Aaron Chen: A Joke About Conspiracy Theories

**Aaron Chen** (0:05)
It's good to be out here, you know, I'm married now, thank you.
What a beautiful institution. I went to Thailand for the honeymoon.
Yep, we love Thailand. I told my dad this, I texted him, I said, we're going to Thailand for the honeymoon. He doesn't text back, he calls back immediately. He's like, don't go to Thailand. They're harvesting the organs of Taiwanese nationals. And immediately, I know what's going on, right? Because my dad, he's on an app called WeChat. And what this is, it's a Chinese messaging app where all my family have a group chat with one another, and they share conspiracy theories, often in the form of a JPEG.
And the one of that day was about harvesting Taiwanese organs. I pushed back. I'm like, Dad, I'm not Taiwanese. He knows that, you know? We've known each other quite some time. But he's adamant. He keeps pushing, right? And I want to convince him once and for all that these are conspiracy theories, like anyone can do them. I'm pretty good at Photoshop. So what I did was I got a picture of the Australian prime minister, and I put a caption on it. I said that they're beheading Chinese people in Hornsby.
That's where he lives. And I post that in the group chat. Ten minutes later, the group chat's going crazy. My uncle calls me, he's like, we're locking down. Watch Aaron Chen, Funny Garden, only on Netflix.
