this was an old episode of the simpsons and Lisa said: "Though I will be innoculating babies in Kampuchea..."

lol

LMAO i remember that episode ... though this might not be the simpson, it's the same producer but in Futurama president nixon said something about going cambodian on bender .. lol ... since the program is a comedy, i'll take it as 'it was only a joke'

yeah i also remember an episode of the simpsons contained a gag in which homer tries to flush an academy award with the engraving Haing Ngor. But this was later changed to Don Ameche after Ngor recent death.

Dude that was so wikipedia lol.....


yeah i get alot of Cambodian this and Cambodian that from Hollywood...

Like one in Men In Black II.....the one nerd guy said

" Did you know you can get a lobster dinner for only a dollar in Cambodia"

Or the one in Malcom in the Middle just like yesterday...

" I wanna retire in Cambodia, I heard you can have servants for a year for just a 100 dollars"

Or the one in Jamie Foxx Show

" I wanna adopted a Cambodian Baby"

Dave Chapelle -

"GO MILK A CAMBODIAN FOR ME"

.....most of Hollywood pokes fun at the point that Cambodia is a poverty stricken nation...

I dont really laugh when they mention it...its just unwanted attention. SOme good Some Bad.

Welcome to fame and misfortune of being Cambodian/Khmer. You can love it or hate it but you cannot escape it. Just learn how to live with it.

lol....i dont even like how King of the Hill uses Laotians as racist, redneck hating, brown, folks. but some do. i dunno....everytime people ask me where are you from, i say laos and they say "oh like Khan on king of the hill?" -_-;

I have many Laos friends in Fresno, and I don't see them behaving like that. Khan is an odd name for Lao prson. I have never heard of such name before, is it Lao or not.

youre right, the Laotian family portrayed on that show is not how real Laotians act Khan and Minh(weird name for a Lao) are sometimes assholes on that show.

Khan is most likely played off another popular Lao named Kham which could also mean gold in Lao.

i think the producer of the show once had Lao neighbors and had an inspiration. but many things on that show is inaccurate and a misrepresentation of Lao people.

- Khan's voice is similar to a viet or chinese fob rather than a Lao fob.

- The episode when Bobby picked the cane and was revered to be the next Dhali LLama. Obviously that has nothing to do with Theravada Buddhism. It was a portrayal of Tibetan Buddhism.

- The "Lao" that they spoke on the show is a much of made up crap. Even the Pimai episode. I didnt get what Pimai was until i thought about it..."ohhh bpee maii...lao new year"

- Chang Wasahnasong, Bobby's bully at school, has a Lao last name but Chinese first name.

Dude,
Don't take those kind of portrayal too seriousely. It will make you age too fast. Those show biz people make things up as they go and ignorant people picked up from that and thought of it as truth. I watch that show and questioned its authenticity about how they portray laos. To counter that kind of stereotype is to make your own show when you and your friends have the know how.
Spike Lee made a lot of difference about how people viewed African-Americans and the perceptions changed now.

also the wayn brother show


the part when marlon was in a thearpy massage room when his brother shawn set him up from dating that hot looking doctor theapist.

when marlon was getting a massage he said " she thing she a refugee massage from cambodia" and marlon called her a bimbo and shawn said she's not even asian..haha..it was a white girl that was doing the massage.

Look at the kind of show King of the Hill is in the first place... is it a serious kind of show? Is what happens in it what a typical American person is like?

King of the Hill is first place??? l lol, the only cartoon I watch is Family guy.

I remember they mentioned Cambodian in Duce Bigalow 2. The Cambodian Creamsicle I think. HAHAHA

"Khan" is pronounced like "Khun" (a traditional jar where people put flower or alms) and is a very popular name in Laos, lke Khun Khum, Khun Keo, etc.

As for Khun voice that is similar to a viet or chinese voice, it's not surprising. For american audiance, all asians speak with a chinese voice.

yea if you gave him an 'authentic accent' you'd probably just confuse people.

I heard once in the comedy series Friends and that gay comedy, Greg and something?? That series mention Cambodia dozens of time. The writer must have a few Cambodian friends or something.

He might have went to Cambodia for a holiday LOL

'will and grace' too.......they said "what is the capital of Cambodia"




i thought it was icycle.....mmm

^ that's right .. that jewish guy who was suppose to marry to grace went off to cambodia for something..

Grace's husband was working as part of the 'Doctor on Border' organization. I think he ended up with a Cambodian girl. Grace came back because she had nothing to do in Cambodia. She eluted that she couldn't stand watching 'Cambodian Idol' everyday! LOL....


Late night show, like Jay Leno used to mention Cambodia many times. Jay Leno used to make fun of Hun Sen...well he just mentioned the prime minisiter of Cambodia. Some of them were kindda funny...especially when it pokes fun of Hun Sen!!

cedric the entertainer also mention: boy eat all ur food.. don't u know people in cambodia is straving....

Hey I saw that too. I think he was saying it in a 'I'm going to beat you up' like way.

Not a tv show but a video game. In the first Tekken game Angkor Wat is a stage you can play on.

Is it just a stage or there's a character representing Cambodia. I always thought that guy with the tiger head is some sort of a Cambodian martial art.

what about that movie.. The Girl Next Door where there's a cambodian exchange student...

there's also another video game that was taken place at bayon.. where he walk around shooting with his machine gun.. for what the game is call

at the end of mortal combat two, well not a game but a movie ^

oh yeah Tomb Raider =) and theres Metal Slug??

OKay, the videogame golden Sun 2 : the lost age for the Gameboy advance also had angkor wat ....

they named it ankohl ruins and it looked exactly like angkor ... the developers went all out and made the sound track of that temple sound khmer .. though i cant find a pix of the dungeion from the outside, this bayon stone head should reveal the khmer reference
