KUUKIYOMI Is RIDICULOUS & HILARIOUS!!!

[@DueNorthGaming]

I love it when video games made in Japan showcase Japanese culture for foreigners. Japan is a country I've wanted to travel to for a while now so seeing Dave play this game is good so that way if I ever do go I know certain cultural customs I wouldn't've learned had I not watched this video

[@phosphorus4]

…just don’t dip it in her sauce…

[@DueNorthGaming]

@@phosphorus4 lol

[@Crimson_Dragon01]

5:39 "Japanizer Samuraizer" lol Some explanation of the scenarios: 12:11 The correct thing to do is leave on time. In Japanese work culture, it is generally considered rude to leave before your boss. So in this scenario, the subordinates can't leave until you do. This is part of the reason Japan has such crazy overtime hours but is considered one of the least productive work cultures. Japanese people work harder, not smarter. 12:33 Yakiniku or "grilled meat" is a restaurant where you grill your own meat on a grill built into your table. We usually call this Korean BBQ in English. 13:00 The sushi with black stripe around it (Nori) is rolled omelet sushi. You would want to take just those so the chicken doesn't see it. 17:07 This a parent observation day at school. In Japanese there are a few Saturdays a year where students have classes and parents can go and observe the classes. 19:04 In the Tokyo area people stand on the left side of escalators leaving the left open for people to walk. This is reversed in the Osaka area. Kuukiyomi (空気読み) means to read the air, or as we usually say in English "Read the room." Fun fact: In Japanese online slang 空気読み is often abbreviated as "KY" for "kuukiyomi."

[@sknkfhkwearewest7]

20:03 In this situation, most people sits in empty space because Japanese people don’t like to be close to others.

[@sarahchu6091]

“Global Warming!” Dave: YEAHHHH

[@667coca]

If you come to Japan, you can play this game again.

[@barbatos_st3703]

Beat and only way to start a Sunday... With DGR!!!!

[@SlyNeon]

100% !

[@あああ-g1x8m]

4:29 In Japan, many Japanese don't push the button when the bus arrives at final stop soon. So you may not consider...? Japan has a lot of serious culture but because of it, this game is interesting

[@victoriamather2267]

More people need to play this game. Hilarious and much needed in the society (minus the sexiest parts). Excited for the others, Dave!

[@mike1024.]

I know this was a terrible game to play, but I'm all on board for the return of the ridiculous and hilarious series!

[@くまざわ-t3m]

“I should dip it in her sauce!” - DGR 2023

[@LuisR142004]

funny, how he ends up reading things in a backwards manner xP

[@Sp4rkler3rickson]

Apparently "Yakinuki" means "grilled meat," making Sushi the more appealing choice to treat a cow to dinner. Still not the ideal choice, but...

[@phosphorus4]

Though they do have vegetarian sushi sometimes.

[@Bobbias]

That would be Yakiniku, Yaki means grilled, Niku means meat.

[@轟くなめこ]

Japanese people like yakiniku so much that when asked if they want sushi or yakiniku, they hesitate🍖

[@kanatah2045]

For yakiniku, you grill meat, and the smell would get on your clothes. It’s usually not considered the best place to go on for dates, or at least like first couple if dates before you get to really know the person.

[@thohangst]

I didn't know the Yellow Ranger was JOHN CENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@overdose0074]

As a person of Japanese decent, this was actually a pretty easy quiz lol

[@伝説の最強うーたんたん]

お前は日本人か？

[@sknkfhkwearewest7]

大阪と東京ではエスカレーターで立ち止まるのが左右逆なんだよなあ😂日本にいても知らない人は知らない😂

[@Novum228]

“Please enjoy Japanese culture” The Nintendo Switch was made in Japan after all

9:56 if this were a try not to laugh challenge, I would have already lost .

[@vaelegoro7782]

16:18 wrong top is power bottom left is wisdom bottom right is courage

[@TheAceOfFire]

"I have 147 IQ!" ~Also DGR: "SANTA!!!! Look everyone, it's Santa! ...Oh, wait. I was playing a game and I was supposed to do something. Oops."

[@日下香織-b7j]

You should consider ordering a glass of beer because it is simpler for everyone to order the same thing and start drinking together. You may want to consider taking a Tamago Sushi made of eggs for yourself instead of passing them to the Chicken man. You may want to stay on the left side of the escalator in Osaka, Japan, as it is the local rule. (In Tokyo, it is common to keep on the right side.) Each region has its own local customs. As a Japanese, it's funny rules for me as well.😂 Good luck.

[@Vintopolis8616]

9:00 It's considered rude to wake someone up

[@tyn5802]

"Are you even listening?!" Dgr: Byyyye

[@severussnape2917]

"... Considerate" is the least considerate result

[@nugboy420]

Santa scooting away.

[@salfoyer2411]

22:20 don’t worry we won’t DGR

[@MarchMarauder]

This was really fun to watch, will you play more?

[@hikarustarr]

I could explain most of the ones that you didn't get, but it would take forever. Basically, the point is to make the other people around you feel happy, at the expense of getting what you really want.

[@robertstevensii4018]

I laughed so hard at this. Great content!

[@FamiliarlyFrigid]

For most of these I could take a guess on which option was "right" I feel like Dave would've done a lot better if he started every round testing the controls. Stick doesn't do anything? Then it's looking for a button press.

[@BrawlerClaws67]

My man is very kuukiyomenai.

[@josephbraus4836]

Lol he said no necking in the halls lmao that guy was pissed. 😅

[@HedgieMaster05]

Happy birthday Amanda! (though I’m sure by this point it’s probably already happened as vods take a while to edit)

[@IsaacComelli]

5:35 "Japanize Samuraizers, wait, Japanese Samuraizers is weaker than..."

[@fireboltthunder2360]

I didn't know Dgr had Sports Story. That's a great game

[@trexpanda]

That J.A.K.Q. easter egg was amazing!!

[@tybertimus]

Happy (I assume belated now) Birfday Amanda!

[@ianrobinson2130]

You should definitely play My Name Is Mayo for this serious, I think it rightfully fits the bill. Also it has two sequels so if you like you'll have plenty of follow-up content

[@denischen8196]

This game needs more button prompts.

[@mickgorro]

Kūkiyomi means "air reading", I think. What that would mean, Idk :).

[@Lulu-hp1re]

The Western equivalent is "reading the room" or "reading between the lines". It basically means to pay attention and act appropriately in social situations. Aka be considerate to others without having to ask.

[@Debg91]

It's a very important part of Japanese culture. Suppose you do something you usually consider appropriate and some people around you start looking at you. Then, you have to "read the air" and realise that you might have been doing something wrong according to Japanese culture. Japanese people are usually very subtle and won't tell you directly when you're doing something wrong.

[@saraross8396]

The highlighted one was the Triforce of Courage.

[@janalawinterwing8589]

I felt like the ratings were generally opposite of how well he did... The more rude his behavior, the more considerate it said he was.

[@mickgorro]

[@fruit3193]

5:40 Did he just say “samurizer”

[@Katesashark]

13:32 So you want the WORLD to be 30 degrees Celsius?

[@bug_catcher]

Very considerate outro.

[@smallstone1152]

Alright, it's been a year, when are you going to play the sequel, Dave?

[@a.s.raiyan2003-4]

Japanese games like this always weird me but still kinda make me laugh. Although the game has a curious habit of showing lion mating rituals. If you were in the stream you would know.

[@Hiya200]

9:55 DGR caught in 8K! 😹💔

[@ChipTheMusician04]

Happy birthday to Amanda! 🎉

[@marcgyven]

As a suggestion for the Ridiculous & Hilarious series, I submit Conduct Together. At least, it's hilarious if you enjoy dramatic explosions from miniature trains.

[@icy1007]

lol, it's literally the same button every time for button presses and Dave is having issues.

[@j-yoshi64_justcallmej]

Thank you for playing this frustrating game so we don't have to, Dave. Yeah, some button prompts would really improve it.

[@phosphorus4]

…Please tell me you looked at 3DS games for this…

[@Katesashark]

Truly… mildy intelligent.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

Has there ever been a more appropriate phrase for Dave than the one at the start of the video?

[@わたりょー-b3o]

Im Japanese and find out this video. its so funny

[@rho-starmkl4483]

5:24 🧽: BALD! BALD! BALD! BALD!

[@joeadops5964]

This was so frustrating to watch

[@cjphillips90]

Thank you for the video. Commenting for the Algorithm.

[@Flegz1]

This game makes no sense and it's hilarious.

[@dote3222]

I have never been this early,cool.

[@轟くなめこ]

Even Japanese people don't read the atmosphere so far, so it's okay😇🫶

[@schirmc1]

That was hilarious

[@RickSjoerds]

It all adds up to 171 somewhere... 😀

[@michaelkoerli3815]

I Immediately download the game hahaha

[@LOKI0186]

That's the Triforce of courage powers on the left wisdom up top

[@phosphorus4]

It was red though…at least he knew that… …Hey wait a minute!…Power is on the top!… …most of the time at least…

[@Voyo24]

What does considerate mean?

[@ohno777x]

It’s impossible. What’s the correct answer??

[@MohammedKaza]

is she available on browser or hacked one hahaha ?

[@a.s.raiyan2003-4]

I feel bad for who ever edited this video. It's really confusing what is appropriate and what's not.

[@TobuBunny]

I own this game it is hilarious to play.

[@a.s.raiyan2003-4]

It's weird how this game is meant to show us an idea of Japanese culture yet it's so bad about what it wants you to do.

[@nugboy420]

Got a 41 on doody.

[@amberhamlin9695]

Best Video Ever 😂😂

Proof dgr would be an annoying gaijin in japan.

[@mike1024.]

Yeah, I didn't really like this at all. You were stuck saying "what am I supposed to do" throughout most of the video. Kudos to you for pushing through something with next to no instruction or feedback on how you did.
