Kent Derricott, David Spector, and Kent Gilbert are the epitome of Ugly Americans.

If you knew anything about Japanese TV you would know that Kent Derricott is a GENIUS. The comedy in Japan is mostly slapstick, he knows the culture and was brilliant at it. There's a reason he's famous in Japan.

japanese tv is all moronic.

there's a special kind of disdain reserved for foreigners but every variety show requires, to an extent, that its talents 'sell out their dignity.' I guess that raises the question of whether or not true dignity can be sold... personally I don't take everything seriously and don't think less of anyone for acting like an idiot, because it's fun sometimes. By the way, your off-topic advertisement for absinthe in the vid really makes me respect your persuasion skills.

It looks moronic because it suppress individuality but their highest moral is filial piety, and fitting in the group. Japanese mentality is that if they are not one of us, they are our enemy - thus reserved disdain. They are more of task masters then individual beings. You should read "The Chrysanthemum and The Sword" by Ruth Benedict

[sourringo]

ah, i've heard a lot about that book and have kind of wanted to read it... maybe i should, thanks. anyway, i completely agree with you... well-stated. it comes across as a harsh reality, but hey, if it works there i can't genuinely take issue with it.

Kent and his wife, Barbara, are extremely gracious and kind people. We knew them when we lived in Tokyo a number of years ago. He does speak Japanese exceptionally well and his comedic character plays very well on Japanese television. You don't know him and yet feel qualified to comment on his motivation and skills. You're a moron and probably max out by posting other people's videos on youtube. What a loser...lol.

[TAKENnameARGH]

Nah, I'v seen more retarded behaviour on TV...

And if he earns a living doing that. Well, you gotta do it somehow...

[seamusinjapan]

His claim to fame is just that he can speak Japanese and he comes across as a gaijin oddball.

In my opinion, anyway.

[mmmizuki]

What does he do in Japan?
