2PProject: Ready to Eat Mr. Noodle? Good, Let's Cook it!
Hey guys! I recorded this a few days ago. I wasn't going to upload it because it was silly but I thought hey what the hell you guys might enjoy it!! So here it is.
Jack was invited to his Japanese girlfriend's house for a traditional Japanese dinner. Jack was in culture shock when he realized that Japanese people were ...
Ill take Japanese slurping over American blowing their nose *at the table*
any day.
Maybe it was my upbringing, but i have no idea why we (Americans) think
its OK to fart and blow our noses at the table.
+Ben J We don't do that. You must have had dinner with some hill billies in a swamp or something. Blowing your nose or farting at the table is extremely rude in western culture.
Stupid, obviously overdone. Overly simple as if a whole table's gonna react
that way just for putting chopsticks in the noodles. Almost racist how
overdone this is. Annoys me. Still I remembered watching this scene from
childhood and am glad it's up because it shows how much stuff we can really
find these days.
+Rich L It's supposed to be funny, obviously they hammed it up. You need to slow your roll, it's funny. This is coming from someone who loves and respects Japanese food and culture.
"Suki" in this case means literally the space between two things, in nuance kind of like "chink in the armor" (space between two plates of armor where a sword could penetrate and kill you). So "suki" really means weakness or area of vulnerability, which was translated as "hole" I guess.In Japan, people usually don't say exactly what they think because its considered rude to be blunt. The old man spat out what he really thought, and though the timing may have seemed a bit spiteful, he was finally being truthful. "Your batting has a weakness" was what he meant to say.
