[Eric Peter Ramberg]

This is one of the most painful things that I have ever watched.

[acoutts]

I like how the chick (who is at least tried to write some interesting lines) "raps" some crap about how it doesn't matter what kind of belt you've got what matters is you give it your very best special effort, and the douche-y guy takes a break from not rhyming, cheating on his wife with the three geishas, and physically threatening us to interrupt her by bragging that he is "a black belt", and she immediately gets back with the program and tells him how awesome he is.

[jade bright]

Funny

[notsparctacus]

"Run like the dickens..." Really?

[marlito166]

Is that Herman's Head guy?

[Serge Gasbar]

There's a whole effing movie of this?



[nailliGillian]

3:13 - pretty much sums it up.

[dunnea24]

That rubbish /crap

[anuk sunamoon]

This is what happens when white people start immersing themselves in other cultures. They turn something cool to wack!

[ThePowerJunkie]

How could so many people be credited to something that blows major chunks.

"I train in my car,

I'm a nin-jar."
