"Imagine weebs and neo nazis interacting." You mean 4chan, right?

"The pizza is aggressive" is probably the best phrase possible that you could have chosen to translate into Japanese.

I used to take Japanese classes in 8th grade because I was really interested in the culture, it's so different than America, and it's just a pretty language. I walked in, and about 7 crusty weebs looked at me. One glanced at me, her cat ears twitching. It was, and is, still terrifying.

"How can you be gay in sign language?" Best quote

*"HOW CAN YOU SOUND GAY IN SIGN LANGUAGE?"* I fucking died

I double majored international business and japanese. Ended up having a mental breakdown half way through the first semester after not leaving my dorm room for a month due to severe anxiety (I should have definitely been getting treated all through highschool but my parent's didn't think I needed it). I was one of the two people in the class that actually tried and didn't weeb all over our professor. He was a cool dude and I feel super bad for inconveniencing him, he almost single-handedly built the Japanese programs at every college in my state. He even asked around about me when I started missing classes and was working with me to still pass with the required grade after I missed my midterm. It really sucks that I completely melted down a month later and had to leave. If I could meet him again I'd probably apologize too much to him about me leaving his program. Still do some self study but I don't learn very well without classes and someone quizzing me.

There are more kanji than there are stars in the universe.

"I am going to correct you and not let is slide" sounds like amazingly dedicated teaching. I wish my teachers were like that.

A biohazard of weeaboos? A depression of weeaboos? Yes, a depression of weeaboos. On the floor laughing from that statement. XD

Not gonna lie you're probably one of the funniest, realest channels on youtube. Fuckin' love you guys.

I am also a day walker weeb, and God did this ep remind me of my friend's friend's in high school. this was also back before 'cringe' was a term people used so I didn't have a word for why I couldn't stand the girl who 'was going to move to Japan and have her first boy friend be hot Japanese guy.' Rachel from California just in case you're some how reading this I always hated you.

According to people in Japan there's a ton of people who learn English to watch cartoons and movies

holy fuck. thanks for convincing me not to take a Japanese class. I've been going to japan like every two years as a holiday and thought. "ya know i should really do one of these classes so i can actually understand people when they speak instead of using translators on my phone" but, i think I'll stick with the translators on my phone now. B.t.w Your like the only channel on youtube that I actually wait for a new video for and drop everything im doing to listing to you guys. fucking great podcast as usual. keep up the hilarious stories

That Inuyasha kid killed me.

Similar thing happened when I was in high school. There was an adult night school Japanese class I attended with the intention of learning and having a chance to practice speaking with people who actually wanted to learn the language to travel or work and not "I WANT TO WATCH ANIME WITHOUT SUBS". It was multiple times a week, every week, and cost a significant amount of money. While most people in the class were well intended, there was one trademark weeb that must have begged his mom to pay for him to take the class. First class he was so excited, but after he realized that it would require work and we wouldn't learn by watching Naruto and analyzing tentacle porn, he lost ALL interest and wouldn't bother doing the homework or paying attention in class. The teacher, who was Japanese and therefore too polite to tell him to GTFO, would actually put up with him holding up the class for 5 minutes (actual) to figure out where we were, then to give a wrong answer. One class, he brought in a rubber glove he would inflate and deflate and play with. The entire fucking class. Obviously, he was too embarrassed to admit to mommy that she wasted her time and money on him because turns out, he'd rather watch Hetalia with subs. More than anything, I feel bad for the other adults who were taking the class. This one kid wasted their fucking time and money. No doubt I'm a weeb (I like traveling to the land of the rising Nip and studying its history/demographics/politics/etc), but holy fuck I'm not obnoxious about it and won't waste people's time over it.

"I wanted a Prius...but my dad wouldn't let me!" I fucking died.

A sephiroth of weeaboo's.

I fucking choked at that pronunciation of "syllable". Good grief, this episode was good.

That anecdote about the fat girl talking about that anime to the professor gave me 3rd hand embarrassment.

I wanna become a Japanese professor, specifically so I can break weabs over my knee, like how Bane broke Batman. Particularly the ones that assume everyone in the class only took it because of anime.

Being the one who knows Chinese in a company is actually horrible You don't wanna deal with Chinese people.

This is reminding me of being one of the only few girls in like CS classes, or engineering classes. It was a terrible time, but still fun to mess with people.

The JET program pretty much sounds like an easy way for Japanese teachers to get teaching assistants for basically nothing.

Revisiting this episode because I'm taking Russian 101 next year. Stay tuned for horror stories of Communist LARPers and future CIA agents.

Y’all’s best episode imo

The best phrase: "the weaboos continued" I laughed so much

i had a similar exprience with my media course. I do like anime but not hardcore, you couldnt tell by aperance. anyway my media class was full of obvious weebs and nerds. Im talking shirts, badges, one girl wearing cat ears, ect. I felt so awakward being in that class for that year being the only normal looking person and am not even the most normal looking guy out there

"you see that ludicrous display last night" nice I.T crowd refference

I really hope that my school has such a class. I need to see this phenomenon for myself. I need to capture and tag one of these weeaboos.

This was uploaded an hour and 30 minutes before I need to go to work, thanks

The Neo Nazis resonate with me since my school's torn between them and actual transgender feminist kids who actually get into gang fights

As somebody who legitimately plans to learn Japanese and visit Japan because I’m actually interested in Japanese culture. This serves as a “What Not To Do” for any Japanese classes I take in the future......then again the first thing I was planning to do in Japan was visit a cat girl cafe (if it exists).....regardless this is a great podcast episode. Keep up the good work :)

i have the perfect way to decide if you should learn a language: its called "ptip" Purpose That Isn't (entirely) Porn the porn can maybe come later, but dont learn languages for porn

Latin is similar in the aspect of masculine and feminine distinctions, but luckily I don't have to deal with anyone whining about it being sexist in my classes. Thanks to this podcast, I have learned more about Japanese than I ever will in my life. (Side note: you guys study at OSU? My Latin teacher studied there)

I'm in the middle of my Animation degree and I don't know how i forgot that weebs existed until starting here. There's groups of different fans of animation but the weebs are the strongest, followed by the steven universe :'(

I took Japanese to learn about another culture while also learning how to interact and speak to its people. Same reason I took German. I was embarrassed to sit in a class with all these weebs who assumed everyone watched anime.

I would recommend people to self learn the language. A tad bit harder, but if you are motivated you can do it and not only will you learn it better but you will also learn how to self teach properly. That skill is invaluable in College and University.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT FRENCH CLASS I'm a Spanish major (I love learning languages and about other cultures) and I'm in my senior year. Since I needed to fill more credits I decided to take intro to French because someday I want to get my PhD in romance languages (it's a thing). I go into class and it seems everyone is there because they think French is a cool language or they have French/Canadian/Swiss/etc heritage and want to connect with it more or they just want to learn a foreign language. Seems good, right? THIS ONE GUY He acts like he's French (he's not), he acts like he knows everything about French (he doesn't, I'm ahead of him actually), and he refuses to admit when he's wrong (he even throws a fit every time the prof corrects him). He acts like he's the only one who knows history or anything about learning a foreign language (even though another guy in my class already speaks 3 languages and I'm already fluent in Spanish AND I'm a history minor). He acts like he knows everything about French culture and even goes as far as trying to correct our prof on cultural stuff about France. And guess what, our prof IS FROM FRANCE. It was annoying as hell and he reminds so God damn much of the weebs in these stories

Shit, I actually want to learn Japanese though. is it really a bad idea?

kOnNiChIwA,,, kYoWa,, Yi, tE-tE-tEnKi dEs' neEeEeE????????

this is why I took french

Although I haven't really experienced something as severe as a random weeb talking to me like i'm their lifelong friend on the bus, I think I might have experienced a weird attempt at it by one of them. I have a Death Note key chain and a few pins of different characters on my bag and one day while riding the bus this guy in front of me was listening to music on his phone (it was anime openings with the lyrics/random pictures of the show on the background sort of video). He noticed my bag and started to deliberately show me his phone's screen in a obvious/non-obvious matter, you know like, holding it to his ear while the screen was facing me (even though he had headphones on) which he was not doing until after he noticed my bag. I was tired so I pretended I was falling asleep but i would sometimes open my eyes like as if I was fighting the "sleepiness" and the guy would put the phone to his other ear, which was closer to me, with the screen facing me (same video on replay mind you) and, he would oddly try to do some eye contact but would just drop his stare to the pins and key chain once I returned the eye contact. It's like he wanted to say something or more likely he wanted me to start a conversation by commenting on the video he was constantly playing on the phone and oddly holding at my direction. It went on for the remaining 15 minutes of the bus ride...

When I first watched this video I wasn't in college. When I rewatched it I was a year out of college with Japanese as my foreign language. How time changes perspective. Luckily my classmates and I were better students than the people they talk about.

I'm taking Japanese next year please help me.

Just discovered you guys, and you are hilarious!

Imaging a Japanese man showing up to English class like, "YASS BETCH!"

Man, stuff like this really gives a perspective of sorts. I was looking into TESL/TEFL/TESOL(aka teaching English, I have an interest in it) and I was looking at Japan as a possible location. Some research I had to do(long story) involved looking at the best areas to do it. I figured learning the language of the country I'd decide on trying to go to would be a good idea, but there was this subtle thought in my head about the stigmas and what-not. Although, that being said, I'm probably never going to be able to go to university for linguistics or anything else that will involve me going to a foreign country for any sensible reason, so it's kind of just not an option. Still, this was interesting to listen to.

There is a thing about speaking Japanese for weaboos. They are there to learn to read and stuff. After that getting pronunciation wrong and stuff is not that important. At least thats me with English. I can read really good, write okay-ish, and speak kinda badly. Since all I do is read English. That said I did not learn any English past Junior high school, since I don't really plan to go to England or wherever.

Yo I fucking hate it when someone starts talking to me on public transit. Pro tip for planes - stare forward, pop in some ear buds, and just smile (smile must show teeth)... no one will try to talk to you

for the love of god please do more of this

You know, as per my dads suggestion, I had wanted to try to save up money and take a tourist trip to Japan. Its been a childhood dream of mine as I was so into asian cultures, Japan included. Course, these days I've come to realize that, much like our own country, these places see foreigners just as well as we do(Which is not at all). And now, seeing this and the rise of nationalism on the global stage and the experience of many others who have taken a trip to these places themselves, I realize that, you know, maybe its best to let that dream die as well.

these are great subbed

1:11:14 nearly spit out my tea, that was a good one

Rewatching this as my little sister is taking Japanese for some ungodly reason. She is not a weeb and I don't think the girl has ever seen an anime in her life but I think her friend is who is taking the class with her. I am going to beg her to tell me the storys and see if this shit is universal

Thank you now I know how not to be a degenerate

Oh my god thank you for the laughs my god this is all hilarious

i imagine sounding gay in sign language is from the limp-wrist stereotype

will you guys ever do a lmtya about Davido-kun? I looked at the KZfaq thumbnails and I'm too scared to watch for myself

i kinda wanna learn japanese só i can understand the lyrics for some japanese music from the 70's that i listen to. The melodies are cool.

im glad i found this

i do like anime, i cant stand Otaku and Weeaboo's. I was born in the 90's so liking anime was a secret society thing and i miss that it wasn't mainstream like it is now due to the internet. I went to a Anime-con and omg....I hated it because there it was just too much. For example, fullmetal alchemist the voice actor of edward was premiering a live action video of the shot that u can't find online and when the movie was playing everyone was cheering over the video to the point you couldn't even hear what's going on. Then when caramelldansen dance comes out of the blue On "Que" Everyone starts dancing blocking exits and shit. After that I never went back. lol

If I have to learn a language, I'll do Japanese, because I really need that laugh after the terrible 12 years of school I've had

imagine how the gay man who learns Japanese from his boy friend feels

i saw a guy with a zaruba ring in a black trech coat and i was so close to asking him about garo

I've recently started (at OSU as well) and I'm doing a Russian and Math double major because I don't care about my well-being and Russia doesn't have as big a fanbase as does Japan luckily

From the town next to Gary, not nice. The police tell you not to stop at red lights to avoid getting robbed.

That chinese goomba luigi sounded like egoraptor.

I thought they were gonna talk about Filthy Frank's Japanese 101 series

Honestly, the sort of differentiation between levels of respect in japanese, like the difference in words with giving things depending on power, in a way it makes more sense than english, at least if we had words like that I could feel better about receiving them.

this is my worst nightmare

Lol all this is like, believable 100%. Lol we had super weebs that bled into all our illustration and animation classes. I can't wait to attempt a language class. I mean I suck at languages but I gotta try

Does anyone know what Dan says at around 47:00?? He's talking about what the professor wrote in the notebook, but I can't quite make it out..

nice vid

Nice.

This is the best japanese class I've ever had

Nobody will answer this, but I gotta wonder. What if one did take a Japanese class just for weeb shit, but they nonetheless actually took it completely seriously and weren't a complete goddamn tool about it. Would that cross the line twice and return to acceptable, or not quite?

49:08 Ah. I see you are ALSO of culture. Good to know.

"You can be gay or drive a Prius, not both." Hilarious.

woot woot early train fo the bad boyz

> Text translation is dying They've been saying that for 50 years already, and it'll take it 50 more to start dying for real. You are completely right about the process turning out to be much harder than an average person thinks and the fact that you'll never make a living unless you do technical translation, though.

That Japanese was so fluid man

I thought being polish and gay was impossible ?

Oh, I have soooooooo many stories.

God, now I'm dreading what the Arabic classes must be like.

gary Indiana? do my hero's live near me?

at least she could have spoke about a better anime to a professor

32:34 what was the anime you guys listed?

What kind of monster orders salami pizza just to take the salami off?

Suddenly I'm starting to want myself some *HOWAAAAAAAAS*

このビデオを見たらお前ら結構自信を持ってるじゃん。専門が日本語なんだから気になってマイケルたちの上手さを味わってみたいぜ。ご返事を待ってます。

1:13:02 Click on auto-text. "..Even translating things I enjoy like I translate Nazism.."

kobakechoo

I thought the goomba in the thumbnail was killercroc

eridan the school.

Actually got to interact with some young weebs in the wild today, and those little shits looked at me like I was crazy! So much for memory lane.

if i were japanese i would feel so mortified who am i kidding i already do

ピッツァが積極的になる!!

The term is a contagen of weaboos

I want potato salad

We also have the shit about how genders speak in our language
