  • Don't forget that at a funeral or at some other kind of sad moment, you can hug, but you have to bump the other guy on the back with a fist. Otherwise it's just gay.

  • That isn't entirely true, the hug part has the arm clutching aspect to it but the two guys make contact at the chest. It is basically a hug with the arms folded in between. The presentation was funny i have to say.

  • Western custom is handshake and it's very nasty considering that most of them (if not all) are not very good in personal hygiene. Imagine someone had gone to the bathroom and didn't wash his/her hands?

  • YOU CAN TELL THE GUY IS A JEW BIG TIME(BLUE SHIRT)

  • @bryanlaiko Geesh, chill it's obviously ment to be funny and not taken too seriously.

  • LMFAO

  • "The handshake are a very old European custom, it does not need a

  • its very stereotypical

  • As an American, this was actually rather amusing. ^_^
