Comedy act in English -with fake gaijin noses and wigs- (Video)
October 5th, 2006 by James
In this video clip, Taka and Toshi don fake gaijin noses and wigs to perform comedy in English! An audience of foreigners has been assembled to replace the usual Japanese audience on this program. The object is to make the audience members laugh and spit out the balls in their mouths. Hopefully this video will last a couple days on YouTube before it gets pulled:

I think they’re just trying to use the only English they know. Either the audience is laughing because they were told to, or because they find the unpredictable crappy English routine of those two guys to be funny. I don’t think the jokes are meant to be particularly witty.
I think they actually were attempting puns, but they were making puns as if the words were katakana. It might work when you say those words in Japanese, but it doesn’t work the same in English.

I wonder how the Japanese would feel if an American put in fake buck teeth, wore glasses, squinted, and spoke in crappy Japanese. They aren’t funny and this is incredibly racist but the Japanese are pretty clueless about such things.
While I don’t especially mind them making fun of white people because it’s really quite pathetic, it is an indication of how they don’t have a clue about other cultures or exercising any sensitivity toward them.
