Cube Cars are BIG in Japan (GeoGuessr)

[@ScubaSteve0423]

Crip Crop saw some French so he picked the well known French Canadian enclave of Albany, NY - Famous for their Steamed Hams!

[@LiamFuzzyBear]

There's a law in Japan where if you buy a car they come and measure your parking space to make sure it'll fit, along with you having to have a parking space to put it (excluding the countryside where there's an abundance of places to park), the laws are also more lax with cube cars. But of course Captain Japan wouldn't know this as he only rents Schoolbuses.

[@handsomecaveman]

13:35 pretty sure you had the Lincoln Memorial last time, boiks. I'm with Ross. "That's not staying in there."

[@FeDeRaTTay]

Trott fully smoothbrained today

[@positronalpha]

Incredible form. Perfectly polished. The Argentina play, beautiful.

[@daruddock]

He brought his iron today.

The reason Kei cars (= "lightweight" or "mini" (or "cube cars")) are popular in Japan is because: * They are firstly designed to be functional and affordable, since these were necessary components in the post-war economic challenges Japan had, in order to promote affordable mobility. * A part of the functional design has to do with their incredibly manoeuvrability, which is a great benefit for city people since parking spaces and roads can be very tightly designed. * The affordable part is not just their purchase price, but also excellent fuel efficiency, which allows them to quality for lower taxes, reduced registration fees, and lower insurance premiums. * Lastly, any one who wants to own a car in Japan must also need a parking certificate (shako shomeisho), basically a paper that proves you have a private place to park your car, this is literally controlled by the police when you get the certificate and car dealerships will require you to show them this certificate before they allow you to buy a car. However, with Kei cars, you are exempted from this requirement in most rural areas (and some cities as well), since they do not occupy as much space and so it's much easier to buy a Kei car than other types of cars. Yes, I find the Kei car stuff in Japan very fascinating and I really like the idea and promotability of them. People who buy oversized cars for no good reason should have a more difficult time than those who either don't use cars or own very small cars.

I wish we could have them road legal in the US.

[@ButzPunk]

I wish we had kei cars in Australia, sadly our government seems to want us to go the opposite direction with bigger and bigger cars, which they give tax incentives for people to buy :(

[@_Uhtcaru]

Feels like they're soft launching a hat trip to Japan The quest for Yajiro is coming

[@BigSadClownBoi]

What with all the others having gone, I'm surprised they haven't yet

[@LePondLaDuck]

Oh good. The lads that struggle with Kent and the Arc de Triumph are taking a crack at Japan

[@Thetruepianoman]

I hope they see famous reporter Crispu Trottoru

[@gvdc]

My Neighbour Trottoru

[@Welander_]

MmmmMMm Nothing!

[@SmythJunior]

Currently in Kyoto and can confirm that the cube cars are the most common car here, they’re everywhere

[@L_Fleury]

Trott dropped his guess deep into the united states when they were playing the Canada game

[@PolygonAlley]

He knew Trump was about to decide to invade yesterday

[@ElkiLG]

Man the contrast between the really nice japanese towns in the middle of nature and the flat and straight canadian suburbs gave me whiplash.

[@extravagantpanda7962]

Trott not looking at the compass on the Lincoln memorial round was already pretty smooth brained, but guessing the middle of Argentina, hundreds of miles from the coast when he can clearly see the ocean all around him takes the cake. Edit:I spoke too soon, guessing upstate New York on the Canada map because he saw some French...

[@ringosis]

You can use arrow keys to move around by the way. You don't need to use the double click thing, you can just hold up to move forward.

[@CarterArts]

"this looks like a newbuild area" thats basically everywhere in rural northern america lmao

[@CurlyStuffing]

I was slightly offended by the realistic and completely accurate views from Smith about Rio de Janeiro, but then got really annoyed by silly trotty guessing it was in Argentina! 😂

[@HelperBot5000_]

I love the part at @26:00 where Ross is like "I don't want to admit it publicly, but I'm stupid" as he mouses over and zooms past a big van that says "Vancouver" right on the side lol

[@Welander_]

Those cubes are called KEI-cars. Smaller cars designed for narrow city streets, they have a bunch of regulations arround them but they are pretty cool and practical little cars

[@jakekunz5168]

while americans don’t pronounce the u in jaguar as a long u…we DEFINITELY don’t say whatever ross said 😂

[@OrangeDog20]

Jar-gwar

[@DogMutilator]

As a northerner, I would be curious about what Smith's definition of the "horrible places up North" are; especially since I live in one of the horrible places.

[@Lewiiiiiiiis]

Picture the most heinous of parroted and ill-informed Tory Lite views - now double it.

[@JamieAubrey]

I live really up north as in Scotland but would you still say that's "up north" since it's technically a different country

[@McCluckles38]

I definitely think you can do this IRL. Craig and Thomas blindfold the Boiks and bundle them into the back of a transit van, drive them to a random place in the UK and they can only get picked back up again when they guess where they are!

[@extravagantpanda7962]

They should stuff Trott in a hessian sack and leave him in a random place. Gone Baggin' 2: GeoGuessr Edition

[@Mydigitalepitaph]

GeoWizzard did that a few years ago in the UK. Geogussr IRL

[@McCluckles38]

@Mydigitalepitaph Tom is what inspired this thought, I love that crazy Brummie

13:55 as a man well into his 30s who enjoys really intellectual, heavy thinking comedy, I had absolutely no right laughing at this as much as I did.

[@Danstraightedge]

Chris Broad would nail that Japan map

[@grubbitt]

Here we go again.

[@SwarleyPilgrim]

My tiny little province featured in a Hot Films video! Couldn't be happier.

[@GlarbSnorf]

Smith saying “it could be Vancouver” while Ross completely ignores a Vancity sign in the background. Cinema.

[@thelemon0001]

You gotta cut Ross some slack, he's got those dog eyes after all.

[@Mystic-Midnight]

That pig brain also doesnt help

[@bierrollerful]

Our boiks trying to find their lost uncle Lewis

[@Cyrathil]

The "everything looks better with kanji on it" is kind of funny given Japan has a lot of just random English for the same reason...

[@BigSadClownBoi]

Dogging on our pronunciation of "jaguar" with whatever the hell you'd call that pronunciation during the Japan round is certainly... a choice :p

[@yugimotobutjacked3231]

The giant arrows on the light/traffic poles are only in northern Japan I think. They show the edge of the road when it snows

[@allluri]

cube cars are tiny in japan

[@AsheCraftingCorner]

I would very much like a travel Vlog in Japan

[@JDBD13]

Honestly, I think that was the best go of the 'Dumb Test' that they've ever done.

[@Shadow_Of_Man]

Very funny hearing the car discourse. I have a kei car the same, and love it. They're both tiny and yet so spacious inside, and cheap to run. Plus parking spaces generally are massive here in comparison to the kei car, so its just easy. Honestly if I could bring one back to England I would.

[@Flippirino]

Only GeoGuesser joke I can think of is "Where in the world is the like button?" Followed short by an edit like "Oh, I found it"

[@SgtEggleston]

really some incredible guesses in this one

[@ChonkyMonkey1]

I do love a Geoguessr video

[@tikizak123]

Please do more of this !

[@sionowen8187]

Japanese cars are insane! A lot of those are Kei cars there legally only allowed 650cc engines! There are a few imported to the uk so maaaaby a new Trabant esk series haha

[@barnyweston5632]

Went to Brazil last year. Rio really isn't that scary if you are sensible. Maybe I was just lucky as I look poor, but we walked around quite a lot and never felt in danger !

[@ashton7981]

Donair is a specific Canadian style of doner with beef and a sweet garlic sauce. Not entirely sure why it's called that as it was invented by a Greek guy from Halifax, Nova Scotia (English speaking part of the country and also 'doner' in French is not 'donair')

[@paprika6282]

20:16 house like that for under 300k in the united states? hah! you boys are more clueless than i thought

[@datguy6101]

I would soooooooo greenlight a Japan trip

[@awesomeaartvark]

Hey, it's not like english is phonetically consistent anyways, haha, the pronunciation rules are dumb and all over the place, so me and my american accent are gonna keep saying jag-wire lol

[@ElkiLG]

French from France here, never seen it spelled donnair.

[@CaperCafe_]

I’m an NOT complaining about more GeoGussr!! I want to see Ross get stuck in a Japanese bed store this time 😂

[@heyojayo8642]

I love these cars. As a tall dude even if you sit in the back you are not forced to hunch over like Quasimodo bc the roof slants downwards towards the back like in 99.9% of cars sold in the west.

[@nicolan97]

Captain Japan really dropped the ball on this one

[@benjohnson4583]

Ross broke my heart at the end

[@datguy6101]

YES GEOGUESSR LETS LOOK FOR YAJIRO

[@LER0YBM]

As a Brazilian putting Chris the Redeemer in Argentina is like putting the Elizabeth Tower in Paris

[@Odyanii]

"What a beautiful place, shame the city's absolute festering filth" Is this the most British thing Smith's ever said? At least he knows where it is!

[@GrouchyGander]

It's such a simple joke, but Smith yelling "JESUS CHRIST" really tickled me.

[@LordVoltrex]

Hell yeah! Always love some Hat boys in GeoGuessr.

Poor boiks not realizing the reflection pool doesnt show up as water on the map lol

[@veeshan222]

To buy a car in japan u need to prove you have a s private parking spot with the exception of Kcar which is the cube cars which is why u see alot of them :P

[@tomadamo3226]

Isn't Jaguar a native American word?

[@ButzPunk]

It is! From one of the Tupi languages in Brazil (via Portuguese). The original pronunciation in Old Tupi was [jaˈɡʷa.ɾa] ("ya-GWA-ra")

[@roshanp9840]

Guy living in Bristol suprised there's a city named Toyota.

[@TokkiYamaguchi]

[@toasty4000000]

It's not that we think it's jag-war, that's just how the word jaguar is pronounced here lol. So, yeah all Americans lol, but it's not a think, it's a know

[@gravitydivide2576]

I just popped into Geoguesser, bombarded with a bunch of paywalls.. asked to log in. got put on a x3 2 min maps all in Gambia.. Then, was told to wait 17 hours to play another x3 2 min maps or pay... Wtf happened ? I mean, I totally understand it costs to upkeep, maintain and provide, but this has all the hallmarks of $$CASH$$ stakeholders and big corps stink all over it. hmmm...

[@roshanp9840]

Jaguar is not a British Company, lads.

Just as a little tidbit, in Canada our cost of living (particularly house and rent prices) has gotten so high that our Prime Minister resigned just yesterday lol.
