The Fung Bros, Andrew and David Fung, have more than a million followers on their YouTube channel. (And yes, they're real biological brothers.) They grew up in Kent, a suburb south of Seattle, but their breakout hit "626 (Music Video)" celebrated the Asian food feast in their adopted home: L.A.'s San Gabriel Valley. They've made videos like "Asians Eat Weird Things" and "Things Asian Parents Do." But these days, Andrew and David say they're moving towards videos with a bit more social commentary, like exploring perceptions of Asian masculinity, in "Get Out Asian Parody." Andrew and David joined KUOW's Bill Radke to talk about where their comedy comes from, what it's trying to do, and where it's going. Transcript lightly edited for brevity. David Fung: Born and raised Kent East Hill, we in the building!

Andrew Fung: 253 Deuce Five Tre! Unincorporated King County! Bill Radke: Now when you told people that you were from Kent, you're from the 253, what kind of things would you hear? Andrew: "Oh, the place with a lot of factories and warehouses!" and I was like "What are you — oh yeah, I guess down the hill there are, yeah." David: Yeah, a lot of my friends in business school, their parents owned companies where they would house their, like, ships or something. Andrew: It was known for being "That place next to Ikea."

Radke: King County is a lot more Asian now. But what was it like growing up Asian in Kent in the '90s? David: Yeah, I mean growing up in East Hill, you know, you still bumped into people who had country rural accents and you'd be like "I don't know how you have a rural accent. I don't know if you immigrated from Missouri or is it just like a mechanic blue collar thing?" Andrew: And I think something that's funny, growing up in Kent, I don't think it's as common anymore, but we would see people wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats to school, like on Hat Day. That kind of area. Radke: Your parents were born in China. How did they end up in Kent? David: Our parents actually met in college at Ohio State and they were part of the first wave of student immigrants allowed in by Nixon. My dad took a job as an aerospace engineer at Boeing. So they have different plants all over, but Kent is one of them, so my dad was like "Hey, I don't want to commute too far, so."

Andrew: Kent was close by work, essentially. So that's it. David: We kept it real. Radke: I want to talk about your YouTube channel, which focuses on Asian-ness, immigrant parents, how non-Asians see you. Why do you focus there? David: I think a lot of it is probably driven from growing up and being the only Asian that a lot of people know, or at least like stereotypical Asian. You know, when I say "stereotypical Asian" most people are referring to a Chinese or Korean or a Japanese person. Andrew: Or maybe one of the only Asians that they're engaging with, that they feel comfortable talking to. Like I know there was always some funny conversation: "Oh do you really know how to use chopsticks?" Or they would touch the middle of our forehead, around where our eyebrows are, and be like, "Oh, I never did this to an Asian before." It's kind of goofy.

David: "Why do you guys' faces look so plain? Why don't you have eyelids? Why is your skin so smooth? Why are your eyes like this?" Andrew: But you know the funny thing is it was literally because of lack of contact. These are not people who know any Asians. David: Yeah. Andrew: And they're not, I wouldn't necessarily say these kids are racist, really, like they're just being kids. Like, "You look different. What are you? What's going on here? Tell me about it." Radke: You know that some people's reaction to that is to be like, "That is such a small part of me," you know? And you want to see people on TV, Asians who are just people and it's not all about their Asian-ness, you know? And in your YouTube channel you're really kind of diving into those perceptions and those questions.
