"Pamo, Pamo, Pamo, Pamo, Pamo, Pamooooo-San"
-Japanese Michael Scott
Nihon no Maikaru sukotto
San is for men. Chan is for women.
@@brucef310 "san" is gender neutral and "chan" is as well in most instances.
@@EverydayYounglife I lived in Japan for 12 years and went to school there. I think I would know. This isn't the same as addressing a group of women at a restaurant and saying "Hey you guys".
@@brucef310 it could be a meta-reference to Michael Scott trying to learn Spanish. he has absolutely no understanding of gender. or it could be a complete mistake
I'm so glad they got Steve Carell for this. No one can play Michael better than him.
Oskaras I agree
Oskaras statements like this make no sense. they could’ve very likely gotten another actor back then who plays michael amazingly and u would say no one else could fit the part
@@-__9767 Did you see their casting tapes? Steve Carell was the only one actually feeling the character. So in this case I think it makes sense.
Oskaras that’s not what i meant. imagine steve carell never auditioned and it was someone else just as good.
@@-__9767
Well, we still don't know he's just as good or not if it's not happening
(Roll Safe meme)
"jim you're not caucasian" "you seriously never noticed? props on you for not seeing race"
Should have hired Randall park for Jim's role here 😂
1:00 Jim's actor is the only one with a western name
Hader is just amazing. He basically is Dwight in this sketch, like exactly.
Noooo no no. He's Dwighto-san.
I used to get them mixed up somehow.
Identify theft is not a joke Bill.
@@JohnnywiseifyMichael san!!
本気は韓国語が話せない
I just really appreciate Stanley playing Sudoku instead of doing a crossword 😂
Well spotted!!😂😂
Fucking kenan haha. What a legend
Kenan 😂
It is also canon that stanley likes Sudoku
Stanley played sudoku too, remember when i think Andy did all his sudoku and he was mad ass hell..😁
I think they skipped a beat here by not getting Asian Jim to play Jim
Bora Kesal unfortunately this aired in 2008 and I think Asian jim was the last season but that would have been so great
Bora Kesal but he's Korea. That wouldn't have made any sense.
GucciArzola it's not racist you fuck
Swhdju is amazing he was quoting Ricky Gervais' ending line.
Omg your right
Meta moment: Michael’s mug actually says “World’s Funniest Boss,” but because he is Japanese and modest, he says that he is “JAPAN’S Funniest Boss.”
My friend shared me this skit, as a Japanese fan of The Office and Steve Carell I literally laughed out watching this. Also Bill's Japanese-katakana-ish pronunciation of "assistant" is very accurate.
Oihh so that's how its called when you transform an english word into a japanese pronunciation? And not translate it. I always wondered about it...
@@AbbyTimeLady Not just English words, I think they do it with any occidental word :) For example, spanish "flamenco"
@@ZurditaDinamita es verdad que no solo en inglés, gracias!
Does this mean that the Asian jim prank that jim played on dwight is switched with jim actually being white.
Yes
So in the Japanese version that would be canon
They should have had Jon Krasinski cameo as White Jim for the prank LOL
Woke
hol up
This must have been so weird for people who have never seen the office before.
It wasn't
Ippatsu Man WATCH THE DAMN OFFICE.
sorry :)
@@summermackay7924 🤔
I tried to watch it and almost fell asleep
@@jojoridrid7750 same but gotr bored
The attention to detail is awesome. Like “Jim” fidgeting with chopsticks instead of a pen after pranking “Dwight”.. Or “Stanley” solving sudoku instead of crosswords.
Lol the fact that Hader looks exactly like Dwight 😂😂, and when Kristen covered her mouth to laugh, oh man I laughed out loud there. Good skit
Pretty sure Bill actually auditioned for Dwight
Never realized how the laugh track does NOT work with the office
But it’s with real ppl
the office is the amazing show we all know and love because it's based off he akwards moments. The laughing relieves the tension making it less noticeable
Laugh tracks are only for shows that aren't actually funny like Big Bang Theory
Teddy DiSanti your right
Teddy DiSanti the big bang theory uses a live audience and not laugh tracks
As a japanese speaker, they're speaking real japanese just with funny pronunciation.
The pronunciation isn't even that bad
@@matko-cro-can eh, they're saying it okay but intonation is all over the place
@@kingwinifred4393 I didn't say it was good. I said it was not bad.
@@matko-cro-can it's pretty bad haha
@@kingwinifred4393 I think it’s cause they’re really trying to over exaggerate cause it’s a comedy sketch
Steve Carell is such an amazing actor just from the fact he replicated the same expressions, timings, and body language while speaking Japanese. wow
2:05 most satisfying 'baka' ever
*They really nailed Micheal Scott, not gonna lie.*
BRistian Obviously no-one can replace Steve carrel though
He could have done better. They really should have gotten Steve Carrell to come back for it instead of this guy, he is trying too hard.
tHaTs bEcAuSe It Is HiM
israa hajelamin NO SHIT SHERLOCK.
That guy looks soooooo much like Steve Carrey I wonder where they found him!!! Maybe he’s a twin brother???
I can’t believe Steve carrel was casted in both the Japanese and American office, very cool!
IKR!!!!
I thought Jim was actually Jim until the second time I saw it
that not even Steve Carrel, he is called 平冈 光雄
*cast
Yes so cool he was castificationed in both
I'm currently learning Japanese right now in school, and my goal at the end of the year is to re-watch this sketch and finally understand every word if of it.
Edit a year later: So we didn't learn a lot of dictionary words, it was mostly the written language and a lot of sentences grammar, plus some basic phrases. I understand a little more now but just barely.
Luckily, there are three more levels of Japanese I can take the next three years, so hopefully by then I can achieve my original goal???
Can you now
How you doing now?
the pronunciation makes it a little difficult lol
ive been learning japanese and it's so hard to understand bc their pronounciation is not that great and there's no subtitles :(
wakaranai
Using the language barrier as the element to create awkwardness for an English speaking audience is a very cerebral take on comedy. I like this one a lot.
It's not the language barrier that creates the awkwardness, it's the awkwardness 😂
Ngl Bill Hader looks 100% like the bobblehead that Angela gave to Dwight.
It totally does!
It disturbs me how right you are.
this cannot be unseen
yes!
Omg is that Bill Hader
How can Steve Carrell be soooo darn good even in Japanese lol
What do u mean “good” lmao
kikicitypop he means at mastering that persona of Michael. Overall he’s just a great actor
Careful, weaboos might get offended.
Gabbi Solar Powered He is the Russian superpower
Anybody who came from Second City improv group is brilliant.
I get the feeling that Bill Hader would've actually been a great Dwight, ofc nobody can beat Rainn Wilson tho
That was my thoughts exactly
I swear he looked identical
Except for that guy with the wooden eye in Pirates of the Caribbean.
2:58 that’s exactly how we laugh, kawaiii Kristen Wiig!!
In this series, Hide is still a heart surgeon, number 1, steady hand
“Numba one”
Tommy Timmy “The best”
Please mate you must explain the episode this is from. I'm confusing a movie and the show might have had it
Marco Rubio I don’t remember which episode it’s from, but here’s the clip: ua-cam.com/video/2wcI10CNuxU/v-deo.html
"The secret? I killed Kim Jong-Un on purpose"
The thing is Bill Hader actually looks like Rainn Wilson
Bill Hader actually looks like Dwight's bobble head figurine given by Angela 🤣
I know right and I am surprised no one talks about this
Fuck yes thank you! Finally someone agrees
Longer nose
HE IS 😂
I'm Japanese, spent my childhood in the US and am a fan of The office, and this is very accurate 😂
The first kanji names shown seem to actually exist and fit each character!
Okay, but seriously though, a Japanese TV show based on The Office that goes into the nuances of Japanese work culture sounds really, really interesting.
Man, that Steve Carell guy really looks like Steve Carell.
Yeah, that's the Japanese star Asateevu Carerru
TL Mapping baka!
optimusbee214 😂😂😂💀💀💀
thats Astevuu Careuuruu
Is it not
Is it weird that I don't understand anything they're saying but at the same time I understand everything they're saying?
Same here
because we watched that Episode
Absolutely not
Do you want it to be weird? I feel like you want it to be weird. Sure, it's weird, weirdo.
Love your profile pic
Even if this is a joke skit, this is a great wake up call for Universal to create an anime version of the Office. Just imagine it lol
i showed this skit to my japanese host family, and i dont think ive seen them giggle as much as they did to this. thank u for helping us bond!
Love how the credits in the intro really translate to "we dont speak japanese. And neither do you"
Where does it say that? I can't see
@@kajolkainth9405 3:56
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LIES ... but I can't prove it, cuz I don't speak japanese 😂
lmao no it doesn't
The best part is that they're really speaking japanese
Its also funny how they fail the accent.
@@madlink3495 Oh yeah the english accents are thick lol, except for "pam" her Japanese was surprisingly really good
Cesar Pam was dubbed by someone who could speak Japanese
@@denimchicken104 Im not surprised
@@denimchicken104 no it wasn't dubbed by somebody else Kristen wiig is super talented.
Let's just please give some major praise to Steve Carell. Damn he's talented, and he plays his roles effortlessly.
I love how they converted everyone to a character from japanese culture but Stanley is just another black man.
I feel like they should've hired Asian Jim for this. Missed opportunity.
Asian Jim didn't existed when this was shot
Mind. Blown.
He's not Jim, Jim's not Asian?
@@lukematthews1442 you’ve never noticed? Hats off to you for not seeing race.
@@kaili_28 whoosh
Thank God the office doesn’t have a laugh track like this
It isn't a laugh track it is the live audience from snl
TeamBuild KittyTeam i’m well aware of that but this is what it would sound like if it did
Caden Hembree why tf would the office have a laugh track in the first place that’s the dumbest idea ever. The whole premise of the show is that it’s a documentary, not some dumb sitcom
It's filmed in front of a live studio ostrich
Beard Gains Do you think i don’t know that?
Can we just take a moment to talk about Jason and Bill as Jim and Dwight.
In an alternate universe, they could really play Jim and Dwight.
It's funny how they captured the humility of the Japanese people, check
2:55
The guy who played Steve Carell's character was spot on.
that was steve carell
+Tit Rit
no shit sherlock that was the joke
No that was Tit Rit, not Sherlock.
It was steve carell tho
lol i was waiting for idiots to fall for this
Kristen totally rocked the Japanese girl voice.
I thought it was helium...
I cried😂😂😂
She tries her best which makes it funnier because shes not even asian
@@tamick21 no wai I thought the whole cast was Asian, I must not see race
No she did not. It was annoying
Bill Hader is literally Dwight but with an extra strong jawline lmao
最高やな！！！！！教室で見て、笑いすぎて涙が出てきました。I'm crying with laughter
When your favorite anime doesn't have subtitles.😤
Lmao man i'm dead XD
UwU
ุAHHAAHHA
I’m sounding the weeb alarm
That username though
Steve Carrell looks like he pulled a Creed and dyed his hair with the printer toner
1,6 tn likes and not one comment. Until now. Hmmm..
Maybe you should be more respectful
@@Ryan-pg1tw Are you serious? First of all, I really don't think Steve Carrell comes to UA-cam to look for comment about himself, second of all, he would probably laugh at this comment, and third and last, even if he wouldn't laugh, he wouldn't give a flying fuck what "chocolate giddy-up" thinks of his hair. So again, are you serious or trying to be funny?
Stupid Knigga Gottem
They colored his hair black for this bit wtf😂
I want 9 seasons of this.
How is that what she said
That’s not a that’s what she said
That’s too long man. I don’t believe we could handle that.
@@conexaoriotoquio that's what she said, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
I love how restrained everyone is.
Hearing asian Dwight say "Baka" made my day
first insult I learned in Japanese lol
@@jamescupedrojr8101 u watched anime and once they said stuff like that u looked up the word to add it in your vocab 😂😂
A s a i n
Yeah that most people know about
@@maryam8538 you mean "aisan"?
As a japanese person, this was fucking hilarious. And what they're saying actually makes sense in japanese... kinda. They tried, A for effort.
the accent tho
kinda...ほんとそれなwww
but it was fun!!!!
Haruka Takagi I'm Japanese as well and I was laugh crying😂😂
Haruka Takagi Kudos to you guys for being able to take a joke. That is a breath of fresh air nowadays. I'm glad there are still people who recognize that you can have immense respect for a culture and people and still poke fun at stereotypes.
I'm a white, American mutt so there is admittedly not as much comedy stereotyping my demographic but what is out there I find hilarious.
It's the American liberal SJW's job to be offended FOR you, even if you don't want them to think they are trying to help you.
The fact we can understand it without even speaking Japanese is incredible
That's one of the best punchlines I've ever seen, and Gervais absolutely nailed it.
They nailed the Pam, Jim, and Dwight impression 😂😂
they also got that Micheal impression down too.
Lol what, their names are Pamu, Jimu, and Dowaito.
And Stanley!
And the guy that plays Michael is quite good too ;)
Bill Hader nailed that by simply being himself speaking Japanese
The actors that did Jim and Pam, replicated their faces to perfection
I thought Jim was actually Jim
I remembered the SNL monologue of Rainn Wilson, they're also acting like Jim and Pam. and Kristen did sound like Pam. A great impression. Jason did it well to..
@@trentbateman I had to rewatch, I only picked up Kristen Wiig and Kennan were not their counterparts on the first watch. I thought it was odd they got everyone else buy Pam in, but Bill Hader looks just like Rain Wilson, and Jason Sudeikis passes for John Krasinski.
The actor for Michael kind of resembled Steve carell.
@@uncle5486 woah, I never thought about that. Just wow
i am in Tokyo for a few months and happened to stumble upon this video again after so many years. so funny! I love japan.
The impressions for Jim and Dwight, perfect
The fact that Stanley was still African American is hilarious
African "American" even though he's supposed to be Japanese
Black
Yeah I'm not black, but I'm pretty sure it's not racist to say he's black. Trying to be politically correct but it just looks stupid.
@@jcwynn4075 no shit lmao
In the words of Chris Tucker... "He's Blackanese" 😅
i'm japanese and i find this hilarious
especially all of the "gomenasai" which means "i apologize"
Okay, so at 2:30 when Maikeru and Dwaito are having that board meeting; I feel like I'm having a stroke because it's just such a weird flow of words. It''s kind of like seeing adult men talking like boys with some sort of severe dyslexia and brain damage.
@Black Knight Gaming But this way it's funnier. Because it's more racist.
@@yaroslavromanyuk5669 how is it racist? that's how you write it in romanji
Wow, all this time and I’ve just seen this, it’s like finding a treasure, was so happy watching it!
This was an all star cast of SNL, the one that made me fall in love with the show.
Stanley is still black in Japanese lol
It’s funny because it’s racist 😂
Black people exist in Japan, too.....
You might also notice that almost no one in this is actually Japanese
@Ava Vikman of course, but they could’ve changed him into a different version of him.
Aisha Adnan why Michael Jim Pam and Dwight are still why so why can’t Stanley be black
Gabe's version of the office be like
I Can Explain underrated comment
He can use chopsticks
"Can you watch this or do you need an Asian fetish?"
"If you do not have an Asian fetish it will be very upsetting."
@@thesandwichslayer9948 yaoi
This is brilliant. I need a longer version or even a season!!!
I love how Regis just says "Regis here, buy these!" without prior context
Therapist: Japanese office can’t hurt you. Japanese office isn’t real.
Japanese office:
Check out Indian office
I hope your UA-cam channel gets terminated
I've worked in a Japanese company as an intern and I can guarantee everything portrayed here (especially the morning exercise and the karaoke part as a celebration of a departing Japanese head) is ON POINT!
Only thing a disagree is there is no separate desk for each employee. I wish it was like that. It should have been a long plank of a table with chairs lined like a canteen.
And everytime they celebrate something or just simply hanging out to get some drinks, they will clap their hands every 10 minute or so. There's always a reason to cheer and clap their hands.
Really, lol XD
White people professing the expertise in Japanese culture. Gotta love it 😍😍😍
@@AstroKitty16 Amazing. Much appreciated.
Bill Hader looked EXACTLY like Dwight in the beginning
Whenever I feel like dying, i come back here and have some laugh. Thank you SNL.
Okay but they were actually really good at playing Dwight and Jim, all their mannerisms were on point!
Heybella I mean could it be that it actually isn't a hard role
The guy playing Micheal Scott was dead on, I was almost convinced it was the original actor!
Collin Sedgley Hahaha it is 😂😂😂
+Tranthony 17 That was the joke.
Tino L I know that! I got it 😂😂😂

Pam: /answers the phone/ Hello. Dunder Miflin. This is Pam.
Michael: /enters the office and approaches the reception desk/ Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pammmmmuuuu......san[TN: 'san' is a universal title attached to the end of names to address people]
Pam: Michael-san how are you doing?
Michael: That's what she said.
/Michael looks at the camera slyly bows and walks away/

/Jim calls Dwight on the phone/
Dwight: /Answers the phone/ Hello.
Jim: Where is your stapler?
Dwight: /discovers his jello ensconced stapler/ Jackass!

Michael: /introduces himself to his employees in the conference room/ I am your Regional Manager.
Dwight: And I am the Assistant Regional Manager.
Michael: No you are not the Assistant Regional Manager. You are the assistant to the Regional Manager.
Michael: Now let us do some 'rajio taisou' exercises (rajio taisou - a set of regimented warm-up exercises implemented in some of the offices in Japan to promote a healthy body and mind for work).
Pam: Michael cares for everyone's health. /giggles/
/Everyone continues to exercise. Stanley does the crossword puzzles. Michael hurts his shoulder while exercising./

Michael: I think I did a great job. What do you think? /picks up and shakes the bobblehead/ Yes, yes, yes!
---Michael sings karaoke---
Michael: She is beautiful to me.
Dwight: /serves Michael some sake(Japanese rice wine)/ Kampai!(cheers!)
You are my hero
Yes thank goodness for copy and paste.
This was so underrated-
actually, stanley was doing sudoku not crossword puzzles wich just makes it even funnier
Thank you!
Bill as Dwight and Jason as Jim are perfect.
I need an actual series of this-
Oh and the voice acting, my god-
This just proves that any version of the office would be a success, as long as it has Steve Carell
I totally agree!!
Yeah, the original did just fine without him buddy.
@@chicken-wuss it's lame, that's why first season of us sucked. They copied uk one. Ricky only got the idea
@@chicken-wuss "did just fine"
* Show ends in two seasons on a miserable note. *
An African office
bill hader as dwight schrute, my life is complete now
ha i even didn't realise he was in it! he blended right into the character
+rio rinanda ismar i only realised halfway through the vid...hahahaha..
i really thought at first it was dwight
yeaaaah finally and the guy who played dwight, at first i thought was bill hader
I never thought I would see someone else worthy of playing Dwight Schrute. I was wrong.
i appreciate how they're actually speaking real japanese 😂
This is close to 10 years old. I've watched the Office like 207 Times. I am seing this for the first Time and I feel like I'm in some kind of parallel Universe what is actually happening am I losing my Mind this is the best Thing ever !!!
Jason Sudeikis nailed those Jim Halpert expressions
i honestly thought it was Jim in the first shot!
EXpression. Lol.
Duncan Davey he even answered the phone like jim.
...and Olivia Wilde.
He actually looks like a cross between Jim and Andy tbh
surprised that they are seriously speaking japanese
same. I'm happy they actually took the effort
you mean they have haven't made up "mushi mushi"??
+moh nope. Authentic Japanese.
its used as "hello" mainly when picking uo the phone
Muschi in German is... well, female genitals.
All these years later, this still so great.
Its so wierd seing The Office with a laugh track. Really throws me off
Its not a laugh track, its Saturday Night Live.
*weird
@@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883 *weirdu
correction, you find real people laughing at the office weird
Its a part of the SNL skit
Now no one can say the office isn’t the best anime
It’s true
Shah Omar Fake news its Cory in the House
Shah Omar 😂😂😂
In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand.
日本語ちゃんと喋ってる〜！👏🏼
ファンとして嬉しいです。
Stanley is doing sudoku, lol
He does play it in the American one as well though lol
Amanda Tenney that's kinda the point the original commenter was making 😂
Skylar Thomas - wasn't clear, since this is a Japanese segment, and he usually does crossword puzzles.
Amanda Tenney Stanley does sudoku, Andy made a comment about it
I love playing odoku does that make me japanese
Manga: The British Office
Anime: The American Office
Netflix Adaptation:
There's a beautiful sense of irony here
@@tarjeisellevoll257 You should have a look at the Netflix Full Metal Alchemist movie.
This is a rare case of the anime being better than the manga then for sure. Check the numbers in fact I think as I’m typing this The Office (US) is the most streamed show on Netflix 😂😂😂
I need more of this
Bill Harder looks like a mix of Rainn Wilson and Mackenzie Crook
The Japanese isn't bad at all, surprisingly. It all made sense
AWW Thank god.
except for the fact that they kept pronouncing desu with a u
i agree the way they pronounced desu made me cringe
It's obvious that they were doing it for comedic effect, but the hard SU isn't necessarily wrong if you're speaking kansai-ben.
Is there a translation of the script anywhere?
I’m happy they didn’t leave out Stanley
Started learning Japanese some time ago and understood half of this. Gonna come back in a few months and see if I can understand it fully
I want an update >:(
高熱が出た時に見る、気の触れた悪夢みたいで笑った🤣🤣

なんだかんだちゃんと日本語喋っててすごいね😂🎉
The dude playing him actually got pretty accurate with John krasinskis facial expressions
That's Olivia Wilde's (ex) husband Jason Sudeikis
Oh yeah Sudeikis did awesome playing jim. The sort of vacant look that he had after he put Haderdwight's thing in jello
@@justinthomas1282 😊
its ted lasso
kristen wiig nailed the japanese chick high pitch voice!
Relco12 I saw this man in my dream once
TOMATOOOLE same
Leo Sofisticato not a voiceover? lol voiceover would have been perfect 😂
Never heard a Japanese woman speak like that when I was living there.
That was clearly a voiceover.
this is gold
What if John Krasinski was cast to play “American Jim” in this Asian version👀
All of the cast were clearly Japanese in the manga. Why does American media keep doing this?
i hate when they change things for the anime adaptation.
Nah mate, it was the Netflix adaptation that fucked everything up
I want mecha office.
to show that American can also do.
This is my favorite comment on this video.
