chocolatechick729 it did rude

chocolatechick729 I really love the idea of saying thank you to clothes. I attached to everything and is hard to let go. This helps! 😁

@chocolate chick There is nothing shallow about living with inner peace and harmony in your own home! Clutter is such a stressor psychologically! Living with the few items that spark joy is a very deep and profound idea

thats incredible

I think she ahave a good mathod i don't think she is just cute an quirky

Well said... She's the queen of mindfulness to me. ❤️

yes to all of this

Heather Ahr I totally agree...

same thing i was thinking! Like they were totally making fun of her! Not even being fascinated

Heather Ahr I completely agree with you. They may not see it as helpful because they can afford to pay people to help them tidy, but konmari's method is so helpful for individuals who need the extra advice to help themselves. I think her book is so inspiring

yours-truly-shorty True!!! Didnt even think of the fact that they never have to lift a finger to clean unless they are showing someone how they want it done or decorating!!!

Years ago in Japan, a lady (she is a famous tv person but she likes to clean) came with her cleaning methods and a book. When she did a tv show segment the MC (in this case, a man)was laughing at her like what she was doing wasn't something good or great. That was akward to watch just like this one... If people don't get it, fine. But I wish they were more respectful to their guests...

give this comment a thumbs up if you LOVE ellen

+Melissa Casias I also agreed. It was bordering on disrespectful.

+Vini Ratheesh Yes I did! It's a great read.

+Melissa Casias It's Ellen, she a subtle racist towards Asian

+LoserlyCool that is not true

Yeah, iI felt the same too. That she wasn't being taken seriously. Japanese culture is so full of knowledge and spirituality that is worth to learn from them.

She may have also been exaggerating movement due to language barrier.

@ligia cruz, the Christian standard from a fundamentalist standpoint is that God is the source of all knowledge, reason, logic, etc., and that non-Western cultures lack a source of knowledge worth respecting, for that reason. For spirituality, it's a much larger problem. They discourage an open relationship with genuine spirituality, and see spiritual beliefs of outsiders as a reason for fear, anger, and ridicule, in any order you please. Even many less fundamentalist or less/not Christian people have some lingering version of this going on.

Ellen is known for her comedy.....She was very nice..the audience loved both of them...U guys need a "joy" chip in ur life...peace out

IKR? I speak English and Japanese fluently. I didn't find anything funny or hilarious with the way Marie was speaking; actually it was very informative and inspirational!

@@jun4466 same, not funny at all, it's a completely different language ffs of course the sounds and gestures are going to be different but there's nothing funny about that. Just because you don't understand what a person is saying doesn't make those words any less valuable. I guess Americans don't get that because they are so used to being talked to in English and never bothering to learn a second language :D

@@jun4466 they're so out of touch with the rest of the world i beginning to think most Americans never travelled abroad

確かにそういう光景はよく見るね。 何言ってるかわからないところを揶揄する感じ。 日本人は英語を喋れない（喋らない）っていう定説もあるけど。

oh I am japanese btw :-)

ikr, me too !

I thought I was the only one!

I read that as Asthma....

+CriLiC3 but actually look up ASMR

Yes I know what ASMR is. You misspelled Alan Rickman, by the way.

Camilla Ferrell she did it with Sofia vergara too, kept commenting on her accent

She does stuff like this with celebs not from English speaking countries

Camilla Ferrell Because she has a racist colonial blood of her forefathers running through her veins, hiding behind felt wing tolerance. As a minority myself I can smell nuanced racism from miles away.

it was almost with each Asian tbh and this "yeah that's what i said" joke.. ugh

Whats new?

True. He had fun with the guest, than make fun of the guest. Truly respectful, and his segment was a joy to watch. This was cringey.

Ellen is becoming worse and worse. She was much better 10yrs ago

Yup. Agree. Just watched it after reading your comment. And Stephen really showed being a better host.

The woman on the other side of Marie was rude when she said 'hows that different from what Ellen did' Not paying attention to how neat Marie folds clothes!

Exactly

Ellen make guest uncomfortable.she always cuts people off and is condescending!

Yeah, they clowned her.

Doesn't she always do that

I think people will just laughing on Ellen's reactions ans Ellen is always humorous like this. But yeah I wish Ellen took ger more seriously.

I am completely with you Mandi.

Mandi Via unfortunately i felt that too. Marie is so far away from judgment. I finished her Netflix series now. She is supportive not judgmental

@@athomewithnika6459 That's how I feel as well. She truly does not judge and just have the goal of helping people.

She is a comedian. Making fun of people is what she does for living.

Moon Child i completely agree! I have so much respect for Marie Kondo, especially for being on a comedy show in america and all the cultural things that make is more difficult for her.The way Ellen treats her in this segment is absolutely unacceptable and so rude. She needs to see the show of her and Stephen, that’s how you can be respectful, open-minded, while still making jokes

She mispronounced “tidiest” and then made it a joke. She’s making fun of herself, not of Kondo.

@@felipevasconcelos6736 she did it intentionally

@@felipevasconcelos6736 i think she did it deliberately

@@felipevasconcelos6736 ??? Yeah, actually not ...

B/c Ellen is passively aggressively racist against Asians

@@atriangle3647 actually, I think Ellen has a bit of a crush on Ms Kondo.

Ellen is lowkey racist toward anyone who isn’t white

@@Funnyowl69 tbh anyone who isnt English speaking she did the same to Celine Dion

I completely agree. I read her book and it changed my way of looking at and treating my stuff. I like Ellen but this just sent a mocking vibe to me.

Bro I feel so disgusted when Americans do that when meeting her (if you watch the show where she goes to peoples house to help tidy you'll understand what I mean)

I binge watched all the episodes in one afternoon. It is so good. The episode with the lady who had lost her husband was really touching and emotional. And Marie had the utmost respect and consideration for her. It's a Very special episode.

that's awesome!!

Exactly. But generally, Ellen's audience are like that.

@@ilangilang7185 idiots?

Obviously to make fun of her Like every single celebrities who guest in Even a Hollywood star

"Tiniest instead of tidiest"... It's possible that even though Ellen was joking, Marie was offended. After all, she commented on something that Marie may have been insecure about to begin with, and hearing it on national television only worsens the scenario.

Vera R

Being called tiny (physically tiny as in this case) in Japan is actually something girls take as compliment.

Mari D that's interesting! :)

@@Lusithane yeah, no one does "kawai" better than Japan...

ikr. it's cringey !!!!

I feel that too!!!

AMERICANS

I honestly don’t really see the insults other than the tiny comment

Interesting with the scandal ellen is going through right now

I absolutely love her tempo and delicacy with which she speaks.

it is true. traveling in japan is like magic, listening to the voices

yes! well said!

Yes, you are completely right Fruity Kitchen!

Very well put! While I was going through some things myself, I would grab things and instead if thinking and reasoning myself into keeping it, I focused on the "Spark Joy" aspect. Indeed a lot of things I had felt quite burdensome, because really I had been keeping them for the sake of keeping them, they didn't actually make me happy, and really I was never going to use them. It's a simple concept and was life changing for me!

sasuga ! masaka anime no koto wo suki deshoo ka ?

I couldn't. Back to the books, I guess.

@@mohamedlalioui8757 I don't particularly enjoy cartoons, however, Ms Kondo spoke clear and concise Nihongo.

@@brisbanerugby hhh to each his own i guess! learning methods differ indeed! personally i picked it up unconsciously through anime, study well mate "gambattene" and have a good one !

congrats

Corona84 agree i am japanese and the japanese are all about respect. Of course Americans don't know that.

Mega Girl I love Japan

Mega Girl agreed... I was extremely annoyed!! very rude of them! kinda reminds me of a mean girl attitude!!

American people and their famous dark humour...

ikr

Konmari*

oooooh wow

*tidy

I knew what I did when I wrote tiny ;) So chill ppl :P

You tell me! I saw a demonstration of her folding method this evening and I spent like 2 hours refolding all of my T-shirts XD

She literally does this to every guess that comes on her show,. I don't think she's racist I just think that's her personality to tell you the truth

How was she being racist towards her?

+0808sumire Actually Ellen always acts dumb and pretend to be understand of every language not only asian languages, I saw she also did that with Spanish and Mexican in her show. So I think she's not racist, it may be her personality. If she doesn't like asian I think she wouldn't invite any asian to her show. By the way, I'm also asian.

I can understand why it might come across as that, and i kind of thought the same thing, but in "defense" of ellen (for lack of a better term), i think she might be approaching that from a comedic angle to create a dynamic between the "straight man" (kondo) and the "foil" (ellen). Kondo seems to be a very confident public speaker and seems used to audiences and television appearances, leaving ellen room to act a bit silly and timid. I think her logic is to give kondo the space she needs to essentially demonstrate and promote her technique and book while appearing to be a bit powerless and out of her (ellen's) element for comedic effect. This keeps the audience laughing (or cued to laugh), which makes it more engaging, in terms of predicable rhythm, to the viewer. So, i think that her perspective on the language thing was meant to be a place of "i'm overwhelmed for comedic effect" than "this person is an alien and talks funny." I also wouldn't be surprised if this was semi-rehearsed beforehand, just to iron these types of things out and to make sure the segment stays on beat. That being said, i see your point. We focus on microaggressions more than we used to, i think, and that's helped cast a critical light on american culture and the stereotypes and tropes, sometimes destructive, that we take for granted without realizing it. At the same time, i believe that this can lead to us reading into things a bit too much and adding meaning and prejudice where there is simple humor or, at worst, thoughtlessness. Suspicion in the mind makes ghosts in the dark, so to speak.

Yeah I'm pretty sure she wouldn't discriminate towards the minority considering she's gay...

+Aaron Domanais I know! Her book is a bestseller and people swear by her method, Ellen should have been more respectful.

What is the book about ?

+Kszabus What is the book about ?

+NA It is about decluttering and organizing.

Ellie kemper, and how is she rude?

Japan has a dark side

Firstly Lasty Hahah true but i still think their adorable :P

DeadSilent Gaming *They're. I don't mean to be a grammar nazi but you've made that error twice now :P

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

They're *

I didn't interpret it as Ellen making fun of speaking a different language, it seemed to me like poking fun at the awkwardness of having an interpreter on set.

Diana Martin just watch her show on Netflix is called Tidy Up with Marie

Yes!!! She seems like she really knows what she's talking about!

yess😂😂

Rofl :)
