    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.

To me, his only funny skits were the Matt Foley motivational speaker skit and the Chip N Dale dancer skit. That was pretty much it. He only had 1 successful movie which was Tommy Boy. He went way downhill after that

And as someone, who isn't completely fluent, it was nice to see, that others couldn't understand everything, too :) So... I don't know, why you would throw around weird theories about knowing stuff, you clearly don't know yourself.. why the fuck would anyone think, that Japanese are "super cool"?! The Japanese society is one of the most suppressed in the world! That's why Draco Malvoy or Jordan Schlansky are so loved there... because they are not overly polite all the time. But please, tell me when things changed and kids ANYWHERE started to look up to the excessively polite person, who has no opinion him-/herself and just smiles and nods. And good to have an expert: what the fuck does this woman say at 0:54?! Right... you said Myers&Baldwin used real words... but why did you narrow it down like this? RAY didn't say anywhere, that those two were hard to understand... "you are an idiot".. someone needs attention, I guess... how else would you make money online? Talking about pathetic 😂
