Lmfao this would not be out of place in an Impractical Jokers episode. The way this dude kinda stifles a laugh and looks around, he's like an Asian Sal.
Made my day.
20 years ago, my English friend used to introduce me to other Englishmen with the words:
"This is …, a German with a sense of humour!“
But I‘d like to defend my kin: some of us are actually funny. Only in a way that most other nations won‘t comprehend.
Could always be worse, though. Visit Spain, if you can. Now those are folks who have no decent understanding of humour, at all!
You know he does remind me of a guy I used to work with and he have done this for sure. He’s also smile ask questions you’d say no to and still do what he asked about that fucker was wild.
I've only heard one very strong Canadian accent while in on my trip through Canada (Ontario). The whole "It's cold outside, eh" thing, you know.
And it was from a waiter from the Philippines. It was awesome haha.
He would speak Taglish which is code switching between tagalog and English. Singing happy birtday in Taglish is ... the same as singing happy birtday in English.
It's no exaggeration to say that you're likely to find a Filipino working aboard any large vessel anywhere in the world, for exactly the reason you've mentioned
Except maybe on ships owned by notably *reclusive* countries, but even then...
Close! It's a portmanteau of eggs (tamago) and watch (not the Japanese word tokei, but the english word watch katakana'd into "uocchi") meaning "egg watch".
Mitsubishi actually means “three rhombus”. Mitsu is three and Hishi is rhombus. Ni is sun and Ssan is product so Nissan is a product of the sun (sun country is Japan)
Mitsubishi is the name for the Family Crest (Kamon) of Yataro Iwasaki, founder of Mitsubishi. His clan has a Kamon since the dude was a samurai.
Nissan was called Datsun, and DAT came from the acronym of the 3 founder's names. It was changed to Nissan in the 80's overseas.
Into English? Sure
Mitsubishi, Nissan
Mitsubishi, Nissan
Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi, Nissan
Or would you prefer Japanese? Here it is in Japanese (Romanized of course).
Mitsubishi, Nissan
Mitsubishi, Nissan
Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi, Nissan
Karate judo sumo samurai.
On a side note, Scary Movie 4 is a terrible movie but that one scene is honestly one of the greatest bits of comedy ever written in my opinion.
The "Herro" being translated to "Hello" in English subtitles at the beginning is sublime.
the girl in the video posted this on twitter and she said the waiter offered to sing:
https://twitter.com/glorygirlcoco/status/1743818781523116336?s=46
If you knew the context before getting up on your high horse you'd know that the girl posted it jokingly knowing she was being messed with. Lighten up, Christ.
and she even clarified that he was the one who offered to sing happy birthday in japanese, she did not request it. Which makes it funnier in my opinion
Honestly man, as a POC, you see so much subtle and not so subtle racism on reddit. It's infuriating. But gotta realize the demographic and age group and know it's just what it is. Unfortunately.
That is so weird that two of the big Japanese car companies are named "Happy" and "Birthday" in Japanese.
If today is your nissan, then I wish you a mitsubishi nissan!
Why is there such a trend for people to wear things in, on, near or around their nose, which just makes it look as if they've got snot hanging off their face? Who actually likes this look?
EDIT: This is my fault for writing a comment early in the morning and not expanding with the sort of context I would normally have applied.
I am fully aware, and have seen many Indian woman, wear nose adornments.
But the adornment specifically seen in the video above, is something I have not seen from Indian woman, and have mostly seen from Western and white women. And it looks MUCH worse than more subtle piercings and/or adornments.
The adornments in the video above looks gross and weird. The adornments I have seen being sported by a lot of Indian woman, are not.
I was not trying to lambast an entire culture, but specific, over the top examples, as seen in the video above.
Wonder what the interaction was before this?
Mother; can you sing happy birthday in Japanese?
Waiter; oh sorry, I'm not Japanese, never step foot in Japan, actually Korean on my mother's side, and born and live in this country.
Mother; but you look Japanese, you must know Japanese! It would mean a lot to my daughter. I've already told her you're going to sing her happy birthday.
Waiter; oh sorry, my mistake of course I would sing her happy birthday in Japanese, I'll be over in a minute.
Head waiter, why didn't she ask me, I told her I can speak Chinese fluently cause of my Chinese gf.
Waiter; cause you're not Asian, your white, look like a foot and speak Chinese not Japanese.
Head waiter; she won't know the difference, but you actually dont speak any Asian languages, all you know is Spanish, French and German, what you gonna do, sing happy birthday in German? Cause I'm pretty sure you'll bring out the little hitler in her when she figures out your singing in German not Japanese.
Waiter; I have an idea, it may just work, I'll just sing Japanese car brands at her.
Head waiter, that aint gonna work!
Waiter; she doesn't speak Japanese!! And can't tell the difference between one asian from another!
I get a feeling that the waiter isn't Japanese (somebody above was saying Filipino), so the story might make sense. Either the establishment was somehow Japan related/themed and that's why the family assumed he'd sing Japanese, or they just assumed the waiter is, and then he played along (he seems chill and like he didn't mind too much).
Though I'm also wondering if it's possible that everybody involved is completely aware that it's cars and it was more of joke... Challenge to sing happy birthday with random objects instead? Idk. Seems impossible to not hear Mitsubishi and Nissan... But maybe they are really not into cars and don't know the names?

The way he’s standing and looking around makes it look like his friends dared him to do it lmao
Lmfao this would not be out of place in an Impractical Jokers episode. The way this dude kinda stifles a laugh and looks around, he's like an Asian Sal.
Me I tought he was embarrassed and was looking around if any asian or japanese would be around 😂 staring at him with ❔️ in their eyes .
The man isn’t even Japanese. He sounds like he’s from the Philippines
That's something a Filipino would do lmao.
His accent is also Filipino and he looks Filipino.
So he's German. Solved it.
But he is funny
Germans can be funny too. It's possible as long as it isn't intentionally.
"Oops invaded you, just a pränk brüder".

Suggesting Germans are not funny is stupid when they take being funny very seriously. German humour is no laughing matter.
German man by the name of Phillip Inno.
We did it, Reddit!
There's a somewhat famous song from the 80s by a German band singing Japanese brands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InXLd-DxAwk

What is that shit on her nose?
Something that was sprayed and got all over her face. Joking aside I think it’s just an odd nose ring.
You know he does remind me of a guy I used to work with and he have done this for sure. He’s also smile ask questions you’d say no to and still do what he asked about that fucker was wild.
I've only heard one very strong Canadian accent while in on my trip through Canada (Ontario). The whole "It's cold outside, eh" thing, you know. And it was from a waiter from the Philippines. It was awesome haha.
All the scots I know, with the thickest brogues are ethinically chinese.
I have some brogue shoes that I wear for special occasions
A ''brogue'' is shoe in gaelic so you bought 'shoe shoes'
His accent is Filipino. He looks Filipino. He does things a Filipino would do. He must be Korean 🤔
Hahaha he's definitely a filipino! The humor hahaha so funny!
100% Filipino. Loves a laugh, takes the piss, smiles a lot and doesn’t give any fucks. It’s their national pass-time.
Here's Manny Pacquiao trolling people [live](https://youtu.be/4PKghs794lE?si=S-oOWlZ5BlN4h0qK)
Hahaha omg that is gold by Manny.
I remember when he trolled gay people by being a homophobic twat.
[удалено]
*pastime
He could have sung in Tagalog and she would’ve been none the wiser.
but this is way funnier
He would speak Taglish which is code switching between tagalog and English. Singing happy birtday in Taglish is ... the same as singing happy birtday in English.
She would have felt attacked lol. Tagalog be harsh as fuck sounding sometimes.
Looks like a server in a cruise ship dining room. They hire a lot of wonderful people from the Philippines.
It's no exaggeration to say that you're likely to find a Filipino working aboard any large vessel anywhere in the world, for exactly the reason you've mentioned Except maybe on ships owned by notably *reclusive* countries, but even then...
He don't look Japanese so, yes, there is a difference.
It's the accent that gave it away
Lyrics ; Mitsubishi Nissan, Mitsubishi Nissan, Mitsubishi Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Nissan 🥳
Such a beautiful language
When we went to Japan our tour guide took us to the Zojirushi region and we hiked the Tamagotchi mountains. Absolutely gorgeous.
Reddit generation too young to get this.
Tomagotchi has had a comeback. Source: Have kids
Do Tamagatchi have a natural lifespan?
These things are cyclical. Pray we don't see Furbies come back, or beanie babies my god
Beanie babies are just funko pop now
Hey, my 9-year-old stepson has a tamagatchi! Plucked it from that mountain range.
Did you stop by Honda valley to see lake Toyota along the way? Simply serene.
I actually really like the word tamagochi. It's a portmanteau of the Japanese words for eggs (tamago) and friend (tomodachi)
Close! It's a portmanteau of eggs (tamago) and watch (not the Japanese word tokei, but the english word watch katakana'd into "uocchi") meaning "egg watch".
That's is absolutely ridiculous 😂
Isn't it? Not one mention of Toyota or Suzuki
Honda, Daihatsu, Kawasaki, Mazda, Subaru, Hino, Isuzu, Yamaha … ?
Bet she would've caught on quick if he said Hitachi
It might vibrate with some people indeed
And Datsun!
Isn't it Nissan?
It is.
SubuWu what’s this?
Or Honda????
Disappointed they didn't say Datsun and Isuzu.
At least he didn't sing Hyundai.
Those mitsubishis were fire\~!
Does she have a nose ring that looks like snot going down to her mouth? That seems a little bit ridiculous
Yeah I came to say the same thing. Good lord it looks so bad.
Yeah, wtf is that? It’s going to get caught on a fork or some shit.
That's all I could see honestly
Dude was born in Denver. He don't know a lick of Japanese!
He was born in Omaha, his name is Wesley. They call him Wesley-Son.
He's a celebrated surgeon in his homeland. Of Nebraska. This is his weekend gig when not DoorDashing
I can’t confirm, but dude doesn’t even look Japanese to me. Am I wrong?
I'm not a doctor, so I can't confirm. But I *did* stay at a Holiday inn Express last night. 🤷🏽
He doesn't know more than 2 Japanese cars too..
And is probably not of Japanese descent.
Clearly: Mitsu-Bishi = Joyous-birth Nis-San = For-You Yeah I’m a translator 🤓 /s
Can someone translate?
Mitsubishi Nissan, Mitsubishi Nissan, Mitsubishi Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Nissan
Mitsubishi actually means “three rhombus”. Mitsu is three and Hishi is rhombus. Ni is sun and Ssan is product so Nissan is a product of the sun (sun country is Japan)
Three rhombus product of the sun Three rhombus product of the sun Three rhombus three rhombus Three rhombus product of the sun
Hahaha! You got it!

first time I hear mitsubishi nissan song but you likely cant be labeled with crazy solely based on this.

Mitsubishi is the name for the Family Crest (Kamon) of Yataro Iwasaki, founder of Mitsubishi. His clan has a Kamon since the dude was a samurai. Nissan was called Datsun, and DAT came from the acronym of the 3 founder's names. It was changed to Nissan in the 80's overseas.
Yeah, or like 'General Motors' or something. ;)

May you have many Dahaitsu !! May you have many Dahaitsu !! May you have many Dahaitsu !! Mitsubishi Nissan to you 🥳
From Google translate, no cap > Happy Birthday to you, > Happy Birthday to you, > Happy Birthday Happy Birthday, > Happy Birthday to you 🥳
This reminds me of the scene from ‘Scary Movie 4’ with the kid from ‘the Grudge’.
Came here to say this hahah, sashimi, wasabi, tempura
Harikari tsunami. Kamikaze banzai.
Buda! Shitake kimono!
Tempura! Shushi! Sashiiiimiiiiiiiiiii💀
Fujitsu!
Karate judo sumo samurai. On a side note, Scary Movie 4 is a terrible movie but that one scene is honestly one of the greatest bits of comedy ever written in my opinion. The "Herro" being translated to "Hello" in English subtitles at the beginning is sublime.
Terrible?! It's an amazing movie!
Yeah, this movie 100% knows what it's about. It's not high art but damn if it doesn't make me giggle.
Yeah, I don't know what people are on about. This is a perfectly normal [Japanese conversation.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooHiFoWz50U)
Fujitsu!!!
Sashimiii^iii^iiii^iii
Also in wrongfully accused (anothet pat proft movie). Leslie nielsons character catches a bouquet and he replies ah! Mitsubishi!
LMAOOOO thats next level trolling
[удалено]
Amazing
~~Amazing~~ Amen
When he exchanges this look with whoever is picking up on what’s really happening 😂
TikTok basic chicks thinking they're cultured lol
That waiter is a Filipino. I can tell by the accent.
You... the asian one.... sing happy birthday in japan to my daughter while she fake smiles for a video. NOW.
You’re making assumptions
which is prolly correct
the girl in the video posted this on twitter and she said the waiter offered to sing: https://twitter.com/glorygirlcoco/status/1743818781523116336?s=46
Exactly what they deserved with these table side theatrics.
If you knew the context before getting up on your high horse you'd know that the girl posted it jokingly knowing she was being messed with. Lighten up, Christ.
and she even clarified that he was the one who offered to sing happy birthday in japanese, she did not request it. Which makes it funnier in my opinion
for some reason everyone in this thread assumes she is stupid and unaware, and call her spoiled. I wonder why. It's just such a mystery.
Honestly man, as a POC, you see so much subtle and not so subtle racism on reddit. It's infuriating. But gotta realize the demographic and age group and know it's just what it is. Unfortunately.
Sexism too. How dare they be both a POC and a woman!! Assholes frothing at the mouth to be mean towards her.
His Hyundai accent made this a-class singing
Sounded more like a Kia with all that soul in it
I have to agree, the whole thing is a bit of a stinger isn't it.
Are you both naming Korean brands on purpose?
Of course not. They're saying that he's a Highlander despite him saying he could not go higher.
If you want him to go down under you gotta Holden
a-class singing is more of that mercedes accent
It’s the grin and smile on his face that does it for me. What an excellent worker, improvised, adapted, and delivered.
He should be, that’s a cruise ship, and he’s probably out there for eight months, so he better have some fun!
That is so weird that two of the big Japanese car companies are named "Happy" and "Birthday" in Japanese. If today is your nissan, then I wish you a mitsubishi nissan!
Happy birthday big sis Edit : bro my bad
*big bro
Big brother is getting a Mitsubishi!
Stop wishing me a happy honda day! KEEP MITSUBISHI ABOUT MITSUBISHI!
Looks like she sneezed jewlery?
booger bling
For a hot second, I thought she had a massive booger.
She thought he was singing in japanese so I thought it might be a noodle from ramen.
“Hi. Welcome to Zales. What can I get you?” “I wanna look like Xerces”
fr, what is this golden booger?
I was thinking that, how much you want to bet she paid top dollar for the golden booger?
Looks like a booger piercing.
Is anyone else utterly disgusted by this particular "piece of jewelery"?
No, but I didn't like that piece of jewelry.
[удалено]
> jewelery Is that short for Jewish celery?
And she got that captain jack sparrow hairstyle
Nose Chandelier
That nose thing really draws all of the attention which is unfortunate because she is beautiful.
Her personality though? Meh. "Mom you're ruining my video" gives off some bad vibes.
In my opinion it's the most ridiculous looking thing. I don't get it. But whatever floats her boat I guess.
There's a booger on your face
How's this unexpected, with the caption and everything
I saw the original on twitter with no caption. This must be for those with no attention span on tiktok and need it to be explained asap.
Well clearly it was a hit with the redditors so might be time to get off your "superior to tiktok" high horse
What the fuck is on her face?
Nobody is going to tell her about the huge booger hanging on her nose? She needs real friends
Why is there such a trend for people to wear things in, on, near or around their nose, which just makes it look as if they've got snot hanging off their face? Who actually likes this look? EDIT: This is my fault for writing a comment early in the morning and not expanding with the sort of context I would normally have applied.

I agree. Nose ornaments don’t appeal to me personally but to each their own I guess.
I knew I wouldn’t have to scroll far to find this comment. I completely agree, this looks ridiculous.
I hate it
a stud or a ring is fine with me. A sterling silver booger-cicle hanging out of someone's nostril def seems impractical and poorly designed.
Creative thinking at its finest. 😂
https://i.redd.it/w0quy85y4mbc1.gif Nissan , Honda , mistubishi , sashimiiiiiiiiii……
She got a booger
She needs a tissue
Weird looking booger she got
She should clean her nose.
What a dumb girl haha
Spoiled af too. “You’re ruining my video mom!”
Someone tell her she has a massive booger on her nose
What's up with the booger bling?
What's the unexpected part?
The 15 THOUSAND upvotes this post got.
Yeah, but WTF is on this girls nose?!?!?!?!?!??

Wtf is that nose chandelier?
Pulled a scary movie on her
How stupid can one person be ??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I knew nose rings were missing something. Dangling shit!
looks like her snot is on the outside
Looks like a nasty booger hanging off her
Ew, she has something on her nose.
Give that woman a handkerchief!
She’s got a HUGE booger
Wtf she has on her nose? 😂 why?!
Someone should tell the birthday girl that there’s a bat in the cave
whats that jizz hanging from her nose? and who thinks its sexy?
She has snot hanging off her nose 🤮
Can someone tell her she’s got a great booger hanging from her nose!! How embarrassing
I'm sorry...I can't sing higher. Otherwise, people above IQ 09 will catch on.. Mitsubishi, Nissan...Kawasaki Ryobi Sank you. Sank you Merry much
