I really like the ironic (bad) choreography, and the circa 1998 ironic b-boy stylings, co-opting the stylings of an ironic trio of Jewish rappers from 1980's New York. I'm surprised to see nary a popped collar or 80's style sweat or arm band. Which were kitschy (stupid) three years ago.

This is funny in the same way that Boondock Saints is an under appreciated film.

There's a reason Boondock Saints is under-appreciated. It's trite, chockful of unrealistic performances and lapses into bald cliche in a vain attempt at irony. The "twist" ending is laughable, and the movie itself is completely forgettable.

Kickin It is awesome.

Nyah, this video shows more artistic integrity. The obvious fun these guys had making it is apparent, and who cares if you can spot their influences from a mile away? At least they are doing something constructive with their time here, rather than diddling kids or pissing and moaning on message boards.

More artistic integrity than Boondock Saints? I guess, but the bar's pretty low.

I fail to see how this is constructive, and it's not funny. Oh really!? Kimchi and Cass-eu in Korea? These guys are really delving deep in the culture. How topical!

I've been here for three weeks and this is trite.

You'll get over this phase (and hopefully yourself) in good time.
