Steven He
Steven He is a Chinese-Irish comedian, actor, and content creator known for his comedic skits portraying exaggerated stereotypes of Asian parents and their expectations of their children. His content often features the concept of "emotional damage," a term he popularized to describe the profound disappointment and shame inflicted by these interactions.
He's humor centers around high-pressure academics, achievement-oriented parenting styles, and the perceived cultural differences between Asian and Western upbringings. His videos frequently depict characters obsessed with grades, career success, and fulfilling parental ambitions. He often uses exaggerated accents, slang, and catchphrases to emphasize the comedic effect.
While He's work uses broad stereotypes, it resonates with many viewers who identify with the pressures and expectations common in some Asian families. This relatability has contributed significantly to his online popularity.
His social media presence includes platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, where he regularly posts short-form comedic videos. He has also collaborated with other content creators and comedians.
