Honestly ever since I learned about Dan Shncantspellthat and more recently how Jeanette was treated on the show and the trauma she has from it I view this show very differently. makes me sad because there's a lot of nostalgia behind it but now at this ripe old age of 26 I can't look past it
@leirawhitehart1236
@leirawhitehart1236 2 года назад
Yeah, I feel similarly, and it sucks, because I *still* find this show funny! Like, it's so sad that so much joy can be drawn from so much degeneracy and pain so long as the curtain stays where it is. Like, I whole heartedly disagree with Alex in that I think this show still works today, it's just the problem is how it was made and who made it. So much talent wasted because of bad decisions and terrible treatment. Sad in many ways for many people, Jeanette especially. So yeah, I know what you mean, and I agree.

10:35 On top of the fact that all these Japanese people speak perfect English, a hunch and a quick Google search confirmed that Yuki is played by Harry Shum Jr, aka Mike Chang from Glee (one of my favorite Glee characters). He was born in Costa Rica, but his parents were Chinese immigrants. His first language is Spanish, though he hasn’t spoken it fluently since he was 6, then he learned Cantonese (a Chinese dialect for those who don’t know) and English.

I had seriously forgotten about this movie entierly, it's funny how watching this video made me remember a bunch of things from around that time. In regards to Alex's last question it does happen, whenever I found like an old notebook or see a picture of me and my highschool friends I look back and think "Wow I used to do so many weird stuff" or "I can't believe this thing was so popular back then", it does bring the feeling of some sort of evolution, I guess that's part of growing up.

Me and my concert buddy traveled across the country, went to different states, and did entire legs of tours sometimes and I always was able to eat well, stay in nice hotels, enjoy myself, and have these experiences.

@@thatamericanbritishbloke5672 it's because it's a more foreign country than others since it didn't open to the world until recently vs other countries so the only way you could be exposed to it was through tv or maybe products that came from Japan. Because people couldn't go to Japan, there's just a unique foreigness/exoticism to Japan and it was not affected as much by colonialism (like their culture wasn't changed significantly by western countries). It doesn't help that everything that came through seemed very weird or unique (or it was the fact that it was different because again, not westernized) like Takeshi's castle or Japanese tv ads or anime. Recently it's because we're all weebs but there's also just a butt load of things to do in Japan that is not shown in any of these American tv shows. Japan is essentially a tourists dream and you can probably be in Japan a long time and still haven't gone through all the cool stuff that Japan offers

I've been living in Japan since 2004. This place is definitely somewhere you want to visit and not live. I've enjoyed my time here but the shine wears off after the first few years. Time has certainly gone by very quickly. I would recommend to anyone who comes to visit Japan to explore other regions of it. Japan is more than just Tokyo. Tokyo gets pretty boring. I haven't gone there in 3 years. There are so many more beautiful places to visit in different prefectures.

@G-Taehyung There is always a bit of culture shock when moving to a new country. I had lived in Korea for 3 years prior to Japan so I was used to moving to a new country. I would say the biggest cultural thing in Japan is repressed feelings. People never truly say their feelings so you never know where you stand with them. That seems like it would be a good thing as you'd never hear anything negative but it can also be extremely frustrating too. I continue to enjoy the food, the music and the beautiful scenery, the mountains, etc. That being said, when the three main flavors of food are soy, miso and salt, it gets old after the first few years. These days, I make my own food and try to eat more western things that aren't so bland.

Hey Alex, I know you probably won’t read this, but I just want you to know how much your videos helped me. Last summer, I was going through some of the worst anxiety I’ve ever experienced and I remember discovering your videos and they acted as sort of a distraction/ coping mechanism for me. Everything from the format of your videos to your voice which is relaxing and somewhat nostalgic similarly to movies/shows your videos are often about. That bit of nostalgia from old stuff I used to watch helped calm me last summer, and although it may be weird, the nostalgia from your voice, personality, and animation has helped me this summer. I’ve always thought that nostalgia is one of the best passive feelings in the world and watching your new videos and even rewatching old videos really helps me. I can’t explain exactly how it helps me, but I’m thankful and I want you to know that your videos do a lot for people, at least me, beyond entertainment.

I had watched this when I was a kid and even I knew that it wasn’t accurate. My dad had business trips overseas and at some points he went to Japan. He would tell me all about how great the people were, how unique everything was, the awesome sights, even the weird game shows like ‘Wasabi Ball’. Despite all the differences though, he did nothing but praise how wonderful it was. Here’s a quote from him that I’ll always remember: “There’s some pretty weird things over there, but it’s a good kind of weird. We think it’s weird because it’s not the norm for us. People out there think we’re weird too. But what really matters is meeting them. If you really want to know what people around the world are like, you need to get out there and see them yourself.” A few years after he told me this, he, my mom, and I went to France. Tons of them definitely thought mom and I were hilarious because we were the complete confused tourist stereotype (a group of guys teased us by saying ‘bonjour’ in the evening). I think a comedy radio show mentioned the word ‘Americans’ at some point in a joke, but aside from those instances, a huge majority of them were really wonderful and patient with my mom and I’s dumbassery. A group even helped me out when I was lost despite the language barrier. They were obviously not the French caricature that was shown in the special and I’m positive that France has web shows that are WAY better than the one depicted as ‘France’s best’. Overall, this was just a plain racist special that painted other cultures in a bad light. Yes, Japan is different. Yes, France is France. That doesn’t define the people who live there though.
