Sakura-Con 2009 Commercial

[debluemonkey]

Oh my god, wow!

[SPGoblivion]

GIRUGAMESH

[Kiensai]

This commercial makes me feel like they hate me. This commercial makes me cringe so much.

[drunken1agent2bob]

I like anime and manga just as much as the next youtuber, but this commercial makes me face palm to the point that there is an imprint of a hand on my face

[Skomakarn]

This is so incredibly embarrassing.

[ACluelessKid]

This embodies every horrible anime fan stereotype.

[Ybrethar]

GIRUGAMESH

[Dencell]

Is he refering to the anime Gilgamesh?

[SakuraConPR]

@Dencell He is refering to the Japanese Band Garugamesh who was a musical guest in 2009

[piplupsingularity]

should have said Hatsune Miku

[BriBriKinzz]

This makes me feel so uncomfortable. Lol

[tenou213]

Crying tears of confused rage.

[JamesSCassidy]

Hey, that women is Tiffany Grant.

[mattuiop]

WHY? HOW DID THIS BECOME FORCED MEME?

[Zeredek]

What do the dudes at 0:14 and 0:16 say?

[phils098]

America

[Pwn0r1]

Sad thing is I'm Asian and I don't know what girugamesh iia

[robikku990]

Oh man...I can watch this a million times and it'll still make me cringe...

[Mrkamikazeify]

That was awkward

[3JackBurton]

I LOVE SHUSHI.

ARRGH DDR

[EnDZYm3]

Thumbs up if you expected the chef to say something snarky.

[sushlet]

I want to forget...

[Neonman78]

Wait, how the fuck does this have more likes than dislikes?

[ki1ng]

Anyone not replying with "Girugamesh" is wrong.

[xxAusMadexx]

I used to love Japan, then I took a Girugamesh to the knee

[olisr]

Doesn't this vid just embarrass anyone who likes anime, or anyone from japan. I mean this is just so unbelievably terrible.

[Mahaveez]

I could think of many, many things to describe this 30-second spot.

"Successful advertisement" is NOT among them.

[matt10394]

Anyone know what Girugamesh actually is?

[christo2387]

I. Hate. This. Video.

[pagoogly]

GIRUGAMESH

[Zeolahn]

That Japanese man is ashamed that he must serve them for extra money.

[R370RD]

It feels like 50's once again!

[firefail1]

The awkward moment when people think they are talking about "Gilgamesh" it is actually the alternative visual kei rock band Girugamesh..hurrr

[TheFallingRaine]

What the hell does that kid mean when he says girugamash?

[SakuraConPR]

@TheFallingRaine He was refering to the Japanese Rock band who was a guest as Sakura-Con 2009

[Chrisishere96]

GIRUGAMESH!

[MatthewSSherman]

A classic.

[eins2001]

OH GOD SO BAD

[Nek0byte]

*forehead smack* -_-

[Radhazardman]

At least Vic Mignogna tries to add cool points to this.

[Blad3sofWaR]

Did anybody know that was Tiffany Grant at the beginning of the Promotion?

[jimmervision]

SMILE DK!!!!

[farfanugenmaster]

why does it look like it was made in the early 90s?

[darkwarrior696]

This made me stop watching animu

[Animurh]

GIRUGAHAMSAhA

[laimaPorsiempre]

TOTAL EPIC FAIL ! :D :D

[MattitudeSupporter]

Come on guys this commercial is a joke!

[hisokamurasaki]

*ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

This makes me want to just...... gah.

[AtheistBuckeye]

GIRUGAMESH

[Sploog321]

GI-RU-GA-MESH!

[SpikeCuervo]

JAY-RAWWWWK

[RarityShy]

What does the little girl yell?

[LilBlueME]

@RarityShy Manga. Like those anime cartoon book.

[ObeIiskos]

@RarityShy J Rock. Like rock except japanese.

[SirQuote]

@RarityShy

"And MANGA!!"

[Antiformed]

@RarityShy Smile.dk, which is a FOREIGN BAND (not even Japanese), that has one or two songs in DDR.

[SakuraConPR]

@Antiformed They are actually the most licensed DDR band with multiple songs in DDR games.

[lgirisu]

@RarityShy J-rock, it means "Japan rock". Unless you mean the chick that said "manga" which is an anime comic book.

[RarityShy]

GIRUGAMESH.

[Minotauro79]

It just starts out bad when the lady can't even say "sushi" right at the beginning and it goes downhill from there lol

[tonadoro]

Anti Korean wave spread to Tokyo･Osaka･Nagoya･Fukuoka･Sap­poro in Japan.

As awesome as the 'Girugamesh' line is, 'and gaming' get me every time...

[TheBlackStar999]

You wan pray game?

[gaaracrimson24]

this is so funny!

[Puppy1625]

why are there so many dislikes?!! :(

[Eggxactly]

The fact this is a real commercial makes me so, so, so incredibly sad. I weep for the asian, who, god forbid, is actually japanese and have to watch the essence of his nation's culture so crudely warped in this way.

[92Payka]

@Eggxactly No, you see most people actually have a sense of humour. Unlike you.

[EvaSharms]

SMILE DK

[Aitherion]

I still think the funniest part about this is that smile.dk is Swedish.

[MisterStinge]

@Aitherion Uhhh no. They're Danish. As in Denmark. As in dk.

[VaderIsDaSHIT]

I LOOOOOOVE SUUUSHI. SSSOOOOOO GOOOOODD.

[Calcifer222]

Now, for Gilgamesh...IT'S MORPHING TIME!!!!

[LaromZenshin]

Not sure if trolling, or incredibly stupid..

[killerseven007]

Girugamesh!

[JeisonKen]

The year was 2009, the dawn of a new evil. Japanese animated cartoons (anime) and Japanese graphic novels (manga) were becoming immensely popular in the West, most prominently North America. Life was good for a time as many kids, teens and adults alike were taken in by the imports from the East. However, not too long afterwards, some people took things too far...

Sakura-Con 2009: Rise of the Weeaboos.

Rated R.

[HeraltekX50]

what does the girl say after someone said something that sounded like tea ceremonies?

[HeraltekX50]

Smile DK is British. just saying. I think they're mentioned here because most of their songs were in DDR at some point

[alexpuddin]

This commercial made me lose my faith in humanity.

[LaughJester9000]

WHY

WHY DOES THIS EXIST

WHY GOD WHY

[SpottedleafCCRVMK]

AND GIRUGAMESH!!!11111111-

I'm quite embarrassed to be living in Washington now. Very, very embarrassed.

But, honestly, AND GIRUGAMESH!!11 has become my new catchphrase.

[TheMooseofBattle]

@SpottedleafCCRVMK When did they start with this? I lived in Seattle from 2003 to 2006 and I've never heard of this convention.

[SakuraConPR]

@TheMooseofBattle This year is the 15th aniversary. We moved to the Seattle Convention and Trade center in 2007 I believe.

[IwrestledTomCruise]

I never knew there were commercials that fit stereotypes perfectly for anime. This made my day and it's only 9:30AM.

[KandiTofu]

Sakura-con IKIMAAAAAAAAAASU.

Is that even proper grammar?

[DragonScion]

@KandiTofu Yes it's correct, but i bet he's cringing inside when filming this.

[KiAce2]

@DragonScion missing a particles, and for supposedly formal speech the subs said something very different and informal.

[stanloy]

I can't unsee T__T

[ShockerRed]

Haven't laughed that hard in a while. Everything is wrong with this.

[lawlitachi]

[Noctis2525]

[kleptonica]

It's stereotypes like this that make me embarrassed to like Japan so much. -_-;

[Fujiolo]

GIRUGAMESH!!

[spacEMOuse12]

[mikelad777]

This actually is a horrible advert, and I'm quite fond of many aspects of Japan.

[shinobi67]

@ReloadPsi Why is it so horrible?

[dandie333rea]

I didn't know the man said "gaming"
