Awesome! I could really learn from this guy! I always take forever to dress up!
but what about shower?!
He probably takes his shower before he goes to bed. Wouldn’t do you much good in the humid summer time, but who knows.
That lady in the audience who kept leaping to her feet must really piss people off at movie theaters!
No wonder Noriko left him.
That’s a really good way to tear up your nice suit, but the 2 seconds you save putting it on that way could also be saved if you wore slip-on shoes instead of ones with shoestrings.
When is this from? Haven’t seen Moe Yamaguchi in ages.
It aired just a couple weeks ago.
japanese take a bath in the evening. so they don’t take a shower when they get up! seems gross but hey! japanese do alot of gross stuff for example taking bath after someone has just finished.
What’s wrong with showering in the evening? It’s not like you grow more deadly germs overnight. Besides, I’m sure you do a lot of “gross” things too which the Japanese consider intolerable.
Japanese are gross because they don’t shower in the morning, meaning they start the day already pre-dirty.
Non-Japanese are gross because they don’t shower at night, meaning they spend the night wallowing in the filth they’ve accrued all day. And it’s a rare person who washes the sheets every single day.
The only reasonable non-gross approach is to bathe before bed, and then to bathe after waking up. And that costs both money (water and heating gas costs) and time. So you end out just picking which variety of gross you want to be.
Bathing the western way is extremely gross, because it means to wallow in ones own filth. Japanese people only hop in the bath aber washing themselves, which is much better.
It would be beter however to just shower instead of filling a bath tub.
I think he could make it within 3 minutes, he was talking all the time with the audience, that’s why it took 5 minutes..
funny though
I’d be curious to see what tricks he could come up with if he had to shower/shave too.
This reminds me of Rowan Atkinson’s “Mr. Bean Goes to the Dentist.” Search for “Mr. Bean Late for Dentist” via YouTube (my comment with the link is stuck in the spam filter).
Japanese don’t hop in the bath after someone in the same way they take a bath in the US. You wash yourself first, then you get in the bath–so its more like having jacuzzi w/o the jet streams every night. Personally, I think Japanese people tend to bathe more consistently than americans.
No comments on brushing his teeth BEFORE eating breakfast?
People do that, what does it matter? There are even people that’ll “EWWW” you for not doing that.
