Russell Peters is a Canadian comedian, which is quite hard to say fast. This clip shows the stand-up comic giving Chinese sellers a hard time.

For a Canadian, he does a very funny impersonation of a Chinaman. Apart from the mannerisms and mindset, Russell Peter’s Chinese accent is especially clever, and if you close your eyes, you can picture some pushy Oriental shop seller trying to haggle with a customer who knows exactly which buttons to push. Pushing the comedy all the way, Peters manages to corner the Chinaman at $30, which results in him buying time by turning away and consulting with his wife - priceless.

There aren’t many comedians per square mile in Canada, but Russell Peters is a funny guy worth traveling to see.
