She doesn't seem to understand the skit...It was blatantly obvious they were making fun of Americans...Not Japanese...Really makes me wonder if they still don't understand American humor...?
It’s a real joy to see you get the joke and understand the intention. This is literally my favorite reaction video ever, because it is a unique point of view to us Americans, and it shows that cultural humor can translate and not be condemned as racist without understanding or context. And your laughter is delightful. We can celebrate our difference and tease about them in good faith. If this were real people they would be bullied and berated online, accomplishing nothing but more hate. The main joke is they love the culture but are trying too hard to appear they understand it all - but without mean intentions. Respect, and peace.
I lived in Japan for a year and loved these sketches. The target isn't Japanese culture, but the white westerners who are basically otaku and believe this tiny subset of Japanese culture is the entire country.
💯 agreed. People who just visit Japan for the Anime isn't seeing the bigger picture. There is fine art, music, literature, great history museums, temples, shrines, food of course, and many more things to appreciate. If I ever go to Japan this year, I won't be the type that goes to Akihabara everyday. If anything, I will visit a different district everday, then on the last day, maybe a multi compute I'd possible.
I'm glad they see the over the top humor and not a negative stereotype. If anything it makes fun of white people desperately trying to adopt any culture but their own.
I can sense this feeling among those anime fans with alt/punk/gamer outfits. They were so into Japanese stuff, but it's always the case that they don't really know what are the authentic Japanese things. Sometimes I would even be mistaken as a Japanese on British streets, though I'm from China. BTW, the anime conventions in Newcastle upon Tyne (where I used to be in) was really a whole bunch of people like this, and that's why I've never been to any comicon in the UK.
There are many Americans who are big fans of anime and they think they know all about Japanese culture. It's similar to the dancers in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park who dance to old American rock n roll songs. (By the way, yes, that was Fred Armisen from Portlandia in the role of the Japanese girlfriend. 😆 He is great.)
No reason to be offended...The skit wasn't meant to be racist to anyone other than whites...The skit was meant to point out how ridiculous Americans look, while pretending to be Japanese...
I didn't find it 'cringe'...because for me they seem super Genki and just obsessed with Japanese pop culture so it's just fun to watch! However, it’s not my cup of tea.
@@SayuriSaying-- The joke is that they are obsessed and they have a very narrow and distorted understanding of the culture they are attempting to pay homage to. For a "backwards version" -- imagine a Japanese Person who is obsessed with Western Culture to the point that they hate their own culture. Imagine an MTV style show where a Japanese Person verbally trashes Visual Kei bands and says he prefers Linkin Park instead of Dir en grey.... that would be a "Reverse Weaboo." American Weeaboos hate their own culture and they want to be Japanese. A "Reverse Weaboo" would be a Japanese Person who hates their own culture and wants to be American. It goes both ways!
Hi Sayuri loved your reaction to this SNL skit. To all japanies people that may read the comments here, I love japaniese culture, architecture, food, history, etiquette, and attention to detail. Japaniese people are wonderful! Please do not take this skit too seriously. SNL comedy skit / show is not targeting the japaniese culture and or language. Its highlighting the need of americans youth trying to emulate the anime pop culture,
I always wondered what a japanese person thought of this skit. I used to work for a japanese owned company but was too embarassed to play it for them worried that it would insult them.
You do know these were SNL cast members portraying ridiculous American college students fetishizing J-Pop culture? The sketch writers were well aware the language they use is incorrect. That's part of the humor. The irony is that the joke is on pathetic college students who fetishize other cultures, and not on Japanese culture. The professor character points out how inept the students are in other of these sketches.
Weeaboos (people who watch a little bit of anime and think that represents the totality of Japanese culture and that they're somehow a part of it) think that you can make something sound Japanese by putting the "duru" at the end because they don't hear the language right and are picking up the する verb ending as "duru." I think it's like how people stumbling through (or mocking) Spanish will put a -o at the end of everything.
And to your point, Fred Armisen who plays the Japanese girls friend in the sketches has a sketch where he plays a Mexican variety show host and ends a lot of things in o.
When they say a word in English and then add “aruu” to the end of it, they’re doing it as a mockingly way of speaking Japanese. Much in the same way when Americans are mockingly speaking Spanish, they’ll add “o” at the end like “trash can-o”
One thing to keep in mind is that they are just adding "duru" to the end of random words to try and sound more Japanese. It would have made more sense/been more realistic if they'd added "desu" instead.
I really liked your reaction. And I was surprised to see you say that they imitated Japanese talk shows and mannerisms well. It seemed like an exaggeration to me.
I know some people think it is racist, but the point is that they are making fun of a very specific type of American or Westerner who is obsessed with "Japanese Culture" without really knowing much about it other than a few mainstream examples of J Pop and Anime and so if anything it is trying to point out the underlying racism of thinking that a few things in media encompass "Japanese Culture". My brother got to live in Japan for a year as an exhange student and he got to see a lot of real life as one of his host famiiies was an older couple with no children living outside the city. The man was a handy man who would take him to his jobs to show him around and let him meet real people. They would ride everywhere on bikes and and it was a bit more rural so he got to meet people of many ages and different family structures. His other family was in more of the city and had small kids so he got to experience another type of "family life" as well. He loved it there and while he enjoyed things like Anime, he didn't expect every person he met to also be obsessed with Anime. He passed away suddenly at age 29 but until then he kept in touch and would send gifts back and forth with friends he made in Japan and I think if he hadn't passed away he would have gone back again or tried to move there permanently (He was finishing his degree and then working in IT and then had some sudden health problems). He had great memories there of lots of kindness and fun.
The "uru" at the end of everything is I think an exaggeration of the fact that adding vowels like "u" or "o" at the end of words sounds strange to English speakers, so they make it sound even more strange by adding an "uru"
Shows a difference in our cultures...Japanese somehow think Americans are making fun of them, when every American (and South American), knows they were making fun of Americans who over do it on other cultures...
I was hoping that this "skit" would have more of a focus on stuff like "Visual Kei Bands" (look for a video on RUclips called "IMF JRock Feed" ... The SNL skit seems to be more focused on the "Pop" side... If it were approached more "seriously" then it wouldn't be a "comedy" would it? Anyway, my favorite band is Dir en grey... it isn't "Pop" though, the lyrics are actually pretty dark and depressing.... lol.
Am I the only one embarrassed on behalf of my entire country because this is how Americans think Japanese people act & talk? The host was an unbelievably awesome sport with a great sense of humor-aru. Lol. 😂🤣

Maybe in Japan there is a such type as "Reverse Weeaboo?"

'satire making fun of Weeaboos' Good point! From an ordinary Japanese point of view, I don't know what is the criteria for being a Weeaboo. Is 'アニメ・ゲーム好きな外国人' the most applicable term? but there is no bad meaning implied.
@@SayuriSaying For context of the video I've shared: Several Japanese RUclipsrs have been doing reaction videos on that specific video. I'm sorry if its weird. Did not mean to offend in anyway. He was a popular RUclipsr who had a distinct humor that appealed to internet users of the Era.
@@SayuriSaying-- A "weeaboo" is someone who thinks that Japanese Culture is only focused on Anime and Soft Pop Music. A "weeaboo" is someone who goes to any Asian Restaurant and starts babbling nonsense in broken Japanese, even if the restaurant they are at isn't even Japanese in the first place, lol.... Personally, I don't care about Anime. I don't have the patience for it. But I love Visual Kei Music! Instead of watching anime for 100 episodes to understand the plot, I would rather listen to bands like Luna Sea, L'arc en ciel, Buck-Tick, Dir en grey, Mucc, The Gazette, Camui Gackt, Malice Mizer and any others that I find... Anime requires too much concentration, lol... Music only requires my ears.
The only reason SNL gets away with it is because they have done it so long that it’s not considered racist. But to your point, the humor has really gone downhill since late 2000s
@@SayuriSaying It's very common for people to think SNL was better back when they first started watching it, typically in high school, and that it's gotten worse since then. The reality is that it's always kind of been hit or miss, but we only remember the good sketches, and people let nostalgia color their viewpoint. That said, people my age tend to think the 90s era with Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, et al., was the best era.
@@SayuriSaying There we’re only two really good periods. Obviously the first five years were very good and still hold the standard. I would say the other is around the turn of this century when you had Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Ana Gasteyer. But since about 2005 you can really tell a slow steady decline that accelerated after Trump was elected. Then they show their bias

That's the whole point of the skit! Blatantly obvious who they were making fun of to everyone not Japanese...(Apparently?)
Well done! Thank you for the reaction video. Very entertaining!
新しい動画をありがとうございます。
ついに、そのSNLの動画に本物日本人のリアクションですね。
そのSNLの動画は古いんだけど
今でも、海外で日本のサブカルチャーが好き人々のイメージは同じだそうです。
その変なオタクという既成概念はほとんどじゃないんですが
フィリピンのアニメ祭りというイベントでもその姿や行動も詳しいです。
僕の場合は、フィリピンである若者たちは始めて日本のアニメを見た後、
自分の妄想によって驚くに
「うわあ、日本のアニメをよく見ているので日本語にペラペラになって、
それで日本人になりたい！」と言われたんです。
間違いない、日本の文化について日本製アニメの報告紹介は未完成ですが
アニメの方法で日本の魅力が人気になっていますね。
アニメの国際超ファンは、何回目で見るんですがSNLのパロディーは面白くて笑ってしまったんです。
コメントありがとうございます！そうだったんですね😊私自身がアニメをあまり見ない、イベントに行かないというのがあって、そういう方と接点がありませんでした！いろいろな視点があって面白いですね。そしてSNLの動画は全て完成度が高いので全く知識がなくても笑えました笑。

this was a great thanks for your thoughts glad it got your seal of approval, now i can laugh
Hopefully Sayuri would enjoy the SNL skit, “Japanese Game Show”, featuring Chris Farley. It’s how Americans viewed Japanese game shows in the 90s.
Classic SNL there. I agree she should watch that.
I think both the characters in the SNL video and Sayuri’s reaction are equally cute. Greetings from Texas.
I loved your comments about the show. I thought it was a wonderful parody. ❤
Yup, he was a guy from Portlandia show, Fred Armisen.
There are many Americans who are big fans of anime and they think they know all about Japanese culture. It's similar to the dancers in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park who dance to old American rock n roll songs.
(By the way, yes, that was Fred Armisen from Portlandia in the role of the Japanese girlfriend. 😆 He is great.)

I'm happy that she was not offended, good attitude 😅
No reason to be offended...The skit wasn't meant to be racist to anyone other than whites...The skit was meant to point out how ridiculous Americans look, while pretending to be Japanese...
It amazes me that I can be so annoyed and also laugh and be amused at the same time !
これはアメリカ人が日本について考えていることではなくて、日本について何も知らないアメリカのオタクを馬鹿にしているだけだと思います。
there is a great chris farley sketch on youtube from snl about a fake japanese gameshow, it's also pretty funny.
Have you seen the Japanese version of “The Office”? It’s a SCREAM!
As much as I love your videos. I’m not cringe-resistant enough for this one 😂
I have the same feeling..

Why are you writing with funny little pictures ?

Another SNL video, but this time, a sketch that revolved around a "Japanese" version of The McLaughlin Group. The Arakawa Group.
Yeah, he's the guy from Portlandia 😅
Why would anyone think that the intention of this sketch is to target the japenese culture. SNL makes fun of everything, especially american culture.
This was Wonderful. WE Love your Expert Opinion and Sense of Humor.😂❤
