Not funny.

kind of funny.
might reflect how some gaijin think of the way the Japanese think of them?

Those wacky Japanese! What will they think of next?! Second commericial for Bye Bye Gaijin spray.

wow talk about a bad satire. who ever made this needs a comedy coach and btw you can tell that those “Japanese” actors are probably Chinese or Korean because of their accent and how they pronounce their katakana.

definitely needs more spice.

to think they filmed and edited all this without even putting time into creating a real comedy scene. Another victory for Youtube!

wow sophisticated satire , I think not ..

replace gaijin with N####R and how funny do you think this is.

get you tube to take this crap off

if this was made by a japanese person , its racist
if this was made by a non japanese person , its not funny and racist.

yeah! those so called “gaijin” are clearly Japanese with wigs and a lot of makeup on (and they did a terrible job by the way, I can see right through ‘em), they’re not willing foreign participants with a sense of humor at all!

maybe they should replace gaijin with gary.

Relax man, they just suck at comedy…not everything on this planet is racist.

It’s also pretty obvious that these “commercials” were made by gaijin themselves. I doubt they would be racist towards themselves!

It’s funny how white people react to their first experience of isolation or mild racism in a foreign country that they chose to come to.

These videos reflect how some people imagine Japanese to think of them.

how about foreigners who don’t have a choice in being in Japan? Like mixed race people with a Japanese parent who are called “gaijin” all their life? I don’t think this is very funny at all.

I never said that I found the video funny, quite the opposite in fact. Read again.

awesome. seriously, only half of you thought that was funny? japan is great, but these commercials are 100% accurate.

They weren’t funny, but they weren’t not funny.

I wish there was a “mediocre” option. Haha.

Does it work with people in my country if it’s not Japan?
If it does I want one.
