It could be a coincidence, but a lot of people seem to think Kenny’s seizure might be a reference to the infamous Pokémon episode “Electric Soldier Porygon.” There was a particular scene where one of Pikachu’s electric attacks caused a flashing strobe affect on TV, which resulted in over 600 people watching to be hospitalized after they experienced epileptic seizures. The episode has since been banned, as well as Porygon having little to no screen time in the anime outside of a few cameos. It’s also a large factor in why most media nowadays has epilepsy warnings displayed at the very beginning.
@fudgepacker Glad lights don't bug you. My best friend can't go to concerts, has to be careful with TV etc. Worst seizure she had triggered by strobe light.
Fun fact: Trey Parker has said in an interview that he knew a guy in Japan who always talked about how jealous he is of Americans because they have large penises and the Japanese have small penises. So that running gag did not come from out of nowhere, it came from real life.
4:01 Kenny getting a seizure is spot on for pokemon history. An episode that released, only in Japan, caused a couple of seizures from elderly people watching the show with their grandchildren.
Another awesome reaction. Your Japanese is very impressive. Have you ever considered doing a sort of origins video? Explaining why and how you got into Japanese culture and what led you to make the big decision to move to Japan?
@@dash.reacts After more than a decade in Taiwan I still make lots of language mistakes, too. Just yesterday I meant to tell my building guard that "I already picked up my mail", but ended up saying "I'm already quite skillful." Language blunders make the journey humbling but fun.
I like your genuine way of reacting! You really seem to be authentic in your videos, not exaggerated. Very sympathetic and entertaining! Best wishes from Germany. Keep it up man! 💪🏼🔥
I love that you were translating as you went along. As funny as it is for us it's likely much funnier for you! Looking forward to more of your reactions :D
Wooooooo! They did a really cool breakdown where they talk about how they updated their japanese stereotype for later eps. They visited Japan again and found Japanese people are taught L's better when learning english than when he had last visited. Love the reacts brother!
‘It’s just a fad’ as it’s now 20+ years after Pokemon came out and I’m playing the remake of Pearl on my switch while listening to this video… Preach Trey and Matt, preach.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in the episode commentary they knew this Pokémon stuff had to just be part of a ploy for the Japanese to take Pearl Harbor 🤣
Pokemon was definitely the biggest fad when I was a kid. Also as a born and raised Native Hawaiian, that “try to bomb the harbor” line always makes me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
I love your reactions because all the Japanese stuff I had no clue about and you translating it is the funniest thing ever to just see all the layers of jokes they put into every episode.
In my generation (Gen Z) there were literally so many toys you had just got to have. One of them was BayBlade or Bakugon which I think are both now back on the market.
I've been through a few toy crazes. Pogs, Turtles, Pokémon even Nokia 3310 which were all crazy. But the biggest one I remember was Tamagotchi. I swear every single kid in my school had one. Boys, girls, older kids, younger kids, rich, poor, nerdy, popular. Everyone!
I accidentally came across your channel. What a happy accident! WHAT! I have watched every episode of South Park and a super fan since 1998. Your reactions are priceless 😂 Your Japanese to English translation makes it even more fun. This is one of my favorite South Park episodes. I love you.
@Dash Reacts, if you listen to the creator commentary for this episode, Trey Parker (who also did a Japanese Minor in college) states Chin Poko can be slang for 'Tiny Penis', hence the Tiny Penis joke throughout. My Japanese teachers would never teach us slang, so I just used shokushu in all of my sentences out of rebellion.
Bro after all of these years and alllll the times I've seen this episode I had no idea what they were actually saying. Thank you for the translations! You are the real MVP
This is one of my favorite episodes. That real-world commercial had me rolling so hard laughing the first time I saw it. Wild wacky action bike is one of my favorite moments in south park.
I have watched South Park all of my life, I was awake for the Premier episode when I was a little kid with my Uncle, and today you have taught me so many things I missed culturally! That is awesome and makes me appreciate the shows writing even more than I already did.
it's funny whenever they have a foreign language on South Park they are usually just making up random noises or using rudimentary high school Spanish... but Trey married a Japanese woman one time so they actually use real Japanese.
One of my favorite South Park episodes ever!!! Pokémon was a global phenomenon at the time this aired! Pokémon trading cards and video games were definitely the biggest craze toys of my childhood! I was a kid then so seeing South Park mock Pokémon was especially hilarious!
In elementary school, it was virtual pets in '98, pokemon in '99, and portable consoles in 2002. The one that had the biggest impact were the virtual pets. Kids were bringing them to school, playing them in class, and having them taken by their teachers and the principal. One day in 1998, she got on the intercom and instead of regular morning announcements, she spent the entire announcement period fussing us out about bringing them.
TIL That Chinpokomon is NOT just gibberish to sound like Pokemon but an actual Joke in Japanese. Thanks man! just found you today and am loving the translation of the Japanese
"Unlike Pokemon, which are pocket monsters." I like that pause there, almost like it suddenly hit you that 'pocket monster' could easily be a euphemism for a dick.
I’ve been looking forward to this & am so appreciative that my comment was in the video. Other funny South Park episodes that have Japanense related customs are Whale Whores & City Sushi.
Not sure if you bring it up, but from what I hear, Trey Parker is where the Japanese stuff really came from, since he majored in it and supposedly it was part of his Mormon mission back in the day. Heck, his roommate in college was Japanese. And his first wife was Japanese, from what I gather.
I know I’ve said it before here, but man I’m always stoked to see you’ve posted a SP reaction. (The Keepers was fascinating btw. On the last episode - maybe share some more docu’s you liked🤷🏻♂️).
You saw it?? Awesome! The Keepers was messed up, but it was really well done. I'll have to share some others that I like. Thanks for posting this, Rustin.
Hey dash this is my first time commenting. I just wanted to say I love your videos man you’re my favorite reaction channel out there. I’ve been watching your content for about 5 months now and Im always stoked to see you post a new vid. You’re such a likable and down to earth guy every vid is always hilarious it doesn’t even have to be a reaction vid I’d still watch. Keep doing what you’re doing bro. You’re making a lot of people out there smile and laugh, The world really needs more of that. With that being said, thank you for your videos man. You truly do make a difference.
This comment…is everything. Thank you so so much! When I’m tired, or the views & subs are coming slower than I had hoped…comments like these are a glimmer of “maybe I can make this all work somehow.” I appreciate your words more than you could possibly know.
Pokemon Go was big here in the states with adults too. I never played it myself but I'd see people playing it all the time, sometimes in big groups. My brother in law was really into it I went with him once to a place that was supposed to have a bunch of Pokemon and it was crowded af with people there doing the same thing.
There was a period of a few months in the early 2010s where silly bandz were EVERYWHERE. There were seasonal silly bandz, branded silly bandz, a silly bandz video game. Silly bands inexplicably became a hot commodity on school playgrounds almost overnight, and then they disappeared just as quickly. I'm still finding loose silly bandz at the bottoms of drawers years later.
I remember collecting as many action figures from Batman - The Animated Series, Power Rangers with karate action and Mighty Max Toys (Polly Pocket for Boys) as I could get my hands on. The memories...
The biggest Toy craze in my era was the Legos I swear you couldn’t go anywhere and not buy a Lego set because you were highly uncool if you didn’t have Legos I had 5 sets at home and I would play with my younger brothers before my mom got home from work
This was a great episode, apparently Hirohito and his assistant are character of two guys Matt and Tray interviewed that almost never answered any questions asked of them. Hirohito talking about “How Americans all have big penis’.” is a parade of those conversations. Also the live action adds of Alabama Man and the action bike we’re adds they did for some company that never aired so they fit those into the episode.
I remember when I was younger it was about those little trolls and people would collect those and Garbage Pail kids. And those little round discs I can't remember what the heck they were but people would collect them and they had different images on each one
Thank you for all the translations. Really opens the episode up. Only 21 months late with this question but did you know what Wendy said in the classroom?
Love the reaction and the translations! Btw just wanted to give context to the penis joke - In an interview Matt and Trey stated one time when they were over in Japan, a Japanese man kept telling them how small his penis was while telling them how big Americans were so they decided to add it into the dialogue for this episode
I'm having vivid flashbacks of those fake toy commercials. They had me crying and falling out of my chair back when I first saw this episode. Thanks to the glory of Tivo I could show it to all my friends and torture my lungs all over again.
I was at a park one morning at 7:00 in the morning. I was killing some time before an appointment at the building that was nearby the park. As I'm sitting there I started to notice people gathering. And it was the most eclectic group of people I've ever seen. There was a dude in his maybe seven year old daughter. There was an old lady couple who showed up. A hippie looking dude and his dog. What looks like two young couples that have no association with each other. It was just not the convention of people you would expect. You would expect a Convention of old lady couples or Convention of guys with their daughters or Convention of couples but not this group LOL. And as I'm sitting there I can hear them strategizing how they're going to catch the Pokemon in the park and I realize they were all there to play Pokemon go. I thought it was absolutely insane. They all seem to be having a good time. But there's not a lot of things that'll get me somewhere at 7:00 in the morning. And important appointment will. A doctor's appointment will. A shift at work will. But I'll never get up at 6:00 in the morning and get ready so I can go meet at the park to go catch Pokemon in a video game LOL.
Not sure what it was called in America or Japan or even if it came out in those countries but when I was little we had a craze called pogs, you would have to stack cardboard disks face down and use a plastic or sometimes metallic pog called a flipper I think and throw that down what ever turned over you kept.
Biggest craze of my era was Transformers. How cool you were in school was directly related to whether you had the latest released Transformer or not. Btw this episode is also a play on Furbies which were suspected of stealing intelligence information via voice recording.
I never knew that that meant penis. Omg lol. And I'm glad you translated for us. It was cool to kinda see the episode for the first time in a different way. Actually for all these years I thought that was gibberish they made up. Lol I would never know.
The “Man” in Alabama Man is sung by Trey Parker and you can hear the exact same voice in the soundtrack for “Orgazmo”, Trey & Matt’s project way before south park. I recommend you watch it, it’s amazing.
Was watching this episode and they started talking Japanese and I had no clue what they were saying. So I had to come to the best South Park reaction channel. LOL
When I first moved to Denver CO in 1998 my best friend's kid was nuts about collecting all the Pokomon cards...that stuff was everywhere in Denver.... I was like.. I don't get it.
Fidget spinner memes blew up when I was in high school. So during my freshman year everybody had one. I waited until after the fad has passed to buy one.
It was fun to re-watch this episode with you. I remember wanting a transformers lunch box and I never got one lol. Cabbage patch were the it item in the 80s my aunt had 3 before finally getting me, the only 7yr the only kid one. She waited too long so she had to call work contacts in NY to buy one and fedex it to her here in CA. I got to open a boy cabbage patch kid lol. Im a girl. I was happy though, I called him my little brother. Also Teddy Ruxpin was super cool for a short while that was the IT item, and Ewoks, I still have all of those above, I was lucky my dysfunctional family chose to show love through gifts lol. My favorite was my remote control delorean from back to the future that was awesome.
I’m gonna have to watch every single episode along with you I can’t remember which episodes of Japanese in it but finally I get a translation. Thank you.
Pokemon was definitely the biggest craze when i was a kid. I remember going to the movies to see the first Pokemon movie with MweTwo, Pokemon: The First Movie.
The funniest thing about shoe being one to collect to me is its like a reference to the shoe in monopoly which just seems so out of place and doesn't make sense just being there for any reason other then monopoly has one too
I remember when I was in first grade which was around the late 2000s when Bakugan's were the number one toy that every kid had to have at my school and we would trade and show them off, and I also remember we would lose them at the playground and make a big deal out of it. Those were the days man...

Bakugan and Yugioh were everything to my childhood honestly
@fudgepacker there’s different types. The type triggered by flashing lights is called photosensitive epilepsy
@fudgepacker Glad lights don't bug you. My best friend can't go to concerts, has to be careful with TV etc. Worst seizure she had triggered by strobe light.
They did it in Simpson
It definitely was because Japanese cartoons were causing seizures
Fun fact: Trey Parker has said in an interview that he knew a guy in Japan who always talked about how jealous he is of Americans because they have large penises and the Japanese have small penises. So that running gag did not come from out of nowhere, it came from real life.
Years later and i still want an alabama man😂💯
Alabama MA-YON!!
I'm an alabama man lol
@@ehwrenare you quick and strong and active
I wanted a Wacky Action Bike, myself.
I want a stupid spoiled wh*re video playset!
Thank you for the Japanese translations. It adds so much to the video and this episode.
Same here, he is like a wizard.
Very talented guy 👏
4:01 Kenny getting a seizure is spot on for pokemon history. An episode that released, only in Japan, caused a couple of seizures from elderly people watching the show with their grandchildren.
That episode almost got the anime cancelled
Another awesome reaction. Your Japanese is very impressive. Have you ever considered doing a sort of origins video? Explaining why and how you got into Japanese culture and what led you to make the big decision to move to Japan?
Thank you. I still make tons of mistakes, but I enjoy learning it...even when it gets confusing.
That's a good idea. I may have to do that, Thomas.
@@dash.reacts After more than a decade in Taiwan I still make lots of language mistakes, too. Just yesterday I meant to tell my building guard that "I already picked up my mail", but ended up saying "I'm already quite skillful." Language blunders make the journey humbling but fun.
I've wondered this as well. And fantasized about moving to Japan.
@@dash.reacts Videos of you interacting with your environment, visiting shops, sight seeing would be pretty interesting IMO.
For real very impressive! Awesome to hear the Japanese in this episode translated!
I like your genuine way of reacting!
You really seem to be authentic in your videos, not exaggerated. Very sympathetic and entertaining!
Best wishes from Germany. Keep it up man! 💪🏼🔥
Thank you!!
I love that you were translating as you went along. As funny as it is for us it's likely much funnier for you!
Looking forward to more of your reactions :D
“Garrison-san sabuchii dana” means “Mr. Garrison is such an asshole”
Wooooooo! They did a really cool breakdown where they talk about how they updated their japanese stereotype for later eps. They visited Japan again and found Japanese people are taught L's better when learning english than when he had last visited. Love the reacts brother!
This is awesome, Clint! I wanna watch that breakdown. Thank you 🙏
‘It’s just a fad’ as it’s now 20+ years after Pokemon came out and I’m playing the remake of Pearl on my switch while listening to this video… Preach Trey and Matt, preach.
Never has there been a more accurate depiction of the typical Alabama Man lol
Seriously, Dash translating the Japanese to English makes these things even better.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in the episode commentary they knew this Pokémon stuff had to just be part of a ploy for the Japanese to take Pearl Harbor 🤣
Furby. Furby was the toy craze of my youth. I remember people re-selling them $500. It was like game console re-sellers before that was a thing.
Pokemon was definitely the biggest fad when I was a kid. Also as a born and raised Native Hawaiian, that “try to bomb the harbor” line always makes me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
The Alabama man part made me laugh so hard and I'm from Alabama.
I love your reactions because all the Japanese stuff I had no clue about and you translating it is the funniest thing ever to just see all the layers of jokes they put into every episode.
In my generation (Gen Z) there were literally so many toys you had just got to have. One of them was BayBlade or Bakugon which I think are both now back on the market.
Beyblade’s were massively popular with millennials too. Up there with Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!
Beyblade still rules. I still watch the original 3 all the time.
@@ChristopherJames1993 the original 3 are the only good 1s lol
Whale Whores is another Japan focused episode and a much watch. loved the translations btw
This is amongst my favorite South Park episodes and your knowledge of the language takes it to a whole new level!
It is so cool how you know Japanese and can translate it without subtitles
I've been through a few toy crazes. Pogs, Turtles, Pokémon even Nokia 3310 which were all crazy. But the biggest one I remember was Tamagotchi.
I swear every single kid in my school had one. Boys, girls, older kids, younger kids, rich, poor, nerdy, popular. Everyone!
Trey has a song "now you're a man" where he pronounces "man" that way every time.
Now you're a mowaeooonnnnnn

i once did a japanese minor while in college but got sent to federal prison for it. whats the big deal about trey parker

Haven't watched this episode in years. Thanks for the direct translation haha. Now it makes sense.. or does it? 😂
😂
it's funny whenever they have a foreign language on South Park they are usually just making up random noises or using rudimentary high school Spanish... but Trey married a Japanese woman one time so they actually use real Japanese.
first craze I really remember was a Yo-Yo. They got super popular when I was in 5th grade (1975). I remember having a Duncan Butterfly :)
I mean, this is already 1 of the best SP episodes of all time, but still that cutaway Alabama Man commercial is next level gold.
The " I learned something today" speech at the end of every episode are always deeply though provoking lol
One of my favorite South Park episodes ever!!! Pokémon was a global phenomenon at the time this aired! Pokémon trading cards and video games were definitely the biggest craze toys of my childhood! I was a kid then so seeing South Park mock Pokémon was especially hilarious!
I always thought this episode was hilarious, but now that I know what "chinpoko" means... I fucking love this episode so much 🤣🤣
4:41, this actually happen to Matt and Trey lol.
Alabama man: "I'm not racist. My wife's eye is black."
In elementary school, it was virtual pets in '98, pokemon in '99, and portable consoles in 2002. The one that had the biggest impact were the virtual pets.

One day in 1998, she got on the intercom and instead of regular morning announcements, she spent the entire announcement period fussing us out about bringing them.
Pokemon by far was the biggest craze I've ever seen internationally
TIL That Chinpokomon is NOT just gibberish to sound like Pokemon but an actual Joke in Japanese. Thanks man! just found you today and am loving the translation of the Japanese
I grew up on the Faroe Islands in the early 2000s. And Duel Masters was huge there, all the kids had Duel Masters cards.
"Unlike Pokemon, which are pocket monsters." I like that pause there, almost like it suddenly hit you that 'pocket monster' could easily be a euphemism for a dick.
😂😂 ikr

He-Man figures were huge when I was little. So were Gi-Joe figures, Thunder Cats, WWF wrestling toys, Tonka trucks, etc.
Craze toy here in Colombia when I was like 10? The TMNT Pizza Thrower! In fact, everything related with those awesome turtles
Pokémon Go went crazy around the world. Even during COVID and even this weekend, I saw full-grown adults in droves meet up to play the game together.
Pokemon Go was big here in the states with adults too. I never played it myself but I'd see people playing it all the time, sometimes in big groups. My brother in law was really into it I went with him once to a place that was supposed to have a bunch of Pokemon and it was crowded af with people there doing the same thing.
The Alabama Mayuun voice was Trey Parker! Dude does so many voices it's crazy

Not sure if anyone pointed it out, but the way they sing "man" was also used in this movie Trey and Matt made called Orgazmo.

Oh damn, I've been wanting to know what they say for a long time. Thanks for translating!
I feel like "Shoe" was a subtle reference to Zapdos, which is phonetically close to Zapatos, which in Spanish means shoes
I just love how Kyle is always trying to catch up but it as always a little too late 🤣
Thank you for all the translations. Really opens the episode up. Only 21 months late with this question but did you know what Wendy said in the classroom?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures. Digimon Cards, and SEGA Genesis. Changes to N64 and Playstation, but yeah, the times they do change.

I was born in 80, so the toy craze I remember was Cabbage Patch Kids in the early 80s.
Im 38, married and a roofing welder in the middle east, and last week I bought two battle styles booster packs...
Was watching this episode and they started talking Japanese and I had no clue what they were saying. So I had to come to the best South Park reaction channel. LOL
2:22 well this is a personal thing, for me it’s Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Which was the first Zelda game I ever played back in primary school
first time i've encountered ur channel. I loved south park since I was a child and I really enjoyed watching ur reaction of an episode. Keep it up.
GI Joe, He-Man, WWF wrestlers and Transformers.
Bakugan were the coolest toys on the playground bro. I loved my Pyrus Dragonoid.
Transformers, Star Wars, GI Joe, He-Man. Basically 80's stuff.
When I first moved to Denver CO in 1998 my best friend's kid was nuts about collecting all the Pokomon cards...that stuff was everywhere in Denver.... I was like.. I don't get it.
5:05 the fact you know what they said is amazing. I’ve always wondered what he said
1:40 Who is him? MintBerry Crunch😂? However I collected them all on Stick of Truth, the “Incredible” Shoe too ad Clyde’s fortress
fidget spinners were the toy that everyone would have in my class.
When i went to kiddy school it was all about pogs/Milk caps and yoyo's.. Still got a few Slammers in a drawer somewhere!
The craze toy of my generation were fidget spinners
Ahhh, yes! Fidget spinners! Thanks for sharing.
Was awaiting this for long time thanks a ton, like always love your reactions, especially here as it was Japanese 👌🏼🙏🏽
Thanks, Vinay 🙏

She waited too long so she had to call work contacts in NY to buy one and fedex it to her here in CA. I got to open a boy cabbage patch kid lol. Im a girl. I was happy though, I called him my little brother. Also Teddy Ruxpin was super cool for a short while that was the IT item, and Ewoks, I still have all of those above, I was lucky my dysfunctional family chose to show love through gifts lol. My favorite was my remote control delorean from back to the future that was awesome.
Monster in my pocket was the collectible craze when I was a young kid.
I’m gonna have to watch every single episode along with you I can’t remember which episodes of Japanese in it but finally I get a translation. Thank you.
Pokemon was definitely the biggest craze when i was a kid. I remember going to the movies to see the first Pokemon movie with MweTwo, Pokemon: The First Movie.
The funniest thing about shoe being one to collect to me is its like a reference to the shoe in monopoly which just seems so out of place and doesn't make sense just being there for any reason other then monopoly has one too
I would say everything you mentioned - but the one that stands out was Furby - everyone had to have one and they were no where to be found.
I love how as hard as southpark tends to rip on japan, they still make sure to use the actual language.
I remember when I was in first grade which was around the late 2000s when Bakugan's were the number one toy that every kid had to have at my school and we would trade and show them off, and I also remember we would lose them at the playground and make a big deal out of it. Those were the days man...
This is one of my favourite South Park episodes. So good.
