This is wrong on so many levels

Inspired by a mention on Tochiro's blog... He saw the episode and posted about it. I went looking for it, and here it is:

Saturday Night Live takes on squeeing college weeaboos and their J-Pop show...

I feel like Sensei Mark. Really. Uru.

But Wendy-San!

Are you not the most expert on the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman? teeheeteehee Ohhhhhh!

(that part, the tittering followed by a Peter Fernandez 'Ohhhhh' doesn't make sense. I'm used to Japanese talk shows with the constant "ahhh" and "ma, ne" and "so des' " but not that Ohhhhhhhh! thing)

I hate to say it but I kinda hope they do that bit again. Desu.

Naah. I humbly pass my most honorable expert title to the honorable expert Sensei James Long-sama. Desu.

I think the tittering and Ohhhh! was reference to the idiocy you see on Japanese talk shows. It might also be something of a new trend I haven't been following.

The Nat Geo channel just did a program on the Yakuza. While it was interesting to see how the gangster styles have changed in the past 20 years (they've internationalized their look), Nat Geo still mangles names and can lean toward the cheesy. (Did we really need the repeated reenactment video of one unfortunate gangster's yubitsume? Yeesh!)

Actually, if you want a heaping helping of butthurt, the Crunchyroll forums do provide.
