Funniest thing in Japanese

GaijinPunch · 15 Apr 2005

Anyone a few years into the langauge knows that Japanese humor is usually... well... not very funny. At least not in the ways we're used to.

I searched around the forums and found no link to this. It's a bit old (I saw it a year ago I think) but I still laugh when I watch it. Probably sounds familiar to anyone that recalls their first year of Japanese.

This will be a good lesson on a lot of ways NOT to say things.

Enjoy.

LMAO! That was awesomely funny. It reminded me of being in Japanese class, especially the one guy who would lag behind. And how could you not love シンバシ、シンバシ、シンバシ！ Thanks for sharing, GP.

That was very funny.
Does a Japanese teacher just repeat same words randomly like that?

I played this computer game where this "gaijin" English teacher taught English.

You could tell she was gaijin because she a) Used katakana for -kun when addressing people, b) Had blonde hair and c) Had huge breasts. (Unfortunately I'm disqualified from true gaijin status on at least b and c).

In the lessons they had incredibly difficult, obscure and irrelevant English* which she read with the worst pronunciation by any Japanese person I've ever heard.

One student then commented on her lovely "ネイティブ" accent.

* I think they copied bits of text at random out of a poetry book.

Which computer game was this? Very strange.

Anyways, glad to see you guys enjoyed this. My wife laughed balls when she saw it as well, and she doesn't laugh so easily. Same w/ the kids in the office. I think my favorite part is the "Is this the Yamanote line?" "No, this is the Yamanote line."
