"This is definitely supposed to be a drink", Ian said, holding a packet of powdered Mayo.
So does that mean it's an insturment?
@@Whatahorriblenighttohaveacurse aren't you supposed to be 13 to have a youtube account?
@@jonathanwilliams2320 Funny enough, that episode came out 18 years ago. So your logic is rather flawed there.
Mello Dimensions you say that like kids don't make that joke still
@@walkingonneedles True, the joke itself is 18 years old now which is adulthood, so I was being contradicting.
The way the text appears and changes and morphs feels exactly like the way reading words in a dream feels
You described a sensation Ive never experienced perfectly, somehow
Brilliant simile 👍🏻
You hit it on the nose!
Yeah, reading in a dream always feels like you're digging in the sand for shells that just keep washing away
I can read in dreams. Wasn't aware others had trouble doing that.
@@carlrygwelski586 damn you should be an author or something
- Have fun with your father
- Get some answers
- Retribution
Oh, cool, we're gonna make a Fire Emblem game.
Genius comment that I just now found
The robotic mechanical noises you gave MJ when she lifted her paw were amazing
I laughed my dick off
@@Rachel-jg7sv Laughed my clit off.
I just laughed like a normal person.
get it together you guys.
@@GippyHappy Laughing my clit off is normal.
@@GippyHappy nobody is normal
I'm surprised how much retribution is involved in making powder-based takoyaki.
Don’t forget departments.
Or gingers.
i just love how ian knows three words to describe food:
•sweet
•savory
•MEAT
And juicy
Mushy smushy
He doesn't know the food words.
The word he was searching for was "umami"
Don't forget bad.
1. Have fun with your father
2. Get some answers
3. Have retribution
Sounds delicious.
I'm pretty sure that's the plot of the second Guardians Of The Galaxy movie
F I N I S H T H A T G I N G E R
T Money make sure you finish it, Ginger
Actually, while Kevin M might be right - I haven't seen GotG 2 yet - that's the basic concept of Shenmue, isn't it?
Patrick Phelan Do you really even have fun with your father in Shenmue though?
Tip for whenever you use the image translate feature again: Take a picture of the text, then choose the image scan option. Live scanning basically has the algorithm constantly arguing with itself and is hardly ever accurate.
also highlight one sentence at a time. Because other languages some characters/words change in meaning with the other words .
3:26
"We got a water and we got a Coke maybe?"
Ian, please explain water powder to me
its powder that just makes more water
snow?
Thick water
Tonic powder
What never had dehydrated water?
“Looks like we have a coke and a water maybe.”
Ian you know water wouldn’t come in a powder
New instant water, just add water
There's thick water u know ?
I get it. Hehehehehe, that's a good one.
Don't encourage the scientists.
coke does
The way the text shows up looks like your phone is cursed or something
S E E O U R D I S A B I L I T I E S A K I R A
Honestly I thought it was just a goofy edit at first
RETRIBUTION
It was pretty jarring
The computational sound effects really make it, this series makes such excellent use of music and sound
I think those instructions via google translate are trying to give you an ancient prophecy
Ian must seek his father and get answers for his retribution
@@horesfan400 and he must finish the ginger who attacked him and give him retribution.
Ian has done his part, now the only one who can finish that is ginger.
But the department! Forget not the department, you fools!
Is it racist to assume everything written in whatever this language is is it a ancient prophecy?
Probably more racist to ask
In this episode: a black cat shows up and the matrix starts glitching
Huh, deja vu.
If its Schroedingers cat, his Takoyaki is both alive and dead.
So...does this mean Ian knows Kung-Fu?
(dons sunglasses)
...Whoa.
I think "be fabric" is a mis-translation of "be careful"
Be careful=be soft=be fabric
Knowing some Japanese makes this video even funnier. Google's flailing attempts to translate the simplest of words are almost as funny as Ian thinking the mayo was water.
I know right lol
Haha yes. Japanese translation to English is always so terrible. Very funny
Don't forget " strange shape ". It's sadly amazing how many people don't know what a trapezoid is
I mean. Can you really blame the tech. When the text is as stylized as it is
@@braedenmclean5304 That's a very fair point. I think this is less emblematic of poor software design and more of the inherent difficulties of trying to get a computer to process sensory input the way a human would.
The instant translate thing has worked really well for me as long as it's a Latin or Cyrillic alphabet. I feel like the Japanese is stylized to look cute so that's why it's bugging out.
The AI just needs better recognition of lines, otherwise Japanese is still pretty strict on how words should be formed. It shouldn't be that hard for a image-based translation no matter how stylized the Kanji/hiragana.
Even the cleanest Japanese or Chinese font is hard to translate with it
What’s up, Fred
That stylized first word could be a toss up for kurukuru or kurokuro. However since it a epizeuxis, spinning make much more sense than black black.
It's not the stylized kanji, it's because there's a basic difference between most latin languages and japanese. Japanese language is heavily context sensitive. Often, sentences don't have a subject, because it's obvious depending on the context it's said in. Meanwhile, latin languages need a subject. There's also other grammar "oddities" for us western folks.
And since AIs are so far incapable of picking up on context, the translation is purely based on western concepts of grammar, and then words are added to the internal databank of the AI.
Doesn't help that one kanji alone can say one word, but paired with another one, can mean something completely different.
Ok so all trolling aside...Takoyaki is actually really really delicious. It's like a savory doughnut ball with a tiny piece of Octopus (NOT Squid) in the middle. It's covered in a tangy mayo and sometimes some katsu-like sauce (brown, tangy sauce that is quite good). Often they dump a bit of benito (dried fish flakes) on top, and that can sometimes be a bit much for Westerners. It's pretty easy to pick off if it isn't your thing. They use a neat little pan to cook them that does resemble the tray. It takes some skill to keep rotating the balls to get them to cook evenly.
Sorry for geeking out about it, but it's actually a Japanese street food I really like and wish you could find in the US more easily.
I was in the Kyoto/Osaka-region with a group for a couple of months and we had a takoyaki party just before we left Japan. Seafood is kinda hit or miss for me and takoyaki has a bit of strange taste but it grew on me the more I ate it. Especially like the sauces and even the bonito flakes tasted pretty good.
Okonomiyaki is even more my jam though, that stuff is really tasty.
Takoyaki is amazing 💜 I wish I could find a pan to make it at home!
You just made it sound even more disgusting. Good job.
Had takoyaki before, hard disagree. Wasn’t good.
Whoever finds this description "bad" has never had real whole foods before and has the palette of a septic tank.
"Tastes like total crap"
5 stars.
* insert ign meme here *
i litterally fell off my chair laughing during this video more than once. Best thing i ever watched 10/10
My favorite Ian Editing Quirk is when he says something at one point in the video as a reaction and he uses the same exact clip reacting to a handful of other things as the video progresses (“that was a very helpful statement to make, Ian”). It never fails to make me laugh a bit every time
Every time MJ pawed at the container and Ian went "nonononono" and tried to get it back i laughed, MJ makes for an excellent co-host
I cry from laughter literally every single time I watch this video, no matter how tired or sad I am. I always find myself coming back to it
Hey! I'm a university student in Kyoto and this is exactly how Takoyaki is made in food markets!
I've been to a few little cute food stalls that serve takoyaki and it's always a lot of fun to watch the (usually elderly) restaurant owner make the squid balls because after so many years of doing it they've perfected the art of pouring powders and mixing with tiny amounts of water. One guy near my house actually so good at what he does that he doesnt even NEED the little fluid vessel, he can eyeball the amount of water he needs and pour it in freehand.
All in all this is a great showcase of a tasty Japanese snack and I appreciate you educating everyone on how it's made.
tanukihat Lol *claps*
I guarantee someone fell for this but still liked it.
tanukihat take is octopus takoyaki means grilled octopus squid is ika
i thought this was real until halfway through
This isn't real??
Tokoyaki obviously translates to "Your father's Octopus balls". Trust me, I watch anime without the subtitles.
Are you sure it isn't "Your Octopus Dad's balls"?
@@non-applicable3548 You're right! I think I remember seeing that in one of the OctoDad dlc's 🤔
"We're gonna have fun with my father and we're gonna get some answers"
Hahahah! Oh noooo
How about just octo B A L L S
How would you know I am the anime.
For the name "Brutal" Foods it is always very relaxing.
It's a juxtaposition! Or maybe oxymoron? Hyperbole? Where are the English majors?
Bc hes BRUTALLY relaxing
Relaxmoose just doesn't sound as cool.
a demon controlling a phone and a lot of stabbing people is relaxing?
Ian is relaxing, but I think the foods are usually pretty brutal.
Ian being unable to come up with the English word he's looking for is great, because the word doesn't exist in English. But it's more ironic, because the word he's looking for to describe a meaty and savory smell or taste is "umami", which is a Japanese word.
Just for reference:
The name at the front of the package くるくるたこやき means 'round round' takoyaki
The orange powder says 生地のもと which means dough power (kinda)
The blue (orange...yes) powder says マヨネーズ which is literally mayonaise.
The brown powder says ソースのもと which is sauce (basically takoyaki taste) powder
The red (brown...ok) powder says タコのもと which is octopus powder - i'm assuming its taste related.
Y'all should try em if you can get em
As a child I honestly loved them... weird stuff
MJ is a great co-host. Definitely looking forward to more MJ inclusive videos.
I agree !!
Me too!! *Chanting: MJ!MJ!MJ!MJ!
yes, here is hoping he works with more projects that smell like cat food.
Not me. Having filthy cats around food makes me want to puke
Ian: what do you think? Do you have any opinions?
MJ: 👁️👄👁️
👁👄👁
@@mj3k3 ASK JEEVES DUH O.G. GOOGLE-ESQUE SHIT
The editing is what makes this so good
👁👄👁

Petition for MJ to return in future brutalfoods?
The little taps of helpfulness fills my empty heart with joy
Thank you, MJ
I love her too. I hope she shows up again in more videos.

MJ Vs Azura, Who Will Win?
Every time you pull up the Google Translate, it's like you're am American detective brought to Japan in order to solve a tough case where the serial killer always leaves a batch of Takoyaki with coded messages that give clues to his identity. Only to culminate in the finale where the detective must make a batch of Takoyaki with the antidote to a deadly poinson, allowing him to give chase to the killer before he can escape the country.
"Takoyaki Tale," we'll call it....
Copyright, Martin Smith, Circa 2019
that actually sounds really good! i'd watch that
How about "takoyaki trail?"
i'd watch that
*poison
I’d watch
not sure why he didn’t just ask mj to translate the Japanese considering she is completely fluent
MJ taking the squid bowl is just the absolute best part of the video
...I will never get why a cat being a huge distraction is a good thing.
@@umbaupause The hell? The cat isn't taking away anything from the video, I don't understand what the big deal is.
@@tjthetj7890 ...See, starting off with 'what the hell' gives me a little hint that this reply might be a bit biased.
But yes, it does. Be outraged now.
@@umbaupause It's just cute and funny to watch.
Honestly, these Popin Cookin videos are less interesting for me than Ian's other food videos because "powder turns into something vaguely resembling food" isn't particularly interesting compared to seeing him really prepare something, so MJ is a nice bonus.
@@mastermarkus5307 Well, I'm the other way around. I wanna see the cool editing and what antics Ian comes up with.
You know, the guy I subscribed for. Not to see a random animal being half in the way of the content. I guess you all just love cats and whatnot, but that's not a good excuse to feature one without an actual good reason for it... And yes, I will stand with that opinion, cause I'm sure youtube has enough dedicated cat videos to enjoy.

“I love donuts! Jelly-filled are my favorite! Nothing beats a Jelly-filled Donut!”
My favorite jelly-filled donuts are those white and black ones shaped like rounded triangles.
planescaped My favourite jelly filled donuts are the orange ones that are super thin, and taste like cheese
@@planescaped youve been to belgium too huh?
As someone who speaks fluent Japanese these videos give me both great joy and anxiety
don't admit you're fluent in japanese unless you're ready for ian to absorb you into his phone so he can use you for the next video on niche japanese foods
たこ焼きが好きですか
I can speak it but I can't read it so I would have just as much trouble.
To-ko-ya-ki. It hurt so bad.
Al Rigby lol he wasn’t even aiming the camera 🤣🥰proplerly🥰🤣 at the translator 🤣🥰🀄️💮☯️☮️
*sees the octopus*
*calls it octopus parts*
Ian: _SQUID BALLS_
Your editing style is ironically very japanese-esque, Ian
Do you mean for Japanese programming, or for online video content from Japan? I'm intrueged.
How is that "ironic"? Do people not know what "irony" means?
@@englishatheartI've noticed people are using it silimarly to "literally". It does nothing but emphasize the statement. But I personally hate it.
@@englishatheartit’s ironic because he’s struggling through the task at hand because it’s all in Japanese, playing the character of an uncultured American throughout the video and he’s somewhat critical of the Japanese product he’s using. The fact that his editing is highly stylized in a somewhat Japanese way could be interpreted as funny in light of that. I don’t personally find that funny but I can see what they meant. Weird that you got your panties in a twist about it though
The camera function in the Google translate app sucks for Japanese lmao
Also, takoyaki literally just means "fried octopus"
It sucks for pretty much every Asian language in general. Most of them are heavily dependant on context which is hard for a computer to figure out.
The Memessiah soo bad. I tried using it while I was in japan. Impossible. I think it’s because the characters independently mean different stuff than in a sentence.
ur editing in this video is astounding and brought tears to my eyes. truly life changing.
clay paky The guy getting stabbed was hilarious
aw don't cry.
microwave microwave microwave microwave
happy tears, or sad tears?
It's savory
the packaging is secretly the first step to an underground japanese food arg
I'm not sure if it's the editing sound effects, you simply saying "nuh, nuh, nuh." to MJ and then her protesting with a poke, or because i'm sleep deprived, but im telling you i'm in tears
American Kid: *opens a lunchable* man I sure do love lunch! What did your mom pack you?
Japanese kid: 助けて *begins to make this for 3 hours*
I only eat towels dipped in mayonnaise
*Finally removes final ingredient from microwave*
"Alright kids! Line up!"
Bento exist in Japan and yummy Nummies exist in america
@@maxfelson9467 Actually, it's Poppin Cookin that made it first so basically Yummy Nummies is a slight bootleg.
助けて (Tasukete) translates to “help”
There’s a cat ladies and gentlemen! There. Is. A. Cat!
This is the kind of character variety I expect in my Japanese tiny food tutorials!
That’s MJ!! Ian has been documenting her antics on Twitter 💖
I already loved Ian and his videos but the cat is just too adorable to handle
You can see much more of MJ the cat on his second channel with stream vods, Moose2
I just adore MJ. Cats are so awesome!
so glad you have a black cat. black kitties don't always get the love they deserve but i know mj is in good hands.
I love that he just lets her hang out and do her thing, but still makes sure she doesn't do anything dangerous like eating the stuff lol. He's already a great cat dad!
*_fucking demons._*
The black cat at my grandma's house is the best cat I know even though it drools when it's rubbing on you
That's why I adopted 2. They also make nice lap cats.
I have a black kitty named Wednesday or Wendy sometimes. Lover to bits. Even her lips and whiskers are black!
I was audibly excited when MJ jumped into the shot.
She's a great cat. She should be the new co-host, honestly
I think umami is the word your looking for to describe the kinda savory smell
the cat helping is by far the cutest part. I have made some of the candy ones, but never the food ones. They are pretty fun.
Google translate app works better when you take a picture and highlight the text
But it struggles a lot with stylized fonts such as this packaging use, unfortunately.
Also I'm pretty sure his phone is locked in portrait mode because the "align text" thing is always portrait, so from the apps perspective the text is sideways
@@lordeilluminati I paused the video and got it to work fine
Google translate is absolute ass for Japanese, if Ian does one of these again it would be best to find a pal who can translate them for him
@@skopm I got it to work fine. It's also hard finding exact translations in general.
Top notch editing, as always! Makes the video even funnier!
When are going to do a tuna noodle? MY FAVORITE
predicting now that tuna noodle will be a million subscriber special lol
Not to be dramatic but I would die for MJ. Thank you.
Same
And you're welcome
MJ Leaping into frame and startling Ian from time to time make this video even more hilarious XD
as someone who loves real takoyaki, the prospect of powdered, reconstituted octopus upsets me on a visceral level
Yet eating actual animal flesh doesn't. I'm not a vegan, but what people will and won't eat makes no sense half the time. "Oh, a highly intelligent creature with 8 legs? Let's eat it! But powder that turns into food? Yuck. 🤢"
@@englishatheart nobody careeees
@@englishatheart I’ll eat you next.
But you’re okay with dashi broth which is powdered reconstituted fish? Or bonito flakes which are dried fish?
The little, random edits you do are so funny and endearing. I really like the personality it adds to your show. Great job!
Krainwreck I bet you forgot you commented on this video
@@willfulton2729 bet you forgot you replied to this comment
@@outdatedmemories i bet you forgot you replied to this reply
@@mosthoserrbet you forgot you replied to this reply of a reply underneath a comment
Ian’s legit the most classiest UA-camrs I’ve ever seen.
Also, as a cat person, I can confirm that MJ is one of the cutest cats I’ve seen.
The google translate thing is much better when you use the picture mode then you can highlight the text you wish to know instead of it trying to figure out every single thing
That translator is the equivalent of translation from google 20 times.
Its is literally a single translation from google
editing just keeps getting better and better, and cochef MJ is an amazing cook, 5 stars.
those water splashes tho
I have bought and made this and several other kinds of these kits, including the hamburger one, and thought they tasted okay. Is my palate about as refined as a dumpster? Absolutely, but I liked them all the same.
It seems like a lot of work for very little food. Are they expensive?
@@antongrahn1499 they’re like 7 dollars on amazon i think? i dont think people really do it for the food itself anyway.
I loved them so don't worry you're not alone
Ian seems to have a very weak baby boy palate
Usually, they're sweet and edible- like gummies. But these specifically try to taste like squid, so its weird and fishy and not in a good way. Neither sweet like candy, or savory like real takoyaki. Just gross
Quick advice: take a picture of the the words with the google translation app and then you can touch the words you want to translate. Hope that helps :)
Ikr! Your shaky hands and reflective plastic isn't working. So aggravating to watch 🤣
13:10 you’re looking for the word “umami”, Ian
As soon as I saw the app freakout with the packaging I knew this was going to be a good video.
I didn’t think your videos could get any better but apparently perfection CAN be improved upon and the secret is cat!
Cat is a secret answer to most questions...
If its Schroedingers cat, his Takoyaki is both alive and dead.
When I see a brutalmoose video.
That's popin'
Ah, Google Translate. If the phrase has more than two words, it starts speaking gibberish.
More like Garble Translate.
@@LikaLaruku true dat
right? I can not promise more than two bureaus.
Only the 'live translate'. With text to text or photos it translates more or less accurately most of the time but with some missing nuance
@@leorickt.9604 Do you have enough shades? This seems like in other languages.
the addition of MJ made this go to the next level. so freaking funny it hurts
They sell these on the shelf’s at alot of grocery stores in Michigan. If you go to meijer in Michigan you’ll find these. Which all have English directions. Oddly the burger kit wasn’t savory. The burger was chocolate, the buns were orange, the fries were pineapple, the ketchup was strawberry, the cheese was banana.
I hope the plop soundbite never goes away.
for anyone curious it works better if you take a picture with it and highlight the text you want to read (it doesnt save the pictures to your phone)
Or if you try to actually align the text along the "Align the text" rectangle that shows up before it recognizes text
In my experience, it’s better to take a photo and then translate it. It works way better imo and great video as always 👌
"A wet dog named Pickles" is a dope album name.
Ian going more and more ham on the editing is so great, also MJ being his helper is even better
"Put this mix water to the top" was surprisingly understandable compared to everything else.
*stand on house roof*
So i'm here, now whaooops! Well now I need more water...
The unexplained mariachi music while pouring gravy is why I love your editing.
+looks for something sweet. Picks the one with the octopus on it+ lmao
*is a ginger*
"Finish that, ginger!"
sorry I'll get back to work now
I love the way he talks to MJ xD
"No No No"
"no"
"i sure hope this is a SWEET one and not a SAVORY one this time" hooo boy.
Yes! You know it's going to be a good day when Ian uploads a video about making squid balls.
you should try and make some treats for MJ! 😊
Dude I love your editing lmao, it's so unique.
*cameras shaking
Moose: Departments retribution fun
Me:ok.
"How many water do we need?" -Ian 2019
Hey Ian! I don’t usually comment on your videos ... if you need help translating, let me know! I’ve been living in Japan for three years! I love the poppin cookin videos
OMG GUEST EPISODE!
"I'm brutalfoods and this is my interpreter"
Nah, that would take away from the humor, like that time someone ruined Big Rigs Over the Road Racing by actually making it playable.
You were being sarcastic but I think MJ helped a great deal with your cooking process.
I have rewatched this so many times and the sound effects you put over your cat’s actions make me cry laughing every time
Aww I love his neon moon light in the back. I want one ^^
14:32 I caught that Plop, don't think you can pull a fast one on me
sLOP
The patience he has for MJ is precious
No disrespect but You sound like you’re hosting a jazz radio show
How would that be disrespectful?
Just like LGR!
How insulting
Thats acctually incredibly accurate
that sounds comfy
god, i love your cat so much. I really hope she makes more guest appearances. What a good kitty
Clearly the reason these turned out disgusting is because you forgot to mail it to your grandfather in the north. You tried sending it to your dad, the recipe doesn't work that way
I love how you express your humor with the editing! I believe it's a lot of work. I will always appreciate the editing with your videos though. Really solid reviews too.
yea... when I lived in Japan google translate was never really helpful. I think it has to do with the font choice for the writing that the system struggles with
Yeah and too much text at once, struggles with full sentences etc
The best way to make your way through these kits is definitely with video tutorials. Google translate is definitely useless when it comes to Asian languages, especially if you're using the photo/video translator with stylized text.
The machine noises at 7:52 and beyond had me dead. Love it.
MJ helping was the cutest thing every❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 kept trying to steal the octopus thing
MJ is so cute!!! Combine her and your editing skills and you got UA-cam gold right there!
Having MJ in this video was such a delight!!!! Her first UA-cam appearance and she's already a star 🤩
These look tako-yucky if I'm being honest.
Ayy
*_GOTEEM_*
...are you my dad?
Are you proud?
How fucking dare you
I'd love to have a video where he actually cooks takoyaki 😂
Not to exaggerate, but I would destroy galaxies for MJ. Since I cannot get a kitty in my new place, seeing one here made my day.
I know absolutely nobody gives a fuck, but I'm on my classic Brutalfoods binge, and found this comment from 2 years ago, and figured I'd give an update! I've since moved, bought my own place, gotten a better job, and gotten a black kitty of my own! His name is Mr Monet Midnight, and he's about a ×1000 more of a menace than MJ is in this video. I love him to pieces, and it sure makes me glad I've come such a long way from the last time I made a comment here.
@@Arlekienen proud of you!!! So stoked for you!!!! I have three mischievous black kitties so I feel that lolol enjoy your life!!💚🥰
I'm on another video binge, so time for another update, I guess? In addition to Mr Midnight, I have another cat now. He's chonky and silly and orange, and they're both menaces, and I love them both. I've also changed workplaces to a better paid job, transitioned, renovated my place, and gotten a good partner. I am also a very solid cook these days, so, with every rewatch, these reviews get more and more horrifying LMAO
