The introduction to Awkwafina’s long-anticipated 2018 EP, In Fina We Trust. Taking place in an NYC subway ride, Awkwafina meets a supposed fan who mistakes her for a slew of Asian celebrities, progressively getting more far-fetched.

The doors are closing
[Voice-over: Stranger]
Oh my fucking God, it's you
Oh my God, oh my God it's Bingbing Fan
[Voice-over: Awkwafina]
No-no-no-no-no, I'm not, I'm not
[Stranger]:
Bingbing Fan, I have been such a bing fan of yours for so long, in X-Men
[Awkwafina]:
You know what, I'm sorry, no, I-I-I'm not Fan Bingbing
[Stranger:]

[Awkwafina]:
George Takei is a man...
[Stranger]:

[Awkwafina]:

[Stranger]:
Oh my God, I fucking got it
You're that fucking fish from Bojack Horseman
