I’m a big fan of the coconut. Sprinkle that shaved shit over ice cream and I’m in heaven. Now, mix coconuts in with Japanese television and weird white dudes and I’m in hog-heaven. If you cut to the 3:37 mark of the video above you get to the Guinness Book of World Record performance for crushing coconuts with your fist. Cut to the 0:01 mark of the video above and you get a glimpse of the absurdity/brilliance of Japanese television. Bless dem buggers.
It probably goes without saying, but the Japanese have a flare for comedy. I know, I know…I’ve said it MANY TIMES before…but it rings true day after day. They also present a nice reprieve from spending any amount of quality time on crafting some stupid post on non-relevant sports/celebrity topics…so…I’ve got that going for me. Cool, eh?
But wait! There’s more! Stay tuned (or log back in for more page click revenue for me) for a nice post tonight on the NBA’s All-Time ?????? Team. You’ll see. Should be a nice waste of time and an early Friday treat for all you non-productive corporate slaves. Of course, I mean slaves in the most thankful PartMule way.
After watching the video above, I (PM) called customer service at my cable provider — Time Warner (TW) – to inquire about my service:
PM: “Yeah, I was wondering when you guys are gonna get anything Japaneseon any of your cable packages?”
TW: “Sir? What exactly are you referring to?”
PM: “Umm. Yeah. Anything Japanese. Them buggers are just tremendous! It seems that their style of hilarity is misinterpreted, misunderstood, and we should really take a cultural bow to their simplistic form of humor and blow up the American sitcom forever!”
TW: “Umm…..sir? Are you high or something?”
PM: “Uhhh, yeah….but that’s beside the point. I’m not sure of how to get a Japanese channel, where it comes from, or any details, but this incredible stuff appears on YouTube and our society is just missing out on a plethora of comedic genius and entertainment.”
TW: ”Sir. I’m hanging up now….or you can talk to my supervisor.”
The depth and range of Japanese TV befuddles the mind. They are exceptional at getting to the meat of humor and have basically reverted comedy back to its slapstick core….poking eyes, tripping on bananas, and shots to the crotch were what made American comedy great…
….The Japanese have come through once again. Amazingly, they’ve simplified the art of toilet training — talking toilets, screaming pee, and angry poop.
But….apparently, this is not a big hit with German children….holy shit!
Umm. What can I say that hasn’t already been batted around this Site to nauseum. The bastards are the funniest on Mother’s Earth. Maybe there’s some obscure, cannibalistic tribe in the back jungles of the Amazon running around with toilet paper on their heads playing Wheel of Fortune on unicyles. That might beat the Japanese. Narrowly.
