It's nice to think they come over because they want to see what's happening, but I'm pretty sure they are all just following their trainers.

Or maybe they're waiting for their share of the sushi.

@Matthu I think you need to read about 'a' and 'an'. It doesn't matter what the letter is, just the sound. so, 'a major league baseball player' or 'an MLB player'.

If you could see the continuation of these clips you would see that for every second he stays in the water he gets a second to promote something of his. A movie, show or anything like that. That's why one of the guys is usually holding a stopwatch. It's not only the little guy that it happens to. They do it to other people too. They get to promote their things also.

It's an ad for www.jalan.net which is basically a travel agency.

^You certainly mean Sarah Palin. Unless you really do have your head so far up Glenn Beck's arse that you're beginning to believe his bullshit.


People have tried to show you this without pointing it out very clearly. I'm only pointing it out, because I was like you and didn't understand it at first.

For Miss Informer of the Year: 2009, may I nominate Rachel Maddow?


And the title of the video:

Misinformer of the Year 2009

Is that any clearer?

Dog = father : Older woman = mother : younger woman = daughter : black guy = homestay guest?

mother: Are you really going to go honey?
father: Yeah.
daughter: Uncle Tara too? (I guess they call him Tara-chan here, but I've never heard that before)
Tarantino: I am Tara-chan!
daughter: Oh, someone's calling.
mother: It's your wife.
wife: Get your ass home now!
Tarantino: I'm sorry!

The second skit is almost the same, but Tarantino just gets a bit more excited about going. I'm not sure where they are going but based on the attire I'd say some kind of traditional place or sport.

The commercials are for the speaker phone attachment that looks like the dog. He's become sort of the Softbank icon here in Japan. I think its a free gift or something because they say "you can receive one" not "on sale now".

You'll see the black guy in all the other commercials too. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be a homestay guest, or the son.

Great nominee for a "way too much time spent making something pointless and boring that some sifters think is the best thing since sliced bread" award.


By that reasoning movie remakes or cover bands should be just as pointless and boring. Maybe you feel that way, but I rather enjoy listening to cover bands at the local pubs.

"Fumico's crush"

Fumico: Please go out with me!

Takashi: Sorry, I want to concentrate on baseball!

(Fumico runs away) Fumico: Stupid Takashi!

(after she falls on Takashi)

Fumico: I'll make you Miso soup every morning!

Takashi: Sorry, I want to concentrate on baseball!

I always heard about hole punch clouds when I was a meteorologist, but I never actually saw one. That strikes the weather side of me with a bit of awe.

How do they decide if they were out or not?

I'm guessing whether they laugh or they squirm


Yeah, its a new years special on TV. Each of the guys that did the MRI are the 'contestants'. They're really famous entertainers. They go to different places for 24 hours and they can't laugh the entire time. If they do they get one slam on the ass with a foam bat. Of course, the entire time they are there, other people are doing things to try to make them laugh. This year it was a newspaper company, last year it was the hospital. The whole 2 or 3 hour is just like that clip. Its such an awesome show.

I'm sorry, but he doesn't say "pluck". If he did, no one would have made a big deal about him swearing on air like he did. Tags are going back.


That has to be one of the most inane statements I've ever read! Its impossible to mishear him! Humans all of a sudden have an impeccable sense of hearing.

God forbid anything on the internet is a blown up misunderstanding.

Its not only 'white trash losers' who have plans for when they get rich.

*blocked in Japan...

They aren't even talking about the real issue. "Is it possible that this movie will not blow?"

I wish I had been with someone who knew about the original show when I saw the trailer. I thought maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance...

*blocked in japan... but the ads aren't. How wonderful of them.
