We used to see viral videos like this:

But now we see viral videos like this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ncUH4ClNe0


And this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHTWtxBIvFU

The quality is declining.

Yeah, last video guy was annoying as was 2/3 of his friends.

All credit to the guy for learning Korean as well as he has but when I see foreigners who've learned Korean well try to overly act/be "Korean" for the cameras then it makes me want to punch them in the face.

He'll do well based on the Korean love he's received in the You Tube comments but it's not hard to put on the act.

Mentioned Dokdo belongs to Korea? Check!
Mentioned East Sea is correct? Check!
OTT acting about how delicious Korean food/snacks are? Check!

He would fit in well performing on any of the childish Korean variety shows.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Korea needs some Denny's here to get some viral videos of some mayhem. Either that or some dashcam driver fail compilations ala Russia.

Maybe he's rejected his culture because Korean culture is superior.

He was English. The UK is basically a rotting piece of cabbage nowadays after all.

There are so many Korean car accident compilations. How do so many drivers roll their cars over multiple times with out hitting anything or no ice or snow present. Truly amazing.

Yeah, and also perpetuating the myth that foreigners can't eat spicy food. I actually had a kimbap place tell me they watered down my food. I kindly told them to make it spicier.

The fact that they brought up Dokdo is just pathetic.

BTW, which d-bag? More than one fits the category. Videos about living in Korea?

At 2:30
Follow me...
Absolutely classic.

Be careful if you have a sensitive nature...some of the accidents are brutal...especially near the end.

Hey, I have to give props at dude at 1:00 for keeping cool. 4:44 was brutal though.

I wonder if any of the other videos feature those tractors that drive on the road in the countryside or some ajosshi on a Rascal.
