I used to work at a Japanese restaurant in my college days and when I told my coworker I had a really bad hangover, he would make me a prairie oyster. I'll never forget that guy. He told me he learned that from an anime he saw years ago when he was in Japan, which turns out to be Cowboy Bebop lol.

So there's an anime literally called Bartender where destitute and down-on-their-luck people go to a bar where a prodigy bartender serves them one life-changing drink. It's got 11 or 12 episodes, so it's pretty short. Each episode features one specific drink.
@@rickdeckard7098 There was a parody of this where in the same scenario, the bar tender serves the down and destitute guest of the week the exact same hot cup of instant coffee, day or night, whatever. Then its some two minutes of twilight zone bullshit they bring themselves--until finally at the end he's accosted by an englishman from the 1970s demanding to know whether his drink was as good as the other concoction being featured in that episode. Most of the protagonists never got the other beverage at all, either being ignored or refused, or stranded at the bottom of a cave. This of course leads to the series iconic framing shot, where the protagonist looks woefully over his nasty cup of instant coffee, getting cold in an old fashioned styrofoam break room coffee cup, and held aloft and away, so as to let the viewer appreciate it's horrific banality. I'd love to see some more fan art of that. In one episode, the hero held his cup of joe like a torch that could only point him towards places darker than from which he came and to those places he marched. That was the finale, Instant Coffee is Forever, or something like that. In every other episode, the protagonist is confronted by mealy englishman who demands to know a preference. This is the nadir of destitution. Exhausted and confused, deprived and beaten, looking frantically for an iota of normality, would ultimately profess that indeed, the instant coffee was better than that other drink, or what everyone else was having. Voice over would say, "This has been Spacefarer's Choice Instant Coffee Theater!" and the credits would run. Great show. Does anyone know what happened to it?
I just realised what the charm of this channel is. It feels like chatting with the friendly bartender at a quiet bar, where you relax and enjoy a cocktail, not a loud, busy nightclub or a fancy restaurant bar where you feel anxious about your order. It's just very comforting and pleasant. You always have some interesting backstories and history, but you're always saying something and moving the story forward, not just trying to talk to lengthen the video. It's nice. You're a great role model to young guys, too. It's also very nice to see personality from other people, they're not butting in too much, but it feels like there's actual people there with the occasional exchanges. You deserve millions of subscribers, but I'm also happy you're able to communicate with your viewers so much!
I mean realistically if we don't improve the environment and clean up our pollution then the Earth is gonna be a pretty shitty place to live let alone produce goods from by 2071
Which is interesting, because bourbon, like scotch or cognac, is a protected product: you can't call it bourbon unless it's made a specific way, and comes from a specific region.
@@netherdominater9960 Earth was messed up in Cowboy Bebop because the first space gate exploded, blew up part of the moon, and caused giant space rocks and radioactive material to rain down on the planet. Hence why most people moved into space. But Earth is still populated and still has industry, even though entire swathes of cities are abandoned (Jet and Spike end up going through an abandoned, flooded section of a city to find a VCR they can play Faye's tape on, because they can't find a functional one for sale anywhere due to being ancient technology, only to discover that VHS and Beta are two different formats once they do retrieve a working VCR.).
@@Swindle1984 I bet if Earth got all fucked and we wound up in the stars though, somebody would capitalize on Old Earth nostalgia and call their whiskey "bourbon" anyway. You're in space: who's really gonna call you on it in a way that can result in punishment?
There has been a gradual transition from "Sometimes Greg sings a little bit when referencing relevant culture", to "What's the point of making a video if it doesn't start with Greg embarrassing himself for the viewers?" What a dork
There’s a direct correlation between when he starts recording and when he’s near done recording that week in regards to his singing and overall goofiness.
Was there ever anything like Cowboy Bebop? Like of course there are many thing that shares one of it elements, but was there ever another animated western sci-fi noir?
@@Arian545 no, not really that's why the tagline "becoming its own genre in of itself, cowboy bebop" not only still holds up but is something people even take as fact, despite the director saying that's not the intention
A unique fact about the soundtrack- the writers gave Yoko Kanno the outline script early in production, she dedicated a style of music (western waltz, blues, etc) to the episode as if it were another character. Then during animation, they paced it to Kanno’s music, rather than adjusting or composing the music to fit the animation.
"Call Me." I have never cried so hard during an anime as I did watching Ed and Faye do their thing while Jet and Spike eat their feelings through three or so dozen hard boiled eggs. Heart wrenching. Absolutely beautiful song. It still makes me choke up. My eyes are tearing just thinking about it.
"Call me" and "Rain" are both on my top 10 list of songs. Have been for 20 years. Sh... I'm getting older. Scott Matthews is still putting out songs tho. At least he were.. some 10 years ago
As someone that just recently rewatched the series for the first time in almost 14 years, can I almost guarantee that you will actually enjoy the show more NOW as an adult than when you were a kid. I don't think I fully grasped the themes and soul of the show when I was a teenager as I do now. I highly recommend anyone to revisit Cowboy Bebop if they grew up watching it. It truly is a well made series.
I just did, (although it had only been about 6 years for me) after watching one episode of the dumpster fire that was the Netflix live action "re-imagining". Crimminy christmas, the soundtrack is so good, the characters are brilliant, the humour is so on point, the art style has not lost any of the "wow" factor... Aye ya, such a good show. Also named my newest cat Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky the 4th. The vet gave me a very strange look when I told her that I wanted the entire thing on the license.
You also grasp more movie/music references I think. But overall, yeah - you lived longer so you have more weight to carry so the series hits you harder.
I have a bit of trivia to add to Fay's drink; vodka and hot water. I live in Japan and I found adding hot water to distilled alcohol to be super normal here but not with vodka. In Japan she wouldn't normally be drinking vodka and hot water with a cold but imo-shochu which is a shochu (distilled alcohol) made from sweet potatoes. Super normal in winter, or when you are sick to drink shochu and ooyu (hot water). Ratio tends to be one to one but, in many small restaurants or bars you often just get a glass with socho and a tea pot with hot water to mix in as much as you want. It has a unique flavor but I don't like it myself. It tends to be an old man's drink. I think the writers wanted to have her drink shochu ooyuwari but Faye is not Japanese so they switched it for vodka. Love your videos! Kanpai!
In a lot of cultures getting drunk isn't the point of most drinks. It's the tonic effect of the warm drink, the curative properties of things like herbs it's often infused with and the relaxation from the alcohol. Sometimes even just the vapours rising off warmed spirits is therapeutic.
i've watch and rewatched it dozens of times over the years. my love of it has only grown. it's such a beautiful lament on loneliness and companionship with many many intricate layers to it.
I feel like, for Faye's drink, you could sub out the hot water with steamed sake, which on its own is amazing, and with vodka would be like instant fortified sake.
As someone who stays very close to anime critique, the GENERAL consensus is that objectively the best made anime of all time comes down to Bebop or FMA: Brotherhood. Personally, out of the two, my answer would probably flip everytime you asked me. Of course, with the influx of new great anime in recent years, given some time there could be a new challenger for that title, namely Mob Psycho 100.
Bebop holds up so well for many different reasons, but last time I watched it I was struck by how good the writing is. Demands a video essay deconstructing the clashing ideologies and religious symbolism.
The Night Is Young, Walk On Girl is a (phenomenal masaki yuasa) movie whose first act is about the joy of drink and contains an extremely evocative scene where the main character has 5 unnamed drinks. Please, solve the mystery of what these mysterious drinks are
I am proud to say that I drummed the beat out exactly in time with your opening - I clicked and started to pat it out on my desk and it was perfectly timed. Edit: I forgot to mention - along with .hack//sign, Cowboy Bebop is one of my top favourite anime and I am SO HAPPY you love it too. I got to watch both on Adult Swim when they first aired.
5:14 For 20 years I thought Jet was saying "whiskey with light green." I didn't and don't know what that would mean, possibly something related to absinthe or bitters.
As a teen, I was the only kid in my school watching the show. I remember using the primitive clunky internet from the early 2000s to look for the recipes of the cocktails and food from the series (the beef with pepper eluded me for decades). This video made me remember how I actually prepared both the praire oyster and the cowboy, stealing the booze from my parents cabinet. And now I feel so happy, because thanks to the internet and youtube I can find so many people that loved the show as much as I did. It's great to know that you're there, and that over 20 years afterwards we're still drinking praire oyster and cowboys because deep in our heart we just want to be as cool as Jet and Spike. Love to you all, my fellow space cowboys
Bit late to the party here (and someone with greater knowledge of both anime and Japanese drinking culture may already have noted this), but it's possible that the "hot water and vodka" drink is an attempt at translating for Western audiences a shochu with hot water, which I've also seen served with muddled ume. Whether or not that was what they were going for it's certainly worth a shot if you haven't tried it!
Ok...having WATCHED the episode--good job finding Bebopish music! The toddy looks...well, like a toddy. The drinks don't look...that...great, but that's not really you're fault. What I want to see--make me a Spike Spegal. Make me a Jet Black. Make me a Faye Valentine. The character names are GREAT for drinks. Also, DUNE.
@@MrHodoAstartes I'm pretty sure it's past/present. Otherwise he'd have a hard time, you know, doing stuff. I could just go watch the scene where he talks about it on RUclips, but where's the fun in that
When he started singing the opening theme I saw myself in a mirror. 20 years have passed and I’m still singing the opening theme like that all the way to the end every time I re-watch the anime. Fun video, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
There's a little known anime series called "Bartender" that revolves entirely around the making of different alcoholic drinks and cocktails to solve any person's problems. Might be worth a look.
I've heard that the HInamatsuri comedy anime references it in it's bar scenes. (plot twist a junior high school girl is blackmailed into bartending at a Kabikicho bar and turns out to be a genius mixologist and builds a clientele fanbase...)
Late to this video but it's one of my favorites for a specific reason. 3:25 when he has that perfect pause before the "I see" I never fail to laugh along with the people in the back. Much love for this channel dude. Thank you for all that you do
Cowboy Bebop has long been my favorite anime, and this is my favorite bartending/cocktail making show on youtube, so you can imagine how happy seeing this on my feed makes me. You rock Greg, keep up the good work and thank you! Btw, 10/10 on the intro :D
If you want an anime with lots of drinks, "Love is a Cocktail" is a bunch of short episodes each of which focus on a single drink. I believe they're all real drinks as well.
I rewatch Cowboy Bebop every couple years, it definitely holds up and keeps giving back after repeat viewings. Great Episode, I'll have to try...some of drinks.
Oh yeah you’ve opened the Pandora’s box that is anime. There ain’t no closing now. Now I gotta do some research to find anime that have cocktails in them.
I swear, I keep coming back to this episode solely for that cold opening. I can't keep a straight face at Greg's expression! And yes Greg, you totally nailed it! I might just have to watch Cowboy Bebop at this rate.
"I don't know why it's called a cowboy" ingredients are cow milk and bourbon... cow milk... bourbon... cowboys were usually pretty simple... I mean it's pretty obvious where the name comes from
If all you got on a cattle drive is bourbon, beans, bacon, and water, stealing a bit of milk for your bourbon would be more of a morale boost than just watering it down
You sir, are you my Spirit Animal! Everything you have said and done on this episode to Cowboy Bebop ( along with the intro ) was great and I tip my hat to you sir, catch you later Space Cowboy.
I started screaming when I was hit with that intro. Cowboy Bebop has always been a fave and I appreciate you making these drink! Love your videos as always! 💕💕💕

Bebop as an adult, in my opinion, ages like fine wine. It’s better now than when I watched it as a teen.
Ive wachted tree times one my whole life, and yeah, its better than wine.
Quite honestly yes! I remember watching it as a kid with my cousin and now that I’m 22 rewatching it was such a treat.

Spike: treats a hangover with alcohol
Hair of the dog
Thats what we do in ph, if u have hang overs from hard liqs, we will drink beer(s) to cure it
That's a common thing in here in Sweden, we call it "Återställare". Roughly translated to "Pick-Me-Up"-drink in english.
That's how I do it.
In German the beer you drink the morning after is called the Konterbier. The counter-beer.

I've never heard of adding hot water to a drink. Weird. You'd think it'd ruin it by diluting the alcohol.

I am proud to say that I drummed the beat out exactly in time with your opening - I clicked and started to pat it out on my desk and it was perfectly timed.
Edit: I forgot to mention - along with .hack//sign, Cowboy Bebop is one of my top favourite anime and I am SO HAPPY you love it too. I got to watch both on Adult Swim when they first aired.
Add in Akira, and Trigun, and you have my intro to anime trifecta. And they all hold up pretty well now at the start of 2020. Cheers!
I absolutely love .hack//sign for the soundtrack. I remember finding the show midway though an episode and the Aura theme was playing.
@Khaeldranis Tsukasa makes a lot of sense when you know the full story behind their background
5:14 For 20 years I thought Jet was saying "whiskey with light green." I didn't and don't know what that would mean, possibly something related to absinthe or bitters.
Same.
Haha that's exactly what I thought, I assumed it was made with something like whiskey and midori!
Me: "Greg how many drinks did you have for the intro?"
Greg: "Yes."
As a teen, I was the only kid in my school watching the show. I remember using the primitive clunky internet from the early 2000s to look for the recipes of the cocktails and food from the series (the beef with pepper eluded me for decades). This video made me remember how I actually prepared both the praire oyster and the cowboy, stealing the booze from my parents cabinet. And now I feel so happy, because thanks to the internet and youtube I can find so many people that loved the show as much as I did. It's great to know that you're there, and that over 20 years afterwards we're still drinking praire oyster and cowboys because deep in our heart we just want to be as cool as Jet and Spike. Love to you all, my fellow space cowboys
praise
Please watch Cowboy Bebop again, you won’t regret it. Watching it again is so enjoyable because you only really understand the show as you get older.
I don't drink but this is aesthetically pleasing enough to follow
Greg hitting all this pop culture stuff is giving me LIFE
Bit late to the party here (and someone with greater knowledge of both anime and Japanese drinking culture may already have noted this), but it's possible that the "hot water and vodka" drink is an attempt at translating for Western audiences a shochu with hot water, which I've also seen served with muddled ume. Whether or not that was what they were going for it's certainly worth a shot if you haven't tried it!
Incredible!
fancy seeing you here Garrett.
Shane Dawson freaind
I didn’t expect to see you here but hello lmao
Next trip into a trendy bar I am ordering a Prairie Oyster and Gin, See the reaction I get lol!
It's got a lot of depth man, it's definitely worth a re-watch. See also: Samurai Champloo!
Should also check out Watanabe's new show on Netflix, Carole and Tuesday.
It'll hit ya in the feels too
Yesss samurai shampoo
@Anime Supercuts yep, only reason you can tell is because they use woolongs
And trigun
That description of cowboy bebop was so accurate that you just gained a new subscriber
“Why’s it called a cowboy”
... cause it’s a mix of cow juice and cowboy liquor
Ok...having WATCHED the episode--good job finding Bebopish music! The toddy looks...well, like a toddy. The drinks don't look...that...great, but that's not really you're fault. What I want to see--make me a Spike Spegal. Make me a Jet Black. Make me a Faye Valentine. The character names are GREAT for drinks.
Also, DUNE.
I agree. I'd love to see his take on what he feels their drinks would be based off of their personality, they're looks, and design.
The Jet Black: 4oz fresh brewed coffee (hot) 1.5oz sexton irish whisky 1oz cinnamon liqueur
Gonna have to try this.
What even would a Spike do?
Blow you away so hard you see the future in one eye, the past in the other?
@@MrHodoAstartes I keep thinking a whiskey highball but...like mostly booze with a little fizz...
@@MrHodoAstartes I'm pretty sure it's past/present. Otherwise he'd have a hard time, you know, doing stuff.
I could just go watch the scene where he talks about it on RUclips, but where's the fun in that
I respect how lame you allowed yourself to be while performing the theme song.
I'm not even old enough to drink, but Greg is just such a wholesome and entertaining lad that I still binge HTD. Thank you, Greg and Co.!
Cowboy Bebop still holds up pretty well IMO.
Also, BEST INTRO EVER.
When he started singing the opening theme I saw myself in a mirror. 20 years have passed and I’m still singing the opening theme like that all the way to the end every time I re-watch the anime. Fun video, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
If ANY anime ages well, it's Cowboy Bebop.
It's still the best anime ever made.
I'm 6ish episodes into a rewatch right now.
There's a little known anime series called "Bartender" that revolves entirely around the making of different alcoholic drinks and cocktails to solve any person's problems. Might be worth a look.
holy shit. I watched that as a kid.
sirrliv I’ll definitely check it out, thanks!
I've heard that the HInamatsuri comedy anime references it in it's bar scenes. (plot twist a junior high school girl is blackmailed into bartending at a Kabikicho bar and turns out to be a genius mixologist and builds a clientele fanbase...)
The camera work when adding ingredients into the glasses are firee
Late to this video but it's one of my favorites for a specific reason. 3:25 when he has that perfect pause before the "I see" I never fail to laugh along with the people in the back. Much love for this channel dude. Thank you for all that you do
Me: *24 seconds into the video*
Me: “I’m guessing this was filmed later in the day”
Just a couple drinks bud
Cowboy Bebop has long been my favorite anime, and this is my favorite bartending/cocktail making show on youtube, so you can imagine how happy seeing this on my feed makes me. You rock Greg, keep up the good work and thank you! Btw, 10/10 on the intro :D
If you want an anime with lots of drinks, "Love is a Cocktail" is a bunch of short episodes each of which focus on a single drink. I believe they're all real drinks as well.
I rewatch Cowboy Bebop every couple years, it definitely holds up and keeps giving back after repeat viewings. Great Episode, I'll have to try...some of drinks.
"The night is short, walk on girl" is an anime movie that's pretty much about cocktails so it's got my vote.
This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing vidoes on RUclips.
Takes lady to apartment...
"Here have a glass of water."
In my opinion, he didn't give vodka at the time but Spirytus Rektyfikowany. Dilute it with water so you can drink it.
That intro alone deserves a thumbs up. What an episode.
he should have said at the end "see ya, space cowboy"
Oh yeah you’ve opened the Pandora’s box that is anime. There ain’t no closing now.
Now I gotta do some research to find anime that have cocktails in them.
There are some in Hinamatsuri, but I dont think there were any originals in there.
Grand Blue
The "Oolong Tea" 9 parts Vodka, 1 parts Whiskey 🤣
American: "Shoulder thongs" imagines someone laying on a beach barely wearing clothes.
Australian: "Shoulder thongs" imagines someone using "flip flops" to protect themselves from surprise attacks.
Alexander Brown and I did.
I swear, I keep coming back to this episode solely for that cold opening. I can't keep a straight face at Greg's expression! And yes Greg, you totally nailed it! I might just have to watch Cowboy Bebop at this rate.
"I don't know why it's called a cowboy"
ingredients are cow milk and bourbon... cow milk... bourbon... cowboys were usually pretty simple... I mean it's pretty obvious where the name comes from
I was looking for that comment as soon as I heard it!
So you might be just the person to ask. You add Butterscotch Schnapps to this and it's a Cocksucking Cowboy. Explain.
Ram Ranch cowboys
If all you got on a cattle drive is bourbon, beans, bacon, and water, stealing a bit of milk for your bourbon would be more of a morale boost than just watering it down
@@Chaznar27 It's the Aussie name for a Buttery Nipple (I think our name makes more sense), so idk, probably something to do with Aussie culture
I would ask for the drinks from Black Lagoon but i do not think you could survive that much alcohol sir.
I'm pretty sure they all just drink straight spirits. I don't remember seeing a single cocktail
@@LynxxXVI I feel like Revy would shoot someone just for doing that to a straight bottle of perfectly fine engine de-greaser.
"Overproof rum, applied directly to the face hole. Gunshots not included."
@@LynxxXVI agreed, but i like how he went with a drink to represent each character.
Appreciate the editors efforts on finding decent, royalty free music that harkens to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. No easy task.
You sir, are you my Spirit Animal! Everything you have said and done on this episode to Cowboy Bebop ( along with the intro ) was great and I tip my hat to you sir, catch you later Space Cowboy.
I always thought the “shoulder thong” was one of those old noir detective holsters. Just my take.
Now i'm imagining Humphrey Bogart wearing a Borat style banana hammock over his shoulders- yeowza
@@howtodrink Bogie: "VERY NIIIICE"
I think you’re right, TK. I’d have to rewatch the series to be sure.
@@howtodrink I require industrial sanitizer for my brain.
No you’re right they are old school noir detective holsters
Having rewatched the series about a month ago, it definitely holds up.
I started screaming when I was hit with that intro. Cowboy Bebop has always been a fave and I appreciate you making these drink! Love your videos as always! 💕💕💕
Drinks from “Space Dandy” next! It’s pretty much a more flamboyant version of “Cowboy Bebop”!
OH HELL YES!!!
It actually takes place in the same time & universe as Bebop.
Emo Kills Best WUUUUUT?!?
@@lucasblanchard47 Yupper. Basically Spike is on one side of the universe and Dandy is on the other. They both use the same currency too, Wulong.
Emo Kills Best I had no idea. It’s been a while since I’ve seen both shows. Gonna have to rewatch them!
"You're singing off key... "
Gets pillow smashed on his face 😄
Let’s go for the space outlaw trifecta with Bebop, Trigun, and Outlaw Star.
"This next drink is called The Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobella Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andre Charton-Haymoss Ivanovicci Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser the Third."
Also space dandy
@@cristianvaldez-ramirez3618 came too late and doesnt totally fit the darker theme of the other 3
and Big O for good measure.
captain planet was the greatest space outlaw of all time. pretending to be a saviour of the earth so he could stay here. little did we know he was being hunted by Atomsk just like Haruko Haruhara
You're gonna carry that weight.
Still hits me after all this years
Every single frame in Cowboy Bebop is a piece of art you can hang on your wall and ponder while your drink.
That has got to be the best opening. Okay, 3,2,1, Let's Jam!
Thanks for the ❤️ and the great drinks, space cowboy
Roy Roger's in his old age wasnt allowed to have booze at dinner with his wife, but he was allowed milk, hence....the cowboy. True story.
Spike Spiegel: Prairie Oyster (with "Boofeater Gin.)
Jet Black: Cowboy. (How about some "El Presidente"?)
Faye Valentine: Vodka & Hot Water
Substitute: Vodka Toddy.
"Drink" from Evangelion, Misato's Masterpiece. Instant Curry with Ramen, pair with Yebisu.
Add an ounce of depression, cut with some Tang, and a throw in a shot of existential crisis, then serve chilled at the end of all humanity.
You haven’t cut yourself watching that?
some Shinji's tears would give a nice salty taste
@@Dyundu Shaken until the A.T. Field is broken, then serve.
@@Dyundu maby a drop of hand yoghurt if you're kinky
That intro.
Perfect, "obnoxious" in just the right way.
Faye's Vodka Toddy actually sounds like a very pleasant drink
Okay. That's how every show needs to open henceforth
Yes! You made my day! I'm going to Marathon the series asap! ... But yes we want more drinks from Cowboy Bebop!
Don't tease us Greg.
5:50 they have Dack Janiel's and eat WcMonalds alongside it, while using their Sopy jogwoman to listen to music
It happened 22 years ago. This makes me really sad for some reason.
I love how this is filmed!!
And all the comentary is really great!!
My favorite part of this episode is his “I see.” When the egg yolk breaks.
Klicked for cowboy Bebop, stayed for the intro xD
The most beautiful intro I've ever heard, truly a musical masterpiece.
im dissapointed ein didnt get a drink he needs one, he works harder than anyone in the series lmao
The anime ”Death Parade“ kind of takes place in a bar and features several different drinks! Might be worth a look :)
Theres an anime called "love is like a cocktail" which gives recipes and as i was watching it i became very curious about how they taste, would you consider doing a video on some of them?
This thumbnail is a thing of beauty
Greg, man, you’re killing me with nostalgia and I couldn’t be more entertained. Thank you.
