In comparison, I thought it was more amusing that the guy mispronounced the word for salt, instead using the word for orange blossom, and the interviewer had to correct him on the proper usage of those words. I watched the interview too and also didn't find the content of the interview that interesting. It was the laughter that made it...

Here, you can see the longer original video with English captions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDiB4rtp1qw&t=0s Because of his maniacal laughter, the video generated lots of spoofs on the Internet. Last Friday, I came across a funny one that was about science. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaNtz76dNSI So I decided to adapt it to sumo. I'm glad that so many people liked it! ... which is pretty much what Randomitsuki-san said. Randomitsuki's spoof is brilliant and could much more easily explain the maniacal laughter than the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We sat facing each other in my living room, totally absolutely silent, eyes occasionally darting from one person to another. Then involuntarily somehow, one of us started to snigger, which turned into a giggle, which turned into a chuckle, and in the end all three of us were doubled over, gasping for breath, eyes watering, after 10 solid minutes of non-stop laughing fit, feeding on each other's utter silliness. It was glorious. And it is very healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone should definitely make a parody of the Downfall about this basho. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the old forum version there was some page for that, I haven't seen anything like that in the new version. I also have never yet seen the heart decoration the first post with the video got, shows "This is a popular post" on mouse-over. Apparently for 50 likes - or what is the number necessary?
