Freaking hilarious. Its even funnier if you know events or facts he's alluding to in his jokes.
The Chinese accent is a big bonus too.
Some of my favorite Joe Wong jokes from that video (NOTE: VIDEO SPOILER!)

It got good later on. You're building nuclear weapons? You're doing it wrong.

He was sort of funny at times, I guess. What killed it for me was that I couldn't understand half the things he was saying, and the subtitles would only show half the joke, then skip to "[APPLAUSE]". I didn't laugh that much.

Don't rely on the CC, it doesn't show what he's saying in its entirely. Just listen to it very carefully (despite the fob accent mixed in).
BTW, edited my OP to indicate my favorited Joe Wong jokes (however, its a video spoiler; if you want to be amazed at his jokes, I suggest you hold off from looking at my preference until you finish watching it.

Will, there was an added effect to the convenience store jokes regarding the Second Amendment because it was the second joke in the pair with the same convenience store response. When you understand both jokes and view them in the linear fashion he intended, they're that much more hilarious. Add to the fact he has a strong accent and purposely broke the English of the punchline in each case ("Uh..why our convenience store just robbed), and the layers of humor surrounding his satirical commentary are noted for their brilliance.

I tried, I really did! His accent's just...TOO GOOD.
And I'm Asian.

Damn, I didn't catch the second part of the conveience store-Second Amendment joke. I think I was laughing too hard when he brillantly made a connection between two of those things, lol.
Edit: Here's another video of him in another stint - Perils of Driving
