When I traveled to China, I saw a sweet looking grandma wearing a t-shirt that said "I like to be on top"
It might be my grandma
uh...i think she knew damn well what it meant.
I noticed how much of an easy time Chinese speakers have when learning how to annunciate English words.
Oh she knew what she was wearing.
@@itsthezeke9022 Yeah see, even God's on our side
One of the best examples of Japanese English I have seen was a list of the symptoms of the flu. They were all pretty normal except the last: "Feeling of worthlessness."
I had that flu last year - not a good time.
😂
MADAO
+EvenInArcadiaIExist LOL
I saw that one too! 😂 It also said that anorexia was a symptom and I was like wtf?
"star" is a cool English word
so is "innovation"
let's stick them together
no, we gotta make it plural, we got more than one of them
"star + vation + s"
"starvations"

"Japanese business man noises" 😂🤣
this actually makes sense.

Damn, you cracked it :o
I saw a guy with a tshirt written "sorry Boys but this Girl is taken" on it.
i dont see the issue is it the capitalization? sorry just want to know
@@whoopsieskk Its a GUY wearing that
@@alifizharulhaq3370 it also refers to the wearer as a female when he was male.
DID YOU BIGOTED TRANSPHOBES JUST ASSUME THAT PERSON'S GENDER? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT XE IS MALE OR FEMALE? WHAT IF XE DIDN'T IDENTIFY AS A MALE YOU HATEFUL, CRUEL BIGOTS???
@@guyfawkes6428 Are you joking or are you serious? I am bi myself dude I ain't assuming anything. I just think that he didnt understand what was writing on it because my people dont really know much english.
I ate a banana today. It was so bananaful that I flew like a scallop. It was like magic.
"It was like [a] magic!" ありがとうゆたさん!
Ah Yuta is soo cool!!!
Did you wash your manly body afterward? Please, daddy...
When's the next video Yuta??
*like a magic
Once saw a menu item for "chicken rude and unreasonable" which I think was meant to be chicken jerk
Looool
😂😂😂
Well played sir, well played.
Rude boy chicken
No, that was a mistranslation of a Chinese word which means “pungent” (with “rude and unreasonable” being one of the secondary meanings).
Once, I saw a girl wearing a hat with the words “Need Porn” written boldly on the front.
Nah that girl knew what she was wearing
JJBA
@@tripler9608 Why would he need porn?

@@TheReal99Gamer But why jojo's bizarre adventure?
"J'adore" on an Italian flag.

Can explain me, i don't undesten
As a black man, hopefully no one tries to wear me while I'm strolling around in Japan.
XD this made me laugh.
Lol. Black people dont have internet.
Yes they do, it's called DarkNet
Same...
You are hilarious 😂😂😂
I saw an older Japanese woman on Mt. Fuji wearing a hat that said "PERVERT" in big, bold letters across the front. Hilarious!!
Now you know why they live so long
I want that t-shirt hahahhaa
There was a kid in Harajuku wearing a T-shirt that said “Don’t arrest me. I’m not a terrorist.”
Engrish clothing merchandise is one of my favourite things ever
As if the hat alone wasn't funny, the age of the woman wearing it makes that even more hilarious! Be wary of perverted, middle-aged women on Mt. Fuji!
There are some toilets with baby seats for women to put their baby in when they pee. Cool, I thought. Clever. Then I read one of the warning instructions: *"Don't fold the baby."* Don't WHAT?!?!
Mom folded the baby
69
They were probably fold-up seats and they don’t want you to try to fold it up with the baby still inside. But who would try it?
I'M DYINGHDKSIDKFISIFLZM
It's good advice
My favourite was a backpack inviting you to feel the soft texture of the material on the rear of the bag. It said "Please touch my backside."
the capsule hotel I visited had this rule: "The man doesn't put it in the female zone".
Me: right... gotcha. damn.
Caspar Barkey I wonder what rules they’d advertise in a love hotel... 🤔
Ok I actually loled at this
Welcome back, to the Female Zone
@@Haha-Jim can you? Either no romance allowed or stay out of the female restroom?
@@Bossshrew Within the context of how capsule hotels work it's pretty obvious. The capsule spaces are separated by gender, so clearly you're not allowed to enter the female zone of the hotel. Further on you're also not allowed to have sex in the hotel as you can't bring the other sex into capsule areas and probably also not allowed to be more than one person per capsule so no homosexual shenanigans either.
In japan I saw a shirt that said "Smell of a new period" on a young man. :,D
Maybe the makers meant "Smell of a new era" :D
Eeva Nikkari OML 😂😂😂
Its not technically wrong but the wording is kind of off.
Bccaundefined why does this sound so wrong (I know why ok)
I freaking love this guy...he makes me laugh so damn hard.
smells like teen spirit
This was the best laugh I’ve had in a long time. Please make another one sometime.
Omg! Yes please
You might've seen it already but he did :D
Yeah he is funny and Chris. Spacejam is a classic
During my visit to the great wall of China many years ago there was a sign that said Forbidden to Fall
Very communist mentality. Anyone who falls will be treated as a traitor and promptly executed.
@@B3RyL double execution!
Many years ago I bought a RC Car that had the following in the manual:
"Personal store murder is not included in servicing".
What no wonder some people murder a person using a bomb RC car...in GTA vice city
Once I was in Thailand, and on a menu was "Fried Friend"...
Haha what
I like them especially when they are good salted with some Curry powder.
No..... I've died
Nice. I suggest you bring along your friend next time
One fried friend please.
In Peru I encountered a lingerie shop with the name "Kids made here". I still find it funny. And yes the lingerie that was sold there was rather "inviting". :P
Well are they wrong?
It is now at 69 likes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Nobody should ruin it.
Ran across "Sexual Harassment Space Cherry" in Shinjuku on holiday. Also a series of unfortunately named photo booths called 'Cyunt'.
"Bon Jovi" is a Joke of the shopkeeper probably.
It is "Bon Jiri" actually.
Bon Jovi chicken is probably what you can afford when your six-string been hocked. I wouldn't be surprised if Gina works at the diner all day either.
@@jenniferstine8567 Did she cry in her sleep?
Haha reminds me of I sign on a car repair shop in rural Oman... "for the repair and attempt to repair motor vehicles". I think it's the most honest sign ever
Hey someone in Oman high five
Yea was there 5 years working on both new airports
@@travelswithsi8932 oh great airport is quite huge great work
@@rickythomas9698 Thanks Ricky, cant claim all the applause... only maybe 90% ;-)
@@travelswithsi8932 yeah love the new airport
Duuuude this works the opposite way as well, I was at Ross with my sister and we found a hoodie with the words shoe hat in Japanese and we laughed at it for five minutes
And non-japanese people are getting tattoos in japanese kanji which literally mean "deep shit" or "failure" and are proud to show it off like they are fuckin super ninjas lol.
My friend told me she saw someone in London with a tattoo that said 台所 (kitchen).
Chris mentions this in some of his other videos. The use of Japanese on English or US T shirts and tattoos is hilarious to Japanese people.. Apparently it's usually gibberish.
I heard this joke about some tourists who were wearing a T-Shirt with Japanese Kanji and thought they were wearing something profound like “Peace Love & Harmony” until they noticed some Japanese people across from them on the subway train who looked at their shirts and started laughing. When they asked them why they were laughing the Japanese people said “Do you know what your T-Shirts say”? and the tourists said yes they mean “……” and the Japanese people said “No they don’t, they say ‘Stupid Tourists Don’t Know What This Shirt Says”. 😂
I was in a Japanese shop and saw a tote bag with a monster on it and it read "I think square best shape in world"
Someone was just informing you that square is in fact, best shape in world, nothing wrong with that.
At Nijo castle in Kyoto, there are a couple of signs for tours, one says "Individuals" and the other one says "Groupsiduals"
Now THAT shows some language creativity!😂🤣😂
"Groupsiduals"... maybe it's for conjoined twins
@@FIRELORD767 Or hiveminds. Either way, very progressive.
I regret not buying the shirt I saw in Tokyo that had “NO SMOKING, NO LIFE!” on it
I've been to a restaurant that had a banner saying "No Ramen No Life" - interesting
Natsuki would love that shirt
No Game No Life
No raifu
That's actually a really Japanese thing to say xP
Oh...Sometimes, in Canada, everything is bilingual. Exepte that many companies forget to hire someone who actually speaks french. So you have wonderful details such as "Litière de chats" as a translation for "cat litter" exept that "de" implies that the litter is made out of cats rather than being for cats. Also...one packet of cookies with this wonderful translation: "ménage à trois" which translates to "threesome".
Lilas Duveteux there’s a wine called that tho lmao
hentai est très bien
oui oui *laughs in french*
Menage a trois is kind of a surprising mistake to make, as that's quite well known in english - common enough as a borrowed phrase that most english dictionaries will list it, just like certain other French phrases common amongst English speakers like "bon voyage" or "tour de force".
@@lartrak yeah that's just people who knew what they were doing and thought it was funny
Ah, but in French, is "ménage a un" a euphemism for having a wank?
I saw a sign the other day that read "LITTERING IS FINE"
the childrens cloting store cracked me up
"starvations"
It could be derivative of the word "star."
@@joeiken3357 I thing they were trying to say "salvation" as it means what they likely want it mean and is spelled and spoken similarly.
You need to make a series of this
I think that is a fabulous idea.
Yes, he should!
I also agree.
If you want examples without the running commentary just go to www.engrish.com/
Yes, he should and you, Ms. Mochi should be in it!!!
Thanks for all these treasures, Chris, I couldn't stop laughing. I found this friendly warning on a menu in a tiny restaurant in Kyoto: "We cannot deal with vegetarianism. In everything is used fish" The fish tasted quite fresh though.
That’s like what Gordon Ramsay would say but more polite
When I was in Vietnam, they had french fried in the menu. Never try to "colonize" another country, or you will end up on their menu. XD
Brilliant

The best memory of botched English translation I have is from two years ago in Prague... It was right after the death of bassist Lemmy from Mötorhead. There was an English newspaper in the café on the first floor with the headline "Lemmy killed by death".
Sammie1053 I feel like death is the cause of many people dying.
People die when they are killed
Much English, such meaning, wow.
@gatheringoflight true! RIP Lemmy! \m/!
A classic Chapulín Colorado episode (the comedy show Bumblebee Man from The Simpsons was based on) is literally titled: “The dead cadaver of a deceased that passed away by dying.”
Just to be sure. ⚰️
On my travels through India i found plenty of establishments labeled as a "Cum Restaurant's",
but my personal favourite had to be a bakery called "Bread Pitt".
Karlos Dude you have no idea what they write in the appointment and paid in India lol btw I am from India
in cape town there's a store called Amy's Wine House...
If you saw any signs saying stuff like "Bar cum restaurant" it actually means "Bar and restaurant"
Bread Pitt isn’t engrish, it’s pure genius
@@karlaflow The ultimate food pun!
i vividly remember being like 10 years old back home in my non-english speaking country and i found a black tshirt in a thrift store. it said something like "I am a virgin. But this T is old". And I had no idea what it meant but i liked the design and mom, who's AN ENGLISH TEACHER, cracked up and let me buy it................................. love u mom
There's a bad movie called Pod People. A guy is wearing a shirt that says "I'm A Virgin." Looking at this guy I believe it. It's an American movie, so it's not a mistranslation.
I remember the Virgin tee shirt. The Irish version read “I’m a Virgin” and then in parentheses in a smaller font “(this is a very old shirt)” The boy who wore it was legendary for his, er, dating behaviour. His nickname was Eight-Hands (In Gaelic, Ocht Lámh). Nobody doubted the accuracy of his tee shirt logo.
The best one I've seen while in Japan was the package for a shower cap. It said
"It will make you feel Tree"
When I lived in Japan the faucet in the dorm kitchen broke and the maintenance guy put a note on it: "the faucet appears to have got a shock. was your dishes in the room as it recovers."
that one really got me xD gj
omg, the faucet must have seen some terrible things. #PrayForFaucet
i'm shook
One wonders what have they been washing in the dorm kitchen that shocked the faucet ^_^;;
I'm in physical pain from the banana!
I once passed a crepe stand in Kyoto where the crepes were described as being filled with "Flesh Cream". I think they meant 'fresh cream' - but none the less I was quite weary to try it. My Japanese friends didn't quite get the laughter.
okay now this is epic
I know it's been 2 years since your post, but it's because most Japanese people have a hard time differentiating between what's supposed to be an R sound and what's supposed to be an L sound. The reason being that in Japanese, they make a sound that's in between the R and L sound, so you'll see it often that these get mixed up when it comes to English. Hope this helps explain it! : )
@@HinaMitsuki24 Yeah... But it's so weird. Like you google image flesh cream or fresh cream quite easily to get the correct description.
I think they thought to fuse "star" and "innovations" and that made "starvations". OOF
👨💼: Yep 🤦♂️🏪🎏
I once bought a notebook at the 100 yen store that had a photo of puppies in a basket on it. The text said "small dogs jammed into box." A fave of mine was a beer making kit that said "Let's beer!" all over it. I find that a useful expression for many occasions.
Talking about odd English, I remember once in Spain, a restaurant had translated chicken breast (Pechuga de pollo in Spanish) as chicken boobs. I just couldn't stop laughing!
andresmoisesjua CHICKEN BOOB
in london there is a restaurant next to the globe theater called Zizi , ... that's the french word for like willi , or like kid friendly way of saying penis
Spain is usually quite good at translating to English, as many Spaniards speak English..."...with the obvious exceptional of the “Boob” restaurant owner. Surely. he knew what he was saying was just a bit out of line.😏
'
Pechuga is breast in spanish, so that is correctly said
Chicken boobs would be, tetas de pollo
At my local Chinese takeout there is a dish called chicken in Wikipedia flavour.
The taste of knowledge!
Erin Beevs very nerdy flavour!
Elijah B Try the fried 404 page not found.
@@mvl71 If you can find it on the menu.
Woah, we're halfway theeeeere/ Whoooooa! Chicken derriere!
I have a couple from my travels in japan.
"Beware of smoking or bonfire"
"Never leave" and "Baby rest inside" (in a women's bathroom)
"Thank you for use. Slowly. Please relax." (On a toothbrush's packaging.)
"It is very delicious rice cake. Please for a souvenior."
"The sweets politely finished up. It is delicious of the surprise. Surely, we will send happy time to you." (On an ice cream cup)
I also had another one which was absolutely hilarious, but it seems I've lost the picture of it so I can't remember what it read. ;_; It was in a fitting room in some clothing store and it was about taking off your shoes. I still don't remember what it said but I do remember that it spelled shoes like "shose" or something like that, and everything else on it was also similar innocent gibberish as what read on that ice cream cup.

In Ethiopia we ordered a meal, and they tried to write the bill in English and ended up writing "Sex Thunderday And Fruntlyloof". We each ended up paying a large amount of money so they could just give us the change. We got no change.
To this day we still speculate just how much Sex Thunderday And Fruntlyloof is worth.
Najey Rifai Maybe they thought the extra cash was a big ass tip
that looks like 642 to me lol
Oh my gosh what a story!
Wait a minute, Ethiopia had meals?
maybe that did that on purpose ... and hoped you would just over pay not knowing how much it was and they just kept the extra ... i think you got scammed hahaha
I remembered this video so I googled "black man underwear" and oh boy I did not think that one through
3:47 they clearly mistranslated "vegetarian" to "woman-friendly".
HolyMith vegans are shemales or women confirmed
actually no. heh! 'woman friendly' isn't about meat or vegan. ladies in Japan are VERY self-conscious about their 'scent' and 'does my breath stink?' and 'is this very salty, spicy, or have a strong taste?' so to bring in more ladies... restaurants advertise dishes that don't have a lot of heavy spices, spices/herbs etc. that may come out in human sweat, tons of salt/MSG, or have seriously strong taste like liver and tripe and other 'manly punch you in the face like Chuck Norris' flavors.
@@lesliekilgore648 Damn they really put a lot of thought in everything😂
@@abhilasha9608'the woman friendly thing' on menus, it's a cultural thing. only started about 20-ish years ago. there's actually restaurant chains in Japan that are famous for their 'woman friendly' menus and advertising about it. i personally think girls around the world need to 'man up' a lil tiny bit and just eat normal food. but that's just me, i'm not an insanely picky eater. except for liver. and pimentos. yuck. :P
@@lesliekilgore648 That's awesome tbh 😂I'm not a picky eater either, I can't live without spices! But I'm vegetarian though,so when I go to Japan I need to plan out a lot 😂
Oh that food is woman-friendly? I've been looking for woman-friendly foods for such a long time now! Everyday I'm starving!
Woman friendly - extra friendly for feminists
It may just be a name. But am hoping it's woman friendly because it's low calories. As they don't want over weight women.

Coming back to relive the hilarity that is Black Man underwear, and just had to put this out there: Chris I miss seeing more of these kinds of videos from you! The witty Britishness, you're like the Jeremy Clarkson of Japan, but with the arrogance knob turned way down haha. Its classic, subtle humor and its fantastic.

My experience with English marketing in East Asia: a skyscraper in Xining, Quingai (China) with GIANT neon lights sprawled down the side that say "Baby Party Number 5". My colleagues and I spent some time trying to locate Baby Parties 1 through 4. We were unsuccessful.
A second favorite was a small convenience store in Beijing called "Daddy's Girl", owned and run by one middle-aged man.
I have never really realized how good he is at choosing the background music. Now that I've noticed, i can't but to see more examples of him making great decisions.
I burst into laughter many times here.

"Erogance" ooh, it's going with "Ero" and "elegance" ....such concept blew my mind!
but it said erogamce
I once owned a shirt that said "Are you romantic type?". I knew what it meant, and I kept it anyway.
I saw a hair salon in Osaka, called "IT'S HAIR". But it wasn't a big surprise actually. I live in a small town in Germany now, there's a second hand clothing store called "TWO HANDS FASHION".
They sell gloves I assume?
@@justoneviolinist4953 probably.
There is a beauty salon here in my German city that reads: make me beauty. Since I’m not a native English speaker I wonder: does that make any sense? Sounds wrong to me.
There used to be a cleaning business in my town which was called Speed Limp.
While exploring Harajuku, my friends and I stumbled upon this goth store named "Sex Pot Revenge". The sign outside of the store also had this magical line "Decontrol of war, no feeble bastard". Honestly, it was the most profound thing I had found on my journey and it's a piece of wisdom I still carry with me today.
McKenzie Dunwald Sex Pot Revenge would make a good name for a band.
this one is amazing as i have absolutely no idea what the message intended to say xD
Sounds like a cool record store you'd find Abigail and Sabbat records in.

My favourite store in japan is called something like "The Heart Store" due to their slogan "There is a heart in our store", like there is just a real heart sitting in a glass case in the middle of the store.

My favourite crepe shop in Harajuku's slogan is 'Come on sweet girls'. As enticing as that is, 10 a.m is a better time for crepes and a bit to early for..ah..
Not to mention a Ramen shop I went to in Shinjuku that offered 'Jews ear' Ramen
Maybe it was creeps shop :P
To be fair, it *is* a kind of mushroom (Auricularia auricula-judae). I'd be worried if there were no mushrooms in the ramen, though.

Brilliant exposé as usual - love your channel and your most amusing delivery. I've only been to Japan once for 10 days and loved it, but yea, the Engrish provided another dimension to my enjoyment
This has become my fave RUclips channel. You rock Chris and I'm sure you'll find love in Japan!!!
I think what they were going for with Starvations was a portmanteau of "star" and "innovations" without factoring in that starvation is an actual English word with a significantly different meaning
I went to a store called Tai Ping. It's a super market that sells Asian food. We went to look for some Kikkoman and ended up finding Crap Paste (Crab Paste).
One of my favorites when I visited Japan was "Oops! Hair!"
Also the "Hiroshima Grand Intelligent Hotel"
Oh, and a sign outside of a porn shop that said "demonstretion" 😬
Elotic is called Ero in Japanese.
Ero + EIegance ＝ Erogance
That is not a spelling miss but a coined word.
True... but it said "Erogamce"
Elotic? Do you mean 'erotic'?
EroGame to be understandable
i lost it when you smirked after "secret sexy club." and “halfway up the chicken's---"

Thank you so much for this!
Having a bit of a stressful day and fell into the rabbit hole that is RUclips. I have laughed to point of tears. Thank you!
I don't normally write comments on RUclips but I am obsessed with your channel and it has inspired me to start learning Japanese.
Awesome - if you're a beginner download an app called Human Japanese. If you're more than a beginner, use Genki textbooks. Godspeed and goodluck
Will do! I enjoyed the video. Keep smashing them out my friend!
is it worth the 10 dollars or should you just go with lite version?
Definitely worth it - but try the Lite version first and see if you think it's good.
when i download the app it says that it need to download something and when i click yes it says no connection. i have tried with both wifi and 4G :((((((

Ah I REALLY needed a good laugh. Thanks very much for that. You've made a terrible day just a bit better. Don't ever forget your channel makes a difference in peoples' lives by bringing them joy. Cheers, mate.
I am having a bad day today but I have to admit, this video cheered me up. Thank you Chris.
I once saw a Japanese sign saying "Disformed Man Toilet" guess only people, who just had a horrifying accident and need to go and pee, or poop, can go
Arthur Jakubiec That name is hilarious lol 😂😂😂😂
Handicapped men's room?
Today, I saw a really grumpy looking old man with "GREAT FUN" on his T-shirt.
I’m from Sendai and living in NY!
Love your channel!!
Give us more Engrish!
(You've really been key in getting me interested in Japan. I started on the language the other day and will book a visit when the world is looking a little less crazy!)
