574lol 😂
I didn't knew he was one. I thought people confused him with Andrew Ng and he's going to say that he's not Andrew.
If you're funny sure give it a shot I'll subscribe to u rn
What uncle are you gonna be?
1:03 ah yes my favorite ingredient…
Fried
You really are a chameleon Nigel! Your accent, expressions, clothes, posture...everything changes when u shed your Uncle personality👍🏾
Uncle Roger: “My favourite chef is Gordon Ramsay.”
Nick DiGiovanni: *cries in silence*
?
sad auntie esther noises
auntie esther is too stunned by the betrayal XD
Auntie Esther : peace was never an option 🔪
Lmao, just a typical Malaysian that can speak English well. It’s a mish-mash of accents because british english is the standard english we learn in schools, american english due to entertainment-related exposure, and at times the manglish accent because of parents/ older generations’/ local tongue influence. Can relate to him though how some people find the accent confusing, because it may be strange in other western countries but it’s normal in Malaysia lol
isn’t it weird when he’s malaysian but never speaks one🗿
@@AlamJR Sorry, I am admittingly behind with emoji internet slang. What does the stone head mean?
@@sorewasore9730 just awkward feeling
@@AlamJR nah its not weird, maybe hes chinese?
@@herobrineroblox he said himself his nation is malaysia 🗿. also, here we at malaysia has pretty much two types sinkhs and somehow malaysian chineses. many came with unique names like dato lee, mamak, etc. the thing is, they’re already here since malaysia was once called: tanah melayu or in english its called: the land of malays
6:26
why'd i crack up at that part
A short silence. 7:58 💔
I didn’t know Nigel was popular enough for a Wired interview. Pretty cool to see Uncle Roger here.
He had a sold out comedy tour and his channel is nearly 7M subscriber
He did appear in Singapore Masterchef.
@@chaimalekkam4233 so weak hiya
@@psychojoe4764 haiiiyaaaaa🤣🤣🤣
@@flipsideroot also indonesia, so hyped for it lmao
7:18 just a tesla
0:26 💀💀
He is so funny. Uncle Roger makes my day so much better
I used to get annoyed by people asking if I knew other Malaysian people, but we went to Malaysia recently and she mentioned him to my uncle and he goes "oh yeah Nigel Ng that's my friend's cousin" and we were like ??????
😂😂😂
As a Malaysian, his video is actually on point on the cooking comments! And really proud to see him became this big! :D
Same
Nope! He no longer said "lah" at the end of sentences, he is no longer malaysian
🤮🤮🤮
@@billiondime the hec-
Why u use the disgusted emoji-?
@@billiondime Probably cause malaysian food doesn't taste like their boiled chicken and peas
Nigel is actor material 👌💯
Just love you brother. Thank you so much for al the superb content. And thanks Wires for hosting this awesome person🎉
5:15 he looks so charming when he smiles/laughs🙈
I didn't expect this but his Chinese is actually pretty decent🤣
Chinese is his first language. He was educated at a prestigious Chinese high school.
Malaysians can speak putonghua
You sure. I don't know I some how to able to speak chinese when I can speak a full sentence
He is of Hokkien (Minnan) descent but speak Cantonese like any other KL folks. And of course he speaks Malay and English too like any other Malaysians..
He said that WIRED didn't pay him, if I heard it correctly
Dude Uncle Roger and Nigel feel so separate. They feel like their own individual people.
Nigel is an interesting character, Uncle Roger played him well.
He is a great actor. You can imagine they are two completely different persons
Thats no actor, that going to be him in the next decade.
Yeah, Uncle Roger does such a good job at playing Nigel!
7:52 so Auntie Helen is a character based on reality 😂
He is so hilarious I can't wait to see him on stage
3:42
Just as he said, he did 💀
6:38 respect for WIRED to actually translating this lol
2:25 *“just go eat at ramen shop”*
Bruh 💀 this man is amazing.
He plays the character of Uncle Roger so well that I thought he was actually like 40, so I was shocked when I learned that he's actually younger than I am. 😂
I love Malaysian’s english accent. Sounds so so so good❤
"Cannot give you my phone number, everybody gonna start calling me, the thirsty auntie"😂. I'm proud of you uncle roger. Malaysia boleh🇲🇾🇲🇾😆
Roger may be a character but every Asian in Asia has a real uncle roger in their lives.
That'd be me... I'll be the one to judge someone's butchered Asian cooking. And I live in Asia. I should be in the clear, but apparently I'm not.
@@MonkeBrain07 haha yes I live in Asia as well. always thankful for cruel uncle evaluation of my life goals 🤣
I love this dude's brutal honesty 🙂
Such a down to earth guy and so funny, love him
I know I’m late to the party but I just discovered Nigel maybe a month ago and I’ve been binge watching all his stuff since. Dude is a great comedian and his uncle Roger character is flawless.
you should see it when i do the uncle roger character ...im soooooo good at it and its harder for me because im white.
Same here
6:47 you can hear the emotional damage
this was refreshingly honest and funny!
0:13 the subtitles didn't identify the [indistinct] word that is "weejio".
He automatically ages when his accents changes its so fun to watch😂 this is not badly intended
I feel better knowing that I'm not the only person to mention the 2 missing planes when people don't know Malaysia. 😅
Sheesh it is been awhile since someone mentioned of the incident
People will always remember that 😌
To be more correct it is 1 missing and 1 being shot down by missile.
Where is the Triangle ?
*X files background music*
Haha it's better than being forgotten because Thailand and even the small country like Singapore get more recognized by the world...🤣🤣🤣
I loved the two plains joke, so savage! I just knew Nigel for the bloopers at the end of each video, but after watching this, I falled in love with him too 💖
UK ladies, you're so wrong not picking him up! I mean, get a man who can do both 🤩
“他們叫我來這邊沒給我錢”😂😂😂
This is what the markiplier's real WIRED Autocomplete interview would be if there're just so many interviews for his alter-egos and combined them into one.
I like how they interviewed both Uncle Roger and Nephew Nigel.
You wanna tell me both aren’t real?
Loved this!!
Uncle Roger the legend we needed. 🙏🏻
3:36 WIRED didn't want to mess up with Uncle Roger 💀
Love how uncle Roger appears on Wired to complain about Egg fried rice & Jamie Oliver even more
I love this man. He must be protected by every body every possible in the world.
I love how he acknowledged gordon ramsey. Totally funny and humble guy
as a malaysian, im super proud of what he have achieved 🎉
You mean what he has achieved, you have nothing to do with it 😂😂😂
@@vaibhavkrupakar240 👌
@@vaibhavkrupakar240 you don't have to know or help somebody for you to be proud of them, mr. english guru
Fuiyoooh!
Yeah me too! Its nice to see my fellow malaysian became an international youtuber
Straight up "for a woman, and we're not together anymore".
We can all hate Auntie Helen, but without her, we probably would not have Uncle Roger :D
Wow, all this time I thought auntie Helen was something he made up for the videos. Didn’t stop to think she was based on a real ex-spouse 😮
that was the most surprising part of the interview for me. didn't know nigel moved to the uk for a spouse and now are no longer together.
HE IS SO ATTRACTIVE
This guy is so talented
I am embarrassed by how sure I was it wasn’t a character 😂☠️
plot twist: Uncle Roger is the real person, Nigel is the character ;)
I'm right there with ya. I actually argued with hubby that it was 2 people! HIYA!
This is a proof of how good he is at doing his job
@@johannesziaether3916 absolutely 💯
*Casually says he's responsible for two planes that one went missing and one got destroyed without thinking about the victim's family.* I can't hold my laugh, also love he's always stay in character
2:40 hehe seems like he always know what we have done
Loved this
“You stab your toe? Hiyaaa… 🗿” 1:13
For real, you're incredible. You're so down to earth and humble PLUS your comedy is brilliant. You never miss a beat. Mad respect.
LOL you must have never seen his podcast. He's neither down to earth nor humble, but he IS very funny.
With the beginning is how he really sounds 0.0 both amazing 💜💜
The duality is deadly insane💀
7:23 THAT PAUSE- I was waiting for the rest of the question and I think it took him a few seconds too xD
Auntie esther gonna be real sad 3:15
No fu ck u report me
This. This is what you call good quality content.
2:53 I have a rice 🍚 cooker and a 20 lb bag of rice 😅. A lot of it is sitting in a hapa jar (apparently it’s a Hawaiian thing?). It’s all my fiancé’s. 😂
