Travis Smithson is a DAMN FINE COWBOY and I won't hear NOBODY tarnish his good God-fearin' American name!

Sure, Japanese writers smash a bunch of English-sounding syllables together and it's funny but when I make up Chinese names by throwing pots and pans down the stairs suddenly I'm the racist.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Well, it's the fact that you did that then reported it on the news is what people took exception to.

Do you have any non-dairy creamer?

I'll use my credit card!

Howdy fellas, my name is Kenichi Smith.

I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty)

I train with my revolver every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak English fluently, both the American and the British accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100%

When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Nickelodeon or a game designer!

I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in America!

If'n that boy wants to play a lil Possum in the Graveyard, I ain't see no harm, am I right fellas? 🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Possum in the Graveyard… is that one where we stuck a possum in Ricky’s dishwasher & fed it nothing but circus peanuts til Ricky got back from jail?

That damn thing cut him up so bad 🤣 I’m a little sorry he lost an eye, but that was funny as hell.

still strange to see "welp" has integrated into communication in this way.

Well is a word (a place to get water, and how you can be described while getting it)

Whelp is a word (the act of birthing adorable canines)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"welp" isn't related to whelping. It's a way to write the word "well" when it's used as an interjection (meaning it has no definition). The word is often pronounced with a terminal -p and people started writing the letter in text.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

$ well -p

bash: well: command not found

I honestly don't know what I'm doing with my life, but saw terminal and... welp...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Linux users looking at IRL languages trying to figure out why the bash script isn't working lol

Comprehensive collection of American baseball player names as imagined/made up by Japanese developers of Fighting Baseball in 1995 due to their lack of licensing rights. Never gets old.

The gift that keeps on giving 😂

I about died when I saw the Simpsons reference this in their Death Note parody. Deep cut!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

TIL The Simpsons did a Death Note parody. Just watched the whole thing -- it's exactly as good as it sounds like it is

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Having the same studio that animated the original Death Note do the parody really elevated it! Also be sure to watch the Westworld parody they did in the same episode.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the Westworld parody in season 5 ("The Boy Who Knew Too Much")? Also season 6 with Itchy and Scratchy Land.

Something about the simple elegance of "Todd Bonzalez" gets me every time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey it's me, Jeromy Gride. I'm dying.

The Simpsons eating at a restaurant called America Town in Tokyo:

Waiter: Howdy, gangstas. I am average American Joe salary-man waiter. Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I am product of American education system! I also build poor-quality cars and inferior-style electronics.

Homer: Hahahaha he’s really got our number!
