  • This is one place were the older the person, the more safe I feel.

  • After watching this I don't want to risk my life trying fugu. I think my friend ate this and he was fine.

  • now I wanna try the fugu lol

  • Tom was the lucky one, they send dick and harry to japan on the same mission and they never came back after that ...

  • I'd eat it and brag...

  • Does it taste so that it is worth risking your life? I doubt it.

  • Video Response: "Royale with Cheese" is very, very good.

  • they are so weird the japanees

  • the only fucking solution is DONT EAT THE FUCKING POISON FISH

  • that's some super chef

  • I bet that fish doesn't even taste good. It is eaten for bragging rights.

  • @ar2110302 don't knock it til you've tried it

  • I ate it, flavorless and rubbery :/

  • @xuserxd2 Does it taste like a rubber band? If it does, i will NEVER eat Fugu.

  • would not eat it for a million bucks

  • @get1modernwarfare2 At least you would die a very rich man xD

  • The thumbnail looked like a knife going into weird vagina.

  • It can kill you if you dont COOK it right i think.

  • @powerofsonic its hows the puffer fish is cut not cooked

  • Is it expensive to eat a Fugu meal like this one?

  • @asspunchquarterpound It is very expensive, a couple hundreds for a plate.

  • im hungry for some tilapia

  • "TsuKUji"???

    TsuKIji!!!

    Ki not Ku.

    Get it right! You ARE a professional narrator, right? National Geographic DID do their homework, right?

  • i would lol if he died

  • 8 courses of potential death? O_O

    Also, the chef took the exam in 1949. I'd like it if he took a more recent exam again.

  • Charlie the unicorn brought me here

  • These sea monkeys are true ocean pigs. They'll eat anything that swims.

  • this is easy to avoid, DONT EAT IT.

    What ever happen to fried chicken, poutine, fertalized egg.

  • @butteryassryan We don't really like unhealthy food like KFC,

  • 240p we meet again..

  • You know, I wouldn't feel safe to see that the guy who prepare my fugu has glasses that looks like these... I prefer a chef who can see... just sayin'...

  • just don't eat it and then you won't DIE. simple as can be!

  • i love food from all over the world and i eat almost everything except insects, dogs and a few more things but come on, why would i want to risk my life for a fish, knowing that it is poisonous.like the old say "there is so much fish in the ocean" literally, why choose the poisonous???stupid people

  • @Zigats I don't.

  • It numbs your mouth like jambu leaves or coca leaves. If you hate novacaine at the dentists dont try it

  • I wonder how they found out which parts are poison and which aren't.

    Trial and error??

  • @Linnas79

    They tried it on animals. Sad, but a necessary evil, all foods were tried on animals first since man existed.

  • "So ugly it's cute"

  • lol i caught one in south korea by the beach!

  • The white dude banged that japanese chick after dinner and screamed FUGU!

  • Grilled Fugu!

  • rich fish

  • only fat dumasses risk their lives by eating poisonist things

  • i have no idea why would they want to sell such things that could cause bad health~_~ i think i would never eat things like that...

    and people DIE! because of this .

  • My daddy's nickname is Fugu (:3)

  • do they use fugu fish in sushi? someone pleeze anser me...

  • @lolzlife7827 well fugu is a entire different fish, or category of sushi itself. In your common Sashimi ( salmon, tuna, scallop), or maki rolls, you would never get fugu in it. If someone did, it would be like sneaking caviar into mac and cheese.

  • @lolzlife7827 Has someone answerd you yet?

    If not rest assured no they do not put fugu fish in sushi its illegal.

    Cheff can only serve fugu fish as a main course alone otherwise they'd go to jail or get fined.

    Plus like you saw in the video only licensed cheffs can even prepare them for a meal.

  • White folks are so dumb!

  • @DICKSONWAN Racist?

  • fuuuuuuuuggguuuuuuuuuuu (lol)

  • If I'd only die from food, I'd rather eat at mcdonalds everyday; if I die from eating fastfood everyday, at least it takes me a longer time before I die. Which means more time to spend doing stuff that I want. If I eat that fugu fish and it's not carefully prepared, I'd die... IMMEDIATELY. That will give me only a few seconds to do anything I wanna do. XD

  • @giannine18 also besides what the other guys said it slowly paralyzes you and gives you about 6 hrs at the most before you die (but the last hr may be hard to move) so at the most atleast you got 5 hrs..

  • Whats better,

    Dying instantly by eating raw fish,

    Or, dying by eating mcdonalds everyday

  • @Mega911Gamer depends what you order at mcdonalds. if i eat a big mac everyday, i would die of hear attack. if i eat the mcdonalds salad, i'd probably live longer.

  • @Mega911Gamer DYing instantly by raw fish WUT THE ive been eating raw fish for years!

  • Hey, I didn't know that the Dalai Lama was a chef aswell...

  • @toiletscrubbr 25,000 death? you must be talking about 2 centuries ago because reports state inm the past 20-10 years about 60 were poisened and about 15 did died and % keeps lowering, today chances of death is as low as skydiving

  • 0_0

  • y is it the chinese japonise (or how eva u spell it) indians eating shit like glass and bricks and this...

  • @bloodmoney967 Kid, you're like 6, act your age, learn some spelling and perhaps then, you'd be less ignorant

  • @Vyp3rX no im actually 11 so STFU BITCH!

  • @bloodmoney967 you do realise that the older you are, the worse your ignorance will be viewed right? :)

  • @Vyp3rX

    : l children nowadays are really disrespectful... I feel sorry for that kid's parents, or well at the same time I mean... He might learned it from his parents? :3

  • @xXStrawberryxMisaXx i dont wanna speculate, but yeah, i do feel bad for them :X

  • so ugly it's cute...?

    

  • does fugu realy taste that good that so many people died just to take the risk to eat it? it used to have 25,000 deaths a year from eating fugu fish? that makes japan look stupid haha

  • he's fucking after this dinner that's for sure.

  • Fuck that

  • Guys, it's not as bad as it may seem. As long as you go to a legit restaurant with legit fugu chefs, you're most likely going to be fine.

  • Chuck Norris eats them no problem

  • Man would thought all the whale meat they eat every year is enough. Nope, they even eat the toxic fishes.

  • I like meat that is cooked tasty.

    but I also like fresh seafood like this.

    They're both goo, but if the fresh meat is done right, you know it's gonna be very good for you :)

  • lol a bit stupit its expenive and it may be poisoned a bit like smokeing...

  • apparently fugu is afrodisiac, him and his friend might get busy ;)

  • you silly billy :)

  • isn't it pronounced "SAH-KAY", cuz in Japanese the E" in sake would be pronounced like A'--like italian???

    please correct me if i'm wrong ;A; i took a trip to japan for 2 years about a year ago and i would say sak-A.

  • its weird how asians eat exotic foods. ehh..

  • @MissyBright and what do you eat? mcdonalds?

  • @flamerFox veggie :)

  • when the narrator said, "and he brought his friend AKI" I was thinking she was mixing some Spanish in there XD

  • yeah poisonous raw fish..no thanks

  • Now all their alive fish are full of radiation. Time to eat hotdogs from the U.S.

  • hey look it's mrs. puff :)

  • what if the poision were to leak out and he cut his finger lol

  • DONT KILL PUFFERS 

  • that's the smartest thing ever

  • If it's poison why do they eat it crazy asians!

  • The only thing more scary while eating fugu is not being able to speak Japanese when you order it. It's actually quite flavourless and there are certainly better fish out there. Still, it makes for bragging rights when you get home!

  • Okay like, not to be that guy, but if a berry or plant or anything is poisonous dont people usually just leave it alone. Not try and find ways to eat it without dying. That seems like an unecessary risk. I mean if ur were on a different planet and one of your friends ate something that killed him, would you look at his dead body and then try some too? I understand its part of the culture tho. No disrespect

  • @tromboneman12321 I get your point but now days, as you saw in the video, specially trained chefs have licensees to carefully prepare the fish. Poisonous berries or plants are poison ALL over most likely and you wouldn't want to eat it but the fugu fish's meat can still be eaten as only a small part of the fish can kill you

  • @tromboneman12321

    lol if it's correctly prepared, the fugu will not kill you.

    but just to be safe either not eat it at all or go to specialized and experience fugu chef.

    xD

  • fucking humans eat everything.... including humans. damn you evolution!

  • Fucking asians eat anything!

  • thats  chuck norris snack

  • omg im never going tob toyko

  • nothing more than being insane.

  • @Zigats no its "Fuck U Fish"

  • They look cute in a fish tank.

  • 221 people died from fugu fish

  • When I am at my limit of my life span, I'm gonna go eat this. And I want the poison intact, I don't want the poison remove. Then I'd be the most stupidest man on earth with probably the biggest cojones. XD

  • Wait wait wait wait........

    What if they smoked it ?

    ha ha

  • A man died from eating fugu fish... his last words were: "Fug u fish"... get it?... lol

  • @Zigats WOW lol

  • @Zigats lol

  • @Zigats yeah but wouldn't he say it in Japanese?

  • @ChristinaWolfle A man died from eating fugu fish... his last words were: "淀んだ空気uの魚" Go google translate it... from japaneese to english :b

  • @Zigats i dont get it

  • @Zigats you genius XD +1

  • @Zigats ahahahahahahahahahaha faggot

  • @Zigats lol

  • @Zigats It's pronounced Foo-goo. FAIL.

  • @YoungPrune Haters gonna hate... :I

  • @Zigats Lollers gonna lol<3

  • I'll stick to salmon sushi....and gyoza

  • Nomnomnom choke die

  • 0:25 "what ya lookin at punk???"

  • lol if you go to china, they have lots of restuarants with these fish, for cheap price. its not just japan

  • @dragoonerzerg

    so who exactly said its only in japan anyway?

  • tokyo japan why do people fugu

  • there is really nothing to fear about, death from a professionally trained chef in a restaurant is almost 0% for the last 20 years (it takes 7 years of training by the government in japan to be a fugu chef).

    the deaths you read about are from people who catch and prepare it and eat it themselves because the poison will not disappear with heat.

    p.s. i have had it and it was disappointed because the fish is tough and has a very rubbery texture

  • I prefer pizza

  • Dude. you need to pass an exam to cook the fugu. It's not unsafe at all if you eat in a good restaurant.

  • I would not eat that unless i was 1 minute away from the hospital by a chef with a license

  • @ChristinaWolfle

    lol

    it's very delicious. if you come to Japan, please try it!

  • @4444yokohama25 I will visit japan in my lifetime(maybe even move there :D) so maybe I will try it but although its poison, us Americans eat poison each day!

  • @ChristinaWolfle Wait, if you're calling both food poison, you're calling them crap?

  • @JackOfBlades434 I was joking. Oh and isn't all food eventually crap?

  • @ChristinaWolfle haha, I would only try it with the licensed chef next to me, ON the hospital bed, surrounded by the entire toxicologist and ER team... and a side of soy sauce.

  • foogoo? looks good!

  • @FredMayX2 weird in a national geographic magazine it said skee-jee....

  • sukugi???? its pronounced skee-jee.... wtf

  • ugg they eat dolp[hins

  • Tom versus puffer fish. Round 2.

    Poor Tom..After the third piece he tried to say: "I can still breathe" but the effort was clearly too much for him as he collapses on the floor. Will he survive?

    His dinner partner says: "all is in God's hands", and yet puts 10 chrysanthemums in the vase for him as he's lying in the Emergency room on the ventilator.

    The doctor comes in and says, -Don't worry, I received my license in 1948, he'll be fine. Here's my license....

    Curtains

  • That Dolphin looked very delicious 

  • I just love Japanese chicks :O

  • I WANT TO TRY THAT!

  • I agree with the last person to respond.

  • How stupid can people be? Not only is it a waste of human life, they end up throwing out most of the animal itself.

  • FUGU!!

  • I would of went to the restaurant and eat some poison fish then fall down with my eyes open and pretend to die ahahaha

  • Akii is hot

  • shit some of these fish are the size of cows :)

  • japanese proverb:fugu wa kuitashi inochi wa oshishi(河豚は食いたし命は惜しし)

    I want to eat fugu,but I don't want to lose my life.

  • It's TSUKIJI, not TSUKUJI...

  • Comment removed

  • @ThecowSAYSshazzoo way to steal the fuckin joke loser!

  • Kinda sounds like "Death by snoo snoo" lol.

  • I was watching Les Stroud eat pufferfish of some sort on his new show Beyond Survival. It was on The Sea Gypsies Of Malaysia episode. They shot a puffer fish with a speargun yes thats right i said shot as in shikabobbed it, then a lady just hacked it up with a machete and made it into soup. Are ther non poisanous species or can you cook out pufferfish toxin? Why can't i find a video or instructions on how pufferfish is prepared?

  • @smartguy104

    There are non-poisonous ones, but they're produced by controlling the fish's diet. I'm not sure about "natural" non-poisonous blowfishes. Though I would say you're just playing Russian Roulette if you eat a Takifugu (the species of blowfish served as fugu) that got speared, puncturing the liver or the ovaries I would think would contaminate all the meat. As far as I know you can't cook out the poison either.

  • the pufferfish eaters are dumbasses , they have billions of different fish species , would hell break loss if they didn't eat that fucking puffer , they deserve whatever happens to them

  • Kerja cari mati!! Mampus anyone??

  • pufferfish poison can cause someone to be paralysed while theyre buried and when they come out theyre all funny because of the toxins so people think theyre zombies. its what the "sorcerers" used to raise their evil minions

  • @BeakyRed pufferfish was used to make "zombie dust" in the movie "Serpent and the Rainbow" too

  • Funny enough, they fail to mention the fish tastes bland and boring.

  • at 3:40 that would suck to die at a funeral from eating that

  • 1:13 DUHHHHHHHH!!!!

  • they better not find a cure for the poison, or eating it would be pointless. takes the whole magic away, yahknow?

  • someone needs to slip a raw one into justin biebers food

  • @secrown what if the ambulance get there in time? btw this is about Japan fish. if you wanna bag on justin bieber go to his videos

  • if you have to convince someone that its toxic but safe to eat thats a good time to say screw that

  • @PureLuckNoSkill only certain body parts are poisonous

  • Chef License, thats what America needs.. Err.. Thats what McDonalds needs.

  • people have to die of something

  • It all looks so delicious... I'd try it ;p

  • is it supposed to be really good? why would so many people risk their lives trying to eat it? has anyone had it before?

  • 10 to 100 people die from it in Japan every year.

  • i cant think to eat it...it is very very very dangerous...uffffffffffffff

  • its so cute!!!

  • insane delicacy.

  • how often somebody died from eating this fish?

  • if they know they shouldn't eat it. why do they still eat it.

  • I don't see anyone saying that the fish tastes particularly good. I'll settle for some grilled halibut. The chef got his license in 1949. Does he ever have to be retested? He looks a bit old and doddering.

  • damn japanese you scary

  • tsukiji, not sakuji

  • fogook

  • id love to have a meal like that in japan that would be sick

  • I want to eat a dolphin.

  • @NgonHua it called mahi mahi and taste like salty salmon

  • homer simpson survived
