Life in Tokyo #54 Acceptable Risk

[HansMaulwurf1988]

1:44 - looking like that isn't normal? o.O

[naruto1444]

[asta315]

1:24

[bubbly101girl]

oooh that my doggy she had worms and stuff

no wonder she ate alott

[AkiiDesu]

Hey Mr. Cooney, Your in your 30's but I still can't see any wife? :D

[Florcitax]

kevin is allways eating and never gets fat mmmmm ??  he he

[L337wizard]

yay old theme!!!!

[Metal404Head]

So have you tried dating anyone in tokyo?

It seems like the culture differences could make or break a relationship

[Th0usandMaster]

from my point of view it's not really "risk"

by the word "rare" he means that you probably never encounter them in your life time on average.

And even if you catch it the fatality is even less, you will get better in a few days after you had your treatment.

[LetsReview101]

japanse women are loud in bed when you make love with one of them....

[Karateforlife777]

Get Aids and Die Fag. Get out of Japan you stupid America.

[kurox67]

well here in the usa we have the famed mutter museum in phildelphia

[pherroz]

wow..instant penis enlargement

[MaxichaChan]

i'd be the rare case of getting a parasite with my luck in life, lol!

[NintendoSpoofer]

quick question (because the curator brought it up) in tokyo (in japan for that matter), do they talk a lot about the war?

[QuilavaKing]

I'm not easily grossed out... but... yeah, I think I'm gonna skip this one.

[TokyoAro]

I wonder what japan would do if they saw his opening

[SaerdnaOoOoo]

seems like japan lacks people with with and that are reall funny. it's too bad, but ilike the music industry and trees :P

[gangster301]

So the parasite reduces the size of your genetelia? Damn...

[sonypsp05]

there's a cute girl in the background. Get her Number. HAHAHA!! i atcually would.

[JackOSpades91]

I Know men always say the want bigger junk, but god damn that's something else.

[buzzkoro]

what a testicle ^^! hoeekk...

[PiedmontEddy]

dude cooney. have you noticed that the girl sitting behind you looks really REALLY similar to the girl in your ice cream video? look back in this video to 6:40. i think she looks the same =/.

[Badcom911]

how could someone let their balls get that big

[LH075382]

i've gotta get me one of those bindles~!

[craffte]

this episode never ceases to be funny. ok this is only the second time i've watched it .....but it's still funny.

[robertc190]

very informing indeed

[pissballs]

excellent vids,they make me laugh,and its good to know all this stuff when i go there one day.thanks for doing these.

[Gytu]

I bet those japanese use robots to separate those dangerous parts

[drakonis8]

'used for measuring tape worms that come out of your butt '... i laughed to fact that you said that with a straight face

[kadaj7007]

Im eating my breakfast right now lol

[xXbondagegurlxX]

i think i just got ocd

[RARG9]

1:44 wuchereria bancroft =D

[avernikas]

you need to do more videos, more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more. and a few more after that.

[AwsomeCuban]

You're intros are always funny anouther great video from you

[craffte]

a parasite museum..sounds like something they'd have in Minneapolis. ...only sophisticated. thank you for (me) because i can't go there. i am poor. sad me.

[mtgforlife]

Nah we don't have anything that weird here.

[kraids543211]

You must have a titanic stomach to be able to down food right after being in that musuem. I am impressed

[cbass5511]

Just another topic that makes me like japan even more.

[arrweena]

ohmygod.... 0.0 no way that was real

[BorisKid]

aw man thats nasty!

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

Should have listened when he warned me -_-

[ServaRevas]

So I was sitting at my desk, bored as I ate my dinner, when I came up with this wonderful idea. I thought I should watch one of Tokyocooney's old yet super awesome videos while I eat. Wonderful Idea!

Guess which video I decided to watch while eating. XD

Worst selection ever. I'll go check another one. Let's hope it's nothing gross.

[itskindoflike]

4:40- shes SO LOUD!! i dont know what they're looking at on that table, but im guessing its some kind of magical being... lol.

[enig8017]

Leave it up to me stop the video and make a sandwhich after I've been warned not to.

Great vid!

[RobBrezina]

I love the ruler comment. Great joke! haha

[NassimosReturn]

Most pork is imported from Canada... I guess we are more trust-worthy than Americans lol

[salforce19900710]

brilliant!!!

[Ojamashimasu]

I WAS eating, but not anymore.

[blueravenfire]

jesus, thank god i was not eating anything when i watched this O.O

[ManaStar]

I trust Japanese food health standards far more than American ones. Looking at the fact that the average Japanese person lives to be 85 and that America still hasn't banned Trans fat and High Fructose Corn Syrup is what does it for me.

[ChivKnight]

Too true, America really is unhealthy. =/ Japan is like, one of those germless utopias in a big bubble you hear about in sci-fi flicks. In Japan, I wouldn't mind eating things like raw chicken or such. In America? Err...no.

[SaifoMano]

Do all kinds of sushi have raw meat? and does most of Japanese food contain Sake? thanks

[greenlocomotive]

no. sushi while primarily raw fish, often has omelet on it, or other things.... and the majority of japanese foods do NOT have sake in them, even if they do, the alcohol has been cooked off. ANd if not, well, what's the point of sake anyways right

[greyranger12]

Okay so I understand the whole...don't be afraid part, but Tokyo Cooney...you almost ruined eating sushi for me for a second there.

[amsd1231]

does that include this one?

[FatesWishes]

What is the point of life if you can't take risks right?

[nobleninjanaut]

I wish I could eat most of the food but im deathly allergic to shellfish... *drops to kennes* "God you sick bastard, why!!!!?"

[browndog1978]

haha, the picture at the end is awesome

[miniccc]

Vote for Tokyo Cooney.

[gagambeno]

you could always stop the parasite when its at the right length ;)

[fullmetalfunk]

Lol.

[lobsternoob]

nice vid. just one question, are you Tom Green's little brother?

[ironsaviorguy99]

im not worried about dying im worried about my genitals swelling to the size of a bowling ball from a parasite

[sorry009]

Why were there hot girls in the parasite museum? WHY!?

[RisingSoldier115]

this kind of museum is just made for people with germfobia :P

[fullmetalfunk]

I have germaphobia.

[ironsaviorguy99]

that sucks because 98 percent of the cells in your body ar bacteria

[fullmetalfunk]

I've heard it all. "98% of the cells in your body are bascteria." "Did you know you can't live without bacteria?" "There are millions of germs on yuor hands right now." I've heard it all. Haha. I'm still germaphobic though. It changes nothing. Lol.

[ironsaviorguy99]

did you know that 88 pecent of americans have some sort of parasite in their body

[fullmetalfunk]

Haha. I bet your good at trivial pursuit. I didn't know that though. If you have one is it always harmful?

[ironsaviorguy99]

no i think uuuuuhhhh 75 percent are un detectable because they are harmless

[fullmetalfunk]

Whew. Ok that's good.

[fullmetalfunk]

and actually I read it was 85% but I guess that's splitting hairs. It's a BIG percentage.

[RisingSoldier115]

nigiri is so delicious parasites or not

[cyborgvampire]

1:45

*jaw drops for at least 10 seconds*

[aolser10]

this guy is the coolest guy on u tube

i mean author he gives nice staff thanks bro

we love u

[fullmetalfunk]

I'm a vegeterian. Can I still get a parasite?

[RosesOnTheCoffin]

It's less likely, but vegetables grown in swamp like areas, like celery or mushrooms, can carry germs and parasites. But if you clean them thoroughly, you should be fine. It's not worth worrying over.

[fullmetalfunk]

Ok. That's good. Thanks.

[6663000]

Informative video, the very last few seconds were fuunny.

[Kooun]

Its a good thing I turned away like you said because I was eating some taco bell and I didn't want to throw up.

[Megametalwolf]

fucking cool stuff, "if your watching youtube you might have BSE anyway" lol

[sasukenote13]

anyone who hates sushi, F@ck U!!

[onlyplaytabs]

Shut up, Otaku.

[aamulinna]

Spot on Kevin, spot on.

[marshalljoyner]

paperkitten is right...also wtf? you are defending risky ass food because its an old ass tradition and you chose to live there and eat snake ice cream goddamn dude grow up

[gameeater1]

Japan--no, most east Asian countries seem like they're quite sanitary and protective of their citizens. I think I'd be more comfortable eating some sushi right about now, rather than going and eating that aforementioned Cheeseburger.

[bittertea]

You obviously never been to the Philipines.

China... NO. Maybe Hong Kong... maybe. South Korean... probably.

[stringtofate]

ROFL "hard to tell if you had it". Funny stuff.

[SpinningBirdKick1]

Did that guy have elephantitis on his yoohoo???

[PaperKitten]

its actually elephantiasis, common mistake made by most people.

[PaperKitten]

your jokes need some work. :/

[Bratcipheo]

my balls need work.

[carsiotto]

so get them out of your moms ass, and have your dad "work" on them...LOL

[yurg56]

Actually, the question I was thinking of was why a guy eat a parasite that he just pooped out of his ass?

[1Anime1Lover1]

Lol, he doesn't eat the parasite directly from his ass since it's probably because you didnt wipe your ass properly and you scratch your ass like a few minutes/hours later and you get it on your hands then you eat without washing your hands first. :D

[carsiotto]

same here

[psprapper]

haha you funny with the banjo song

[ladyhenna5]

Aww I love to eat that. It tastes really good.

[ninjabuuhda]

dat was funny al u said when dat guy was talking was aaaa oooo ohhh

[s0ulCreative]

Veryeducational, thanks for the info man!

[bluebabyboi22chrome]

what the hell is that think at 1:44

[lobsternoob]

testicles, balls, a nutsack.

[rtworincinerator]

so...did the raw pork and chicken make you sick or what..what does it taste like...thanks dude

[jkerrigan1990]

an eight meter tape worm...thats my curiosity satisfied

[b4itis2late]

Japanese! Don't kill parasites. They are endangered species save our planet, go green peace !

[OboeDuck]

You have to be kidding...

[arby22207]

Have you tried Fugu?

[infring724]

When I was 8, we still had mandatory parasite check in my area in Japan. Every year, I had to collect my stool at home, put it in a plastic test tube and submit it to the lab via school.

At that year, they found parasite in my stool. Why? Because I collected John's instead of mine since that was much easier. By the way, John was my precious Dachshund.

Since I was the only one who had parasite in my class, and that was known by everybody, imagine the discrimination I have experienced.

[Freiza890]

lol natural male inhancement eat parasites! YUM (1:44 in the vid)

[itsrichardperkins]

thank you very much for the advice about just putting it "down the hatch" and not working about what you eat. I'll keep this in mind when I enter this foreign, although I love Japanese food, especially sushi.

[kdimouni]

OMGGG 1:44.. PLEASE DONT LOOK

[Kamikraze]

1:44... Is..is that even physically possible! Wouldn't people be lining up for a small dose of whatever parasite that guy has? ...Jeez..

[barbs19788]

Raw chicken? Bugger me.

[cyberkitkat]

wouldn't they have built up an immunity to that type of thing while u have not?

[lazypuddycat]

Hahaha, my husband went there too (I refused to go, and stayed in the Ryokan to sleep) He even got postcards there (I don't think he is planning to send them to his parents anytime soon) :P

[dellaaa1]

1:44, dont even want to know

[iamcoolerdenu]

wtf!!!1:44

[kimberlyashdown]

Great vid man! I tried pretty much everything when I was there and I thought the same thing... They are still alive! My mom always told me not to eat the cookie dough bc of the raw egg and that is everywhere over there. I had to overcome some preconceived idea's for sure! I also ate raw horse and raw fugu... I loved walking down the street and eating walky walky (see video above) Eat it Easy!

[NeoXC]

For some reason, I was paying a lot more attention to the girls in the background, playing on their cell phones, talking about how something was kawaii... o.O

[Kobolinear]

Haha me too.

I heard one say "Yabai!"

[Axel777]

I demand MOAR videos,they are awesome

[whateverrr]

haha youre a cool guy :)

[Kazuzoo]

At around 4:40 the girl in the background is fucking LOUD! But anyway, cool video

[dougmoore]

This was the best LiT video yet. It was the most informative while still having a bit of humor involved. I like these.

[mt37222]

The reason why you were dancing upon the roof because you had itch on your ass? Just wondering.

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

so what did people do back than when they had elephantitus?

how they treat it, are they able to treat it now?

looks painful

[1x93cm]

nice shades

[furaidopoteto]

DEKAI!

[TechMansoor]

Brilliant..absolutely brilliant...this is possibly the most informative video you've done brother!!!!!! Absolutely brilliant...and did you guys check out the beautiful asian sisters in the background when tc was schooling us on our(Americans) eating habits as opposed to whats deemed acceptable in japan??? I've got to step it up so I can make it out to Tokyo!!!!! A complete life adventure it shall be... Awesome work brother!!!! Just utterly beyond awesome work!!!!!!!

[kenzaburo]

I went to that museum about 8 years ago and I think I ate in the same kaiten sushi place after. Nice video.

[alexvpaq]

Hey! I've watched all of your videos and you are doing a really great job I had a lot of fun watching them and I'm just curious about one thing what programs are you using to mix video/audio and convert them to make them look good on youtube? Keep these videos comings I really like them =D

[GnomeyHead]

lol "Parasite-alicious"

[malekamoves]

can think of something better for you, a girlfriend :), nah just joking, keep up the good work, hey, I am going to Tokyo next year and Ill have a good time too, u know any surfing places in Japan?

[murakamipanda35]

I like a monologue at the opening. It cracks me up :)

[ccr1965]

That banjo music really kicks it up a notch!

[Lensei]

Great stuff, man.

[revampted]

oh Mikey D's joke

[WiiWiiXboxXbox360]

nice videos. but is there ps4 in japan or the new wii?

[covmatak]

whats your problem anyway? are you just stupid?? or in need of attention?

[diddykongfu]

wow you sure are a stupid racist damn poof

[AshiriKagee]

....I didn't have time to fear the food here...

In week one of my arrival I was fed... raw chicken, beef, squid, octopus and fish... not to mention cow tongue, pig's neck and heart.

Thanks for the video TC it was amusing as ever.

[tokyocooney]

Hard Liquor: kid tested, doctor approved cure for all that ails you.

[sailormoonFan25]

hey tokyocooney, DO u ever feel akward when people are looking at you filming? and have u gotten used to already filming in public? i saw some guy named fadedholysoldier who films in japan on youtube and has some crazy videos of him acting up, IN tokyo

[bfrance2002]

I worked in Meguro when I lived there. And I missed this museum. Dang...

I never got sick eating in Japan.

I did get something in Nepal though. The best way to deal with it is drink as much as you can of hard liquor. That usually kills the parasite. Then when I got home, I ate yogurt and Metamucil to fix the bacteria in my intestines. Sorry. That was more serous than I meant to get.

[outlaw345]

Hahahh very funny "Hard to tell if I had it.." Comedic Gold... or maybe truth?? Who knows

[spacygoldfish]

damn, those two girls in the background don't even know that their whole conversation at a cafe made it on YouTube...lol

[bluetonya]

omoshiroii desu nee!!!!

[neocoyo]

yet another place to not go to when i go to japan

[tommyhotie]

oh yeah.

great tips on where not to go!! ahaha

i dont want to be discusted!!

[TheTonberries]

COONSTER

[tokyocooney]

TheTonberries, I love your comments BTW. Also love your music. Keep it up.

[Djbluskye]

ahahahahahahahahahahahah Awesome job cooney, uve done it again!

[mikezx2]

OMG i dont think i can watch this, freakin me out sorry..

[Kiradance]

I think I saw my ex-boyfriend in the background there. Oooooo. *Scary Flashback*

[Arffyou]

Why is this guy not on tv yet?

[elaurenta]

I KNOW

[claureno]

Now that is a great question.

[tokyocooney]

At any higher resolution Im pretty certain my videos would be unwatchable. Im alot better looking when Im grainy and blurry. Also, I think TV is not ready for my vlogs on elephantits.

[maneneko]

Incredibly educational and aptly titled!

[NoSolicitingTV]

Ha! I saw that museum online and meant to go while I was there... Glad I got to see it through your video.

[WatchTokyoDV]

Great video! Very educational.. But you didn't mention the positives of elephantitis; high demand in p0rnos and circus freak shows. ;)

You have some quality videos. Keep up the great work!

[Noxp]

Great video, thanks!

[Yokixx]

Interesting subject! Kinda wierd but definetly insteresting. Thanks for the great vid!

[Niiickoh]

Wow.

Lol. Thanks for the info. :D

[GanjouKigi]

umm... what was the big penis thing??? My jaw dropped when i saw that.

[tokyocooney]

Your jaw dropped... hmmm... I hope thats not the reaction you always have when you see large... umm... nevermind.

[hhanyu]

The first thing I noticed was that you interviewed Japanese in Japanese. If I am not wrong, this is the first time you did so for YouTube. Thumbs-up! So, which parasite is your favorite? I'm eating, but don't be shy. It's OK, you can tell me.

[tokyocooney]

Yeah, id like to interview more japanese, but I am a little shy. Also I feel strange asking strangers to appear in my videos. Even if it is unintentionally like the girls i the coffee shop. Im pretty sure half my viewers were trying to ignore what I was saying so they could hear their conversation.

[eyxyelhsa]

another great & informative vid. thanks for spending your time to make them...they really make me want to visit japan!

[mereldanh]

Thanks for another great vid! kiss kiss "leech off my parents" hee hee

[lon21]

IIE interesting informative and entertaining, 5 *s

what's with eating the sushi with y
