Show transcript
00:00
We would like to welcome our girl comedian Karina Reyes.
00:07
So I saw a video of yours that I related to so
00:10
much. How was the reaction to it?
00:18
The video got like 15 million views.
00:21
Wow. You know,
00:22
the woman related to it and then the men were very insecure
00:27
They're like, you just don't have a sense of humor
00:30
You're not funny.
00:31
And then like bigger creators were then stitching the video posting my
00:35
comedy and then sending all these trolls to my comments where I
00:39
was getting death threats.
00:40
I had to file police reports.
00:42
Oh my gosh. And how did you feel like going through
00:45
all that? At first?
00:47
I was like, oh,
00:47
it's no big deal.
00:48
Like they're just sending more engagement to my page.
00:51
There you go. I love that.
00:52
Yeah, like I was getting like millions of views on my
00:55
profile. But then when I started getting like the death threats
00:58
I was like,
00:58
oh, this is a little serious.
01:00
So I actually had that video removed from their account,
01:04
but then they reposted it again and I haven't gotten it removed
01:08
but it's not as bad this time.
01:11
I mean, yeah,
01:11
it gets, it gets out of hand with the comments and
01:13
it's just people just feel like they can just say anything on
01:16
social media and they are not just no consequences and they never
01:19
have a picture, they never have a picture or they have
01:22
a picture with them and their family.
01:23
It's weird. I'm like,
01:25
oh sir, I'm sorry that you're unhappy.
01:28
Sometimes their profile will be public and their wife will be in
01:31
there. So I'll tag their wife.
01:35
I'd be like, ma'am,
01:36
you should be embarrassed.
01:37
You should be embarrassed like divorce.
01:40
I know, I know one time I got like a comment
01:43
that said, oh,
01:43
like you, she needs to go to the gym and I'm
01:46
like, and then I go on their profile.
01:48
I see their wife.
01:48
I'm like, ok,
01:51
I'm like, ok,
01:52
but you say I need to go to the gym.
01:53
I'm like, it don't make sense.
01:55
But any who I recently saw a meme that said born
01:59
to be a lover,
02:00
girl forced to be funnier than every man I knew like as
02:04
a woman in comedy.
02:05
Do you think men get insecure when they can't make you laugh
02:09
Yeah. On my dating profile because I'm trying to date
02:12
I don't even mention that I do comedy anymore because the
02:15
first thing will be like,
02:16
are you going to talk about me?
02:17
Tell me a joke?
02:19
They don't want to get to know me as a person.
02:21
They want to know about the comedy or they'll be like,
02:24
oh, I wish I could do that or I've always wanted
02:25
to do that and I like free entertainment.
02:29
Yeah. And I'm just like,
02:30
I may talk about you if you do something entertaining but I'm
02:34
just not going to talk about you just because you exist.
02:38
So you're Salvi and Mexican.
02:41
Yeah. My mom is Mexican and my dad's Salvadoran.
02:43
And did they ever get hate for being together?
02:46
Not that I know of.
02:47
I didn't even know it was a thing until I went to
02:49
college because I grew up in Compton and our school was Latino
02:53
people and black people.
02:55
But we never talked about what kind of Lati we are.
02:58
It wasn't until I went to college that people were like,
03:00
well, what are you when I did get comments in college
03:03
it would be from the Mexican people and they'd call me
03:06
like Cerro which means shit.
03:09
Yeah, it's offensive or like,
03:11
oh you're a papus and I'm like,
03:12
Papusas are delicious. They're delicious.
03:14
You're like, I'm that.
03:17
Yeah, they're delicious.
03:19
I want one now.
03:20
