Life in Tokyo #53 A Phallus Festival

[vnj4x]

damn, you dont just go to penis festival and eat hot dog, that aint right.

[Reelbigearth]

I miss Tokyo Swan :(

[pinglauwa]

@Reelbigearth Yeah, I said kind of the same thing in the last video. But in this one he's actually in it for more than 3 seconds, you barely notice him in the last.

[jerrenmack]

What In The Holy Hell

[Nuzubaki]

priceless at 5:00 Tokyo Swan's expression

[Aquarius12490]

I'm strangely okay with this...

[LightningShock1]

WTF is wrong with the japanese? I love them I do, but they make the most fucked up things.

[PrincessSinderella]

WTF!

[ivlust]

After that, I'd be looking at that hot dog weird. nothing phases you, Cooney :P

[gaydanzig]

they do this every year on my birthday.

[MaxichaChan]

i think i really do find this rather disturbing and i now will probly have nightmares. LOL, "two japanese guys dressed like police woman, oh wait, those are actually woman." HAHAHA!

[MDIS]

lol yea lol

[orifmraz]

so funny... penis lollipops. for the children of course.

[gangster301]

Why is the pink penis so short?

[kmah88]

5:25... why does it have teeth?!

[freeqwerqwer]

In a Japanese festival, the band were singing a song about "Bring me home, West Virginia" ?

[freeqwerqwer]

This guy has no inkling about Japanese history and cultural meaning of things. His video is that of a dumb lost tourist with no idea whatsoever.

[joebenevides]

@freeqwerqwer: Really?! Please enlighten us on your vast experience immersed in Japanese culture. I'm sure you've been living there longer than Cooney's 8 years at the point he made this video. And maybe all those Japanese men in drag carrying giant phallus symbol were just foreigners trying to fit in. Too bad all those damn foreigners are having so much fun ruining the phallus festival. I'm sure the Japanese would prefer no one showed up to spend money.

BTW: You're a pretentious ass!

[grotop]

T_T noooo! Swan! RIP

[tmochie]

"wanna go to a penis festival?"... "in your house?" .. ahah that cracks me up! xD

[Fesumien]

INITIALLY i was like "oh come on, i've seen some messed up stuff in the past, it cant be THAT bad"

._. Japan really has gone over the top so viewers BE WARNED

[krane121]

@Fesumien HAS gone? This is an ancient rite. It's way way way toned down. You're applying the Western idea of degenerating "values" where it doesn't belong.

[Jessebadesha]

WOW... West Virginia, Mountain Mama.

[scxymoi]

HAAHAHAA!! OMFG XDD tht is so hard to believe XD

[papalolita]

What an outrage! A giant PINK penis?

It should have been a giant BLACK penis!

[LH075382]

[Hikikomori16]

RODFL 0_o pENIS fESTIWAL lol 0_o

[hanajapdream]

[Parmenides480BC]

[molewizard]

Everything about this video is just fucking awesome.

[drakonis8]

agreed

[demondude15]

sweet!!!! this festival should come to the u.k!

[boudy077]

wtf? japan is definately a foreign culture

[amyOfEgypt]

LOL! just LOL!

[narunoteXotakuclan9]

agreed

[SleepyDonutBushido]

I think the mascot is a cousin of Gachapin.

[mitsubishi777]

At least, most of Japanese men have bigger ones than your dad's one.

[amyOfEgypt]

i just said i think coz its what i hear people saying. im not racist and its suppose to be a joke. gome gome...tsk tsk...but since u talked about my dad i dont think so its either ur gay or u didnt see one yet. u can insult me but not my dad ok.

[Tabiosk]

lol..only japan....

[avernikas]

brilliant and scary, why o why, i love japan, but is equally a bit intimated by the weirdness, if only a little.

[mattx017]

DUDE TOILETS ONLY for women and that little girl sitting next to that penis was funny as hell lol

[deanofantastico]

that video made me laugh also... the penis mascot thing is really really similar to the mirelurks from fallout 3 seriously look it up and compare

[RoyaleCafe]

OMG I KNOOOOOW!

[shadedscript]

penis festival?!?! but why????????????????????

[Smataba]

creepy penis mascot...it has teeth ..T.T

[vin22kevin]

the penis maskot is too creepy.

reminds me of a deformed teletubie.

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

Thats really weird...and all of those kids there......

But oh well cooney made me laugh a lot on this one XD

"What like at your house?"

[ninahyena]

for some reason, a kid standing in front of a penis lolly stand seems just so wrong!!!

haha great vid tho

[SakatsuinJapan]

I want to attend a phallus festival for myself! :D

I'd sure have culture shock and feel a bit embarassed, that for sure.

[porlon2]

Only in Japan!!!

Penis Lolipops ahahaha....

[Reelbigearth]

5:26

The single most ugly thing in the entire world. Right next to children starving in foreign countries and the results of nuclear war.

[salforce19900710]

[platano214]

[ssoiknoasayake]

[AntheaHopkins]

[madeup7777777]

[pinaymod]

[nartin86]

I wish they have a vagina festival. I sure would fly to Tokyo.

[Solidiquis]

Wonder if I can get a blowjob there O__o

LOLOl

[PianoBoi69]

So your at a Penis festival Singing Country Road in Japan. "!!!SUBSCRIBE!!!"

[truesailorcomet]

i would like to ask why they are singing country road at a penis festival, lol:P what is funny is that i live in west virginia, and i wouldn't think west virginia would be something well advertised, especially in japan, lol:P

[Hisoka79]

Nice to see how open they are, fine it refreshing, but at the same time, kids sucking on candy cocks is some what disturbing. Oh how I love Japan, so much... Contrast everywhere!

[blproducer]

Handmade Penis Lollipops...HAHAHAHAHA

...it's fun for a girl and a boy!

[stryder050]

if E.T were a giant penis..he would probably look just like that.And I don't know if I would be taking my kids to that festival.I dont have any, but you get what I'm saying

[ilikelimegreen1234]

NOOOO its decided, I am moving to Japan now

[segatasanshir0]

is that really and old sayimg. lmaooo

[chezzmix]

Im all open to culture but ill be damn if my kids are sucking on penis lollipops...lol

[tarabiru]

what??? penis candy for kids?? wahaha

[sorry009]

When the guy in the penis outfit started dancing to Country Roads I think I might've had an aneurysm. XD

[animekoi]

whers the vagina festivals

[Reelbigearth]

5:21

Hey, this looks fun, that guy looks nice, and the music is kinda good, and every looks like their having a great time...hey whats that pink.- oh my god

[RageingMuffin]

oh dear god is that a giant dancing diseased penis?

I... i dont know how to feel about this XD Part of me is like "...oh wow....giant penis!"

the other part is like "OH WOW GIANT PENIS" And although i want to laugh its part of their culture... And I saw another one on national geographic about some naked festival where some man has to have all hair shaved (ALL hair) and run around naked in freezing weather and get smacked by other naked men. Good times....Good times..

[cyborgvampire]

where's the festival for vaginas? XD

[zephimage]

the dancing penis...*ded*

[DeNdeMaNwc3]

oh my fucking god that is hilarious

dont know if i have the cojones to go there next year, cuz i know i would crack up every time i see these things there ^^

[DavePerry2012]

0:42 LOL LOL LOL...genius!

[hungrymunster]

HAHA i can't believe they let kids in there lol.

[grotop]

How did you even get this approved for Youtube. I thought nudity and pornography is not allow on Youtube.

[ronaldmcgddonald]

Everyone has to have some fun.

[tokyocooney]

Its all about context. Is national geographic pronograpy? Is the statue of Davis pronography? Its a cultural event, and clearly its not the same thing as pornography.

[fullmetalfunk]

you should check out the video on youtube of the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing "Fire" at Woodstock 99' lol. And don't flag it.

[CherryBlossomskt]

i thought it was all cool, those souvenirs would make great gifts for my co-workers

[6663000]

LOL "So you wanna go to a penis festival"

Now thats a great pick-up line.

[Areweonfiya]

PENIS LOLLIPOPS

[cz8797]

I've gotta tell ya, that is one of the strangest and most halarious festivals I've ever seen.

[Seebr115]

Now I realize why you have stayed in Japan so long. Penis Festivals followed by camp fire songs of John Denver. The comedy just writes itself. lol

[b1ue1ion]

YES! There's a shop in Chinatown in SF that has a huge, veiny shuttlecock made out of wood. Huge as 6 feet long-ish and 2 feet in diameter. Schwing!

[OhMySavy]

That is so gross, creepy and hilarious.

Uhm...penis lollipops? Are you serious?

.___.

[b1ue1ion]

Ha. You should get out more.

[JermaineATL]

I wonder how many people get laid that day since its national penis day???...

[RantNRavinFection]

how bizarre! but then again, it's about time the penis got some credit!!!

[aamulinna]

Yeah, what else would you play at a PENIS festival with a saber tooth penis maskot... really? what else...

[marshalljoyner]

I would definately have waited the whole time beside the penis lollipop vendor for a fine ass tokyo lady to buy one so I could also advertise that mine is free and it never gets smaller when you lick it... Kinda like an Willy Wonka treat. woot woot

[marshalljoyner]

I wanna be Japanese. Please make them stop selling sushi ice creams and start a Red Lobster there, christ man make some real money wtf?

[SolusArmatura]

A penis festival in Japan with giant dancing dicks and the Japanese people are singing about West Virginia... WTF O_O

[davehiggod]

Man, you said it, buddy !!!!!!

[hayatotheninja]

Country Roads... In Jenglish... With a Dancing Penis that looks like it should be an Urutoraman Villain... Cooney, that was the best.

[SpinningBirdKick1]

1. Im glad my chinchin is in better proportion than that pinky

2. what fat douche drinks a hyaku en orangejuice box around the streets of japan?

3. Lol that little girl at the festival...BEST WAY..to teach about the birds and the bees: TAKE EM TO A PENIS FESTIVAL!

4.How do i pray to the penis again? And do i have to wash my hands before? or bring spremicidal lube?

[Kerisa]

chinchin? wow...

[soadluvr8]

Also, why John Denver... mixed with Penis?

[soadluvr8]

"Ive seen bigger...umm...bigger festivals"

hahahha =]

[2243347]

wtf muahahahahh

[dory98]

hahahahahahhahahahaha....crazy japaneses and their festivals

[yokai1968]

What date is the festival held on? I would check it out next year 2009 if I new. The music is great! Ha! Ha!

[senpai16]

lol my senior class made a float that was supposed to be the school clock tower, but it looked a lot like the gaint penisi in that matsuri. lol

[dionel80]

wow lik wtf lmao there were little gurls sucking on penis lollipops lik wtf man and lik at 5:25 lik wtf is that is that a penis with every StD known to man

[yello769]

holy crap!!! 5:25, what the hell is that thing!?!?!? its grotesque! and its dancing!

[Iwant2eatbutter]

Why is there a bunch of transexual carrying the Giant Pink Penis, seriously?

[ographic]

a beautiful kind of madness. i want a few of those cock lolly's...yeah, but i'm not gay.

[gegatnt]

ugh.. i dont like celebrating mine with any one.

[Freiza890]

gotta love japan....and their giat dildo floats...

[link5283returns]

does anyone else find this disturbing or is it just me.

[alicenine33]

"where umm, at your house?" ahahahahahahaha

[SatoNiji]

Haha, wish I could've been there to help them with that John Denver song...and have a penis lollipop. :D

[forest556]

why does japan have an indecency law against representation of the penis, and yet they have a festival dedicated to them?

[gsever007]

Wow.... just...wow.... I haven't seen a penis that big since the washington monument...

yep.

that's a penis too.

A wrong looking penis but a penis nonetheless.

[kabayis]

lmao! @ boyscouts!!! lol seeing a big pink penis somehow makes you hungry for a hotdog..

[xXBlackCrowXx]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :D

[Oscarmayer261]

LOL WTF IS THAT .... go to 05:23 thats so funny

[LittlePinky82]

Tokyo Swan! How cool! Yay! I love his video's! I've corresponded with him twice at least and he's nice. :) Boy scouts huh? LOL about the hot dogs! lol Wow I'm surprised there are very little kids there! Were they there with the big penis and all that? Wow. I guess they teach them young about sex-ed? Well better than the "abstinence" crap here. LOL with the lollipops! OMG. Do they sell vibrators there too? LOL at the officers.

[ElGeorgeccs]

Lol , very japanese!! que fritos estan! jjajaja

[epic619]

hmmmmmmmm ... im not sure what to say ...

did you touch the pink ... thing ...?

[MarlynHM]

Darn it! I can't believe that I missed the Phallus matsuri! I don't know when I'll get another chance to witness this once-in-a-lifetime thing~

[Tarft]

Asians singing John Denver at a Penis party..it cant get much better

[LadyMingYee]

....O_O OMG!!! You know what? I'm Chinese, so I don't get offended by weird stuff that other Oriental people do 'cuase I'm use to it. But this...OMG!!! It's...It's...just too funny and messed up!!! XD

[mamikochan]

this was funny, interesting and very intriguing. i didn't realize any towns still had these types of festivals.of course, this sort of thing was common in most places before the industrial era.fertility rituals of all kinds have been a part of every society at some point or other. good job catching this one and sharing it. really enjoyedthe commentary! ^o^

[KraziAzian]

i barfed a little in my mouth when i saw that costume..............

[schokolatita]

I am freaking out...

[Nashyboyo]

dick lolipops being made for children?

[lazypuddycat]

btw, tokyocooney, you should ring the bell before praying :P

[lazypuddycat]

Although I am sad to say I missed that, I am glad you got the full scope with it. I can't say a trip to Japan is complete without a trip to the penis shrine :P

[Strideo1]

It really started to creep me out when they were singing a John Denver song with a penis monster and there was footage of penis pops. o_O

[hentaitensai]

Fun for the whole family, they even have suckers for the kids!

[tokengaijin]

I wonder how much someone gets paid for carrying around a penis at a festival.

[angrymallard]

I think they actually volunteer for that.

[granchongo1]

was that cooney in the schlong costume...

[Yokixx]

Too funny! This is riot. I miss Japan!

[luisbun]

cool festival, hey why not !

dont get the west virginia sing-song though, weird.

[ghanakidd]

easily the most surreal moment.

[Wesujin]

W

T

F

thats too funky for words.

[fireraider747]

Only in Japan...

[hhanyu]

"wanna go to a penis festival?"

"you mean, at your house?"

I am just wondering if a penis festival took place at TkyoSam's place, what would look like? Nah. I just have goose bumps. What am I thinking?

[anubis96789]

OMG! 5:23! a walking....what kind of festivle is this lol.OMG the lolypops just killd me! ahahahaa

[KidCaliente]

LOL! At 5:01 made me laugh so hard! "Its good!" "Yeah, yeah it looks good." Genius!

[bfrance2002]

Best part... Dancing Pe*** to John Denver, Country road.

"Take me home, country road".. That ain't my home... Funny.

UH,, Hand made lollipop ... Don't think I would buy them. Tokyocoony, you missed a comedic moment. Buy a lollipop and lick it in front of the camera.. HAHAHA. Oh, maybe that is to far.

[williszero]

OMG There is a cock monster and the crowd is singing around it!! Haha..did you see the little girl hugging the Penis statue! lol

[fragonarag]

That penis costume was incredible.
