Japan-glish!

[9snaker]

Wow Okinawa again!?! oO

This City is flashing me over and over again!!

[9snaker]

COCK HAHAHA

[EWGFus3r]

this has to be the best playlist

[TachieBillano]

I was a little girl in the early 80s in the Philippines when Japanese school pencil cases with incredibly complicated multiple drawers (front, back, sides, and even more when you opened it up) were all the rage with Filipino girls.

Occasionally we'd see the odd Japan-glish phrase printed on those pencil cases. "Me and you have happy together" or something like that, and a drawing of a blonde girl with huuuuge limpid pool eyes, lipless mouth, and (sometimes) no visible nose. LOL, memories.

[PassTheFruit]

cock is good dipped in tea.

[hopehope1537]

lol cock kids snack,,,,somehow chef is also called "kokku" by some ppl here in jpn.

[BrittLovesGlam]

I love the Asian markets!!!!!!!!

[MEANmadMATT]

Makes me wonder how much we mess up the japanese language ( tatoos and such)

[vettefreak89]

By far my favorite playlist of your channel!

[stufal]

wow I remember seeing random English on T-Shirts when i was in Tokyo a few years ago

[AnimeLiam]

That Pocky which says "Brings a whole new flavor to fun" isn't even English, it's American-English cos it should be "Flavour" if it was proper English >:(

[SwRRt3]

I like how the Japanglish, or Engrish used in other countries reflects what WE sound like when we try to use Japanese or other languages without... ACTUALLY knowing them... (I've spent nearly 4 years of my life teaching myself Japanese, and I still don't like using it intermingled with English, it seems disgraceful almost... Eg; adding "Desu" at the end of something or saying "Oh that looks 'kawaii'" Just not my style, I guess. ^^;)

[HappyMasterChief]

that sucks... im gonna need to eat bitter chocalate...

[Anonimouse52]

"Miika-chaaaan, it's time for your cock snack~~~! Oiishi ne?"

"Cock daisuki desu~!"

-___-

[sk8rguy4life1123]

i cant feel good for japan's english...cuz nothing succeeds, and life can be confusing

[1958boomergirl]

OMG! Those poor people are so innocent when it comes to using English! (LMAO)

[liewchengyeh]

hmm...

it sounds like the owner of the company, "Created-the-delivery-company-­in-a-spur-moment" (based on how it sounds like after directly translate Eng-chinese-eng, with slight arrangement.....Chinese & Japanese share some similiarities in grammer)......

[Froastwolf]

GET!



[whoo689]

OMG! The word "cock" on a kids' snack?? I can't stop laughing! Oh, god. I'm tearing up so much from that.

[Midnightryder7]

Last night while i was at my local grocery store i saw a package of dry soup..(the kind that you just add hot boiling water to)..it was called Cock soup and it was made by the Goya company..(think it's spanish)

[parrish001]

Why is their 'men's' Pocky??

I don't get that one...

[KasuganoAkira]

it's because japan isn't very multicultural so people like to see things from another culture and it's fun to check up on your junior high school english in the highstreets(as long as your friend doesn't think cock is a type of bird when they see it in a pet shop window) XD

[caridyer13]

LOL!!!! Wonder what "cock" tastes like? Guess we're gonna have to ask the kids in Japan. LMAO

[LisaBaby67]

Pocky sticks are good! LOL They sell them at the local Chinese restaurant here.

[LogiForce86]

Cock is also a different word for Rooster. But ehm... nobody uses it. Same with gay being used as a different word for happy. :P

ps. google gaylord. ghehe

[Cuppedycupcake]

I have a picture of the men's bitter chocolate pocky. haha. They sell that here in the states at some oriental grocer's.

[xXIzelhXx]

Ponyo!!! :D

[guguigugu]

i recently bought a very cool hoodie with some japanese written on it in kanji. i put a pitcure of it on some forum asking anyone to translate. you guessed it, it didnt make any sense :)

so i guess this goes both ways. if a japanese tourist sees me wearing it when they visit my country, they'll be just as confused as i'd be reading japanglish signs in japan :)))

[Animehem]

i wonder if its the same in american because many people have japanese writing on there products/ skin here in arizona

[manufacturedfracture]

if you see the truck then his business is going good

[stevelysteve]

What in the world? Men's Pocky? Can men not eat regular chocolate? xD Haha, sorry I just found that amusing.

The one on the back of the truck...perhaps it's akin to one of those "since 1950" kind of phrases? Like they're trying to say that they "put together" the distribution company...in that time? Still makes little to no sense either way.

[k0mpassi]

please, could you share your cock with me? :DDDD

i love my fun with a flavor!! ;)

[koki1310]

I want a cock cookie!

[forrestgumby]

It is hilarious when Japanese wear something that says something inapproprite and they don't realize what it says. Until you actually tell them what it means. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH?!?!?!?!"

[noodle0912]

Oh my gosh, it's Ponyo! :D

[kimchisamlice999]

cock is another name for a rooster.

[DrPsilocybin]

@kimchisamlice999

We know, in that case it was just bad English on the Japan's part, but is it appropriate to use semantics to make a joke on a kids cookie, in the US?

In the US if there where a kids cookie that said just said "cock" on it, as in rooster, would it be forced to change?

What if there was a famous cartoon character who's name was "Dick", would you mind if your son asked you for a "Dick" action figure, right after seeing the commercial about "Dick" toys?

[omgbanana22]

ah! ive seen that men's pocky at a grocery store near me! i knew i wasn't making it up to my brother XO. (well that was when it was imported from japan, now the have americanized it so its just dark chocolate pocky :( )

[Sarah01181225]

The first thing, cookie thing, I couldn't understand, what is wrong?

The words on the back of the truck don't make any sense.

Hello Fishing? What does that mean?

Why don't they hire some Japanese here in Ytube who speaks English well?

[m0notone]

@Sarah01181225 Oh, it's wrong in so many levels to have a child eat some "cock".

And he just said that the companies dont care about it making sense to English people. It's all about the meaning of the words

[Sarah01181225]

@m0notone HAHA, I thought it was written as cocx. I couldn't figure that out what it means by "cocx"

Thank you for clearing it out for me.

I really need a new pair of glasses...^^^

[HeWhoLovesTheWeb]

haha cock made me laugh. I can just imagine a japanease kid saying "im going to get some cock" O.o

[cr4yv3n]

@HeWhoLovesTheWeb rofl

[Sckye]

LMAO! Well... most of our words do have more then one meaning. XD Cock... I hope their talking about the bird and not the cough...

[Chuloloc]

Interesting. I think that the sign suggests that the distributor of the company put his time and energy into the work. You know, even though the Japan-glish many not be easily understood, it's all good. The Japanese can do no wrong.

[xxxAlesanaFan4everxx]

wtf mens pockys? pocky is my weakness my favorite one is the strawberry one yum!! I'm so glad I can find it here in the u.s at asian markets haha I would die!

[taylornate2]

I think the truck thing means they deliver on time?

[CordyBear1]

Ponyo!

[Detor2]

Yea I just love seeing these "mixed-wording-typo things" ^_^... thanks .... 5 Stars

[alpgedik1989]

courtesy of google translate i guess :S

[brywic28]

they need people like you to fix all japan-glish (engrish) in japan...

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@brywic28

They dont want to fix it :-)

[Namaechan]

@TheJapanChannelDcom It's kind of charming, isn't it?

[whoo689]

@brywic28 WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! If we corrected it, then Mr. Silly Old Dude here wouldn't be able to make these awesome Japanglish vids! :P

[kaliazzura]

@brywic28 It doesn't need fixing. This is great comedy, trust me! I'm an English teacher and if it weren't for the laughs I get in reading these kinds of things, I don't think I would still enjoy the job after 12 years... ha ha This is one of the beautiful things about language and culture.

[pieface15]

Dessert pocky FTW

[souljafanO]

lol gotta love a packet of cock :P !!! LOLLOLOLOLOL

[fantaasia2]

I like bitter chocolate,but since i am a girl, would it be weird i bought a pack of Men`s Pockys?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@fantaasia2

not at all  :-D

[moxxfactor]

pocky is the branding for sweet flavoured pretzel sticks, pretz is the brand for savoury ones. you can probably get "beer pretz" in many north american japantown stores. it's actually chicken stock flavoured and quite good, to go with beer.

[HappyApe]

I wish i could see that in japan with no stupid siblings of stupid teeny bop disney stars

[HappyApe]

PONYO!

[mishels]

Perhaps the last one about the distrebution company means:

This distribution company, which I present to you (made for you) delivers on time (in the time alloted).

[Revenization]

GET!! Hello pocky....do you know cocky?

[couturefruityy96]

Cock was correct XD it's another name for rooster. They probably just decided to use THAT name for it because they didn't know about the..erm... provocative double-meaning.

[ImIwilliamImI]

0:28 'Ponyo on the cliff by the sea'' ???

[uglyengineer]

They way Japanese try to use English gives something of an insight into the culture. "Happy time..." and "Relaxing (etc)", lots of peaceful verbiage, so on. Interesting.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Yeah, all about getting our peace and harmony on :-D

[animenexus6]

Engrish!

[mitternacht07]

It`s like French and British people always mixing French and English ...it`s hilarious!!!!

[hitachi088]

@mitternacht07

they dont say COCK , they say COQ

[shockferret]

Maybe that truck at the end is owned by Morris Day.

[TheVGReviewer]

LMAO packet of "cock"

[c0y0tito]

I guess the guy from the truck at the end meant something like "The Distribution company that delivers on time" :p

[ConfusedHobbes]

lol crazy stuff man.

[mitternacht07]

cock !!!!! can`t stop laughing...I guess the meant Rooster!!! ....ha,ha,ha,ha, mad laughing....

[K9LLL]

COCK rofl

[9056666]

i wonder if the cock taste good XD

[mashi384]

fairly entertaining video but...

why is this a responce to NIGAHIGA BEATS FRED! - SEX TAPE MCBORING! - ABORTION BABY! - TV RECAP! ?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Because the way youtube works, a video about a real ninja house or a real robo-cop, or a giant toilet that people disappear down (videos I made) dont get seen by hardly anyone - because I am in Japan..

But a video of some 14 year old vlogging about nothing will get 50,000 views if it is posted from America.

I am just trying to show my videos to the high profile vloggers to try to get some support.

[mashi384]

ah >_> of course.

[cnoq8]

"But a video of some 14 year old vlogging about nothing will get 50,000 views if it is posted from America."

You are absolutely right!!

[gtpluvr]

Pocky is awesome...chocolate on pretzels!

[uglyengineer]

Yeah, Pocky (strange name, but that how they do it there...) is a great treat. I think they make all kinds of sticks, I know there's a strawberry flavored one, who knows what else. I've only seen the chocolate one in the states. I guess we're lucky to have access to that one.

[ExplosiveBoring]

I saw the strawberry one at my local nerd store.

[j3ssica0o7]

Ha-ha,

you're right..xD

it IS definitely weird...LOL

xx mai♥

[LivingDog94]

The basic problem is that Japanese is a contextual language while English is an object language. We use context but wrapped around things. They use context, but not stated in the sentence.

The distribution company which I put together in the time = I created and built this company up over time.

If I am right send me some MEN'S CHOCOLATE!

(BTW, "cock" = rooster. It must be their penis flavored candy.)

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Nicely explained, man.

You are right, of course.

Except it was penis flavored cookies :-D

[dex1lsp]

Men's Pocky is the best Pocky of them all!

[rurihoshino18]

i ruv engarish <33

[soley111]

The distribution company which I put together in the time=

(just a guess) The dist. co which I created myself= I am a self made man/millionaire.

Nice, if one can achieve it. :)

[helpmefindparents]

I have that same message on the back of my truck, but I wrote it by hand.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

That would be a work of art!

I can just imagine!

[FataIize]

I still don't understand why Japanese choose words like that. There's a Japanese company,  which produce hankerchiefs, called Partouze. This actually means in French : Gang Bang. Well ...

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Gang bang?????

That is a classic!!

Have some more coming this weekend!

[FataIize]

I wonder if this company knows what it actually means ^^

[AyuChan90]

looove it! xD

the "cocks" are great! ;D

[DemonofChaos264]

Lol chocolate for bitter men! Great video, recomended it to my Japanese friend.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Thanks!

part 2 coming this weekend!

[Afro3200]

i cant stop laughting after pop sweat xD

[frostseasons]

Blame it on Google translate

[TheTwelfthDoctor]

I think it means something like ;

This is the distribution company which i build in my lifetime, and i'm proud of it!

yea something like that...

[AbortedSheepFetus]

Aahaha oh man, the logo on the back of the truck had me cracking up!

[ELIIE1]

lol funny

oh and i think that quote means or says that the owner is proud of being able to put a distribution company that took time an dhard work to do

[xmadteaparty]

ponyo on the cliff by the sea!!! <3333333 i love that movie i love their boss thingy the human i dont remeber his name but the one with striped clothes and red hair he looks like aerosmith :D

[meatwad10000]

while watching this i was eating some kinda Japanese chips. they were crab flaverd and they were pink :D

[Idiomaron]

If you know Japanese and English well enought, it looks like you won't be out of a job in Japan, although what would the world be without Engrish?

[Joeisreason]

PONYO!!!

[Pinkwatermellon]

ohgoshh. XD Funny funny.

[KunoichiKira]

...also i really wouldve laughed if instead of mens bitter chocolate, the pocky box said " bitter mens chocolate " ;D

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

funny!!

"I hate women! I have had enough! I feel like some chocolate!"

[KunoichiKira]

or just in the sense that bitter men eat them, lol

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

I got you!

That is what I meant !!

Chocolate for angry, bitter men!

[KunoichiKira]

rofl! thats hilarious! thanks for sharing.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Too easy!!

Thre is loads of it here!

Just making another one now!

[KunoichiKira]

awesome, cant wait to see it. (:

[pachil92]

Lol at the snack things for children

[LeahEatsYou]

Oh god, bless toughs poor children. I'd never eat anything with the word "cock" on it! Haha. :]

[fromsevenseas]

they eat "cock"tails on parties, eh?

[PoisonRemedy321]

Someone had to sit down and actively decide to put "cock" on those sweets. Who wants to bet they knew exactly what they were doing? "Hey, Tanaka-san, 10,000Yen says I can get a whole nation of kids to eat cock!"

Itadakimasu

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PinkSkiiTtLeZzYoanNa]

@PoisonRemedy321 LOL

[CMCMidnight]

Bitter chocolate pocky?

i like pocky but bitter chocolate?

is it good? lol

5/5!

[NekoNinja454]

poor children that eat that food, lol

[MTBrodog]

fist everything
