Tokyo Breakfast [with Captions/Subtitles]

[roughy762004]

one of my favorite vids of all time!!! is there a hd version of this??

[gothicspoon]

The TV was in Chinese, while it was supposed to be a Japanese family. But I don't mind at all.

It's actually a somewhat accurate depiction of what the middle class youth are becoming in the east of Asia, learning only the whole "nigga in da hood yo" attitude. And this fad is growing fast.

[marqmike2]

I'm not sure exactly what to think of this... In the beginning they seem to be speaking Chinese on the TV, and Chinese folks do tend to say "niga" a lot, which means "that" in standard chinese but is often confused to be "nigga" by Americans.

The only thing that seems to imitate Japanese seems to be the girl talking on the cell phone.

[Anorhc]

@marqmike2 Did you even bother to read the video description?

[gothicspoon]

@marqmike2

Yeah it was in Chinese, and yes the Chinese do say 那个 all the time. It originally means "that", but now it's similar to the young Americans saying "like" all the time (as in "So it was, like, so cool"). And idiots do believe they are saying "nigga" though it's pronounced "nay-ge".

But it has absolutely nothing to do with this.

outch.. that's no way to tread a Bang and Olufsen System.. (use the button to open CD Player..)

[RainbowPens]

That was so hilarious , nigga! :D

[goingtoshopping]

I lived in Japan for many years and think this movie is funny. There is some truth to the attitudes expressed in this vid as regards Japanese misconceptions about American life. The funny thing for me is the poor Japanese the girl speaks. From 3:20 she says on the phone: Really? You saw the Brad Pitt movie? Cute....Really?...Talk to you later. Sorry. Good-bye.

Any Japanese watching this would immediately know these actors are not Japanese, and their katakana names in the credits say so too.

TOKYO BREAKFAST

Warnig: Some racial discrimination expressions are included in this film! It seems to have been produced in Japan. But it was actually produced in the United States. Naturally all actors are Americans.

Director: Mike Maguire and Tom Kuntz

is this vid made in 2000?

[YusukeChi]

What the funk?

[Anorhc]

Read description now.

[tensop]

I am a Japanese.

It is not possible for me to read the letter that the bag says it at the time of 0：28.

These letters were written by the person who cannot speak and cannot write Japanese language.

According to wiki, it seems to have been made in State of Ohio.

I cannot find the TV station, production company even if I search "japan one television" on Internet.

You should judge that there is not this "japan one television".

This video is an anti-Japan advertising program.

[Anorhc]

Try reading the description on the right side of the video and maybe you'll understand it better.

[tensop]

Thank you for your comment. I calmed down .

I did not read description well in excitement.

The first ,this video has a purpose to make fun of Japanese pronunciation.

The second, the Japanese seems to discriminate against a black every day.

The therd, the Japanese is satirized a characteristic to receive American common culture without criticizing.

The third does not have any problem. The first and second have problem.

[tensop]

I love freedom. You do not have to delete this video.

The video which you uploaded lets many japanese be unpleasant. And it lets many blacks misunderstand the japanese.

[DungeonSlayer100]

@tensop This is NOT an anti Japanese video. If you don't know your own culture, then I feel sorry for you.

[untokodokkoisho]

This movie was made by two American guys, producers Mike Maguire and creative Tom Kuntz. This is not a real Japanese TV show.

[DungeonSlayer100]

@untokodokkoisho That's where your wrong. This is/was a real Japanese show that aired back in the early 90's in the morning. Hence the name, Tokyo breakfast.

[hyaena1]

@DungeonSlayer100

No. It wasn't. It was a spoof created by Americans satirizing the way some Japanese view American culture.

[DungeonSlayer100]

@hyaena1 Again, your wrong. We can ague back and forth all you like. But what it boils down to, is that your not worth the spit your mother should have used to swallow the load you were in.

[hyaena1]

@DungeonSlayer100

Seriously? The best you can come up with is an insult worthy of a fifteen year old? I'm callin' troll.

[BrutalTortyr]

I didn't think the japanese could make good humor, but this is some fun shit.

[ShabbelleTiger]

...and then he beat the shit out of all of them...

Haha, I remember seeing this back in high school. Not as funny as then, but still pretty good.

[MinaMcKay]

Her report card is on CD? LMFAO

[eviltomnook]

Beetch, you ma numba one neega!

[MidoriMurasaki]

I'm noticing a certain theme to these phrases.....XD

[xkuassix]

LOL

[Xuulg]

What the fuck?

I haven't laughed this hard in weeks! Oh, Japan...

[tzone92]

It's not from Japan, it's from the Ohio Film Festival.
