OMG I totally understand your McDonald's problems in this country! I made the mistake of saying "Happy Meal" XD I also got used to fries being called "fried potatoes" so I always say the opposite one no matter which restaurant I'm in. It was really strange when I found the most incommunicable McD's employee in Tokyo (of all places) the ones out in nowhere can understand me better (with or without my funky katakana pronunciation) :P I love this place!
Okay so I watched this when it first came out. and I just want to say that One. it is one of your most awesome up loaded videos just because it was uploaded on my birthday. and Two, Your just like... idk awesome! I have been with you for 3 years i belive, Love your videos and hope you read this! For my birthday could you dress up in some kind of Hello kitty and do a dance for me? May 31st! I will be watching! Tina May
I don't know why, but the thing that makes me laugh the most is the bit at the beginning about it being 8 in the morning, and you're shaking and pissed off, your mouth is dry and you want some breakfast.
they say to avoid the peanut butter and hot dogs in japan at all cost. along with mexican food. you should make a video on where to find good dogs, burgers, and pizza (the american kind, without squid and mayonaise, like i've heard so many people talk about.) you've covered burgers pretty well, but it's important to know about tokyo pizza.
hah I wonder how they picked out frankoburger for the name... I always assumed frankfurter was a less common name for hot dogs especially when referred to in English...
The first time I had to transit Narita Int. I made the mistake of getting a Hotdog. As I know zero Nihongo...I simply pointed and asked in English to the large, plastic, rather dildoish hotdog residing in the display case. I'm still not sure what it was made of, but it was neither "hot" nor "dog", but it taught me to appreciate Japanese beer even more than I do as I washed it down.
That was funny as hell. Especially the Spanish part. I can't believe he spoke English to the kitchen and he spoke Japanese to you. Lol. That's funny.
Everyone wants to come to America so badly, they're gonna have to learn Spanish. Now, who wants to have to learn two languages to go to a country. Not me. Sorry for the ranting. ^^
Ive been to 3 diffrent states, and lived in 2 of them and everyone speaks english their. Spanish too, but most likely foreigns will talk to the egnlish speaking people.
y? you said you need to speak spanish to come to America, not just your state. Maybe your state does, but that doesnt mean all of America is the same.
No, not the whole country. But, it's pretty sad when people in Japan no more and better English than the people in Kissimmee, FL. That's what I'm trying to say. So, yeah. That's bad.
I really enjoy his Vlogs, but I don't find his standup all that funny, and yet I enjoy good comedy. He tries too hard to be funny. His frustration comes through in his routines, but the psychotic outbursts are a little too hard to swallow.
thats what makes him funny.. just like dane cook.. he has wild outbursts.. and hes my favorite comedian.. so BIG THUMBS UP TO CRAZY OUTBURTS WOO haha ^_^
To each his own, I suppose. Like I say, I love his vlogs, but I don't like his stand-up. Its like I'm watching two different personalities--one for vlogs and one for stand-up. You're entitled to your opinion, I just think you're wrong.
bwhahahahhahahahhahahhahaahhahahahah I knew they would call it something stupid. I study Japanese and if I see something in katakana I usually have to spend 5min wondering what the fuck English word they are attempting to sound out.
Ah yes, the trouble of Japanese not understanding Gaijin. I asked for a Kitokato makufurare (Kitkat McFlurry) the other day, and she just looked at me like, "Huh?" Finally she repeated it, and then was like, "Oh! Kito katto makufurure?" Oy.
Excellent, been there done that. Doing it this week. I'll probably have to study to figure out what is the hamburger of the month at Maconoldadodo. Hambaga-teriyaki?
You hit that scenario right on the head. Do you have more video your comedy. You have stated that you did not no the language at all when you first went there?
Did you teach english at first full time? I tried to get a job there teaching english, they wanted to send me to Korea! Not me. Keep up the good work.
Its about 60% foreign and 40% Japanese by my guess. But of course varies from night to night, venue to venue. The tricky part is actually that the foreigners are from different countries with different comedy styles.
I see. Do you ever have to alter your material depending on the audience? It must be difficult to come up with and consider what foreigners find funny, along with what the Japanese find funny. But it looks like you knocked em dead anyway.
No... basically if the audience doesn't get it I just go ahead and bomb. I've found that in asia a bad set is not usually salvageable. No amount of speaking slower or louder seems to work. Being funnier is hard to start doing mid-set.
Ok, I just have to comment on this. This video has to be my favorite ever on youtube, man. I've watched it at least 5 million times and it never stops being funny! So in closing:
Over five years later, this is still my favorite TokyoCooney video!!
