Tale of the Washiki-Benjo: JFAQ114

[ciccarello]

so who here is gonna learn how to use 1 before going to japan? i no i am

[joejo69]

lol i think when i go to japan i will have to do a video about the tolets too lol lmaorofl

[JJuliet]

what a scary scenario. it's bad enough having the shits in America and taking care of your business in a public/gas station bathroom be your last resort, but this definitely can trump that situation. i love the collaboration video!! 

[chimera15]

Hahahahaha!

[bulletproofKevlar]

this is great man! you make me want to start doing videos soon

[HelbaRion]

I suddenly feel the urge to learn how to use one incase I find myself in need of it someday.

[TeachinginJapanGuide]

I myself like the "One pant leg over the shoulder" technique and the "F-it take your pants and BVD's off and hang them on the door" technique. No need stress about how far to pull down your pants ;-)

[shildrine]

Yay the old intro song :) Love it!

[muayjohn]

vv gd

[danbananhejsekran]

super awesome!

[MiyazakiKnight]

this is priceless

[ChopstixChi]

That's just awesome!

[Majutsukou]

McDonalds actually gave me a puking problem after getting used to nothing but healthier food in Asia...

Anyway well done guys!

[noisydaoist]

Blatantly honest, funny, and superbly done. Great drawings! *****

[adamdaymond]

Haha, awesome collab! I had a similar experience, but that was after eating some slightly suspicious seared tuna at a buffet in sendai. :P

[Hikosaemon]

Unrested, please don't mind if I stop by and tip my hat kindly to you sir for the supremely awesome comic illustration, and the many hours of hard work I know you put into this. I'm biased of course, but I think this is one of the best... collabs... ever... :)

Peace

[Chikavelli]

Haha! I had to bight the bullet many times.. Glad that most of it made it haha~!

[japoxy]

That's was the funniest video I've seen in a while. Great job on the comics.

[markshmily]

Dude... that's one of the kewlest things I've seen in a long time... great job!

[animeangela227]

what does washiki-benjo mean anyway?

[Hikosaemon]

@animeangela227 Washiki = Japanese style, Benjo = crapper

People often say Wa-Ben for short.

[SenseiTedderz]

Hah! Oh man that was a good video, the hard work that went into it was worth it for sure. And and besides being funny, I can say this saved my life because I could see it happening to me very soon, I would have done the same thing in a heart beat, this saved me from some embarrassing toilet acrobatics! : )

[Lunaeincola]

Omg, Cool !!! Please carry on doing those Comics, YOu Botha are Great,Gosh that was funny xDDD

[Hikosaemon]

@Lunaeincola :)

[xCKxHolyChaos]

Awesome video unrested!!! hahaha ^_^

its good advice for when i get to tokyo next week ^_^

[K33m3]

that was a nice story :D

[bloodspiller30]

funny story! :)

i love the intro

[Daichen]

oh god this cracked me up so hard lmao

[Nemesis093781]

Very cool, and funny story, I ran into a similar toilet issue when I was in Kuwait.

Like

[woggystylerism]

so, so good!

I still think the easiest way is taking one complete leg off and holding that leg above the other to one side hehehe...

[BANKAI207]

We can't criticize other cultures. I'm sure that japanese who come to the US might feel a little uncomfortable with some things of our culture that they aren't used to or haven't experienced at all.

[Kingaskong1234]

Dude you shouldv'e let her show you how to use it.

[Hikosaemon]

@Kingaskong1234 Dude, I was trying to look cool in front of a cute girl... It really wouldn't have worked - I guess unless we were into that sort of thing... and neither of us was German...

[Kingaskong1234]

@Hikosaemon aha im german thanks. No jk im not german nice story.

[furetosan]

Awesome!

[barrettsalive]

great video! good advice. Unrested you are a very talented artist

[MrHiberto]

this was awesome

[countumga]

Of all the damned things, this thought had NEVER entered my mind. Thank god you told us how to avoid this situation if we were to ever encounter these toilets! D:

[Hikosaemon]

@countumga If only someone had told me...

[CChase18]

Awesome work guys! I'm much impressed with the quality of your art :)

[Heavi001]

Loved it. Thank you so much for the hard work, it was definitely worth it.

[gaijinyakuzza]

ii na!

[APOKALYPSE34]

this is a amazing collab! well now we know how to crap in Japan!

[109mytiger]

It is so funny ! I also want to watch a video that when you first had experience of high tech Toto Washlet toilet in Japan. Did you play with it 30 minuts in toilet?

[crazyzee81]

Nice art work, and the story was well told and very enjoyable. I would love to see more videos like this one, and I do understand they take some serious time and work to get done but if you could maybe release one every month or 2 that would be awesome. Sorry your like a dealer giving the first one free and getting people hooked, lol. jk. anyway great vid and thanks

[Hikosaemon]

@crazyzee81 The good thing about this exercise was we realized how we could have made it easier. Unrested made beautiful detailed coloured slides but it probably would have been more painless and as effective in something simpler. Likewise, I had to figure out the panning and zooming for the editing that was harder than I thought it would be - but now I have it down, I'd be more confident.

I don't think this will be a regular thing but I'm sure you'll see more of Unrested's comics :)

[AgentCell]

lol nice video. make a continuation. you guys should make a mini series. its awesome.

[Hikosaemon]

@AgentCell A mini-series??? Well, there was this time when I threw up in Nakano station...

[wicreed]

Either way the story is a riot



[studyingjapanese]

That was fun to watch! :)

[pabbychan]

awesome video! and what a real dilemna - I also once got stuck in a similar situation in a traditional ryokan ! and after the confusing and perplexing task! not to mention embarrasing! I later realize later that there was actually a western style bathroom down another hallway !!!

[unrested]

@pabbychan oh god my first month here i made quite a few mistakes at ryokans. some too embarrassing to mention.

[BIGIFANDYELLOWCARD]

lol, is this a true story?

[unrested]

@BIGIFANDYELLOWCARD 100% non-fiction...well aside from the talking star.

[Hikosaemon]

@BIGIFANDYELLOWCARD I truly and honestly wish it wasn't...

[jasminehks]

yeah apparently those toilets are all over asia and by that i mean the continent...they are pretty common in middle east as well...

[bbvoncrumb]

Awesome!

[dannyinohio]

LOL !!!!!!! BRAVO!!! lol!!! the bomb bay doors LOL!!! oh man i got my chuckle for the day for sure!!!

danny in ohio

[Hikosaemon]

@dannyinohio I could have described it alternately as "spraying napalm", but that would have just been in bad taste...

[InsaneVender]

second time iv seen this today. Still good tho!

[wtzOlt]

This was awesome! :D

[TaltosGirl]

I hate it when that happens lmao!! Great story!
