Oh fuck, say can ya fuckin' see By the fuckin' dawn's fuckin' light What so proudly we fuckin' hailed At the twilight's last fuckin' gleaming? Whose fuckin' broad stripes and bright fuckin' stars Through the perilous fuckin' fight O'er the ramparts we fuckin' watched, Were so fuckin' gallantly, yeah, fuckin' streaming? And the rockets' red fuckin' glare The bombs bursting in fuckin' air Gave proof through the fuckin' night That our flag was still fuckin' there O say, does that fuckin' star-spangled fuckin' banner yet wave O'er the land of the fuckin' free and the home of the fuckin' brave
Wow. Here I was trying my best to give this presentation some benefit of the doubt. That sort of cherry picking is on par with those people who point at a bible passage that says "don't mark your body" to claim that tattoos are bad, when literally the very next passage says "don't cut your hair or beard" and they just ignore it because they think a clean shaven look is more "conservative".
Brem they wouldn't need japan they'd need china... what good shit has japan given us outside of entertainment? I mean, were on good terms now but thts about it for our communication
yeah TBH when it comes to anime there are more jokes on Japanese stereotypes that there are foreign stereotypes, and even if your nation is the subject of a joke you shouldn't take it personally. I'm Australian and my favorite Simpsons episode is the one where they come to oz because Bart reverse charges a phone bill to some aussie kid. The episode included a lot of jokes that make aussies out to be simple bogans but I don't take it as a personal insult, it is what it is, a harmless joke and not something to be taken seriously.
Whats the difference with this compared to when American media makes fun of Brittish, Frence, Scottish, Canadian, Japanese and Irish stereotypes for example? Is it only lighthearted fun when America does it but when Japan does it its offensive? Just annoys me that people make such a big deal about it when people see it in Anime but not on American shows and movies.
Well... that was an act of war though, so is dropping bombs. The only difference was one was to end a war- which it did, and another was to start a war- which it also did. I don't know how you expect the news to spin "2 planes flew into the world trade center today" do you think people would buy it if they said it was pilot errors? You need to look up what propaganda means. Also I'm not American, so nice try.
You should thank them really, America needs to be fighting a war 24/7, or else they would have to remove all taxes in the US. They can only employ tax laws as long as the United States is currently engaged in officially declared war.
Considering that Americans keep bringing up Pearl Harbor whenever something bad happens to Japan and Japan has a favorable view of America, I'd say it's the Americans who are still mad, not the Japanese.
Japan refused to allow foreigners in for hundreds of years and this made them very technologicaly bacwards. The US forced them to open up which ended up helping them in the long run.
@@kellymoses8566 If Japan stayed isolationist it would have avoided so many Imperial Japanese invasions and atrocities from the rape of Nanking to Pearl Harbor. Not to mention no nukes would have been dropped on it. Would you really say it was worth it?
Not really but okay.... I love America because God give me a gift to be who I want under him. People hate God for some reason, why? He created the Big Bang and us. I love humanity like Jesus do, with a good heart. Don't ever drag this heart around.
Bill lupin he's saying that he was speaking Japanese like an American would, instead of a Japanese voice actor playing the part. I thought it was cool too
As an American, the first example and last examples were at least funny. And the last one wasn't even offensive to me, because he's clearly the equivalent of gimmicky Elvis themed tourist traps in Vegas; it seems like he's someone who's intentionally playing up his American caricature as a marketing technique.
Splee Spree I think the ship one was based on either american evilness soon after ww2, that moment when america forced japan to open up their country or all the above ( and possibly something I dont know )
It was actually from waaay before. When Japan closed itself off from all trade but a bit from the Dutch until the American navy sailed over and well the clip shows the rest. British and American ships were then allowed in Japanese harbours
Jojo's bizzare adventure has alot of characters that are Americans that are actually represented well, Johnny, Jolyne, and pretty much all the characters in part 6 and 7 are great characters, and Jotaro, Josuke, and Joseph are all half American aswell.
Is Half British Half American even a thing? How would anybody tell? Nobody calls them that, they'd just call them Americans, considering USA started off as a British colony.
Everything about this is inaccurate except for the last example. You have not truly lived until you buy a hot-dog from an asian Elvis impersonator at a hot-dog stand in New York. They're surprisingly common. Also in casual speech we do curse a fuckton. When typing we tend to be more selective with our words for clarity's sake, but when it's between two people in person, cursing does occur and it is frequent. Murica. JESUS CHRIST. Fuck. SHIT. OH MY GOD.
Tim, once the fighting starts the US military is pretty aggressive, but you need to remember that the overwhelming majority of the wars the US has been involved in were either caused by some other nation attacking the US or by the US being called into war by its allies who were attacked. Most of them are wars we didn't start and that we are defending ourselves or other nations. Imperialists don't typically have a history of their wars being nearly exclusively defencive wars.
AlphaOmega1237 except the whole Korean, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars. Korea was to stop the spread of communism. Korea was in a civil war and we intervened. since we were forced to retreat due to Chinese intervention. This led to Vietnam. where we again intervened in the war with a fire in our hearts to stop the spread of communism. Btw we pulled out of nam due to growing tension back home. Iraq pt1 was due to the invasion of Kuwait by the Iraqi army. pt2 was part of the "war on terror". But what the U.S.A. really wanted was another foot in the middle East between that was convenient for both Israel and the USA. USA gets military bases near Iran and a large US presence in the middle East removes some pressure off of Israel. As for Afghanistan. A. poppy seeds B. Osama bin Laden D. Bases near Russia. Don't forget the countless proxy wars the USA has funded since WW2. The rise of the Taliban and the Saddam regime was largely due to us funding. So when you say the US acts in defense of allies you would be dead wrong.
The Samurai Champloo one was actually kinda accurate historically. The Western world wanted Japan to open up their country to trade, so the United States sent huge ships equipped with canons to "negotiate" with Japan to open their country.
Dakota Frerking They didn't need to, the Japanese saw what Britain had done to China (Britain showed up and actually fired on cities until the government let them into five places) and were terrified of the United States doing the same to them
That antagonist who gets stronger from spending money perfectly displays the type of d bags who run Wall Street and play GTA with copious amounts of Sharkcards.
@Edin743 Is it a bad thing to swear? I mean, swearing isn't exclusive to the US or North America. RU-vidrs also don't represent an entire populace. I do think more often than not you'll meet someone that swears in some space or context, but it isn't overabundant.
There's definitely anti-American sentiment in Anime and Manga. It mostly revolves around Americans being snobbish and lackadaisical, but I think that's an exaggerated take on Japanese humility degenerating into an inferiority complex. In other words, it's the exception and not the rule; individual feeling rather than a concensus.
He is though.... He's also based on an american writer of the same name... bungostraydogs.wikia.com/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key_Fitzgerald en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald
Yeah but that writer has a book in which money plays a major role caled the Great Gatsby so imo it's more of a cool reference then an anti-american stereotype
+Peter Diaz Right. These just look like fun little stereotypes, as a American I do not take this as a true insult, rather, just a little joking around. Just like how we Americans sometimes joke around and say Japan is really weird. We mean no harm, we're just playing around. One of those "nudge-nudge" teasing jokes.
We elected him president. You do know that, don't you? Negan's motivation, in all that he did was narcissism. Everything was done to glorify him. He was trying to be an IRL Duke Nukem. Look at everything Trump's done, all the strange decisions, all the online trolling, ALL of it is done for attention. Like Negan, he's genuinely shocked when people don't think highly of him.
2:57-3:05 Here is what that Spanish subtitles say: Blue-Haired Girl: This girl is an international student. She is a freshman of our institution. Patricia Martin : My name is Patricia Martin. Nice to you meet you. Blue-Haired Girl: We have even released a CD.
dude the show is literally stupidity on top of stupidity all strung together in a surprisingly deep plot....yes, i'm probably the only one here who's actually watched that one :P
The last clip is the only one I have watched, its from Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade. From what I remember its actually not a good clip to use in a video like this, considering at the start they said all the clips were suppose to be anti-American. The whole point of that series was that all the characters they are meeting are NOT normal and are comically messed up.
Steiner -- Race has lost all meaning in America. When Nicolas Sarkozy called Serena and Venus Williams the Williams brothers, Serena said that was racist. Just one of many, many examples.
That's not really racism, it's more like jingoism and exceptionalism, which are very different thing. Some times jingoism is motivated by racism, but often not uniformly. It isn't necessarily, but it can be less caustic than actual racism. It can also be much worse! These concepts are so deeply rooted in Japanese culture that it had it's own phrase : Nihonjinron.
I have the feeling that last guy just went crazy with the script and the Japanese director had no idea he was cursing all the time. I mean, I don't think the Japanese will find the word 'fuck' that funny to write an script like that.
OOoooooonceee again American's proving their ability to stereotype OTHERS in a video about AMERICAN stereotypes. Congrats, you just played your country, regardless of your intention.
Arywnn >person just doesn't understand the culture >you proceed to insult him for no reason You wanna feel better about yourself on the Internet? Or are you that dumb?
The "Fitzgerald" one isn't so much a stereotype as it is an homage to The Great Gatsby, a book that's very popular in Japan whose wife inspired the name of the princess everyone loves. It was translated by Japanese author Murakami famous for his absurd postmodern stories.
Fishhunter2014 More like portrayal of an exaggerated version of what we did in 1863 when we threatened the Japanese with giant gunboats if they didn't establish a trade relationship
LuminaryPrism75 it was for the better for them, they were going all screwy with all of their different providences and everyone being at each other's throats.
just call me Madness Nope, Japan was united by the time America forced it's gates open. The warring factions era had long passed, and there had already been at least 250 years of relative peace under the Tokugawa Shogunate. The only thing America did, was serve as a forced catalyst for Japan's emerging industrialization and development.
The funny and ironic part is that the "physical strength equal to the money I spend" almost perfectly describes the samurai, whom were the big money "best mounts for best arms for best armor" spenders of their day and age.
If Japanese were horribly stereotyped in American animation (today) the way Americans are stereotyped in Anime, do you think that would be allowed to continue? Nope. Every society has it's ups and downs and social trends, but blantant stereotyping is wrong no matter who is doing it.
Paulafan5. Actually Japan has been stereotyped in a few American cartoons. One was Finnius and Ferb (ignore the crummy spelling) Where they went to Japan and it was only like a Caramel dancing with cosplay party. They came back and were like "What just happened?" lol
Paulafan5. Stereotyping is all about pointing out extremes and this can be funny in anime. Hopefully the viewers have the sensibilities to not believe it to be a 100% acurate representation. There most likely are a few people that actually fit the stereotype fairly well. This a normal possibility in a widely diverse society.
DeutscherRapBlog Battle Turnier couldn't agree more this would've been more accurate 20 year's ago but now hardly anyone acts like that from my experience.
Speaking as a Canadian... That last one is pretty much how we see American's too.. :P ...Actually it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case for most of the world.. Need's more gun though...
I can't believe some Americans here are offended about this and call it racist. Any racist factor on this? hot dog one is just a joke and samurai champloo one is just historical truth
Brother, you are taking this way too seriously. It's playful teasing, and maybe a nudge for us to get our shit together a bit better. Japan loves America.
@@templar-yu5ve Realistically speaking, Japan being forced to trade with the western nations by the U.S. actually improved things for the Japanese as well. So yeah, while it may be looked down upon today, it was almost necessary. That's just Realpolitk.
The Samurai Champloo scene is definitely coming from a place of love. Aside from the oddness that it has Alexander Cartwright in place of Commodore Perry (I don't think Alexander ever went to Japan, but it works for the episode being about baseball), in Japan, Commodore Perry is actually a beloved historical figure. He was after all, the catalyst for bringing Japan into the modern world and putting the country on the path to being an economic superpower. Hell, just the other day my students were making paper models of his black ships! Just because you're poking fun at someone doesn't mean you don't like them!
@@たまごおうじ-v2m 本当に不公平だった。しかし、あなたが除外したように、ほとんどの日本人はこの出来事に対して恨みを抱いていないようだ。開国は経済的にも技術的にも日本に大きな利益をもたらした。日本が今日のような経済大国になるための第一歩であったことは間違いない。 英語にはこんなことわざがある。「no man is an island」である。それは、「誰も本当の意味で自給自足している人はいない。繁栄するためには、誰もが他の人たちとの付き合いや快適さに頼らなければならない 」という意味である。日本は文字通りの島国だが、外部とのつながりがなければ、今の日本はなかっただろう。
@@fireaza Thank you for translating it into Japanese for me. It is a well-known fact in Japan that the opening of the country led to the current economic development of Japan. No one in Japan would deny this. However, the original purpose of the American side was to make Japan a convenient resupply point. There was no good intentions there. Therefore, as a Japanese citizen, I am grateful but not a person I love. He's just a historical figure.
Okay, for all of those in the comments saying this is “accurate” or “true.” They’re being facetious. Aside from the Samurai Champloo example, which historically happened, all of these are broad generalizations about a people as ethnically and ideologically diverse as you can get.
I don't think you understand. The entire thing was an accident. They meant to do a 21-gun salute before entering port, but they accidentally aimed the guns at the port defenses before doing it. Accidents like that could have been prevented by accepting trade with us. So you see, it was all just one big misunderstanding.
Anthony Clay true indeed. And XD there are aspects to it that while generalized tend to fit a lot of generalized Americans doesn't mean these are literally spot on at all. I mean theres aspects of these that in a generalized sense speak from truth (that in general americans tend to be pretty exitable and chaoticly expressive about it for example) however even at that there are plenty of people who arent even super exitable XD these are like hitting the broad side of a barn with darts but missing the actual target that may be drawn on said wall the dart still sticks in some aspects but some aren't even near the mark. XD however as an american to me personally that last guy's swearing is on point with how i talk at times and i don't even mean to but i'll swear or make up swears and thet just fumble out between everything else
They're *really* picking and choosing though. There's a lot more of the normal ones then the over the top. They ignored a lot of the intentionally goofy ones like Zetsubou Sensei's Commadore Perry skit, or the constant ones in yakitate japan. Not to mention manga where it's a *lot* more common to be used as a gag or over the top. I mean, if this is academic Commadore Perry is the tip of the iceberg but a constant parody of "Open your country or die" to various degrees, like in that Samurai Champloo clip. But using Hetalia is also another "Uh, that's the entire point of the series....."
@@marcoa6319 Even if the nukes weren't dropped, there would be even more casualties since the cowardly leaders would rather sacrifice their country than their own egos from surrendering. The Imperial Japanese would force women and even children to fight the allies with sticks. Yes, I agree that the atomic bombs were an incredibly inhumane way to win the war, and how much suffering it caused to Japanese civilians, but the casualties would've gone from 200,000 to 5 million.
As an American the last one with the Hotdog stand guy, was completely accurate. From California to Maine and our lone states of Hawaii and Alaska, salesmen are that loud and showy when it comes to trying to get you to buy their product. Whether it be a car or even a simple hotdog, if they want your business they will give it all they got. That is one of the most favored stereo types of Americans that even I could even agree with...
That English to Japanese interpreter was fucking spot on. I've heard so many American people speak Japanese without trying to replicate the accent lmao
English-speaking people cannot speak another language without bringing their accent into things. No matter if Brits, Americans, Canadians or whatever have you, their English-based accent always comes through with a vengeance. I swear, these are the only people in the world that just can't learn another language properly.
Are you implying that other people don't bring their accent to English? Because I've never met a non-native speaker of English without some kind of accent.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. There are non-native speakers of English who have mastered the language without any traceable accent. However, never have I seen any example of a case vice versa, neither personal nor in any form of media.
my favourite stereotype in anime is that everybody West of India, including Russia, has blond hair and White skin if they aren't black. I have dark skin and black hair curly hair with beard, so it's allways made me laugh. And to be fair, my favorite reverse of these Steryotype is how any western animation with even a hint of supernatural or scifi in it will indicate that Japan has allways been bombarded by Kaiju and ancient Japanese sorcery. And that's not counting our old, offensive steryotypes in cartoons, so we can hardly blame them.
These are good times. Stereotypes exist because of reality (most were based on reality which then typically got exaggerated a little bit). Good ol times where people can do these jokes or what not and the rest weren't just straight up offended 24/7.
Im American and honestly we do the same thing all the time thow we mostly are more open to foreigners so i just see this as funny and for some like the last one even us Americans make cartoons and memes just as bad to are selves like a well known cartoon American Dad
Technically the stuff from the Samurai Champloo episode was partially based on a real event. Back during Japan's isolationist period, American ships did essentially force Japan to open its borders for trade at cannon point.
True but opening fire? That was never an occourence, the Japanese were at negotiations before a single shot needed to fire. Plus it was more than just trade rights, the US didn't even demand those it was primarily about fair treatment of shipwrecked Americans andthe ability to use select Japanese ports for fleet rebasing.
In the Samurai Champloo scene, that was pretty much historically accurate. The US went in with gunships and said "This is what's gonna happen." As for spending money to gain super powers, that would be awesome!
"Anti-American propaganda!" > Literal satire designed to be goofy because they're comedy shows > Actual historical event where the US sent a fleet of warships to Japan and threatened to attack if they didn't trade with them okay.jpg
