30 Rock Japanese Intro

[jimlapbap]

This is not the intro, it's a promo for the show. Saying things like "A hit in America" and describing the plot like a trailer.

[HeNeedsAKidney]

@jimlapbap What else does it say?

[jimlapbap]

@HeNeedsAKidney 1. "A Bit hit across America!  Emmy and Golden Globe winner!!"

2. (the sign) "Female TV Writer in Distress!" (literally, "Broadcasting Woman Writer" and "Now in a struggle")

[jimlapbap]

@jimlapbap 3. "She runs the show" "but" "she can't run her life" (Literally, "During the live program, she is confident," "but" "outside of work her heroism is weak")

[jimlapbap]

@jimlapbap 4. "Her daily life is unscripted" (Literally, "Day by day, the match/battle continues without rehearsal.")

(Sticklers might argue my interpretation, that's why I wrote the literal)

[Clif000]

Because it is a different country with a vastly different culture.

[familyfunny]

I don't get it. The original had absolutely no lyrics. Why not just use the original and write everyones name in Japanese?

[PunchSydeironReviews]

Needs more anger crosses, sweatdrops, and gratuitous upskirt shots.

[hirasawaa]

japan, get your shit together

[30RockFan1]

@gamejesusyeah This guy stole your video! And he didn't even have sound...

[thunderboba]

awesome music though :)

[LiamX61]

@thunderboba What song is it?

[SexyChck7821]

my butt is so sore lol wtf!

[foreversapphire]

Can someone please explain how they missed the point? I've only seen a couple of episodes.

[ewgwf]

@foreversapphire They made it look like it's all about hot girls and guys chasing after them, but really it's just about a team of comedy writers and their adventures.

[foreversapphire]

@ewgwf thank you!

[psyshock918]

Cerie's butt :D

[SCHWARZENEGGER55]

This show plays in Japan?

[slothgooey]

the japanese word for thirty is a lot longer than the English version

[Kotjze]

@slothgooey Well not really. It's not the Japanese word; it's the English word spelled using Japanese characters. The titled reads "sātī rokku" which is pronounced somewhat like the English version.

The English word is "thirty", 6 letters. In Japanese they have "サーティー", 5 characters, and when romanized becomes "sātī" which is 4 letters. And finally, the actual Japanese word for 30 is "三十", "san-jū".

[hellkittenproduction]

I wouldn't see anything wrong if it weren't for the music... it's just scary! I'm just waiting for hanna montana to jump out with a chainsaw and start killing everyone the whole time.

[hellkittenproduction]

makes me wonder what other people in other countries think about the show ideas we take from them and use.

[TheChrisJStone]

There's a difference between "missing the point" and recreating an intro to adapt to different tastes in a new culture, guys. This happens all the time in localization, and both ways.

[Atemporal]

They gathered all the zany clips together to grab the attention of the japanese audience, I don't see what's off here.

[pethcir]

i want to go to there.

[garrettwarshaw]

So do they change the jokes about her crushing and embarassing loneliness so they can continue to portray her as a sexy heroin as they do in this ad?

[TheNerdyCanuck]

It makes it look like the world's strangest porno

[inivonwini]

@TheNerdyCanuck That's a given. It's the Japanese version.

[Enzempiro]

I think i'm missing the point of how the Japanese are missing the point. To me this is just a clip of some of the funniest parts in the show.... I'm confused.

[manwhofelltoearth]

@McKack

best comment xD

[sharpezor]

what IS the point, i don't watch the show.

[inivonwini]

@sharpezor The show isn't full of scandals, naked people, sex, and hot girls.

[TheMartini1234]

Lolwut

[Mogernaut]

How come the number "30" is almost three times as long as the word "Rock"?

[MrOmniblast]

@Mogernaut

Because you can't translate the title of something, rather...you shouldn't. "To translate is to betray" lol BUT if they actually did, it would look like this 三十。ロック

PRoblem is, they're read it as "San-juu-Rock" lol...I hope you kinda get what I mean here...The way it's written, in the title is "Saa-te-i. Ro-ku" lol

[GlobalsoftPirka]

I didn't know they even had it in Japan... O_O

[McKack]

I love Salty Rock!

[inivonwini]

Couldn't stop laughing! They totally missed the point.

[jd55192]

@inivonwini What's the point?

[TicklesMeSillyYou]

i thought it was ok..

[redisbluetrogdor]

ain't no party like a lemon party

[33rosyposy]

@redisbluetrogdor cause a liz lemon party is mandatory!

[redisbluetrogdor]

@33rosyposy more like man on mandatory

[whateverdud666]

@redisbluetrogdor

It's not a Lemon party without old Dick...

[logisysmax20]

@redisbluetrogdor Because a Liz Lemon Party is mandatory.

[djangeldust]

i love me some Liz Lemon

[andrewstephenwalker]

This makes the show look so uninteresting. How painful.

[svufan9]

I actually enjoyed this. It's pretty awesome.

[rooster5man]

The longest 34 seconds of my life.

[miller18]

I forgot when Liz hit Jack with her shoe.

[strandedsig]

@miller18 It's a water bottle. Watch the pilot again.

[jasonescapist]

Holy shit. Talk about missing the point...

[ddovey]

why

[sp0rsk]

What the hell is this song?

[medicationoutofhere]

@sp0rsk It's Goin'All Night by 5 Alarm Music.

[feitclub]

YEEEEESH. No credits, even?

[fortysevenbteg]

Not too bad, actually. :)
