Surprise, America. A lot of us really hate 'Sixteen Candles.'

This week's 'Fresh Off The Boat' went waaaay meta with the #‎RepSweats commentary.



This week's Fresh Off The Boat blew my mind on multiple levels. Watching Eddie and his crew navigate the confusing, awkward territory of middle school relationships was painfully hilarious. But watching Louis invited to be a guest on the local morning news show, grappling with the burden to represent, was just plain genius.

Louis appears as a guest on Good Morning Orlando, charming everybody with his on-air impressions of Donald Duck and Sylvester Stallone. But when he gets home, Jessica calls him out on his buffoonery.

"We don't get opportunities to be on TV," she says. "That's why when we do we need to present our best face, not clown around like you did today." She likens his performance to one of the most notorious Asian stereotypes in the history of Hollywood movies -- Long Duk Dong of Sixteen Candles.
