I’ve never seen this show, but I do watch a lot of Comedy Central so I see a ton of commercials for it. Is the whole show just her saying “frick” over and over? Because that’s what it seems like based on the commercials.

It’s really strange, almost every commercial I see is just her cursing. Has anybody seen the show? Is there more to it than just that, or is that basically the gist of it?

Or is this just another show that CC pretends that people like/watch in order to keep it on air much longer than it deserves to be (just like The Daily Show with Trevor Noah)?

I really like this show. It’s funny as hell. If you can’t laugh at the Season 2 episode where she tries to break up her dad’s new relationship, you have no soul.

The one where she and grandma go to Atlantic City and the one where grandma tells her past in China in the style of a K Drama are hysterical.

I've only seen one episode so far, but I liked it. She is funny.

I mainly watch CC for office and Parks and Rec on random but so see these a lot.

I might be in the minority but I find her funny, if a bit grating. Not appointment television by any means but better than Schumer or others they’ve pushed.

I'm surprised you would even be interested enough to start the show.

Interesting that you're enjoying it though. I'll have to ask you about it next time I see you.

I refuse to ever give it one second of my time due to:

1) The utterly retarded name
2) Thinking you're such a celebrity that you incorporate your name into the show telling us the character you'll be playing

I find that Awkwafina adds some entertainment to the movies that she's in, but I've never sought out anything because she's in it. I thought she blew her opportunity on SNL. It wasn't in her performing wheelhouse. If you need a whacky Asian, call her in.
