Miss China Nails Sound Effects Portion of Miss Universe Pageant
I know the Miss Universe Pageant was some weeks ago, but have any of us really stopped thinking about it? And by “stopped thinking about it,” I mean of course “ever thought about it.” Well prepare to think about it. Hard. This is Miss China (Tang Wen) answering some questions for the Miss Universe pageant in a pre-taped interview segment. Before we get into it, I realize that Miss China’s first language is not English. I would sound like a fool, A FOOL, trying to speak Chinese. My sister-in-law once tried to teach me the four tones of Chinese and I couldn’t do that. Tones. So, despite the fact that I hate myself for thinking her answers are funny, I can say without shame that the sound effects portion is hilarious. Because language knows no barrier when it comes to sound effects. Maybe in your French book in elementary school when the duck said “coin coin,” that was sort of a funny language barrier sound effect*. Because ducks don’t say that. They f*cking say quack. OMG look what I just found: A chart for duck sounds in different languages! Bless you, Internet. But I digress. Here is Miss China: A regular Foley artist that one. Gosh, whoever wrote the questions for these interviews really knew what they were doing. Set the girls up with the softballs and then know that comedy gold will spring from the sound effects portion. What an a-hole. Because if you choose to peruse the rest of the videos of the various Miss’s they all have to do sound effects. No one comes out unscathed. I certainly wouldn’t. But that’s why I didn’t run for Miss Universe. Because I totally could have. I just didn’t want to. * I realize that when pronounced in that language it’s probably the same thing. Like how hahahaha in Spanish is jajajajaja. But, look, it’s just funnier. Ja Ja Funny.Tyler Perry
