the office is the amazing show we all know and love because it's based off he akwards moments. The laughing relieves the tension making it less noticeable
Using the language barrier as the element to create awkwardness for an English speaking audience is a very cerebral take on comedy. I like this one a lot.
Caden Hembree why tf would the office have a laugh track in the first place that’s the dumbest idea ever. The whole premise of the show is that it’s a documentary, not some dumb sitcom
I'm currently learning Japanese right now in school, and my goal at the end of the year is to re-watch this sketch and finally understand every word if of it. Edit a year later: So we didn't learn a lot of dictionary words, it was mostly the written language and a lot of sentences grammar, plus some basic phrases. I understand a little more now but just barely. Luckily, there are three more levels of Japanese I can take the next three years, so hopefully by then I can achieve my original goal???
Okay, so at 2:30 when Maikeru and Dwaito are having that board meeting; I feel like I'm having a stroke because it's just such a weird flow of words. It''s kind of like seeing adult men talking like boys with some sort of severe dyslexia and brain damage.
I've worked in a Japanese company as an intern and I can guarantee everything portrayed here (especially the morning exercise and the karaoke part as a celebration of a departing Japanese head) is ON POINT!
Only thing a disagree is there is no separate desk for each employee. I wish it was like that. It should have been a long plank of a table with chairs lined like a canteen.
And everytime they celebrate something or just simply hanging out to get some drinks, they will clap their hands every 10 minute or so. There's always a reason to cheer and clap their hands.
@@Ryan-pg1tw Are you serious? First of all, I really don't think Steve Carrell comes to RUclips to look for comment about himself, second of all, he would probably laugh at this comment, and third and last, even if he wouldn't laugh, he wouldn't give a flying fuck what "chocolate giddy-up" thinks of his hair.

Okay, but seriously though, a Japanese TV show based on The Office that goes into the nuances of Japanese work culture sounds really, really interesting.
Haruka Takagi Kudos to you guys for being able to take a joke. That is a breath of fresh air nowadays. I'm glad there are still people who recognize that you can have immense respect for a culture and people and still poke fun at stereotypes. I'm a white, American mutt so there is admittedly not as much comedy stereotyping my demographic but what is out there I find hilarious.
Bill would've been the best choice for replacing Michael, too (and I don't mean, to play Michael, but to play a replacing character). What a missed opportunity.
@@linkfromzelda1002 it’s worth rewatching if you wanna get how funny it is that they swapped everything over to Japanese and used some Japanese mannerisms get the point across
This is a rare case of the anime being better than the manga then for sure. Check the numbers in fact I think as I’m typing this The Office (US) is the most streamed show on Netflix 😂😂😂
For people who don’t know Japanese culture, they actually do that dance in offices and classrooms. Same dance, same music. It’s not a joke 😂 Also, if you speak Japanese it’s even funnier
im glad you're here ! i love this skit so much, watched it so many times and i've never even watched the office XD im starting to watch the office right now hehe
It’s not racist. I’ve lived in Japan and they’d have a good laugh with this. Actually they might not see what’s funny since that’s pretty much how a local office works.
The awkwardness of how they just jump straight into the Regis commercial and then right back out again with no real transition is actually kind of perfect

"The secret? I killed Kim Jong-Un on purpose"
Meta moment: Michael’s mug actually says “World’s Funniest Boss,” but because he is Japanese and modest, he says that he is “JAPAN’S Funniest Boss.”
I can’t believe Steve carrel was casted in both the Japanese and American office, very cool!

They should have had Jon Krasinski cameo as White Jim for the prank LOL

kikicitypop he means at mastering that persona of Michael. Overall he’s just a great actor
Careful, weaboos might get offended.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an actual thing in Japan
@@seid3366 it’s close but not enough apologies and overtime work
I think every culture can relate to the silent pain that is white collar office culture
They probably just did some research or even talked to some Japanese people
I love it when some random cunt speaks for all of us.
this is the best skit ever made
No, the best skit was Dave Chappell’s “Blind Black White Supremacist”

Long live the Office!

The dude playing him actually got pretty accurate with John krasinskis facial expressions

As a japanese person, this was fucking hilarious. And what they're saying actually makes sense in japanese... kinda. They tried, A for effort.
the accent tho
kinda...ほんとそれなwww
but it was fun!!!!
Haruka Takagi I'm Japanese as well and I was laugh crying😂😂
Haruka Takagi Kudos to you guys for being able to take a joke. That is a breath of fresh air nowadays. I'm glad there are still people who recognize that you can have immense respect for a culture and people and still poke fun at stereotypes.
I'm a white, American mutt so there is admittedly not as much comedy stereotyping my demographic but what is out there I find hilarious.
It's the American liberal SJW's job to be offended FOR you, even if you don't want them to think they are trying to help you.
I want 9 seasons of this
Couldn't even 9 min
Does Michael still move to Denver in this one?
I was the 1000th thumps up. Nice
hmm. ten seasons. I have spoken.
ItsJetty wrong in so many ways
The giggle laugh was beautiful.
No one can play Dwight as well as Rainn Wilson. But if Dwight had to be replaced for some reason, Bill Hader would definitely be the best choice.
Bill Hader looks EXACTLY like Dwight's bobblehead figure!
I mean I think if Hader started or defined WHO Dwight was from the beginning I think it would’ve been better just because of how damn god he is.
@@wanted247ha8 yes, he is damn god lol
Probably the last time a white guy said “it’s funny cause it’s racist” on mainstream media and got a laugh.
Bill would've been the best choice for replacing Michael, too (and I don't mean, to play Michael, but to play a replacing character). What a missed opportunity.
Video: *Has no captions*
Anime fans: “My whole life, I’ve been waiting for this moment...”
It’s a call back you should know what they are saying by remembering the first episode. Captions would’ve ruined I think
@@wanted247ha8 I hardly remember what was said in the last episode.

Never heard a Japanese woman speak like that when I was living there.
That was clearly a voiceover.
All of the cast were clearly Japanese in the manga. Why does American media keep doing this?
i hate when they change things for the anime adaptation.
Nah mate, it was the Netflix adaptation that fucked everything up
I want mecha office.
to show that American can also do.
This is my favorite comment on this video.
It's funny how they captured the humility of the Japanese people, check
2:55
For people who don’t know Japanese culture, they actually do that dance in offices and classrooms. Same dance, same music. It’s not a joke 😂
Also, if you speak Japanese it’s even funnier
Yeah tho I considered it more of a "morning exercise" than dance
They actually don't but thanks for the false information
@@toragic3432 no, I went to a japanese school and we did this every morning
A Filth yeah they do it. So how about you stop spreading false information?
A Filth my mom did say she hated doing it as a kid.
Stanley is still black in Japanese lol
It’s funny because it’s racist 😂
Black people exist in Japan, too.....
@Ava Vikman of course, but they could’ve changed him into a different version of him.

Lmao riiiighhhttt!
Ngl, before I started watching the Office I thought Dwight was played by Bill Hader
bill hader as dwight schrute, my life is complete now
ha i even didn't realise he was in it! he blended right into the character
+rio rinanda ismar i only realised halfway through the vid...hahahaha..
i really thought at first it was dwight
yeaaaah finally and the guy who played dwight, at first i thought was bill hader
I never thought I would see someone else worthy of playing Dwight Schrute. I was wrong.
Bill Hader is literally Dwight but with an extra strong jawline lmao
Why am I only seeing this for the first time 6 years later?
im glad you're here ! i love this skit so much, watched it so many times and i've never even watched the office XD im starting to watch the office right now hehe
Dude I loved the office when it was still in its final seasons, I can’t believe this skit is 12 years old and I never saw it before either
I can’t believe it loved the office for years and just got this in my feed. What a gem!
You're not alone
Exactly
Slightly disappointed Michael didn't say "that's what she said" in Japanese
I think thats what he says at 1:24 ?
1:25 TO 1:27
He doesn't say that. At 1:24 He says, "What is that?".
He did
Im triggered that there are no captions.
It’s not racist. I’ve lived in Japan and they’d have a good laugh with this. Actually they might not see what’s funny since that’s pretty much how a local office works.
vdbdg yeah I actually thought besides maybe the overdone giggling that it was spot on.
no one said it's racist bruh

Bill Hader looks so much like Dwight!

Bill Hader was almost Dwight
Wait that wasn't dwight?
Rainn Wilson was Dwight
Tehreem Siddique like a hotter version
*Top 10 Slice of Life Animes*

The fact we can understand it without even speaking Japanese is incredible
The awkwardness of how they just jump straight into the Regis commercial and then right back out again with no real transition is actually kind of perfect
