Learn English as you exercise. TV in Japan presents (via YouTube) Zuiikin English. These mesmerizing videos feature a short dramatic sequence followed by phrase repetition while aerobic exercising.

The original uploader has some more links to excerpts here. The show apparently dates from the early 1990s. The website of the Japanese TV channel rebroadcasting the show.

  • "Please spare my life-2-3-4"
  • I'm seeing a big opportunity for pr0n here.
  • Monkeyfilter: I'm seeing a big opportunity for pr0n here
  • hwhut? just what? hahahaha.
  • Monkeyfilter: I'm seeing a big opportunity for pr0n here NSFW unless your boss likes biki'd japanese girls. Another TVINJAPAN link.
  • Here's the "please spare my life" one.
  • Take anything you want. Take it, baby. It's a common misconception that people in America are regularly mugged by fat white guys who couldn't wear a bandana properly if their life depended on it.
  • Okay, since we're opening up a can of Youtube. There's this Japanese English-as-Second-Language crazy freako funny gameshow. Make sure you ARE NOT DRINKING BEVERAGES while watching. It takes a minute to figure out what they're doing...hang on until they get to the bit where the guy's doing the numbers...
  • The thing I hate about Youtube is it gets all over everything unless you have like a million towels. What? It does!
  • Youtube is for watching, not squeezing. Of course that'll make a mess!
  • Sounds to me that someone is having YouLube issues.
  • Loooooosseeeeeeeeeee!!
  • *sigh* it's hard to believe that these people get 6 years of English education sometimes....
  • i've been internally chanting "i was robbed by two men" for almost a day now. can't get it out of my head.
  • Oh, "HA HA HA!" - "Japanese people are stupid! We foreign devils are superior in terms of culture and productivity!" Once again, the mindless and racist pond-scum of MoFi belches its noxious stupidities into the hitherto-fragrant logosphere, obscuring the sweet zephyrs of truth with a clogging miasma of pathetic jealousy and malodorous toss. Honestly - do you sub-humans ever tire of the constant faecal ejaculations of hatred that well up from your bile-soaked innards - your coughing and spewing up of inanities, like some shit-breathing Vesuvius? It's fairly obvious that the sophisticated demos of Nipponia view your so-called "English language" as a communicatory system for FOOLS and MENTALLY SUBNORMAL PERSONS. It's no wonder, then, that they should choose to point out the very ludicrousness of this tongue by juxtaposing learning the language with other, more worthwhile, activities - such as star-jumping or game-showing. The only reason you people don't see that is that you are - every one of you - persistent and unredeemable slug-fuckers. How I despise every last one of you, and I will certainly be petitioning my ancestors tonight - with the appropriate Shinto ceremonials - that you all succumb to a cucumber plague. May you never experience the pleasure of eating a fresh, crunchy cucumber again, you bunch of scum - and may your tzatziki crust over with a mould as thick as your australopithecine brows.

  • Japanese instruct... HA! Haw! HA! Good-Un!* *geddit? GEDDIT? Pay no attention to Quid. He's upset because no one wants to molest his foul and rotting corpse anymore. He misses the hugs.
  • Pay no attention to Quid Oh, like you have to tell people THAT.
  • > Pay no attention to Quid. who?
  • Sorry I was making a sandwich, did someone say something? *chews*

  • I would like to molest Quid's moldering corpse.
