This episode was partially inspired by "The Cove" and the show "Whale Wars" which Trey and Matt had to watch before doing the episode. When they did, they saw how awful of a show it was when it came to stretching and building things and just thought "Wow, this is a show of nothing happening and them trying to make an hour of TV out of it".
That final punchline kills me every time.... This is my top SP because the ridiculous lengths they take the premise to makes that punchline hit that much harder, it's perfect. Also, Cartman singing poker face is heaven in my ears. Lmao
Interesting fact. If they had used Poker Face, they would’ve had to pay quite a bit of money. So Matt and Trey just asked GaGa if they could use the song for free and she said yes.
I always just thought they'd parodied the song just enough that they would barely avoid copyright legal issues, not that they actually asked her permission lol.
If you want to watch another Japanese themed episode (also co-themed with the Chinese), you have to give "City Sushi" a try. It's also a Butters episode as well!
I just subscribed and I was just going to say that haha One if not the most funny episode for me. Top 3 easy. Would be hilarious to see Dash's reaction with the twist(s)! hahaha Just thinking about that episode always makes me laugh.
I found it hilarious that you mentioned how different Stan looks without his hat on! I work for a major ski resort in CO overnight. All of my coworkers usually dress in layers, and when I get to see them in public without our usual gear on, it completely catches me off guard. I usually don’t recognize some of my coworkers at first in street clothes.
Aside from the twist and Cartman’s snickering, I appreciate how their description of the horrors of Hiroshima’s fallout is played almost completely straight and treated with the seriousness and respect it deserves.
It's funny how japanese like to make themselves look like as if they are oppressed while in fact they slaughtered millions in the whole east asia and south east asia
Man I love that you are churning out the full south park episode reactions. Keep em coming, you make them so enjoyable! Watching this one, already exited for the next one! Love from Switzerland
Another great reaction! I'm not sure about other Japanese-themed episodes of South Park, but the double feature episodes in King of the Hill when they visit Japan is absolutely hilarious, full of cultural misunderstandings. They're called Returning Japanese I believe. Can't recommend them highly enough. Keep up the good work Dash :)
That sudden Larry King is still my favorite part of this episode, it's spot on and hilarious 7:34 And yeah, whale hunting is only "wrong" because we can't factory farm whales.
For the first time in over 15 years I actually learned something from a youtube video... The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the US... but not the word.
The ending was by far the best part with the twist realization that nothing they have ever done to whales or dolphins is any better or worse then what we do to cows and chickens
Well one is eaten and the other is wasted and if they do eat it, they are likely to get mercury poisoning. The key thing is to not let the animal suffer or be killed for unnecessary reasons, like for fur or oil. Meanwhile in farms they use everything to try make the most money. The factory farms are the problem with chickens, cows and pigs. Those are very inhumane and horrific. There are only a few native groups that need to eat whale meat and use their blubber to survive but most of that is up north, so outside that whaling is rather immoral. But yeah we need to treat both farm animals and whales better. Sorry if I went on a bit of a rant there, the wildlife biologist in me just really enjoys talking about animals.
The key difference is that we breed cows and chickens specifically for eating, whaling has already driven some species of whale to extinction and has endangered others.
@etsap1236 Not true at all dude. Dolphins and whales are eaten in plenty of countries, not just Japan. Japanese fishing vessels typically obtain whales and dolphins under “scientific pretenses,” but kill them and harvest their meat so it “doesn’t go to waste.” Plenty of Scandinavian countries still eat shark, whale, dolphin, etc. The Faroe Islanders still hunt whales and dolphins. There’s nothing wrong with eating that meat as long as it’s being obtained sustainably, which is arguable in the case of Japan, but absolutely the case with the Faroe Islands.
It took me a few of your videos but I really have gotten into you watching South Park jamming out to Carmen singing was hilarious really loved it so I became a subscriber thank you
Been really enjoying those reactions As a huge south park fan, I would like to recomend a few episodes too S6E13 - The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers - If you are a Lord of the rings fan S7E09 - Christian Rock Hard - One of my personal favs S7E14 - Raisins - Pretty cool Butters episode S9E05 - The losing edge - The Randy part is really funny IMO S16E08 - Sarcastaball - Another Butters episode S17E07/08/09 - Black Friday - Game of Thrones/Console wars related trilogy
Dash, I love your videos. Your reactions are so genuine and hilarious. You need to watch the South Park episodes Sarcastaball, Fourth Grade, Towlie, Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society, The Passion of the Jew, Ginger Kids, The Snuke, Fatbeards, and definitely Imaginationland.
Trey Parker is married to a japanese woman(lucky bastard) and is a beginner/intermediate in japanese so there being some japanese in South Park isn't so strange
7:00 He says "tofu taberuna(豆腐食べるな)", which means "don't eat tofu". This line seems to be based on the fact that tofu is eaten as a healthy food in foreign countries, but as you say, I don't think that makes sense. Anyway I love funny Japanese words in South Park.
2:34-2:40 The fact that the football announcer just witnessed a massacre of a bunch of football players and just passes it off as all part of the game, makes it more comical.
"We were talking about Wales the country" Bahaha I didn't get that when I was younger, but I do now after getting more int geography. lol Insert dead skull here.
Hey Dash! I have discovered your channel recently and always found your commentary as wise and insightful as it is wise!! I used to be a huge South Park Buff in highschool and I'm catching up thanks to your reactions!

Actually around 7 minutes the guy who said “ TABERUNAA” is someone who does not speak Japanese, or got confused…the right word is なめるな！( Nameruna ) that basically means “ don’t f… with us “ here in Japan!!! Hello from 神戸日本🇯🇵！ Over and out !!!!
The first time I heard “Poker Face,” I was in a Forever 21 store with my now wife. We both thought at first that she was singing “Butter Face.” But I now sit corrected
- Sorry sir, but this is Smerika. - Yes, it was America that dropped the bomb, but a killer whale and a dolphin were at the helm. Japan's worst enemies :)
yo man i enjoy the Japanese translations u do. awesome. im always interested in Japanese language and culture. i too wish to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki in my lifetime. Respect.
Ummm, failing to recall what happened to the Miami Dolphins, when Stan gave the new photoshopped evidence to the Japanese he failed to consider his hometowns school sports teams were called the South Park COWS. 😆
Some cool episodes, don't know if you have already watched them or not, but they are wonderful "Something you can do with your finger" "Cartman sucks" "Breast cancer show ever" "You are getting old (2 episodes)" "The poor kid" (probably my fav episode) "Raisins" (butters MVP) "Kenny dies" "A ladder to heaven" Most of these episodes have those kinda moments that are wholesome, heartbreaking... While mantaining the fun shit every episode has, due the fact that SP overall has multiple plots happening at the same time, allowing to have the fun part and the serious part

This episode was insane
That's dark video of the wild animals that just mean
Just replace the Japanese with trans activists and dolphins with christians and you have real life now.
@@theprime6489i think you it backwards
Considering what the Japanese did to the Miami Dolphins, did it not occur to the boys their school team is named the Cows? 🤣
It'll be just Nother school day for them
Cartman's version of Poker Face is better than the original
His “Heat of the Moment” is even better
Until you realize lady gaga said po po po poker face po po fuck her face and then it bugs you
Slaughters that performance. Top tier
@@ihatethiswholedamplanet it also appeared in Rock Band as part of a DLC pack
Facts
Lol I love how everybody's sending you the Japanese-related episodes.
i vote city sushi next
@@fifi8690 lol yes
I love how many there are and I never realized lmao
If he hasn't watched them already, how about the Black Friday trilogy?
That final punchline kills me every time.... This is my top SP because the ridiculous lengths they take the premise to makes that punchline hit that much harder, it's perfect.
Also, Cartman singing poker face is heaven in my ears. Lmao
they said:"now the japanese are normal people like us"
but what they really mean was: "we are no different than the japanese"
Cartman's poker face is till day my favorite cover of Poker face. It's just beautiful
Interesting fact. If they had used Poker Face, they would’ve had to pay quite a bit of money. So Matt and Trey just asked GaGa if they could use the song for free and she said yes.
I never hear this! That's a pretty freakin' cool story.
Where did you read this? Tried googling it, found 0 results.
I always just thought they'd parodied the song just enough that they would barely avoid copyright legal issues, not that they actually asked her permission lol.
@@ChaosPrototypeIX Don't ask questions. Just assume every claim you read on the internet as fact.
@@Jimmy-bz3cw Yeah it's a parody, but the music industry is largely exempt from having to grant fair use.
The fact they're wearing feudal japanese clothing makes it even funnier.
If you want to watch another Japanese themed episode (also co-themed with the Chinese), you have to give "City Sushi" a try. It's also a Butters episode as well!
This is a perfect episode.
Season 15 Episode 6.
I read that " city sushi" in that Chinese character voice 🤣
Yes! 💯
I watched it some days ago, poor Indiana xd
edit. noonono, I misunderstood xD you mean another Butters episode
I just subscribed and I was just going to say that haha
One if not the most funny episode for me. Top 3 easy.
Would be hilarious to see Dash's reaction with the twist(s)! hahaha
Just thinking about that episode always makes me laugh.
I had forgotten about Cartman laughing at the horrendous effects of the bombing, your reaction to him laughing was priceless hahaha
6:24 the way cartman sings poker face is unironically one of the most satisfying things my ear ever heard
I found it hilarious that you mentioned how different Stan looks without his hat on!
I work for a major ski resort in CO overnight. All of my coworkers usually dress in layers, and when I get to see them in public without our usual gear on, it completely catches me off guard.
I usually don’t recognize some of my coworkers at first in street clothes.
Cartman has a photography hobby, and he's actually really good at it. Why I laugh when he ask to keep it in two shot.
Aside from the twist and Cartman’s snickering, I appreciate how their description of the horrors of Hiroshima’s fallout is played almost completely straight and treated with the seriousness and respect it deserves.
It's funny how japanese like to make themselves look like as if they are oppressed while in fact they slaughtered millions in the whole east asia and south east asia
Eric singing poker face is my ringtone
Man I love that you are churning out the full south park episode reactions. Keep em coming, you make them so enjoyable!
Watching this one, already exited for the next one!
Love from Switzerland
The Miami Dolphins bit was one of the biggest laughs I got from any adult cartoon, lol.
South Park football team is "Cows" btw, rest in peace 😂
@@SindamscI thought about some real "bulls" team at the end but that's definitely a funny callback for a later episode
When the Kamikaze's showed up I freaking lost it. 😂
Another great reaction! I'm not sure about other Japanese-themed episodes of South Park, but the double feature episodes in King of the Hill when they visit Japan is absolutely hilarious, full of cultural misunderstandings. They're called Returning Japanese I believe. Can't recommend them highly enough. Keep up the good work Dash :)
That was cold how Cartman was laughing at the museum ‘I just don’t care”
The weird part about this episode (to me) is how little involvement Kyle has in it, considering that he's Stan's best friend.
Love it! Also love Cartman's singing Poker Face! Keep it up 👍😂
Your knowledge of Japanese culture is quite impressive
I'm no Japanese cultural expert or anything. But I guess I've picked up some customs and things from living here.
Mark my words; you're on the road to a million subs.
These are quality reacts.
Whoa! That would completely shatter my expectations! But I'd be INSANELY happy if that happened!
@@dash.reacts You got the positive energy, wits and relatability to do it. Just keep at and keep uping your game.
I don’t know why, but I just love that Cartman stops Stan and saves the three of them right there.
Ik. It's such a Kyle reaction thing to do. But it's so funny too.
Another classic is raisins!!
Great lessons and another well written episode.
I mean Stan making Jimmy go and talk to Wendy...
Gets me every time lol
Love your reactions. Thanks for going through all the trouble to get them uploaded!
I love when everyone insists this song is called rat in a cage. Its bullet with butterfly wings by the smashing pumpkins😂
That sudden Larry King is still my favorite part of this episode, it's spot on and hilarious 7:34
And yeah, whale hunting is only "wrong" because we can't factory farm whales.
"No, no, no... I got stuff to do," is one of the best lines from the entire series.
For the first time in over 15 years I actually learned something from a youtube video... The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the US... but not the word.
im a Venezuelan currently living in china I had meet many Japanese people here haha your reactions are awesome bro keep going forward men.
I love you have the references you pick up and the fact that you know a bit of Japanese
The ending was by far the best part with the twist realization that nothing they have ever done to whales or dolphins is any better or worse then what we do to cows and chickens

Sorry if I went on a bit of a rant there, the wildlife biologist in me just really enjoys talking about animals.
@etsap1236 lol go watch a documentary on factory farming and get off your high horse. We're even more wasteful we just fo it an industrial level
The key difference is that we breed cows and chickens specifically for eating, whaling has already driven some species of whale to extinction and has endangered others.
@@irisheartt so much virtue

Been really enjoying those reactions
As a huge south park fan, I would like to recomend a few episodes too
S6E13 - The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers - If you are a Lord of the rings fan
S7E09 - Christian Rock Hard - One of my personal favs
S7E14 - Raisins - Pretty cool Butters episode
S9E05 - The losing edge - The Randy part is really funny IMO
S16E08 - Sarcastaball - Another Butters episode
S17E07/08/09 - Black Friday - Game of Thrones/Console wars related trilogy
The Godzilla skit was the best. Laughed at that one.
I appreciate your "I think...." disclaimer there with the ship naming explanation. Lol
Dash, I love your videos. Your reactions are so genuine and hilarious. You need to watch the South Park episodes Sarcastaball, Fourth Grade, Towlie, Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society, The Passion of the Jew, Ginger Kids, The Snuke, Fatbeards, and definitely Imaginationland.
Thanks, Aaron! I truly appreciate it! That's a solid list of recommendations.
I'm all over those!
This has to be one of the smartest reactors
Trey Parker is married to a japanese woman(lucky bastard) and is a beginner/intermediate in japanese so there being some japanese in South Park isn't so strange

I am impressed with your japanese knowledge, I'd love to learn more
Ya think Stan looks different with his hat off wait til you see Kyle 😂👌
why is Cartman's version of Poker Face so much better than the original?
I've gotta agree. He killed it!
Love your honest reactions and good sense of humor on SP) Greetings from Ukraine)
"Don't belooooong here, by eyes are ROUND" lmao
9:36 WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY 😂😂😂😂😂
2:34-2:40 The fact that the football announcer just witnessed a massacre of a bunch of football players and just passes it off as all part of the game, makes it more comical.
“great job son，now the Japanese are normal like us”
"We were talking about Wales the country" Bahaha I didn't get that when I was younger, but I do now after getting more int geography. lol Insert dead skull here.
"And now, Larry King... Live" might be my favorite joke in this episode.
My favorite part of the episode was YOU. Love your channel
Everyone talking about how funny this episode is but I just wanna give Stan a hug after his birthday is ruined 😢
Can someone please tell me why the Emperors names end with "hito"? (Mutsohito,Yoshihito, Hirohito, Akihito, Naruhito)
7:32 That's basically regular Japanese too
‘Fark Yew Dolphrin!!’
Its pretty funny how speechless you are when they show Stan's picture with the dauphin.
Now we know why there is no dolphin Pokemon.
That part of you being at the memorial was cool
New subscriber, was waiting for you to watch this, ass burgers (Aspergers), and the wrestling one (W.T.F.) 🤣
I still remember in high school my buddies Brian who is Japanese and Phillip who is Korean we all just laughed hard at this.
The georgia aquarium is 3rd largest now, the largest being in China and 2nd in Singapore
For me, the funniest point is when the Japanese slaughter the Miani dolphins.
So good
also is it sad that Cartman sings poker face than the original singer?? lol
The ending is brilliant! 🤣
Hey Dash, great reaction as usual i just wondered if you got a video uploaded from your Hiroshima trip?
This just in (and I really mean it): a whale took out a boat close to New Zealand. Five people died. It was an accident, though.
This episode almost cracks me up as much as the City Wok guy building a wall and the Mongolians attacking it… it’s a close second
Meanwhile, in Wales, UK:
☠️🩸🩸🩸
Japanese: FACK YOU, WHALES!!!!
It’s hilarious that Rock Band has the Cartman version of Poker Face, hardest song to sing if you try to do an impression of him.
The possibilities are endless lol
There are so many good episodes
Hey Dash! I have discovered your channel recently and always found your commentary as wise and insightful as it is wise!! I used to be a huge South Park Buff in highschool and I'm catching up thanks to your reactions!

Been waiting for this one of My favorites
Yo just recently subbed, love the channel!
I've never forgotten this episode.
The Japanese Accent Trey Parker does is always Great and the Chinese ones too, THe whaler captain getting Speared was Funny
In 7:28, he actually said "kuso, taberu na" meaning "eat shit" lol
First time I saw the "chicken and cow" scene I laughed till it hurt.
The "fock you WHALE" got me dead fr
7:03 It sounds like he said "don't eat!" (食べるなぁ！）
The first time I heard “Poker Face,” I was in a Forever 21 store with my now wife. We both thought at first that she was singing “Butter Face.” But I now sit corrected
Bro wth lol didn’t expect you to know some Japanese 🔥🔥
- Sorry sir, but this is Smerika.
- Yes, it was America that dropped the bomb, but a killer whale and a dolphin were at the helm. Japan's worst enemies :)
It's nice to see Paul Watson get what he deserves, even in jest.
Comin in clutch again with the translation
Flash!!!!! 🤜 🤛
The usual topic of what to pet and what to eat. Never gets old :D
I have been waiting for your reaction to this one ever since you have seen the clips for it in the try not to laugh/character best videos.
Hey Dash, do you have any videos or another channel of your life in Japan? I'd love to see more! Thanks!
yo man i enjoy the Japanese translations u do. awesome. im always interested in Japanese language and culture.
i too wish to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki in my lifetime. Respect.
13:30 I like the whale´s hat... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ummm, failing to recall what happened to the Miami Dolphins, when Stan gave the new photoshopped evidence to the Japanese he failed to consider his hometowns school sports teams were called the South Park COWS. 😆
Did no one else spot Dash's slick dance moves?!
Completely off topic, but it felt so strange seeing your head from a different perspective after all of these videos 😂
🤣 🤣 this really made me laugh 🤣 🤣
This episode was a commentary on the documentary The Cove
Even watching you watch it kills me on how great the show stands up 20 years later
Some cool episodes, don't know if you have already watched them or not, but they are wonderful
"Something you can do with your finger"
"Cartman sucks"
"Breast cancer show ever"
"You are getting old (2 episodes)"
"The poor kid" (probably my fav episode)
"Raisins" (butters MVP)
"Kenny dies"
"A ladder to heaven"
Most of these episodes have those kinda moments that are wholesome, heartbreaking... While mantaining the fun shit every episode has, due the fact that SP overall has multiple plots happening at the same time, allowing to have the fun part and the serious part
One problem: every South Park school sports team is called "the Cows." We saw what the Japanese did to the Miami Dolphins football team.
