Zuiikin English WTF???

Postby Greener » Tue Dec 06, 2005 11:45 pm

Watching sky cable and came across a show that just blew my fucking mind. On Fuji TV at 11:00-Midnight or so there is this show called Zuiikin English. It is the most horrid tv show I have ever seen that teaches J-Folk English.

The show shows bad video clips of real life situations where someone will need English. With every phrase it is seguayed into an Aerobics Video sequence where 3 cute J-Girls doing a workout routine while chanting the phrase in English to the awful casio music.

Stuff like:

"I could eat a horse"
"May I try this on?"
"Could you give me a discount?"
and the immortal...
"I Think you are overcharging."

Are all done to music and workout routines ad nausium throughout the show. Does anyone else know this show? I need that one taped too if anyone has access to a VCR. There is a reward for anyone who can pull this off.

Rob Pongi: You need to get these girls to do your web tv show ASAP!

Needless to say this show is crazed!

Also,

I'm not sure if this is a daily show or not but it's Tuesday and this show is wraping up so my best guess is that it is on Tuesday nights.

Seems to be a rerun of a 1992 show...

This site and the related "bekkan" contain countless still images from cheesy 80's & 90's Japanese TV.

Saw this on CNN today. Seems that somebody has found them and submitted to CNN for "Shot of the day" from Anderson Cooper's 360. and also included a small video of people copying the Japanese one. I thought - damn - this has been on FG for years!! *snerk*
