White joke??



In the above video, the interviewer told Tom Cruise that, and I quote, "And Koreans totally love that type of white joke and..." or something like that. (This is at around 2:30.)

What does she mean by "white joke" here? OR is it something other than "white joke"?

FYI, the interviewer was born and bred in California.

There seems to be Korean subtitle in the video so if you speak Korean that might give you a hint. Emotion: big smile

Sounds like "white joke" to me too. I think it's a Korean idiom (translated to English), possibly meaning American-style humor.

Thanks, man.

I've got another question.

At 4:28, she says something like this:
_________________________ really nervous while watching it.
Now the fans have to go watch it.

I didn't quite get the first part.
What exactly did she say?

That made me really nervous while watching it.

(Immediately before this she says something in Korean -- at least, I assume it's Korean.)

Thanks.

Finally, at 5:02, she said (pointing to the selfie stick)
"Have you seen this?"
"Yes, only pictures of it." (Tom Cruise)
"_________________________________. Okay, we're gonna take a picture."

I hear "I wanna....", but not sure about it.
