Comprehensive collection of American baseball player names as imagined/made up by Japanese developers of Fighting Baseball in 1995 due to their lack of licensing rights. Never gets old.

The gift that keeps on giving 😂

I about died when I saw the Simpsons reference this in their Death Note parody. Deep cut!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

TIL The Simpsons did a Death Note parody. Just watched the whole thing -- it's exactly as good as it sounds like it is

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Having the same studio that animated the original Death Note do the parody really elevated it! Also be sure to watch the Westworld parody they did in the same episode.

Something about the simple elegance of "Todd Bonzalez" gets me every time.

Americans: hmmm it does kinda remind me when my tractor got stuck in the mud.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Jokes on you, I don't own a tractor! (It did remimd me of that time my pickup truck got stuck in the mud though)

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't own a tractor

So you rent or lease one?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I just borrow my Dad's, tyvm.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

As a true American you lease one at absurdly high interest rates. You can also buy a cheap used tractor by overdrafting several credit cards.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

And pay subscription fees for the software. And you are not allowed to repair the machinery.

The one thing that unites all Americans is dunking on American stereotypes.

Howdy fellas, my name is Kenichi Smith.

I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty)

I train with my revolver every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak English fluently, both the American and the British accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100%

When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Nickelodeon or a game designer!

I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in America!

apparently western-wear is a thing in Japan. and honestly, they rock it better than we do!

The Simpsons eating at a restaurant called America Town in Tokyo:

Waiter: Howdy, gangstas. I am average American Joe salary-man waiter. Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I am product of American education system! I also build poor-quality cars and inferior-style electronics.

Homer: Hahahaha he’s really got our number!

HOT DOG, used as an exclamation is the funniest burn

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Animal crossing exclamation

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I know! It should be "hot diggity dog".

Sure, Japanese writers smash a bunch of English-sounding syllables together and it's funny but when I make up Chinese names by throwing pots and pans down the stairs suddenly I'm the racist.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Well, it's the fact that you did that then reported it on the news is what people took exception to.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have any non-dairy creamer?

I'll use my credit card!

If'n that boy wants to play a lil Possum in the Graveyard, I ain't see no harm, am I right fellas? 🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Possum in the Graveyard… is that one where we stuck a possum in Ricky’s dishwasher & fed it nothing but circus peanuts til Ricky got back from jail?

That damn thing cut him up so bad 🤣 I’m a little sorry he lost an eye, but that was funny as hell.
