[bunnypink14]

[dsjjsd]

haha the japanese are so modest that they disappear into the ground XD

[bolshevikML]

Japan must apologize for its unpardonable war crimes committed during WWII.

[Kuriparka]

@bolshevikML they already did

the aftermath of hiroshima and nagasaki is bigger than pearl harbor.

[korciz]

한국은 일본 놈들의 진정한 사과를 받은 적이 없다. 매번 저런식으로 앞에서만 '사과'를 표시하면 뒤로는 비웃기 때문이다.

[StanziChannel]

"You violate the Ninja code by falling in love." yup, that'll be me.

[choosing2lookeast]

Is this something that only men in Japan do or do women do it too?

[MrMrphil72]

Do not lift head until given permission *checks watch*

[Downbrokenhearts]

45 degrees=apology

35 degrees=greeting ...No wonder that they are so good at math ><

[TheFlagrantFoul]

Raugh out Roud!

[SeekerOfMore]

LOOOL!!!! I laughed to tearssssss

[AngeloSantoni]

@SeekerOfMore I raughed too.

[secret2812]

lol. the doge fuse xD

[vadast]

nice! i can apologize to a ninja now!

[oceanlanimama]

This is way good! I learned a thing or two about how ridiculous I look sometimes. This sereies is always 1/4 truth and the rest is LOL.

[warriorden]

2:01 = cool

[TheENweb]

@wa02ch01 "wa02ch01's account has been *terminated* due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines"

Hmm... I wonder why

[someonefromthesky]

I hate to see serious political debate in funny video.

[wrykolakas]

@someonefromthesky and is this a funny video? the japanese traditions are complex and difficult... can you say for sure that the things in the video are not true?

[someonefromthesky]

@wrykolakas off course, this is a comedy. I've watched other videos in this series, and they are all funny. Also the actor in this video is a Japanese comedian. Maybe some things are taken from real traditions, but then they turned it into parody.

[AngeloSantoni]

@wrykolakas 0:48 This guy needs to go to toilet. Isn't that for the lulz??? Of course it is for the lulz!!!

[kazzemg]

guys this video is not serious it's a freaking funny japanese traditions fake

[wa02ch01]

Japanese don't know the word "apologiy".

Look how these japanese liars try to change world history as they wish.

These funny japanese always pretend to be victims. In fact they were the worst scum murdering 30 million innocent Asian victims.

[manders1979]

@wa02ch01 i do not know the word "apologiy" either.

[NidhoggKG]

they should have added seppuku in the end XD

[gwotaku01]

Bow on one knee ftw! XD

[JohanTW]

Hahaha, "you violated the ninja code by falling in love" :P

[deutschlala]

SB

[yaoigirl418]

I love how incredibly dramatic this vid is lol

[okichan4]

「靴を舐める」が無いなー

[andrewc513]

I bet these were all real tradition loooong ago, but are now antiquated. That's why a guy in a business suit makes them seem fake. Imagine an instructional dance video of Bieber teaching the Allemande.

[nastyevilbunny]

Love the Ninja apology. 

[LAiLAiYuu]

... Interesting ^^ ♥

[brunswickbass888]

Anyone who believes this is real at any point....is a Xenophobe.

[madamadamaniauuun]

This series including this one is just joke,Japanese-self-irony-joke

by Japanese comedians in order to make Japanese people laugh.

Foreigners, please DO NOT BELIEVE these stupid and incorrect 'manners'!

Almost all of these are fibs.

[1911m1a1]

Dear Mr shachikujira, Britain has not only apologised to the countries that we colonised, but left them with, railway systems,administration, the legal system, democracy, etc etc. Japan left their colonies and occupied territories with death, destruction and horror. "Die ignorant pig" you say. Thats what was said to the population of Nanking, allied prisoners of war, was it not.? I am sorry that two atomic bombs were dropped on japan. I am sorry that it was not 50. Sayonara

[Taipei2Tokyo]

@1911m1a1 The Japanese only had 2 colonies. Taiwan and Korea. They left Taiwan with irrigation systems, sewer systems, universities, railways, the 2nd highest literacy rate in Asia during the WWII era. Korea was another story.

[heishomon]

@Taipei2Tokyo thank you,i am glad to see you evaluate japan to a certain extent.i am sick of korea's lies.

[Mralibabarooibakkie]

@1911m1a1 I seemed to have missed the British apology to South Africans for the colonisation and wars. Must have been otherwise occupied and it was a very quick and unasuming apology.

[1911m1a1]

@Mralibabarooibakkie Like all african colonies, they were left 1000% better off under british administration. And, all have now descended into chaos, starvation, genocide and near total collapse. South Africa? Aids ridden, poverty stricken, and led by crooks.

[Mralibabarooibakkie]

@1911m1a1 None crooks on a bigger scale than Rhodes, Milner, Jameson, and my personal favourite, Kitchener! South Africa's great infrastructure was mainly built, ironically, by the Apartheid government. Not by the British. The British took all the gold and diamonds that they could carry and buggered off, without any apology, might I remind you again. To me, you seem like a dick. Or do you feel like a stand-up guy for wishing 50 more bombs on Japan?

[1911m1a1]

@Mralibabarooibakkie No need for 50 more bombs. God heard my prayers. So watchit.

[Mralibabarooibakkie]

@1911m1a1 God heard your prayers. O shoot, you're an even bigger twirp than I thought.

[1911m1a1]

@Mralibabarooibakkie Twirp eh? That's good coming from someone who calls themselves Mr. Alibaba Rooibakkie! I may have to have a word with God about you, you rascal you.

[Mralibabarooibakkie]

@1911m1a1 Of course, you're right, "doos" is much more apt than twirp. Or how 'bout fokken poes?

[MarchingMac04]

@1911m1a1 Haha, yeah. When countries in Europe interfere with the natural way of life in Africa and give leaders armies yes, it leads to corruption and poverty.

[neji168]

NINJA!!!!! :D

[blackpenspinner]

lol

[mickXfan]

lol when he was checking his watch xD 1:37

[mikeymyer]

Violate ninja code by falling in love. LMAO

[1911m1a1]

Pity it took 50 years for them to say 'sorry' for their brutality during WW2!

[Innamoramento9]

@1911m1a1 They HAVE been saying sorry since the start. The right-wing never has, the left-wing always has. Chinese and Korean media never broadcasts any of it. I'm not defending their crimes, but if you read Japanese media (in Japanese) you'd sense that many people HAVE been saying sorry, but it never gets shown ANYWHERE except for the Japanese central-left wing media. Thus the endless bitterness in Asia.

[shachikujira]

@1911m1a1 have england and other europian countires apologized and compensated the colonies?japan has already done many times.go die ignorant pig.

[bolshevikML]

It is good that the Japs practise apologizing, because they have to apologize a lot for their war crimes.

[thatotherthinker]

whatever happened to harakiri?

[regerabit]

An awesomely made video. I just wonder if it really was serious ;)

[MarcLT1]

It's not too late, you can still learn to apologise :)

[LovelyYTRocks]

Let's have us a game. Let's see who can do the ninja apology the longest. Every time you apologize, you have to take the ninja stance. Let's see how long you can do it before you feel utterly embarrassed by what you're doing or by getting punched by the person you're apologizing to.

[DestinyQx]

ninjas can't fall in love?

[MichealManzanare]

Make learning Japanese as easy as possible with this comprehensive course, check out our videos - youtube.com/watch?v=wfseANZtMN­g

[natospec1]

@stratabuser the answer to that is smoke bomb. Then drop into the nearest manhole and run.

[ariobanana]

nice background music.....so ninja......haha

[Aoskaiape]

0:47 reminds me at the "gay pride" in "japanese tradition: chopsticks"

XD

[Thewhiteandorange]

I wonder if anyone has watched it and actually took it to heart.....(and then went to Japan)

[FTWinnable]

00:46 o_o

[stratabuser]

fuck! what do i do if i bump into someone while violating the ninja code by being caught red handed in an orgy of evil?

cause shit like that happens to me all the time...

[Thewhiteandorange]

@stratabuser

made my night there, thank you [insert appropriate bow]

[lijluvr356]

@stratabuser I guess you have to do the super special awesome chocolate-y coated secret bow of doom, then. It's so secret it isn't even listed here.

[stratabuser]

@lijluvr356 "secret bow of doom"... way cool. i think that one requires you to dig a hole, get in it and bow.

then the offended party fills up the hole...

[lijluvr356]

@stratabuser You forgot the part about how you dig it by moistening the earth with your tears and then using your hands to move the earth until your fingers bleed and THEN get in the hole.

[stratabuser]

@lijluvr356 yes, absolutely. i forgot about the awesome chocolate-y part too.

thus, the hole should be filled up with hersheys chocolate syrup.

wow, perfect bow of doom. unfortunately, its no longer secret since we just blabbed the recipie to everybody...

oh well!

[DarkFottloch]

@stratabuser harakiri

[stratabuser]

@DarkFottloch

shit dude, i just want to say im sorry, not shank myself!

[DarkFottloch]

@stratabuser xDD

[sudjata21]

haha, I like this. I will apply it into my daily life from now on.^^

[Dparrey]

Hahaha oh the people who make serious comments. Love these videos.

[jamchew1982]

ninja one was hilarious

[chibiloverful]

wow that a lot of bowing how im i gona learn all of this T-T

[lordtains]

Lol how he looks at his watch at 1:39 XD

[JoyChow]

deep bow is eager to go to toilet...

[jayxunned]

deep bow is gay

[oriomamoru]

忍者に恋はご法度かｗ

[nybeath]

ahaha.. .clever.

[domtoug]

"caught red-handed in an orgy of evil" hahaha

[JomeXX]

Oooo Soooo funny. LOL. A stroke of genius for sure.

3:28 is GREAT!!t!!!!!!!

[Crimsonterminator100]

and then seppuku you fucked up bad

[ihaveopposablethumbs]

ROFL violating ninja code by falling in love... yes!!

[lordtains]

and how he suddenly looks behind and takes that ninja stance XD

"be wary of approaching enemies"

[Palamneus]

"Your child is the only to make the grade"

HaaaHahaha

[namnhan2003]

Too bad, they left out the apology of the yakuza which he bows with one knee forward and his arm stretching toward the guest. The other knee in the back was push down by the other hand. I saw it in the series of Lone wolf and the cub. Dont tell me it doesnt exist.!!! Simply beautiful...

[PixieStuff12]

2:34 caught red handed in an orgy of evil

[kirin1001]

統計＆データを見ると、英語圏の方々にかなり見られてる様だけど­・・・コメディとして捉えてもらえているのだろうか・・・

[shimewaza]

Yes, we know its comedy ;-)

[MaxCovington791]

He looks like he has to take a whiz during the deep bow.

[MadPutz]

The "looking like he has to take a whiz" is exaggerated in the comedy video of course, but it exists in a small subtle way in informal apologies.

[doncorleoneug100]

omg..soo funny..

[PraiseDivineMercy]

Doge-fuse = Apologizing to the in-laws. ^_^

[mmkk3527]

忍者バージョンが意外にロマンチックｗｗ

[ciccarello]

lol love that vid am totally favoriting

sadly thats all true... well most of it

expressing sorrow in japan is a huge thing something americans should really learn about

[Yogizuna]

Very cool!

Do not lift head until given permission, wow.

[killer112132]

I totally forgot my bad day coz of this vid.

Looking forward for a chance to do this ninja apologize ;).

[hezekiah74]

I've lived in Japan for nearly a decade and I can they they are all definately real apart from the last two!!!

[DifferenTokyo]

HEY wheres the japanese  切腹

[linda2894]

best way is to kill urself..lol

[Ecrivon]

Hahah, this is great. The examples of when to use it crack me up ("Caught red handed in an orgy of evil").

[therapi9559]

be wary on approaching enemies

win

[harlemfatso]

These are pretty ridiculous, interesting video but god damn do the japanese have weird customs if bowing like you are going to wet your pants is an apology.

[MadPutz]

well doge-za is the last real one, the final 2 are exaggerated jokes

[Naproxenum]

this is satire ... damn u slow...

[432cestus80]

Some kind an ancient ritual, somewhere around 2,000 years ago. Japanese culture that is highly regarded as deeply symbolic of imperial japan.

[iklp1983]

Japanese apology is by hanging them self.

[EphemeronRadiance]

As a canadian, I'll be sure to save all these up for use in the near future.

[WolkinLobota]

Super video! My apologies for not seeing this video before!

[phillipxenxciel]

best use in dirty group, hmm, must take notes of this!

[Dostwyn]

That second one (deep bow) looks like he has eaten something wrong and is about to fart. That cant be serious

[reagan9000]

@Dostwyn None of this is serious. Except the first 3 and last 2.

[bionicle190]

well almost all until dogeza are true.

Not dogefuse and dogeumari...

[lacorrosivo]

Best!

[lijluvr356]

Am I the only one who thinks this would be the perfect podcast?

[yellowkiwi8]

LMAO BEST USED ON DIRTY GROUND LMAO!

[TYAOELU]

I am japanese.

It is perfect.Bat last two thing is joke.

(○ω○)

[Lolismad]

headbanging lesson 1 lol

[tokonhumetu808]

This video is really funny for Japanese too(lol.

My friend from Boston also loves this.

[duende29]

Caught red handed in an orgy of evil. Lolololol

[Peekingduck]

This is a joke guys.

There is a whole DVD of these skits. It's all satire.

Made by Japanese about the misconceptions about their culture.

[robertofrega]

Ahm... Do you know what a joke is?

[patorikkudozzu]

Wow, this even better than Look Around You!

[Hiimitsu]

The only thing missing was attempt Seppukku.

ROFL

[KooKas2oo8]

I've heard that the Japanese don't even need bike locks because no-one steals their stuff.

[yooztoobs]

Ha ha; Where can I find a copy of these skits to purchase? I would love for them to decorate my dvd rack.

[ciao0311]

外国人のみなさま

会釈は謝罪ではありません。

土に埋めることはしません。

冗談を真に受けないでください。

[d5h]

It says the first one (shallow bow) is not an apology, it's used for saying hello and goodbye, like a handshake. The rest is obviously a joke.

ciao0311さんへありがとう。訳しました。

[zakarmugahar]

2:21

*LMAO

[chiko951]

最後は嘘だろ

[fabianonline]

"The Ultimate Apology : Dirty ground is the best choice"

ehehehehehehhe

Must love Japanese culture :D

[DontMockForest]

....It's a joke, it's not serious.

[iseevideos123]

thats why its a must love. its like they poking fun at themselves just for humor. true or not lol

[00cornelius]

It is wonderful.

By the way, how many content of this video are believed?

[LoveYamachan]

all bow are true except for those after dogeza and the second one is done jokingly...

the situations are almost true some are exaggerated though but it means with the same degree of fault or mistake...

[IfunyunsI]

I love the Evolution of Man thing they've got going at the end XD Who makes these?Very creative!

[sumerates]

omfg he grabed his nuts and bends like he kicked hahah

[basilcoup]

Heheh...Deep bow looks like he needs to use the restroom! As hilarious as everything else was, though, the 'evolution of man' parody at the end was actually really seriously cool!

[internetzpotato]

Like all cultural parody, there are distinct elements of truth. If you follow the examples up to and including "dogeza", those are all real bows and examples you will see in Japan.

[WarriorGoddessSista]

zmg that was brilliant XD Orgy of Eviiiiillll XD. Although my fave bow would have to be the Shallow. It's simple, but hilarious LOL

[homicidalcrash]

I nearly cried of laughter at 'orgy of evil'.

xD

[theotherbeave]

i sell crack

[lpbluesboy]

a joke?

i've seen all of this in japan.

[ivansofun]

are u stupid? of course this video was meant to be a joke. Don't tell me ur taking this seriously when ur suppose to bow on one knee because u violate the "ninja" code by falling in love or u lose a secret message.

[J14ngL00]

Ninja apology stances are the best.

Note: Be wary of approaching enemies

[l00nnie]

is that for real?? do they really do tat?

[Animasus]

It's a satir. It's just a comedie sketch

[bobhatesrainbows]

Japanese customs are all about the lulz

[m4gp13]

orgy of evil, lol

[MidnightScott]

Is this supposed to be comical, that guy bowed like he got punched in the crotch O_o

[ivansofun]

yes its suppose to be comical. u dont really think theres still ninjas who have to bow on one knee cuz they violate the ninja code of falling in love.

[tobs001]

oo god i love this...eer... series or wtv it is... Its kills me.

[kadayo]

ah, I love it. thanks!

[luckyblue09]

ahahahaha, what a great vid!

[hotrave]

LOL!

[hungryhippo12345]

holy...i'm japanese and i didn't even know there were so many ways to apologize! this video was VERY informative!

[sirrealdan]

Excellent! Great all the way through (and I like the way he instinctively reached for the sword that was not on his back, when doing the ninja "bow on one knee"!)

[BLACKpaintPRODUCTION]

That was great!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[whysee520]

hahaha...
