  5. I watched tv the first couple months I came to Japan and then never turned it on again. lol Although I still remember watching a show where a guy dressed up as savannah animals and then went to confront those animals in the actual savannah, and that was genuinely one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.

  9. Man I was laughing so hard I cried when I saw this. I had a similar experience going to the dentist for the first time in Japan. I brought like 30,000 yen with me prepared to use it all and the bill was like 1,500 yen.

  10. So the takeaway from this lesson is that in order to master the Japanese Language I must grasp the concept of absolute passive aggressiveness.

  16. Someone finally said the holy words to me today. Finally, after 8 years

  18. The way people react to food on those shows is like someone eating proper food for the first time in their life.

  28. 109 wasn't squeaky enough, my ears didn't even bleed.
    3500
  29. Mmm. Kentucky Fried Christmas.
    3400
  30. That's why I'm playing the long game in learning Japanese: Ignore Kanji, learn Katakana and grammar, and when I know those in a decade or two, It'll just be English with a funny accent anyway.
    3400
  31. I showed this to my Japanese teacher. She's from Japan but has been teaching here in Nebraska for 20 years. She thought three things. 1. The video is hilarious 2. Your Japanese is actually really good 3. Everything you said was true, which she found even more amusing. She's also seen one of your videos before. She thought you were フランス人
    3300
  32. A tad late, but you forgot the foreigner who's married to a Japanese person and thusly has a much deeper connection to Japan despite not being able to communicate with half of the family.
    3300
  33. あ、タイトルのグラマーにミスがあります。「10年後」じゃなくて「アフター10年」です。

  40. So what you're saying is... the hardest part of Japanese, for native English speakers... are the English words...
    2500
  41. I'm just back from a one month japan trip and I really miss waking up to women screaming into megaphones with this I'm-just-out-of-asylum tone. I could only calm down by listening to the borderline suicidal english voice of my japanese navigation system.
    2500
  42. Rumor has it, he's still waiting for the waitress to bring him a girlfriend...

  45. So what your saying is, Japanese TV all share the same announcers.
    2300
  46. So the casual natural nihongo is slurred short and the nouns and pronouns are ommited. sometimes no grammar at all they just say the word that first pop on their mind and assumed the listener understand what they're trying to say
    2200
  47. Unfair. Japanese TV isn't only about food. Sometimes the talent will enter a completely standard 8 tatami room in a ryokan and lose their minds babbling over how incredible it is.
    2200
  48. last title card "He wouldn't..." he did
    2200
  49. For those who watches this channel for Dougen's personality rather than the language: 上手 - Jouzu (being good at something) is supposed to look like that, while the stamp says 土手 - dote - bank (river bank). BUT the small hiragana print still says jouzu (じょうず). It's a very obvious mismatch that translates this whole hoody into a walking dogen-style joke. It's brilliant!
    2200
  50. You're a phenomenal writer
