I love that Pika is the bridge between the Japanese viewers and the English viewers. It's like we're in two seperate cells of an insane asylum, and she's the warden that's acting as the messenger.
She is the reason why Hololive and Nijisanji started to hire english speaking Vtubers. Pikamee has more subs and donations than her two friends combined. Also, viewers in western countries are more generous. $100 donations are not uncommon. Japanese viewers are more frugal coz majority are still schoolkids.
I think Pika only being 90% fluent in English is why her conversing in English is so funny. She's like an unspoiled baby with little knowledge when it comes to Western memes and jokes. And then she just starts dropping F-bombs when she gets mad.
And the funniest part of she getting mad is that the angrier she gets, the better her english pronunciation gets (Sorry if there are typos, english isn't my first language)
I don't know if this was the motivation behind it but in the show what we do in the shadows there is an annoying emotional vampire that feeds on human life force by annoying them and he used this joke in the show.
This is the perfect ending to this saga. She doesn't get the joke, even when it's explained to her, and continues the Chaotic Neutral energy right up to the end. I'm satisfied.
So here's a bit of cultural context for Pikamee and yall here. The reason why she was confused is that in Japanese, calling someone "dog" is actually an insult. We however just say "dog" or "dawg" as a sign of endearment to our friends.
I mean, bitch is a term for a female dog, so it’s understandable that most languages typically infer negativity from associating people with dogs giving the connotations with their subservience and all. (Dog of the government etcetera)
The fact that she got to the level of fluency where she sounds like a native speaker but then has never heard something as simple as "what's up, dog?" before is so fascinating.
i love how whenever chat responds with "nothing much, how bout you?" pikamee responds with the same "oh, how about you?" in the same tone over and over
This girl has like the perfect American accent, while still having a perfect Japanese one, too. It's like flipping a switch from on to off. P.S.: There's actually a brand of vegan hotdogs named Updog. So now Updog is a real thing.
@Capitalist Monkey Why eat Panda Express when you can get authentic Chinese food? Why eat US styled Pizza when you can have the original Italian Pizza? Why eat out when you can just make food at home? Let people eat whatever they want my dude. There's no unwritten rule that you should eat the original of something or whatnot.
@Capitalist Monkey gotta disagree with that one, diet coke just sucks because aspartame doesn't have the same sweetness as sugar, but I've had "meatless meat" that's pretty much the same as normal meat.
I love that after she clarified it means "friend" all the Japanese viewers start spamming "wan,wan" lol it's so cute. I love understanding others cultures and that we can joke with them in the same fashion
I miss early day Pikamee. Probably the only Vtuber I would watch live. Never felt the same as she evolved and had the costume change , and then transferred over to Henya
Pika is a good example of having a decent grasp on textbook English. But not understanding a lot of the informal language we actually use in day to day conversation. What that means is she is vulnerable to the cheesiest of jokes.
O God in heaven bless you, I needed this so much right now after last night. You do not know how much stress you just took off my shoulders and my heart.
To be fair it's "dawg" which is slang for a homie or someone you regularly spend your free time with aka a friend so it would be You "Sup, dawg" Homie replies "Not much. How bout'chu?" Only urbanites in their 40s+ would still be talking like that today.
i honestly thought Pikamee was a native english speaker and just now checked her about channel tab and realized i am wrong... she sounds so natural i love it, also her japanese voice sounds like that type of anime girl thats super out going and always has a fun time regardless of the situation, yall know what im talking about.
We always talk about how cute new Pikamee's model But I think her old model is pretty simplistic and cute as well Couole that with her loveable personality just adds it through the roof
Eng People :- Nonono,Whats up Dog is supposed to mean "WhatsUp dawg" which is a slang for Whats up Dude. Jap People :- *Nope, We dog now.* (wan wan intensifies)
I really like vtubers because such jokes become a pure chaotic joke and no one gets offended. They just become chaos too, like an infection spreading to each other and acting the same thing. Lol

western greeting joke sends viral vtuber pikamee into a dog harem

no she got the joke eventually
Translating puns is hard lol.
@@tdelfino2509 win-win situation
@@yukinosu-269 I think you meant a wan-wan situation

That one guy in chat: "POGGERS"
I would also say POGGERS if she called anyway she wants.
Her still not getting the joke the 3rd time and replying with "How about you" with so much enthusiasm every time just makes my day.
Feels like she thought "how about you" was a greeting.

French is the same, dog is an insult
Dog in America can be used as an insult or as a means to signal friends. It all depends on context
@Tum Tum If you called someone a dog to something it means you are a slave and can't think for yourself. Pretty insulting
Let’s call our friend korone so everyone is happy
Inter-language miscommunications will never stop making me laugh
だろ？
Absolutely legendary moment, erik's persistence finally paid off! 😎👍
😳
The fact that she got to the level of fluency where she sounds like a native speaker but then has never heard something as simple as "what's up, dog?" before is so fascinating.
This is like replying “Who’s Joe Mama?” to a Joe Mama meme
The circle never ends
EN-niki: can't explain well enough
JP-niki: can't understand the meme in the first place
Pika: confused
EN-JP hybrid niki: I gotcha bro
The biggest "explaining a joke to your grandparent" energy and I love it
Japanese chat: Oh so it means friend? LET US BARK IN SOLIDARITY WITH OUR ENGLISH SPEAKING FRIENDS!
That’s actually wholesome lol
Chat: *tries to prank Pikamee*
Chat: *turns into dogs instead*
"Everyone is becoming a dog"
Best conclusion to an updog joke ever.
i love how whenever chat responds with "nothing much, how bout you?"
pikamee responds with the same "oh, how about you?" in the same tone over and over
I can only imagine the absolute battle that is Amano "Joke Killer" Pikamee and Ninomae "Dad Jokes" Ina'nis.
Monoe and Ina is the battle I'd pay to see...
I would love to see the EN girls collabing with people outside of Hololive.
Pikamee and Ina collab is like my dream collab haha. Basically my two favorite vtubers.
Your dreams have come true.

Nice clip, and great editing. Mission accomplished
This is why we love Pikamee. Isn't she just the best friend you could ask for?
We are now pikamee's dog. Hmm? Hang on a sec, I need to open my front door-
updog is old. it's all about updoc now.
"ehh, **eats carrot** what's up, doc?"
Papyrus: "What is updog?"

Its all the dogs lol
I'm proud
I'm so proud
Have you hard of updog?
No, what is that?
LMAO
I'm surprised how much JP bros know about our memes. Their recommendation is on point every time.
When people started barking in chat, she should've just stole Korone's catchphrase... YUBI YUBI!
Pika : "So you guys want me to call u dog?"
Oversea bros : "well it's not what we meant but it awaken something inside... wan wan"
This brings such joy, happiness and smiles to my face and soul it's just...wow.
Yeah
No "what's up"
Only "Dog"
I love how the joke doesn't really translate well, since it's slang but in the end it still became ridiculously funny.
I'm glad shes back but I truly miss this voice
"Wait... there all dogs??"
"Always have been"
Nobody talking about how everyone was spamming Joe Mama?
Who’s Joe?
@@noobmaster258 oh nononono

- JOE MAMA
- BARK BARK
Honestly the most rewarding outcome I've seen so far for this joke. Even after they explained it it was still funny xD
I miss early day Pikamee. Probably the only Vtuber I would watch live. Never felt the same as she evolved and had the costume change , and then transferred over to Henya
I'm dying
Pika: "What's up dog?"
Everyone: "We got 'er, boys."
Pikamee's "language barrier" ability makes her immune to updog-type attacks.
So glad this was clipped choked on my water so hard during live
"So, it's okay to call you guys "dog" ?"
Chat: *Y E S*
The moment Pikamee turned into Makima.
Pika is a good example of having a decent grasp on textbook English. But not understanding a lot of the informal language we actually use in day to day conversation.
What that means is she is vulnerable to the cheesiest of jokes.
Yet she understands handjobs and hos. Priorities, lol.

Ah Pikamee. You're too pure for words.
That's some makima energy right there
*“Not much, how about you?”*
Excuse you, the correct response to _”what’s updog?”_ is “Not much, _what’s up with you?”_ smh

This is my favorite Pikamee clip in the world. The language crossover is so wholesome. 🥰 watched this like five times now
Thank you for clipping this legendary moment.
aww she is so pure and innocent that she doesn't get it. Also it kind of makes sense since i don't think she knows all that much english slang.
