Actually, all these pics are from Engrish.com. I do plan to travel to Asia within the next 2-3 years and spot some Engrish on the way.

funniest engrish ever...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JNOJ6SaC_fo&sea...i%20no%20tsukai

premise: this is a clip from a Japanese sketch comedy show called "gaki no tsukai ya arahende!". one of the crazy things they do on the show is play "punishment games" for the losers of a bet or a game on the show.

this episode is from a punishment game called "can't laugh high school." the comedians who lost the bet or game have to live at the "can't laugh high school" for a whole 24 hour period. during the 24 hours, various comedians play the role of teacher and try to get them to laugh. if they do laugh, gangsters from a rival high school smack them in the butt with bamboo kendo sticks. the video clip is the "English lesson video" segment of the can't laugh high school episode.

the small clip on the top right corner is of the comedians back at the studio with a studio audience watching themselves go through the 24 hour punishment.

i can post a translated script later if you guys want it.

edit: the guy on the English lesson video is Jimmy Onishi, a former comedian turned artist who is famous in Japan for having several screws loose in his head. he rarely is seen on TV anymore because he retired from being a comic.

FYI: the coffee is read as "Deep Presso", as in a mix between pressing strongly, and expresso.

Here's the actual product info page: http://www.georgia.jp/product/deep/index.html

Here's a product line-up from the company (scroll down to find the Deep Presso.) Note the main company (Coca-co...): http://www.cocacola.co.jp/products/lineup/georgia/

The last one (yellow shirt with sharks) is for babies...
