lol thats funny but you know why they really cant speak it correctly? It's cuz english has the worst vocabulary/grammer in the world. Japanese language is very simple so there you have it. Funny as hell though ahahahaa!

True, true. The english vocabulary has so many slangs, its really hard for someone trying to pick this up as their second language. Nothing against the Japanese, I am asian myself, but this brought back old memories of junior high when this came out.

[Boost Monkey]

cuz its not english..its engrish (www.engrish.com)

[DJPimpFlex]

I get some packagin at my work that just makes me laugh. IE:

"The Gizmo is a rucksack inside!"

Theres more, I just forget them right now, but that one was the best. Its a little Gizmo from Gremilins in a backpack cell phone key chain thingy....

[theicecreamdan]

that didnt make me laugh, I kinda chuckled at first expecting more to it... and then nothing

[projekt_s13]

[mandoz85]

[breakindrifts]

Well JDM students take English in school from 7th grade until they graduate...

[PF_Doom]

[FRpilot]

[!Zar!]

Ay, don't talk about the mentaly disabled like that.:duh:
lol

[nrg]

The answer is very simple; the English language has the worst vocabulary, grammar and punctuation structure.

[kuramaya]

Cause that stupid fu cker is in Japan when he made the video....Tom Green used to be funny to me, but now he is a tool...The fact that he is in Japan asking why they cant speak english really isnt a good choice for a Skit

[n2motorsports]

that was so weak. tom green sucks and blows.

[koukidough]

well i think Tom Green is pretty funny especially his "my bum video" true that he does seem pretty retarded in a way.

[Neejay]

lol

And I dont think he was seriously asking "Why cant they speak english properly" come on....

[OMGWTFBBQ]

^^that, plus thats probably just a literal japanese - english translation

I love engrish though, and think Tom Green is very funny

[Maeda]

The reason why japanese people can't speak english properly is because...
They don't actually respect our culture or people enough to bother. They know its bad and they don't give a fuck.

Japanese is NOT simple. How many of you know that the japanese language changes practically every week with the addition of new words/compounds and slang? Sure its easy to pronounce but how would you know what it was if its a french word combined with an english word, then cut in half and turned backwards?

The new deal in japan is to learn how to be korean, wanting to be USDM is so 2004.

[kuramaya]

If I woulda been there, I woulda went Bi lingual on his ass and had all the chicks laughing at his ass, then I would asked him why he is in Japan and can't speak Nihongo...then I woulda banged one of the chicks if I was still single:boink:

[sncs14]

I'm with Dan on this one. Not funny...just stupid.

[supportTHEezln]

lol

And I dont think he was seriously asking "Why cant they speak english properly" come on....

^ I agree.
It's being sarcastic to people who do actually think like that. Come on guys, try to not take everything so literally. That joke was obviously totally wasted on so many of you.

That was the dumbest shit ever, thanks for sharing. How about they can't speak English correctly cuz "ESL (english is a stupid language)" -Rex Navarette

everybody here is taking it way too seriously... it IS a joke, its not really funny, but it probably could have been better if he didn't just repeat himself over and over. That's nick jr humor right there.

[kazuo]

Its a very unfunny joke.

One, because Tom Green is not funny

and every other reason is cause Tom Green is not funny.

That shit was so irrtating, how he just kept repeating the same stupid engrish phrase over and over and over.

I'm glad that idiot finally disappeared.

[HKsilvia]

To the topic: Simply becoz they speak Japanese!!!! and they use their brain in stead of mouth!!!

[AllenRPS13]

becoz japanese speak english through their Katakana, not by the english words/letters

[jessfx]

i thought it was because the japanese dialects have something like 4 different tones, as opposed to english which has a grip... and also because there are certain letters and sounds in the english language that are nonexistent in the japanese dialects.

chinese dialects have like 8 tones and they still speak bad english.

...tom green. either love him or hate him. i just got over him.

Thai is a very tonal language...not so much Japanese...Japanese can be written in romanji with phonetics...Thai is really hard to write phonetically///

[vinhnumber]

because its commercial for them to have that acsent, they speak better english then any other asian decent

[Andrew Bohan]

becoz japanese speak english through their Katakana, not by the english words/letters

this is the most accurate answer i've seen so far

[m072514]

[j00ni3]

i think not~~~~~~~~ * and is it not ... any other decent asian? ... i think you need to work on your engrish also ~~~ also its Accent... -.-

[NemeGuero]

That video got old after the first time he read that phrase.

^^^ damn I guess you are Japanese..I hate when people say "Japs" :nono: but I guess if you area Nihongin that's cool...

[Kaji]

In summation, english is a poorly designed language.
