This is actually a pretty genius skit. It’s hilarious, unique, and completely in another language/culture. Farley is perfect.

[@bradplumb2279]

I translate Japanese for a living. For the record: the intro and the lines of the actors other than Mike are, for the most part, real Japanese, clearly translated from actual English sentences. I can tell that they wrote it in English first and then had someone translate and transcribe it phonetically, so the actors would know what to say. Their pronunciation is awful, so its hard to make out what they're saying a lot of the time, but the words they are trying to pronounce are actual words (The exception to that is whoever did the voiceover intro at the beginning. Their pronunciation is pretty good!). The reason some people think it's gibberish is because during the transitions, Mike seems to be improvising by throwing in random words. At some point, however, he always goes back on script to keep the sketch moving forward. The first question is real - he asks them how many keys are on a piano, with the choices being 70, 100, or 88. Incidentally, Mike mangles the words "hyaku" (100) and "hajichu hachi" (88) so badly, that he actually ends up saying something closer to "faster, bees, bees". Question 2 is hilarious because it's total nonsense. I think what they were going for is that he gives them three words and they're supposed to correctly write the kanji for one of them. However, the three words are "doki doki" (which is just the sound of a heart beat), "kagemusha" (the name of a Kurosawa movie), and Godzilla. Alec Baldwin scribbles something that does not resemble any language, but Julia Sweeney's is actually pretty close! She nearly gets the Kage part right and the rest is the kind of random flourish that you see in real calligraphy. In any case, they both get their words wrong, but the joke is that since Farley writes Godzilla in English, he spells it correctly so his answer is correct. When Farley is hooked up to the electrical wires, the question they ask is very odd. It sounds to me like Mike is saying ”according to children's songs, who is always sitting?" Farley answers "kwaki surpi niku" which is completely meaningless, and Mike asks the judges if that's close enough. They say no, because the answer is "kwaki surpi PIku" (again total nonsense). I will say that some of the mannerisms border on offensive but if you watch Japanese TV, you'll sometimes see them impersonate Americans and the results are no less cartoonish. There was a lot of effort that went into this.

[@xavierfranzoia6633]

Thanks I teach journalism and I use it to show to rioplatense castellano students the non verbal communication since this a bridge too far for a tourist. So most of students don't understand English nor Japanese but the beauty of this sketch is the non verbal communication from Garofalo Myers Farley and Alec.

[@Tzadeck]

Pulha Da Moita They actually make a really good effort to use real Japanese. Like, the first question is "How many keys are on a piano? 70, 100, or 88?" Baldwin answers 70, the girl (sorry, forgot her name) says 100, and Farley repeats the end of the question--88. But yeah, something like 50% of it is really hard to understand because they mispronounce it or forget their lines.

imo you can imitate people from other countries without being offensive (like this - it's super funny) There's a HUGE difference between actual racist comedy and this, this was funny and wasn't "making fun" of a race You can see that there are more comments here saying that others find this offensive than comments saying it's actually offensive.

that gibberish sounds like a real japanese... just wow...

[@CUMBICA1970]

+Rahmat Hidayat Actually it's not total gibberish. Some parts are (intentionally?) gibberish but you can pretty much catch the overall meaning. For instance, 2:15 Mike Myers: "piano ni nanki aruno? nanaju (gibberish) hatiju hachi?" (how many keys in a piano? 70 (gibberish) 88?" Alec Baldwin : "Nanaju?" ("70?") But bear in mind even if they had spoken correctly, still it's Tarzan-spoken stupidly oversimplified Japanese (like, me Japanese. Me like sushi really good.)

I miss Chris Farley. I work, everyday, with many young people (16 to 30 year-olds), who've never heard of, much less seen, any of Chris's skits. The over 35 crowd, most of them, are familiar with Farley, but only vaguely. Just goes to show you how ephemeral is life, and how everyone is eventually, or quite rapidly, forgotten.
