Disrespectful, rude, loud gits


Yeh, some of the episodes can be interesting, but they don't seem to research or think at all.

They go to Japan, of all places, to treat the country as a playground.

Then they EAT in the trains (it does not make sense to me to say 'on the trains', as they ARE inside, not on top of them), and wave their food around while someone is sitting right next to them.

Then, they see all the japanese people sitting silently and staring at the portable hypno-rectangle, but yet they proceed to talk loudly and have a little party, like the stupidest little gaijins that ever infested the silent trains.

As if that wasn't enough, they started making AND receiving PHONE CALLS inside japanese trains.

I mean, this may not seem like much to an outsider, but you just don't DO that in Japan. You can friggin' FEEL the stress and anger building up in the japanese people in those trains near them, while they are doing their best to just endure the insulting invasion while cursing these baka idiots to the deepest depths of hell in their minds.

How do these morons have the audacity to go to another country, BREAK EVERY SINGLE RULE IN EXISTENCE and then act as if nothing happened?

The episodes were awful anyway - the fat, beardy maskface that looked horrible with that mask on, until he took it off... at which point you WISHED he had kept the mask on, who couldn't figure out how to use the devices properly, and as a result, you were forced to endure horrible close-ups of his ugly mutt with REALLY bad camerawork all over the place..

..not to mention his absolutely repulsive voice, his alcoholic red nose (only alcoholics have 'rules' about when to drink and when not to drink, because otherwise they'd be drinking constantly - normal people CAN take one small sip of Sake at 9 am, without starting a two-week bender, geez)..

The people run around in Japan, which SHOULD be very interesting - in theory. But all you see is inside trains and train stations, and upward angled shots of ugly men running around, and if you are lucky, you can detect a few buildings in the background while you listen to them pant and all that. What the F is this?

If I had ever seen THESE things first, I would NEVER, ever watched anything else these people have made. It's only because I saw that slightly more interesting 'Switzerland' stuff that made me even want to watch their Japan stuff (though now I wish I hadn't, because these people had NOT learned ANY japanese language before going there, could not read any signs (even if they were in kana), thought they could EASILY write Kanji and have it be translated to Rōmaji or kana, I guess, and then wondered why it didn't work..

..without realizing that the STROKE ORDER dictates what the picture 'looks like', so if you have the wrong stroke order, you are not drawing the same kanji..

I could go on, but holy cow are these people annoying that go to Japan to destroy everythign good in life and then think their videos were a success, while Japan is probably going to start a holy war on gaijins soon if this keeps happening. I mean, all that built-up frustration has to go somewhere..)

To be balanced, I will say something about Japanese conformism and childish thinking as well.

There are no trashcans in Japan.

Like, what? Why?

Well, apparently there was an 'event', so then the government reacts by appeasing. So.. removing trash cans stops terrorism! Who knew..

Any country that has trashcans, apparently has constant terrorist attacks and threat, but because Japan wisely removed them, now terrorists have NO WAY of attacking anyone! Brilliant!

Like, what kind of logic is this? A terrorist wants to bomb a train, but then sees there are no trashcans and is completely stumped and ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT TRY ANY OTHER METHOD THAN HIDING A BOMB IN A TRASHCAN?

(Yes, I know it was gas, but think about it - if YOU were a terrorist, would YOU let this kind of stupid inconvenience stop you?)

So a terrorist plan is foiled solely because thare are no trash cans?

That's exactly the kind of thinking that if we just have enough 'security theatre' and remove all liquid bottles from people, airports are 100%, ABSOLUTELY safe from ANY kind of attack.

Are japanese people this naive, or are the governments this manipulative?

Why did these people go to Japan without researching anything at all? I bet they broke every single rule when eating in a restaurant or something - I bet many japanese people murdered these loud twats in their minds a hundred times.

Is it any wonder Japan is so Xenophobic, when even supposedly 'civilized' visitors basically attack their rules and treat Japan as if it is some redneck countryside? THERE ARE RULES you are expected to follow, and you can't break them just because you are a foreigner.

It's just sad that those people that know the language and would absolutely respect the people and obey the rules and be actually respectful, will probably be hated and discriminated against because of THESE..

Forgot to mention the typical modern kid mindset: they see something absolutely mindblowingly ASTONISHING, something like the Swiss Alps, lakes, gorgeous architecture and the cutest villages possible, and what is their reaction?

'That's pretty.' said in a monotone voice.

Really? If THAT is just 'pretty', then what the heck does it take to make you gasp out of sheer admiration? I would be near speechless, or trying to find proper adjectives to describe the immense, rare beauty I am suddenly so privileged to be allowed to see..

..these people barely muster 'oh, this is probably my favorite place, haha' and about 8 separate occasions, 'oh, that's pretty' in a very unimpressed way, and THAT'S ABOUT IT.

What the heck is wrong with these people?

Isn't it enough they disrespected Japan in a major way by breaking their every possible train and public behaviour rule in existence, but they had to also disrespect Switzerland's sublime and evocative, almost mystical beauty by reacting to it in such a lackluster, casual way?

How about the way they said 'He's not in a MAGICAL place, it is just a place!'

How the F dare you?!

If an old, beautiful castle surrounded by the most breathtaking nature and amazingly soul-caressing architecture in the mountain villages of Switzerland is not magical, WHAT the hell is??

What is wrong with these twits? Seriously!

I can't fathom why anyone would watch them... Pegasus is sometimes right, but he certainly has bad taste when it comes to picking 'favorites'.

If your favorite youtube channel is ugly young people that talk like [forbidden word]s and discrespect every single culture, people and country they invade, casually treat every place in the world as their personal playground without any kind of actual appreciation as to what their privileged little rich kid eyes are seeing... you have some serious mental issues.

As a sidenote; what was that 'translation challenge' supposed to be about?

If you don't know any japanese, can't use a translation tool, can't ask anyone.. how are you supposed to not only read that sentence, but translate it, too? Heck, I would have had trouble with that, and I have translated longer things. I could only read a few of those kanji, and the only thing I could really discern from that was 'tree', 'you have to say this line' and a few other details, but not the whole meaning.

How was that supposed to work? Those challenges were pretty ridiculous. If I, knowing how to read kana and a few basic kanji, and can speak the language 'conversationally' without too many problems, couldn't complete that challenge, what chances do these gits who don't even know the basic social rules of Japan have?

Who thought they could complete that challenge? Is there a method of translation they could have thought of, if they can't use translation, take a pic, or ask anyone? Telepathically divine the meaning? What were they SUPPOSED to do, I am just curious. It would be one thing if they could ask strangers for help, but nope. So I am puzzled..

BEWARE! Avortac4 is a troll trying to waste everyone's time with such idiotic comments. Look at his posts. He doesn't think anything in any film makes sense. His post may seem like it makes sense in the first sentence or two. But he always quickly wanders off into a completely idiotic idea, and then writes a wall of text that makes no sense. And his sole purpose is to waste your time, thinking he's cute for doing so. Don't feed the troll. If you write a comment, you're giving this troll EXACTLY what he wants. Don't comment after my comment.

You're making a lot of sense.
