I love when they show the really gay prisoner in prison shows. He's the cutest inside but you know on the street he would be the ugliest.

When my woman kisses me I start dancing like James Brown. Ow! I Feel Good!

My black friends in America don't believe me. I said, 'Dude, I'm Nigerian American.' 'Word? We thought you were, like, regular black.' What the hell is 'regular black'? Crayola coming out with colors I don't know about?

But there's times when I like to find the strange angles to something. People go, 'I heard a lot of jokes like that, but that's one of the most interesting takes I heard.' That's what I try to do.
