Tsunami Rips thru Japan, Possible Nuclear Crisis

[Toxin08]

This sxephil episode resonates in me more than any other

[Crutiancookie]

i was in japan when it hit, really close to the nuclear plant, so i evauated...

[crzvlz777]

UM... A FUCKING ADD ON A VIDEO ON THE JAPAN QUAKE!?!!?!??!?!?! HOW DARE YOU

[LemmonQuiche]

@ZekeZeke80 bastards like you are the reason that there are wars and stupid conflicts. My grandfather in Japan was forced in the military where he has horrible stories about what it was like. If you could just think about being just 18 and being forced into a war, maybe you wouldn't be close so close minded

[LemmonQuiche]

I remember that day so clearly. I remember about to leave for school when I got a phone call from my mother sobbing. Half of my family lives in Japan and I have many friends there too. I was lucky enough that no one I knew got hurt, but this was very emotional to me and my family.

[sonfowler1127]

I want this video on my T919 phone.

[nillocthegreat]

@ZekeZeke80... You're kind of a douche... Just sayin'.

[organicstorm]

thank you phil. i know it's been several months since you made that video (obviously) - but i still wanted to tell. (;_;) i was in sendai during that time and i think it's great that seemingly unrelated people - like you and many others - were paying attention, raising awareness and helping from the other side of the world. although the video also made me remember stuff i try not to think off most of the time .. o.O

[CoolAidMan451]

@ZekeZeke80 Its idiotic self centered racists pricks like you that the world would do better without

[drhey1111]

dude I just cried from that Phil

[dpfrediscool020]

@zekezeke80 go die in a hole. Slowly and painfully.

[annabeth105]

i was watching this i started crying at the end god y u make me cry phililp defranco

[WilliamJsime]

Anyone got an Awkward Turtle? :S

[pirate1390]

@ZekeZeke80 why why are you so dumb? do you not have feelings? nobody can deserve what happened to these poor people what you say about Japan ANYONE could VERY EASILY say about America, Americans do terrible things every minute of the day, does that make you and me a terrible person that deserves to die even tho we didn't do anything? no it doesn't why don't you think before you say something incredibly stupid

[ZekeZeke80]

@pirate1390

Japs bayoneted babies and forced women into sexually slavery and stuck japanese flag poles in their fucking vaginas. It's called Karma

[Ridiciliculous]

@ZekeZeke80 Prove it.

[jen2471]

Aw phil you made me cry :,(

[BoschAndMooFactory42]

Goin deep there, Phil.

[KitCat2398]

I made a call and no one answered...

[bucklax31]

Phil this is why I subscribed to u, ur the man

[TheCavewomansVlog]

how can any of you say this? I live on treasure island of san francisco, in the heart of the bay, attached to the bay bridge, and my mother called me up balling her eyes out over 50 times until I woke up to answer, and she asked me if I was fine. She told me to get over into east bay, and not go to work over in sf, at all, for fear I might die. Phil has EVERY right to be upset.

[0870003343]

@ZekeZeke80 Hey mother fucking idiot. Rape is no where near as bad as a fucking nuke being dropped on 2 cities, just saying asshole. Btw, fuck closed minded people like you.

[ZekeZeke80]

@0870003343

Fuck you. They deserved to get nuked after terrorizing multiple other asian countries. They would torture soldiers by cutting off their dicks and shoving them in their mouths, they beheaded people, and bayoneted babies. 

[nfejnfreefffffffffff]

@ZekeZeke80

your the most racist shit hole i have ever met ,i just happen to have lived in taiwan and currently live in shanghai , chinese people have moved on they got over it , they raped ,and made sex slaves of both taiwanese women , what the hell is wrong with you , please go get the facts straight before you go on being a stupid ignorant racist bastard .

[ZekeZeke80]

@nfejnfreefffffffffff

When the hell did Chinese people make sex slaves of Taiwanese?

[nfejnfreefffffffffff]

@ZekeZeke80 not Chinese idiot Japanese go get an education before you start humiliating

yourself with your ignorant mouth

[FLYINGMANTA44]

@ZekeZeke80 They DESERVED to get nuked? Did hundreds of thousands of people DESERVE to die? Did little kids (Including my grandmother) DESERVE to get shot at by american planes on their way to SCHOOL? Did Tokyo DESERVE to get fire-bombed? World War II was a terrible time, and all countries did bad things.

[PiercingLy]

@ZekeZeke80 You're a prejudice idiot. No one deserves to have their home wrecked like this.

[ZekeZeke80]

@PiercingLy

Japanese were more evil then nazis

They abducted 200,000 Asians (also Caucasians), raped them 50 times a day & buried them alive to save bullets.

Japanese govt won't apologize to any of surviving sex slaves.

In 2007, Japanese govt org's bought 1 pg. of Wall Street Journal & filled it with LIES: (1) the females were whores who volunteered to service soldiers. (2) Japanese govt paid them more than Japanese generals

GOOGLE: Jan Ruff O'Herne - Japanese military sex slave

[Ezkblo]

@ZekeZeke80 Yeah maybe the Japanese people during the WW did those things, but what these tsunami victims do to deserve such " treatment ".. It's like saying GERMANY IS EVIL THEY HAD NAZIS! NO! The Nazis were evil not German people in general..

[singingtheshower]

@ZekeZeke80 dumbass

[Ridiciliculous]

@ZekeZeke80 Remember Agent Orange? The hundreds of thousands of innocents killed by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs? Fucking ignorant ass, wait until the States fall. You'll see what it's like to be on the receiving end.

[ZekeZeke80]

@Ridiciliculous

Fuck you. The Japs are brutal and sadistic. They deserved to get nuked. Do you know how many civillians they raped? Bayoneted? beheaded? Mutilated? Japs even buried people alive to save bullets. Japs hate non japs. Do you even know what Nanking is? Japs hate all non japs are refuse to apologize for any crime as they believe themselves to be superior. Fuck them. Karma's a bitch.

[Ridiciliculous]

@ZekeZeke80 Really? I know many interracial couples between Japanese and white people, and they're perfectly functional. How many innocent civilians has the US murdered? Again, I bring up Agent Orange (killing their own troops with that one), the torture of prisoners, and other war crimes, including sport killings and mutilation. Hell, the US didn't even get involved in WWII until they got bombed. You're just a racist, self-centered prick who can't come up with a valid argument.

[WillyVWilson]

@ZekeZeke80 This was all done by the Japanese military. The men, women, children, innocent civilians who lived in Hiroshima and Nagasaki never deserved to get hurt at all. I doubt the children in Japan bayoneted, beheaded, or raped the Chinese in Nanking. Why should you even mention the nuclear attack done by America in this video anyways, the Japanese did nothing wrong at all for 66 years. How dare you complain about Japan's racism when you are obviously no better.

[iGiveWedgies]

@ZekeZeke80 I see that there is another prick hating on japanese people. Who are you to say that this is Karma? You are essentially being the a racist cunt, saying that since a few people did this that they are all to blame. If one man did the most heinous crimes, would you blame everyone around him? So just fuck off and stop being a racist shithead.

[MrToofuu]

@ZekeZeke80 obviously if they're terrible people, they would have done something terribly wrong in the last 66 years right? oh wait, they havent... Do you feel no sympathy for anything? You're a sad sap...

[highway2snell]

@loki04sw Swedish faggot*

[SimplyJump]

It is pretty tasteless that the Next Video is "Olivia Munn & Hot Asians". One second your feeling really sad about all the tragedy and the video that pops up next ruins it all. Just my opinion.

[Derecco123]

gosh, it got really silent and serious real quick. that last comment really stick to my mind thanks phil for reminding how fortunate many of us are.

[sepsepsep12]

man that was rely sweet phil...dudes awesum :)

[MrRyanGC]

Well said sir, Well said.

[princessmoon299]

Some have today, some have tomorrow, and some don't even have that.....

[thebigplop]

IS EVERYONE HERE OBLIVIOUS? HE HAS ADS ON THIS VIDEO MEANING HE IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF THE DISASTER IN JAPAN. WHAT A DOUCHEBAG.

[animefreak873]

@thebigplop ever think their not ads but just pictures saying to donate?

[thebigplop]

@animefreak873 No he activated adsense on this video. Hence why there are ads on it and to the right.

[animefreak873]

@thebigplop well i have ad-blocker and if thats true then he is kinda a douche bag.

[Magykei]

@thebigplop It's his salary. Basically those ads mean he's being paid by the viewers to make his videos, which happen to inform people of what is happening in the world, just like a news anchor is being paid to talk about the same exact disasters. Why don't accuse every tv station of making off the disaster? Because it's their job. Same thing here. Phil is a great guy, don't try to hate on him.

[ConnorTheGr8]

@Magykei I was about to go off on thebigplop for being a dumbass but i think the way you said it was much better. Thank you for not being stupid

[thebigplop]

@Magykei I am filled with glee that he just made money off of the deaths of others.

[Magykei]

@thebigplop To not 'money off of the deaths of others', he would have to turn off the ads in almost all of his videos, since he mentions deaths and disasters throughout the world quite often. You don't seem to understand that being a Youtube partner full-time is not about "Oh, let's make money off of everyone, I'm so money-hungry", it's his JOB, no matter the events. Did you even bother to read my reply?

Oh whatever, I won't want to waste more time on someone who doesn't even try to understand.

[thebigplop]

@Magykei Thanks for explaining fanboy.

[Magykei]

@thebigplop How rude. You don't seem smart or funny with all your sarcasm btw, just annoying.

Goodbye, and I hope to never read any of your Youtube comments again.

[thebigplop]

@Magykei "Oh whatever, I won't want to waste more time on someone who doesn't even try to understand."

Hmm you continue to respond. Typical fanboy.

[jazzychill17]

best sxephil to date. still makes me teary-eyed

[tyguy5570]

Were dies he live??

[xsLayerish]

@girrocks12 lol jokes on you, I just like to wind people up who think that there opinion is worth anything, so why don't you take your opinion, write it down on paper and shove it up your ass. OWNED. Also I'm not reading your next comment so just don't bother, nerd

[xsLayerish]

@girrocks12 I'm not a fanboy, I'm just saying if you can't stand something on the internet, your just a button click away from getting away from it

[xsLayerish]

@girrocks12 what are ypu going to do about it? NOTHING

[raspberrykimochi]

I just watched this video today, May 28th, because I realized I hadn't when it was put out and I wanted to hear what you had to say about it.

When you mentioned the call from your mother I had to stop the video and let my mind wrap around that thought. Because I got a similar call, from my own parents on Skype, asking if I was okay, because I was in Japan when the earthquake hit, three hours from the epicenter.

Thank you for this video Phil, and reminding everyone to cherish loved ones.

[hapabubba]

Thank you so much for making this video, I've only recently left Japan to go to a boarding school in the UK and some of my friends are unfortunately leaving Japan permanently. It's heart wrenching because even if you haven't lost your immediate family and friends there is always someone nearby whose livelihood has been destroyed. My friend lost her grandparents to the tsunami in Fukushima and to think that there are many experiencing the same tragedy is awful. Arigato :)

[GarethH1]

wow Phil, hella real. btw, I heard the american red cross takes something like 90% of proceeds for administration costs, maybe thats BS, but I know the Japanese Red cross passes its admin. costs on to the Japanese government and gets 100% of proceeds to victims. So when you donate, look at stuff like that.

[BullsFanatic]

@gonculusgonculus great sadness we heard turkey with you my love? I am fairly sure that I need to get a new translator.

[partyboy290545]

I love how he ended this video. It really stood with me and shows a side of him he's not yet shown or that I've seen. And @TheZaurchik who are you talking to??

[TheZaurchik]

Fuck off man.....

[maggie2941]

@TheZaurchik Shut your ass douche bag

[mikew5795]

Wow the ending made my hairs stand on end nice to see some raw emotion in a news broadcast.

[keyana808]

My favorite of all his videos even though its not funny, its real.

[lyue1996]

@bornholmerpiger1927 Good! :D

[rustygrtom]

Nemesis : from the Greek mythology, it means Divine Justice and its for the thousands dolphins and whales that you have killed...

[HomicideKaede]

@rustygrtom If they got this just cause of a few fucking dolphins....then I can't imagine what some other countries will have to face when their Nemesis arrives....

[SuperEfren23]

Gods work :)

 /\ | 0_0 yup

[OhEllisx]

Way to put that into perspective Philip.

[Theprettygentleman]

maybe the dislikes for the video are for whats happening in japan? putting a better spin on the dislikes.

[JakeAcappella]

How do you dislike a video like this? For serious.

[MeloneSmile]

#prayforjapan

[shinystuffff]

You the man, Phil, you the man. Great message in this one.

[hairymanjoe]

@jenshu7 Some say natural disaster, I say population control.

[Ridiciliculous]

@hairymanjoe And I say conspiracy theorist.

[Theprettygentleman]

@hairymanjoe could you just shut your face you non contributing zero.

[F4C3M3LT]

for some reason, seeing phil go for so long without a cut, seeing all of his "um"s and "uh"s, and watching him turn off the camera was really really touching.

like a lot of other people have said, it was good to see your sensitive side. thanks for this.

[suberkin]

i always feel bad when i see this video in my favorites, with a headline like that :/

[thetagirl81]

Liked seeing the sensitive side of you. People should care more. Liked your message.

[SailorETB]

I spent 35 days as part of Operation Tomodachi sending food, clothing, and mainly water to the people of Sendai. It was amazing sitting out on the ocean every day after the event and looking out at all the ships that had rallied off the coast to provide as much assistance as we could to the Japanese people. At first you didn't really realize what it was going towards but as we moved closer to shore you began to understand. We had to navigate the ship through tons of debris. I love Japan.

[MonctonNews2]

The vid was good... but you suck balls towrads the end. You almost made me cry and I dont like that! :P Anyways.. love you and your vids keep em coming.

[tennsai2222]

my uncle died in that tsunami... it's a serious thing and it's still going on. I hear ya phill

[WWERocksfool]

This is really depressing I wanted to visit Japan mostly Tokyo because it looked awesome and I wanted to visit it but I can't now. This is very sad. :(

R.I.P to all the people who died in the Earthquake

and Bless all the people who lost their family members in the Earthquake

[morsvir]

I've been working my way backwards through your videos. Each one was fucking hilarious. I got to this one and was immediately sobered. I have so much respect for you.

[funnyhousefilms]

@morsvir same..

[gust3r3u1]

@morsvir respect for this video that has ads turned on and makes profit,u sir are a retard with no sense of humor

[morsvir]

@gust3r3u1 I see no ads, but even if I did, I see no reason to begrudge Phil for them. This channel is part of how he makes his living.

[leogalvin]

You're unbelievably irritating.

[WWERocksfool]

@leogalvin Are you talking about Phil if so WTF is your problem Phil is just giving his thoughts on the events that go on every day so STFU! Phil is awesome

[muzapstar]

Heavy man, Heavy.

[theneenjah]

[haroonfunny94]

[moronplanet]

@WholaTheHat Shut the fuck up you nab, I see your brainwashed motherfucker, your Obama is a tool he doesn't know the world history, so when you say I wouldn't want you representing my country means your an ignorant fool like Phil, he is a monkey.. In the last 20 years US killed more than 650,000 Muslims, every average person in Libya loves Gadaffi so stfu... Go support terrorist.

[theduderwiggysan]

You could tell that when Phillip mentioned the phone call with his Mum that he really did not want to continue this video........ but he did.

This is not a kudos to Phill, more a Kudos to Mankind. This shit hits us all in some ways.

Phill, you're a good man, love ya for it. Keep them coming.

[Hikosaemon]

I'm in Tokyo. The quake was big here but we were all fine. However, there has been so much going on that to be honest, I haven't really watched much youtube since 3/11. It's only really now that I am going back through my RSS to see what vids people made at the time.

Sxephil is the first channel I ever subscribed to on YT and inspired me to start my own channel. I always thought he made good vids, but I really appreciate this one more than any other. Allow me to proudly fave it.

Peace

[nagirnyakcom]

Watch this! Pray for Japan: youtube.com/watch?v=UL_gBqs1Um­s

You know how he has had the lottery contests in past videos and you have to like and favorite to be in that? Well I'm not really big on entering the lottery, but after seeing this video, I liked it and added it to my favorites because it touched my heart. Thank you Phil, and pray for Japan.

[XxNostroxX]

I just saw a couple videos from this guy.

Each of them have made me laugh, I went into this video not knowing what to expect.

I respect this man so much, he is such a awesome guy with great taste and an amazing personality. Can he please get his own TV show?

[eight216]

@XxNostroxX we need to start a fb groop or something of that sort on the interner to get this guy his own tv show

[calahanclary84]

@XxNostroxX i made an account, just to Like your comment. - what a down to earth guy!

[gingolightly19]

my thoughts and prayers go out to those in japan especially those brave people trying to fix what they can and putting their lives on the line for others. its amazing to see such heroism.

[Alavanderos]

I donated as much money as I could thanks to this video. How can anyone dislike this? People are in crisis and their lives are being threatened, pray for Japan.

[BlackHayateTheThird]

wow, such a serious video, totally had that moment where u could really feel ur emotions... thank you for ur words! I have a lot of friends in Japan, thankfully they're ok, but my friends' families are affected by the nuclear crisis, and one friend hasn't heard from her family from Sendai, the place that was directly hit by the tsunami... thanks

[playsbba018]

When I first heard about the tsunami, it was during Spring Break and I got the text while I was literally on a beach.....in Florida. So even though I was safe, I kept imagining, as I looked out into the Gulf of Mexico, a giant wave racing towards land and how terrifying that would be to actually witness. To know that in about two minutes you will be engulfed with water and you won't make it. It was 80 degrees outside and I was shivering...

[JCBparodysINC]

hey i make parodys of songs check out my chanell,  JCBparodysINC for some awsome parodys. there aren't many yet but there will be soon

[xoChantelly]

Wow, Phil. You're right, though. I can't imagine how many worried mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters made that call to a loved one, only to have no one answer. It's heartbreaking, the distruction that the world that protects us and keeps us alive can dole out so unsuspectingly. My thoughts go out to Japan, and all the family members that made the unanswered call.

[WhoIsTheHat]

@moronplanet why would you think it is even smart to say he's ignorant on a video where he's speaking in remorse? You're the only ignorant one here and whatever country you're from...you're a poor example of them and I wouldn't want you representing my country if I were them

[jaj5138]

why are there 993 dislikes that is wrong

[Sharod101]

@jaj5138 i'm assuming 997 people felt the aftershock and missed the like button.

not that i think a dislike or a like means anything to a video, but for a serious matter like this, if you have the twisted mind to dislike this intentionally, than by golly god, i hope the rest of your life is a living hell and that you will never see the light, and live the suffering of these people, and when your problem airs, we'll all be here to dislike it.

[marlonacampbell]

Gotta say that this is your BEST video EVER!!!! I have always liked your videos b4, but this one just connected with me. Keep up the good work, and I will continue to watch you all the time

[VegeKaKaGurl]

Finally got around to watching yer vids cuz I've been crazy busy lately. I've been watching the events of Japan fold out since the quake and it terrifies me. These poor people who have lost so much. It's a true tragedy.

And you captured that emotion completely. Fer a person that is funny, smart, and just completely amusing. You made me cry. T___T /hug
