Japanese people are angry with me... [Awg_cm2Zllk]

Hello and welcome back to my show where we

talk about the serious issues in life.

You see, that's sarcasm. Why don't some

people understand what sarcasm is? So last

week I uploaded a video titled Why I Hate

Living in Japan, and in general it got

good feedback. The majority of people

noticed that I wasn't being serious. They

noticed that it was a joke video, but

there were also hundreds and hundreds of

people who didn't seem to understand that

I wasn't being serious. The joke went

straight over their heads and they got

upset and offended. The majority of the

English comments were good comments. They

were saying things like they found the

video funny and it was entertaining,

which was the whole point of the video,

really. I also got several Japanese

comments from Japanese people who wrote in

Japanese, and they weren't very happy

about this video. Nearly all of the

comments that were written in Japanese by

Japanese people were written by Japanese

people. Shut up, Daniel. What I'm trying

to say is that all of the comments that

were written in Japanese by Japanese

people were negative comments, very

hateful comments towards me. They were not

happy about me complaining about their

special country, and they told me to get

out of Japan and go home. Can you believe

that? I have a sneaky suspicion that these

Japanese people didn't actually watch the

video And I have a suspicion that they

don't know how to speak English, or they

have a very poor understanding of English.

Otherwise, why would they have written the

comments in Japanese to me, a non-Japanese

person? You should write your comments in

English if you want a non-Japanese person

to understand what you're saying.

Fortunately, I know how to speak Japanese,

and I read their comments. And basically,

all they were saying was, if I don't like

it here, then I should go home. No one's

asking me to be here in the first place.

Why am I here anyway? Go back to England.

If they watched the video properly, they

would have heard me say in the first 15

seconds that I don't actually hate living

in Japan, but here's a few reasons why I

dislike living in Japan. So I think they

just saw the title of the video which says

hate and Japan, and then they clicked it,

wrote their stupid little comment, and

then pissed off without even watching the

bloody thing properly. Okay, so let's say

they actually watched the video properly

and they know English well enough to be

able to understand what I was talking

about. So why get so offended? The main

things I was complaining about was food.

I said that I didn't like the bacon and

crisps, and they told me to get out of

their country and go home. Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know Japanese people had so much

pride in their bacon and crisps. Oh yes,

Japan, the country that's famous for its

bacon and bloody crisps, said no one ever.

I think it's kind of funny that these

people got so worked up and upset because

a foreigner complained about their

terrible imitations of Western food. Can

you imagine what they would do if someone

criticized their country for the actual

problems it has? Which there are many.

You know, things like aging population,

or the fact that they overwork themselves

to the point where they actually die at

work, or the fact that they need

women-only carriages on trains because

sexual harassment is rampant. What about

the high rates of suicide? Maybe because

they have no sense of humor and take

everything 100% seriously and can't take a

joke. No, let's crucify the guy that

complains about our bacon and crisps

because those are really important things

that we need to get upset over. I felt

pretty disappointed that these people

responses to someone not liking their food

is to tell them to fuck off and get out of

their country. I think that's a pretty

immature and childish way of handling

criticism. And if the main complaint

someone has about your country is the

bacon and crisps, then you should take

that as a huge compliment because those

are tiny, trivial, unimportant things.

Just because I'm in someone else's country

doesn't take away my right to complain or

criticize things in this country. If you

went to a country where it was perfectly

okay to push people off cliffs, would you

just keep quiet about it because you're in

their country and that's what they do?

No, you have to speak out about things if

you want to make changes. How are Japanese

people supposed to know that their bacon

tastes like garbage if no one points out

to them that it tastes like garbage? How

are they supposed to fix the problem if no

one points out the problem in the first

place? I have a vision of Japan where in

the future you can walk into any

supermarket, pick up a pack of bacon,

Proper bacon, not that cheap, nasty

imitation ham rubbish. Go home, chuck it

into a frying pan, fry yourself up some

nice crispy rashers of bacon, put it on

some toast, and then pour on a thick

covering of baked beans. Is that so much

to ask for? Some people have been saying,

why don't you just buy a piece of pork,

slice it thinly, sprinkle some salt on it,

and fry it? That's not the same as bacon.

Bacon is a special, unique piece of meat.

Which has been cured by salt. It's been

immersed in a salty brine solution over 24

hours, and it's a very complicated and

time-consuming process. This is what gives

the bacon its bacon flavor, which we all

know and love. You can't just get any

piece of pork and then fry it and expect

it to taste the same as bacon. That's like

getting your tripod leg and then using it

to stimulate your prostate and expecting

it to feel as good as a proper dildo. I

think I broke my tripod. So I just went

out to buy some Japanese bacon, and look,

you can instantly see the problem with

Japanese bacon. Number 1, it's way too

thin. Bacon is supposed to be thick. Ham

is thin, bacon is thick. That's the number

1 difference between ham and bacon.

Number 2, look at the shape. Why is it

rectangle? Bacon isn't supposed to be

rectangle. It's supposed to be, you know,

that bacon shape where it's, it's kind of

round and then It has a bit of fat for the

tail. This isn't what bacon is supposed to

look like. Number 2, look at how small

these slices are.

It's about as long as my fingers,

and that's, that's not very long. This

doesn't really look like a proper piece of

meat. It's way too small. It's too flimsy

and thin. What are you supposed to do with

it? This, this isn't bacon. I'm very

disappointed. This doesn't meet up to my

standards. Okay, so the next thing we're

going to do, we're going to fry this bacon

up in the frying pan and we're going to do

a taste test. So here's the problem I have

with Japanese kitchens. Number one,

they're very small, and number two,

everything takes a long time. For example,

to heat up this frying pan, watch how long

it takes. It will take at least a

couple of minutes until that frying pan is

hot enough so we can start frying our

rubbish bacon. Also, even the lights—

look, this is a light switch.

That's how long it took to turn on the

light. It took at least 5 or 6 seconds

until the light actually switched itself

on. This cupboard is very poorly made.

It's extremely difficult to open this

cupboard when your fingers are wet because

there's not much to grip on this shiny,

slippery knob. It's okay when your hands

are dry, but after I finish doing the

washing up and I want to open the cupboard

My fingers are wet and it's extremely

difficult to open this because it's so

slippery and there's hardly anything to

grip onto. Hey, so it's 5 minutes later

and the bloody frying pan has finally

heated up and we can start cooking our

Japanese bacon. So look at this. This is a

slice of Japanese bacon. It feels like

ham. I can feel the texture just by

touching it. And it's just like ham.

Okay, let's pop in our first slice and

our second slice.

Would you like a slice as well? I guess I

can make lunch for both of us since you're

here already. There's no point wasting

decent food. Well, I say decent.

Substandard food, I guess.

Now I can already smell the bacon smell.

The thing is, this isn't what bacon is

supposed to smell like. It smells like

frying ham. When I fry bacon back in

England, there's a very different smell.

This isn't what bacon is supposed to smell

like when it's being fried.

Here's one of my secrets when it comes to

cooking bacon. I like to, I like to

sprinkle some basil on. It does improve

the flavor a slight bit, just a little

bit. You don't want to overpower the bacon

flavor with the basil flavor.

And here is the finished result. I tried

to cook it as much as I could before it

started burning, but I couldn't get it to

go crispy. It's still kind of soggy and We

have lots of excess fat oil that we

just need to dispose of.

So here it is, the finished product.

Fully cooked, fully seasoned. One slice

of Japanese bacon. Let's go in for the

taste test.

Okay, I take it back. It is slightly

crispy, but still it doesn't taste

like bacon. Just tastes like ham. There's

no bacon texture, there's no bacon flavor.

I guess you can't say it's not crispy. It

is kind of crispy, but it's not as crispy

as British bacon. That's the point that

I'm getting at.

Here, why don't you try some? Open wide.

Um, um, um, um, um. See, it's horrible.

It's absolutely horrible, isn't it?
