OK, "I have a bad case of diarrhea" seems hilarious at first. But if you're ever traveling, that'd be a pretty useful phrase to know in any language if it ever does happen.
when would you use it though? Who cares if you have diarrhea? Its not like a stranger would have a cure for it. its just nasty and why would you tell someone that? might as well give more information like, i have erectile dysfunction, and poor bowel movements, and impacted stool. good morning.
@@murderofcrows2179 Maybe it'd be good for telling a doctor or something if it's really serious. They could help you treat it so your whole vacation isn't ruined by it.
I'm Japanese, I had no idea about this show and thought this was a joke otherwise how come I've never watched this masterpiece until now. Found out this was aired early 90' when I was 6, of course still sleeping at 5am. Imagine Japanese children loudly sing "I have a bad case of diarrhea" everywhere in Japan. Back in the day there were many ridiculous Japanese tv programme however strict regulations changed them all. Now "I have a bad case of diarrhea" song stuck in my head, try not to sing in front of my 3 years old daughter. Thank you Chris for sharing this.
Can you tell me more about the regulations or send me somewhere where I can learn about them? It sounds interesting, why and how would they suddenly start to regulate tv shows changibg everything. Especially in the light of the other video about the Japanese tv in this channel
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 Yes those girls are wearing 80s aerobic gear, something that was also hugely popular in the west with exercise tapes and TV shows.
I watched this with my husband and we cracked up all night with the phrases they were doing. I'm a nurse, so I'm usually the serious one and he's a graphic designer and kid at heart, so he's the one that always makes the jokes...Then this morning I heard my husband run upstairs to the bathroom. I hopped up and ran up the stairs, stopping him just before he could close the door. "WAIT!" He turns and looks at me, "Come on! What?" I stood there for a moment, trying to desperately remember the dance, when it suddenly hit me, "DO YOU HAVE A BAD CASE OF DIARRHEA?" He audibly groaned and the door. Come on! That was a good one! ...no? lol
Reminded me of when I was in Japan, asked a guard at a station how to get somewhere (I didn't speak Japanese) and he started moving his arms around to remember how to say right and left in English, then he told me the way. I guess sometimes moving your body works, it was a bit awkward while I was waiting, but I love the effort he put into remembering and helping me out
"I was robbed by two men" "Are you alright" "I have a bad case of diarrhea" "What?" "You look sensational in that dress" "Are you drunk?" "The climax scene really got to me" "Oh you're high"
Can we just appreciate how great of a pal Natsuki is to be willing to do skits with Chris in a business hotel room. 😂 I’m also wondering what the next door hotel guests were thinking as they hear “I have a bad case of diarrhea “ being chanted at whatever time of day that was. Was it utter horror or were they feeling nostalgia? 🤔
@@exterminatus5782 Actually I live in Japan and 95% of the people here would guess a "diarrhea" is something where you write your thoughts and feelings.
The part where it can get really wrong is when people mix up the phrases, and say thing like "You look sensational with diarrhea", "I am allergic to men", "Please spare my climax scene"
"You drive me crazy. You drive me crazy. YOU drive me crazy." he said, some the pills spilling out of his hand and splattering against the sink like rattling bones. Today, he would twist the relentless singing voices in his mind into an exercise spectacle. The voices and dancing were always there, every waking moment. "It's your fault that this happened." But the voices promised, if he allowed them to live in the minds of others, they would one day leave him...

This brought back memories of actually watching this show on Fuji back in 1992. I would commute to Tokyo early in the mornings and so would wait around in my house for about 20-40 minutes just watching what was on television. As someone who had been on many business trips to America, I knew that language like this was not exactly useful, but it was still entertaining with its loud synths and dancing sequences. As one of those ‘extra slots’ on television just after the Bubble period, it wasn’t well-known but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
@@clydeds123Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister or Britain at the time of the recording of the video, and his ways are criticized for very good reasons. It was Chris’s way of being critical of him by also making a joke.
I came back to re-watch this video because you said it hasn't does as well as your others on the podcast. Just doing my part to appreciate your art! This is the content I'm here for- top comedy content and top Natsuki content as well
Out of all your wonderful videos chronicling your adventures in Japan, this was by far the most difficult to explain as my wife walked into the room... 'I have a bad case of diarrhea' "What the hell are you watching, weirdo?"
Imagine a Japanese person getting really into this, but then confusing some of the lyrics because they have the same beat: I have a bad case of penicillin I am allergic to diarrhea I was robbed by diarrhea I have a bad case of two men The climax was sensational in that dress...
As a German, I laughed even harder about this bizarre workout videos, because some of these girls are wearing sports dresses with "Fräulein" print on it, which is a pretty old fashioned word for "madame" :D And of course, the book explanation what a "f*ckin' bastard" is like was simply just brilliant xD
“I thought it was a parody or something, who would make this?” C’mon you’ve lived Japan for a while now this shouldn’t be a phrase in your vocabulary Chris
The teaching method is still used in language classes, where it's called Total Physical Response (TPR). It's not used so much for describing bowel disorders though.
Brilliant video, it really made ma laugh. Your humorous approach is great and well done to Natsuki for participating. I don't think I could have kept a straight face trying to do his scenes.
I love that you either had that policeman outfit just lying around or you bought it specifically for this video. The dedication. Also, doctor Chris is hot!
When my friends asked me if the second shot of the covid vaccine gave me any side affects it has been very hard not to start dancing "I HAD A BAD CASE OF DIARRHEA"
"I was robbed by two men" Chris: But how did they look like? "I was robbed by two men" 🤣🤣🤣 This show is seriously messed up. Also, I just can't imagine Chris as a policeman. 😂😂😂
Now, can you imagine yourself in a real-life situation, telling the police about the criminal's errands singing that tune? "I was robbed by two men, I was robbed by two men" while rocking your arms XD

As someone who had been on many business trips to America, I knew that language like this was not exactly useful, but it was still entertaining with its loud synths and dancing sequences. As one of those ‘extra slots’ on television just after the Bubble period, it wasn’t well-known but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I need to learn the “I can’t stand the sight of you” dance routine for the next time I run into my mother-in-law
"I cant stand the sight of you"
(shows Boris)
Me: That Is Perfection
Inserted later as Boris wasn't around 30 years ago.
Weren't we lucky thirty years ago.
I didn't get this Joke! Please help me understand it.
@@clydeds123Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister or Britain at the time of the recording of the video, and his ways are criticized for very good reasons. It was Chris’s way of being critical of him by also making a joke.
I came back to re-watch this video because you said it hasn't does as well as your others on the podcast. Just doing my part to appreciate your art! This is the content I'm here for- top comedy content and top Natsuki content as well
robber: "Dont say a word!"
girl: shrieks loudly "ihhhhkkkkkkhhh!!!"
(right thats not word 🤣😋)
YAMMATE!!!!!!! lol
r/technicallytrue
@@sebastianpolcyn6358 /r/technicallythetruth
Someone please make a one hour loop of Natsuki exercising to “I have a bad case of diarrhea.”
Ask the internet and ye shall receive
Yes pls
I am also greedy and want a rap version!
Thanks for making these videos, they're the one show I can be entertained by everytime 😁
Out of all your wonderful videos chronicling your adventures in Japan, this was by far the most difficult to explain as my wife walked into the room...
'I have a bad case of diarrhea'
"What the hell are you watching, weirdo?"
Lmao
Imagine a Japanese person getting really into this, but then confusing some of the lyrics because they have the same beat:
I have a bad case of penicillin
I am allergic to diarrhea
I was robbed by diarrhea
I have a bad case of two men
The climax was sensational in that dress...
The climax was sensation in that dress kinda makes sense in a very specific way if you think about it.
Godzilla had a stroke while reading this and fucking died
You look sensational in diarrhea
I have not laughed like that in a while. Funny comment 😂
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a German, I laughed even harder about this bizarre workout videos, because some of these girls are wearing sports dresses with "Fräulein" print on it, which is a pretty old fashioned word for "madame" :D And of course, the book explanation what a "f*ckin' bastard" is like was simply just brilliant xD
This is so educational, I can already feel my English language knowledge level rise from B2 to native speaker. Also, I have a bad case of diarrhea :(
You can't fool me, Chris. This was clearly just a reaction video in disguise.
"I have a bad case of diarrhea" is now stuck in my head. This is going to be a looooong day. Especially for my colleagues. 😁
Hahahaha
“I thought it was a parody or something, who would make this?”
C’mon you’ve lived Japan for a while now this shouldn’t be a phrase in your vocabulary Chris
especially since the episodes he featured are almost 15 years old.
the exact clips he used can be found right here on youtube, and those are dated 2007. type zuiikin girls into your search bar and see for yourself
"I was robbed by two men"
[Subtitles]
"I was loved by two men"
Me: well...aren't you popular?
The teaching method is still used in language classes, where it's called Total Physical Response (TPR). It's not used so much for describing bowel disorders though.
Well to be fair hearing "I have a bad case of diarrohea" at 4:30 in the morning will wake you right up.
Replying just to say I love your Daredevil icon
@@sandrarivera1262 Thanks. I've had it since 2015, when the show first came out.
At the end: "As for me, I've got a case to solve"
Me: a case... of diarrhea? 🤔
Brilliant video, it really made ma laugh. Your humorous approach is great and well done to Natsuki for participating. I don't think I could have kept a straight face trying to do his scenes.
Chris: "Essentially a Japanese Karen"
Joe: " I feel called out"
I dunno, the phrase worked for me, I’m walking the house singing “I have a bad case of diarrhea.”
Chris, thank you for solving the mysterious origin of this show, it's something I've wondered for years!
I love that you either had that policeman outfit just lying around or you bought it specifically for this video. The dedication. Also, doctor Chris is hot!
DR Chris > Officer Chris
@@AbroadinJapan now we need Dr Jelly Vs Dr Chris in the upcoming Journey Across Japan.
Chris > Dr. Chris > Officer Chris ;)
A man in a uniform or a nice suit and shirt is normally quite hot i think x
@@missd4244 men are like fine wines they get finer with age 😊 thats why they get called silver foxes x
"I can't stand the sight of you" and a ghastly image shows up! Brilliant! 👏👏
honestly the highlight of my week! LOL I feel this though, I can't stand him either.
"I have a bad case of diarrhea" is stuck in my head now. Thanks.
When my friends asked me if the second shot of the covid vaccine gave me any side affects it has been very hard not to start dancing "I HAD A BAD CASE OF DIARRHEA"
Giuliani was right about the vaccine then
"I was robbed by two men"
Chris: But how did they look like?
"I was robbed by two men" 🤣🤣🤣
This show is seriously messed up. Also, I just can't imagine Chris as a policeman. 😂😂😂
At least he did not say to the police that "You look sensational in that dress".
Kind of reminds me of the Saturday night show actress who would chime in with "He looked like a man". Laugh!
@@Pehmokettu Hahahahaha yes this would have been epic
I think he said he was "loved" by two men, that's why the the police officer said, "Oh, good on you then"😃😄
Now, can you imagine yourself in a real-life situation, telling the police about the criminal's errands singing that tune? "I was robbed by two men, I was robbed by two men" while rocking your arms XD
Police officer: wtf 😒
"I was robbed by two men"
"Ma'am this is a Makudonarudo"
Person: is getting robbed
Everyone else: 💃"I have a bad case of diarrhea"💃
I've been singing "I have have a bad case of diarrhea" for 3 days now...I'm...slowly...losing...my....mind...
I cannot express with words the absolute joy that Natsuki brings to my life
That girl was really generous. The robber only wanted her bag yet she wanted to give anything.
I legit spat my drink all over my sheets at the "You Fucking Bastard" moment with Hitler and laughed until I was crying. I NEED that book in my life.
"I HAVE A BAD CASE OF DIARRHEA."
