Hello, you magnificent bastards! I made this video because Filthy Frank fans kept asking me to make a reaction video. To be honest, I don't think the average people, let alone the average Japanese people get FF. In order to understand video, you need to understand the concept of weeaboo, which doesn't exist in Japan.
The weeaboo video: • WEEABOOS

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I'm not sure if you can tell by this video, but the first couple was super uncomfortable watching the video. That was the most awkward interview I've ever done so far.

[@AAJillSandwich]

Maybe now we shall have a whole new series of interviews exclusively about FilthyFrank. xP

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

No effin way.

[@AAJillSandwich]

Showing anyone a FilthyFrank video can be pretty "interesting".

[@OkabeKimtaro]

good thing you didn't show them some other way more awkward videos of filthy frank then lol

[@drm316]

I can understand, I found it very interesting to watch. Did you tell them that his videos are satire?

[@Deathend]

When Japanese people criticize a half Japanese guy for making fun of wannabe Japanese.. We've gone full circle.

[@Skadongle]

lol

[@sourfromtwitch]

Kin haha true

[@Ian-hx2xv]

+ali zhou filthyfrank is half japanese? that explains why he's such a tryhard weaboo. muh heritage

[@Ian-hx2xv]

***** That means nothing. The desperation to be Japanese only further proves he's a weaboo. Japanese don't view half Japanese as Japanese.

[@Ian-hx2xv]

*****​ It is also very common for these types of ppl who go around yelling about weaboo's to turn out as weaboo's themselves. It's a way to feel as if they're not weaboo when they are.

[@user-us1yu8gx9s]

"maybe he's a bit like weeaboos and he thinks he know better than other people" THAT HAD ME DYING

[@NRLazy]

It's also funny because he's actually japanese lol *Joji Frank I mean so if anyone knows he does.

[@romulloqueiroz]

I used to say bad things about weaboos, but after listening to his comment I shut up.

[@krrrimmi8343]

FACT: "Antiweeabs are weeabs who are actually hates their fellow weeabs." XD

[@ManubibiWalsh]

He was so spot on though. Like I dislike weaboos as much as anyone else does, but I'm not so extra about it.

[@Lavafish2525]

Frank treats everyone equally, everyone gets shit!

[@KpopNiDontStop]

Its kind of funny how some weebs don’t realize Frank is Japanese... and was born and raised there.

[@jason2433]

Are you angry because he made that rant about weaboos, and you somehow took offense since you might be a weeb too ? Seriously, how triggered are you? I'm seeing you everywhere in this comment section. If you're triggered get over it already. If you watched the whole video, he says that he doesn't care or judge those 32 year olds virgins obsessed with anime, as long as they keep that weaboo shit away from him. Also, he made that video like 3 years ago and quit youtube for his music career. So just rub some benghazi cream on your butt and chill already, kiddo.

[@jason2433]

robokou Who exactly was Frank "bullying," you half Witt? It was a rant to people who think they are Japanese for watching anime. We aren't "riding dicks," we just agree with him since there are weebs out there that act and think like that. I don't know how it makes Frank and us Bigoted. I care because you're spreading hate allover the comment section like a little triggered 12 year old that can't let go. Lmao! Once again, I only agree with Frank because it's true and this shit happens IRL ,although, I don't see as a big problem . And Frank wasn't just talking about weebs, he was talking about anyone who has a weird obsession over something. You should have watched the whole video instead of getting triggered, breathing hard, and typing really fast on your keyboard. And as a sage once said: "it's pointless to argue with obnoxious fucks who can't use their brain to think and understand the situation properly." Anyway, if you're just gonna call me a "fagot" Dick rider" instead of making an understandable argument, then don't bother replying back.

[@eltoneltonee]

Laugh urself dimwit 😁

[@LastNRA]

That's why he hated Japan in the first place

[@arseface2k934]

robokou Yo don't mean to interrupt a fight between 14-year-olds on youtube but why do you keep saying fagot? Why say it if you have to copy and paste a whole sentence telling people not to confuse it with faggot? Wouldn't it be easier to just not say it?

[@belinskiparadox7687]

filthy frank isn't as funny when you can't understand him.

[@TeddyIsAMonster]

true

[@Illuminatiman44]

no one is funny if you can't understand them

[@yaweimar]

They took it as an informational video..

[@brajuhani]

To be honest, all Franks videos are informational.

[@lalremruatahnamte6300]

they don't really get the sarcasm

[@faridahkamil87]

Hell, it must have been damn awkward to just stand there awkwardly while waiting for their reactions..

[@microwaves2107]

Kotobii Well, his definition of a weeb is not even wrong. And I doubt he said those things as a joke. Lmao

[@kakeyui2000]

No, this video is unfair. This interview only interviewed people who did not watch animation. I also have to interview Japanese animation lovers. But I want you to remember it. Japanese citizens usually react in this way. So it is better to hide in Japan normally. This movie shows the reason. The Japanese is also negative to the Japanese otaku. There are many weeaboo events in Japan. I am pleased if you enjoy it there.

[@FullyAntagonized]

Ok that was hilarious. I doubt most normal people regardless of nationality would 'get' internet memes and stuff like filthy frank though. I hardly get it.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Yeah, his humour is definitely not for everybody regardless of nationality.

[@Otonium]

+That Japanese Man Yuta Talking about that... Do Japanese people (teens and twenty something) use memes?

[@blahblahdude100]

+Otonium What is 2chan?

[@Otonium]

+Mybloeby Got it. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's a forum. So the answer you're implying is that yes, they do? I'll check it out.

[@Deepishpls]

Of course, memes are always apparent in society. At the very least, a lot of people will be aware of pop culture memes, e.g. the Kanye Taylor Swift interruption. They also have 2channel, which is an online community with its own inside jokes and whatnot. I'm going to go ahead and guess the guy who said "deep inside, I probably do" most likely goes on 2ch or some other text/image board.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

The moment when you realize than none of them bursted out laughing as much as I would have when watching Papu Franku's video. It shows you a huge difference in culture and upbringing that they have from other cultures, mainly Americans.

[@luka3174]

Just Some Guy without a Mustache and australia

[@Dan-sd3wx]

Hwakin Dong yea

[@JustBetakickArchived]

Couldn't agree more.

[@ther6989]

wet vs dry humor.. as in, Francis of the Filth makes me wet and the people reacting make me dry

[@mr.avocadoman1004]

nah they just dont know what memes are lol

[@PixelReaper]

Well, in all seriousness, Frank's actor is originally Japanese and evidently can speak the language so he definitely has more knowledge than most weeaboos.

[@YMangaka]

that's another quick statement : saying someone got more knowledge bout Japan just because he is *originally* japanese is as irrevelant as saying weeaboos can speak japanese through animes.

[@Callum_XV]

yea because weeaboos are originally weeaboos huh

[@Skyfoogle]

+YMangaka lolno. If you are a Japanese person who speaks Japanese and lived in Japan, you most fucking definitely have more knowledge about Japan and the Japanese language than a weeaboo.

[@YMangaka]

Skyfoogle - obviously ! But if you're just a regular someone who dont live in Japan and only have japanese origins, that doesnt mean you know much more about japanese culture or language than anyone else.

[@Skyfoogle]

***** yes, but in filthy frank's case, he does live in japan.

[@juansek208]

Maybe you should have told them that Filthy Frank is a character. And the video is actually 75% a joke.

[@supersloth1667]

Thats what I was thinking, he hints at it by asking "what do you think hes really like?" but only one of them even thought to ask if he was part japanese or anything. They clearly didnt realize.

[@qurfy1]

Japanese definitely need some help understanding this lol

[@robokou]

Lol, bullsh!t. 😂 It's bigotry hiding behind a "joke". The Japanese in this video were indeed aware of that---which is why he asked them what they thought he was "really like". And cut the sh!t about Filthy Frank being Japanese---it's irrelevant and amounts to 💩. The dude's a Westernized mutt.

[@atomosvrial1708]

oh wow....well.....

[@scampublic5439]

You're the kind of person he was talking about in the video. @robokou

[@Xraellium]

[@pureevil9496]

That's Japanese people for you.

[@WhiskeyDoe1]

Well to be fair, even we don't understand the mentality of canc- weeaboos.

[@pureevil9496]

YND They are just as shitty as the rest of us. At least they don't kill people with their stupid katanas.

[@WhiskeyDoe1]

Crow Feathers Were you a weeaboo who got triggered or something? I sense hostility.

[@pureevil9496]

YND No. I like anime and stuff but am also aware that it's not real.

[@KoolGuy420]

I love how all of these people didn't want to judge him based on one video alone. They treat him with so much respect. I still think some of them didn't quite get the message or thought he's being serious.

[@ManectricReturns]

that's Japanese people haha always so kind and non judgemental

[@Timelord918273645]

lol

[@drbg11]

He isn't being 100% serious though.

[@ElekrisLP]

well that's the problem you have when you try explaining weeaboos to japanese people: why would you be against it if foreigners praised your country?

[@KoolGuy420]

Well there are many missconceptions towards japanese culture. I myself hate how other people view germany as a country for example. Don't get me wrong. Being praised is certainly a good thing, but it's gotta be for the right purpose.

[@SethPortland]

They need to see the Pink Guy in japan video lol.

[@jaidenmead1239]

[@karimblix4378]

[@yuluvii]

OriginalDrDeLeon Yes it did

[@grayfox6930]

@OriginalDrDeLeon did you watch the fucking video?

[@giuseslim3161]

Noooo I needed a reaction to "Ore wa ochinchin ga daisuki nandayo"

[@senorserena4630]

Random Videos Same, lmao

[@jupitersorbit9314]

Random Videos We all need this.

[@awristbone9707]

Random Videos I put "ore wa ochinchin" into google translate and it said "I'm sorry".

[@ZeldamateurLP]

"ochinchin" is childish japanese for penis. The whole sentence would be something like: "I love penis"

[@giuseslim3161]

Yup

[@Katziezi]

I think showing a video like this to the average japanese person who (sadly, but it's true) can't really understand complex english sentences like Papa Franku uses in these videos is pointless. It's like showing your average weeaboo some japanese comedian who uses more than just the basic phrases. He / she just won't get the point.

[@Katziezi]

Verty Oh, didn't notice that. Still, they most likely have no clue about western internet memes and many terms can't be accurately translated, so it's still not easy for them to get the whole point, I think no one got the point of the video actually.

[@Katziezi]

Verty Yeah. That's what I meant. It's basically just getting them the same reaction over and over again. There was only one guy who had a basic clue about what a "weeaboo" was and he also said that he thinks they're disgusting, which is the only honest, not that tolerant opinion I've heard yet. I think reactions like this are way more interesting because they let you really understand people. It's boring to watch them talk if they don't express theirselves you know. But especially in japanese culture, where people are more reserved than in other countries and are scared of "losing their face" won't openly talk about this in public. This dude had some balls for voicing his true opinion, kudos to him for that seriously.

[@Katziezi]

+Verty This channel is basically "watch disinterested japanese declaring their public opinion over something while being nervous saying something wrong + being slightly confused" No hate though, I really like Yuta as a person, he seems nice and opposing to most other people has the balls to go out and do such a thing and record it + upload it with high quality which is, even though given how biased the opinions are, entertaining me and many others. I enjoy these videos in general, but I think there is no point if the interviewed subjects don't have a clue at all about what they are seeing. The only thing interesting about that is seeing them struggle to guess what the stuff they're watching is about. So a general advice to everyone, if you really want a japanese guys/girls opinion, be friends with one and ask them personally after getting to know them. That way you'll get a way more accurate answer. That works especially great over the internet, as you don't even need to go outside to find people there + thanks to the anonymity of the internet, they'll actually say what they think most of the times.

[@dunebuggy1292]

This channel caters to japanophiles that want to believe Japan is a paradise of progressive ideals, only for them to actually go to Japan and come back disappointed.

[@henrick232]

+marvin5307ma Someone who wants to go to France is "normal" but someone who wants to go to japan is a weeaboo..thats irritating..people use this term without knowing what it means. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say because I'm not english👀

[@Metal6Sex6Pot6]

I think they didn't understand english well enough to understand filthy frank, you really have to understand where frank is coming from first i think, he does things as an act, being the worst person around, to show how some people can actually feel about things deep inside. We can all relate to him, but not in good ways and that is the point.

[@DenPras]

give this man a cookie!!

[@gildergreen9995]

They had subtitles

[@Metal6Sex6Pot6]

Deny Prasetyawan Hey, that's pretty good thanks

[@Metal6Sex6Pot6]

ミームGildergreen Yes, i know they did, but that's not what i meant by "understand" not understanding his words but understanding him. It is very clear they did not. It was like watching children try to understand politics.

[@InoROL]

From watching a few of these videos I feel that the typical response is some thing along the lines of, "As long as it's not hurting anybody~"

[@killua5676]

Not to generalize, but that's the reponse you'll usually get from most Japanese people when you put them on the spot to speak about someone else. It's got to do with their culture and the way they try to avoid making any trouble.

[@itsukarine]

I agree with it, but I'd like it if it didn't seem they only following that reasoning outwardly.

[@eartianwerewolf]

I feel like a large chunk of people in the US do as well.

[@WhiskeyDoe1]

That actually applies to everyone, well except americans.(Not hating, i just think the people here are more "voiced")

[@vrpnblstr3441]

[@williss11]

Pong Angelo lol why are they watching it then?

[@pongangelo2048]

If you have a chance for having a temporary fame for being featured in a simple survey video made by a "popular" or "highly subbed" youtuber that only requires minimal effort, will you let it slip? Or maybe none of these people recognized Yuta as a highly subbed youtuber and they let themselves be recorded coz they don't have jobs and they got nothing left to do with their lives. just.... like.... me... These are just assumptions of mine. Don't expect this shit to be 100% accurate.

[@SapphicKnits]

williss11 Because the interviewer asked them to???

[@robokou]

"There are no weeaboos in Japan." In motherfucking Japan! The _nerd capital_ of the world! You're completely full of sh!t if you're willing to believe that.

[@pongangelo2048]

lol, most of them hate anime and weebs. and by the way... who said "There are no weeaboos in Japan."?

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

Shows how Japan and the West are like two different planets.

[@RedHairdo]

Not quite. And "west" is too much of a generalized term. lol But yeah, cultures. bro. I mean, with that point of view of yours, I wonder how many planets you'd find in Africa and Asia alone? lol

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

RedHairdo Cultures in the West are relatively similar from each other. Far Eastern cultures are relatively similar from each other. But the East and the West, are definately different.

[@Doc_Fun]

But Japan is infinitely closer to us than almost nay other eastern country due to the occupation and reconstruction. It's different, to be sure, but there's a lot of similarities too, just like any foreign country.

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

Dr. Fun I'd agree with you on that, but the difference between, say the US and France, the UK or Germany are overwhelmingly more similar than the cultural differences between Japan and the US or France, Germany, Canada, France, etc...

[@Doc_Fun]

Félix Veilleux-Ouellet If you go there, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at how similar the cultures have become.

[@mrmovieguy1000]

So basically no one knew what a weeaboo was but they understood that Frank was saying some people are like that, not all Japanese and they just didn't get the filthy frank humour.

[@weaj_]

Kevin Deegan yes kind of, but there aren't any Japanese weaboos because they actually are Japanese, not trying to force themselves into the culture.

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

Sadly all of his videos these days will be demonitized whenever they come up. And he seems to be moving on to other areas of entertainment. I'm not saying that he would regret creating his channel, needs a lot of courage to create that type of content and I'm sure he learned a lot from it. But music seems to be his next main interest now. Even though some of his comedy was really cringy, Joji made some hilarious jokes and is great at creating good pacing. If he learned programming when he was a teenager I'm pretty sure he would be one of the top guys in the area due to his capability of finding his own way of solving problems.

[@TheCaboose1308]

I think the satire and irony was lost in translation a bit but its nice to see them being kind despite the antisocialism being shown. A bit of a forced topical video to show on the streets Of good old average japan. Maybe around Akihabara in Tokyo you might get a different sort of response ? Show it to people who are in the loop but not quite so too speak.

[@lotlat]

was hoping a 2channer would've come along and spoke his mind

[@terranort4279]

Excellent idea. Go do that in Akiba!!!

[@ManectricReturns]

also there would be a cultural barrier, westerners often make fun of anime viewers or weaboos but from what I can gather from these interviews, the Japanese have no problem with otakus or weaboos outside of Japan because they're honoured to have foreigners interested in their country. weaboo is not even a word they understand so I doubt they understood 100% what was happening.

[@yllowturtl]

I've seen that a lot of Gaijin say that most Japanese people don't get this kind of humour based on irony and sarcasm.

[@stvltiloqvent]

there is definitely a cultural barrier. aside from the fact that otaku culture is more widespread in Japan, weaboos/otakus also have different implications OUTSIDE of Japan, especially those in Western countries. when a native Japanese person becomes an otaku, they have an obsession about an aspect of their own culture. that's fine. but when a foreigner becomes an otaku, they obsess over a small aspect of a culture that they're not familiar with to begin with. and so a white American otaku, for example, is much more prone to stereotyping the _entirety_ of Japanese culture based off of anime alone. native Japanese otakus don't have that problem because they're part of the Japanese society, and they already know Japanese culture in its complexity. this is where otaku's become 'weaboo's in the Western cultural sphere. foreign otaku's that take it to a whole 'nother level may start projecting all sorts of exaggerated or simply unreal stereotypes onto Japan's entire _nation_ - sometimes to the point of being orientalist (in the way they fetishise aspects of the Other). that's basically racism, whether intended or not. this is why other Westerners would take issue with a 'weaboo'. so based on that racialised aspect alone, it's already harder for say, a Japanese person that's never lived abroad, to grasp the taboo'ness of weaboos -hah that rhymed- and then, yeah, there's also that thing where irony/satire is really uncommon in Japanese media.

Our Weebs are japans Otaku. Being an Otaku is NOT a good thing.

[@Darkwolfpocco]

Laurence Buttler I mean being an Otaku in Japan is not a good thing. The stigma we have against weebs japan has against Otakus.

[@Skyfoogle]

Untrue. In Japan, an otaku is simply a geek or a nerd. A person who enjoys playing video games more often than normal people could be labelled an otaku. Though if you're non-Japanese and you label yourself this, you need help.

[@Darkwolfpocco]

Skyfoogle From what I understand Otakus in japan are shut-ins.

[@sabetasama]

Nope. Otaku roughly translates to Nerd or Geek, but the social stigma against them is far greater than in the States. They're typically defined as being so obsessed with something they let all social interactions fall apart. Yung Abuelo is also wrong, because Japan actually has a very serious problem with their NEET Hikkikomori populations.

[@GrimVenture]

That to

[@blahchop]

He has expressed that he watches/watched anime and obviously has an interest in Japanese culture, as he is haafu. He does a lot self-satire as well as parodying the extreme cases of what he is covering in his videos.. If he weren't involved in any way in the otaku culture he would not be able to give such an objective yet personal account/perspective of/on the oddities of it. From the perspective of a native Japanese person viewing his self-satire and parody of the American otaku culture it would give a "holier than thou" impression. Since he obviously knows enough about the subculture to critique it and express his grievances on the people in said culture. They also mentioned his intelligence and self awareness of his parody and self-satire. I also believe that he is intelligent (like some mentioned in the video) and he knows it well and unlike the typical "holier than thou" he is aware of the opinions of others on that type of statement being made coming from the type of person he is. That's why I like some of his videos. It's not the slap stick that entertains me.. It's the level awareness and presence of self as well as others in creating the content that he does that amuses me.

[@iwolfman37]

***** write English or Japanese... this mix is really stupid... exactly what I was talking about... everyone is different... you can't say that those who meant they don't care are not honest... or can you read minds? I don't think so...

[@crallen33]

Well my keyboard is in English and I cbb using google translate, but I was just speaking literally. Tatemae doesn't have a very good literal translation, nor does kimoi (although Yuta used 'disgusting'). I can't read minds and tell you they're lying, as much as you can't and tell me they're telling the truth. I CAN speak from personal experience, and just common sense, to suggest that this is the kind of topic where Japanese people will use tatemae instead of being totally honest. You really think they'd blatantly insult a group of foreigners in public video interview with someone they just met?

[@Nifuruc]

***** so you're telling me, that your english isn't good enough, to use the words "honest" and/or "dishonest"? or even "official stance"? you could even say "opinion in public"... 気持ち悪い can be translated literally to "to have a bad feeling"... きもい is just the abbreviation... but "disgusting" is spot on... I'm German and I don't mix languages just because there is no literal translation... I want to be understood and I don't want to sound like a weirdo... I don't say they're honest... I couldn't care less because I don't know them personally... I just expected them to say these things... I have my own opinion about this topic and japanese friends share the same opinion... and I know them long enough to be sure, that they're honest... you shouldn't interpret too much... the fact that most of these people don't even know the term "weeaboo" (and don't get it even if they look it up) speaks volumes about their opinions... it's a different culture... let's look at the word "otaku"... our understanding of the word is very different to Japanese's understanding... we're talking about anime and manga "freaks"... they're talking about people, who are obsessed with a specific thing... collecting stamps or toy trains, going to idol concerts, watching anime... you get the idea... btw... there's no point in asking people for their opinion, if you're assuming them to lie... this isn't a conspiracy... not every Japanese holds back his/her true belief...

[@crallen33]

+Nifuruc To call their opinions 'dishonest' wouldn't really be fair, so much as to label them as liars. I could've been super literal and said 'It's just the opinions Japanese people use in public to appear respectful' but, since you pointed out that you learned Japanese, I figured you'd understand 'tatemae' - which is a specific enough term and was just easier (if I was talking to friends back home, I'd either speak English or explain it). As for 'kimoi', his use would probably be more closely translated as 'creepy' or 'strange', which is why I refrained from putting words in his mouth. I'm not sure what you're trying to disagree with me about. The guy in the video even admitted that he wouldn't say his true feelings in public (3:45).

Japanese people do not judge other people all the time like we do in the Western world. It is not in their culture. They learn to RESPECT other people, not to JUDGE them. They are more (andsometimes overly) preoccupied about judging themselves.

[@MilkPlus1962]

RAPHAEL Lasne Yeah that's why words like NEET and Otaku exists don't it?

[@MishaFlower]

Japanese people are extremely judgemental.

[@gerijokub7737]

Rayan Zahrani, It doesn't matter if they are judgmental underneath or not, because in the end they are taught to respect others despite speaking their own true sentiments. I love how people jump on the japanese for not showing their honesty, but in reality, the whole principle of being "respectful" and "non-conflicting" is based on a superficial thinking that you must maintain harmony in order to have a peaceful environment, and this not unique just in Japan either, it's just that Japan has been the most discussed country regarding this concept. Another great example is Germany, same as japanese, they are also taught to respect others, to feel guilt over their history etc but in reality they're just as brainwashed as any other nation on this planet. Try asking any german person what he thinks about the current refugee situation in Germany, and he'll tell you it's perfectly ok, despite feeling disgust and deep down hatred. It seems like people forget how "adequacy" originates.

[@MishaFlower]

Not sure what you're trying to say geri.

[@gerijokub7737]

I'm not expecting you understand it anyway...
