If you like that one, you should search the sift for "Rahmen" clips. There are bunch of other good videos by those guys. I think most of them are dead now though.

*promote. Long live the Rahmens.

satire starts with the way he does the deep bow. it's teaching how to apologize, not just how to bow.

but it's satire by the rahmens (japanese comedy duo).

and it's a dupe: http://www.videosift.com/video/Apologizing-The-Japanese-Tradition

Say, would you be up to typing out a translation of this vid? I could download the video from YouTube then add the comments and resubmit.

These vids are just infinitely more enjoyable with the translation.

“That's great.

You should repost that Rahmen's vid with the 6000 day calendar. It'll probably get published now, especially in the Asia collective.”

That's great.

The same people also did The Suffering of Inanimate Objects sketch...

Search for the tag "Rahmens" for more greatness. I love their work.

"you bring me joy"...

supernice, supergood sifter, just keeps getting better and better...

has an amazing discard section. also has the playlist (The Damned) that shows how many good videos don't make it to the front page.

some of the best rickegee:
Tom Waits fishing with a fish in his pants
South Pole timelapse
Rahmens - Suffering of Inanimate Objects
Sun Ra Arkestra - Pink Elephants on Parade
Shortwave Spy Numbers from behind the Berlin Wall
Matthias Meyer - The Black Gallery
Kids Flying in a Wind Tunnel

and of course: Werner Herzog loves the Amazon Jungle

Other work by the Rahmens may be found here:

these are the guys from rahmens (sushi: the japanese tradition).

the script is similar to the english version. the PC guy is dancing to eurobeat. he has an easy time with itunes. the Mac guy tells him he works with photos and movies just as easily -- ilife. PC guy says he's got some cool programs too.
-- like what?
-- a calculator.
-- and...?
-- clock!

(will go back to waiting for the subtitled version of the rahmens video on relationships...)

this is by "rahmens". their short films are very stylish and funny. one of the first famous things they did was "japanese lessons for foreigners" that was made into a popular flash animation: http://www.in-duce.net/archives/shinbashi.swf

most of the recent rahmens videos don't have subtitles (yet), so they're not good for videosift. but i just posted a short one about a new calendar for the world. it's in french with japanese voiceover. it probably makes sense even without understanding the language, but i put the translation in the comments.
