on some other skits, he's said the same thing 'nan hanguk mal molla' and other random phrases

its so funny

I am no one to second guess the comedic genius of that skit but I think it could have been even funnier and more true to life if the two men had settled the fight with a round of rock-paper-scissors instead of the arm wrestling.

What this thread reminds me of: Way back when I was studying Korean. I had three good buddies who were studying with me. Good drinking & carousing buddies.

Well, there was one female teacher we had who was considerably older than the rest. Mrs. Hong. She was in her 40s, a bit short, definitely in the ajumma mould. Strangely though, my three friends started making favourable comments about her, all three of them, over drinks, on the way home from class, whenever. This went on for days, and I was totally not seeing it. "C'mon, are you guys serious? You can't be!"

But they insisted they were dead serious, that they thought she was teh hawt, and they'd all be in complete sync about every little detail, in perfect harmony on what they considered were her most attractive features. They'd get that far-away look as they each talked about her.

I laughed, I scoffed, I insisted they weren't being serious, couldn't be serious. I knew their taste in women, it was about the same as mine, and this lusting after Ajumma Hong was just freaky & farked up. Made no sense at all to me.

After about a week of this, slowly but surely, they started to turn me, damn it. I started checking out Mrs. Hong, searching desperately for any signs of her supposed 'hawtness', and I began to see some (which may or may not have been there ). I'd chime in half-heartedly when they were singing her praises. Then I began to make more fulsome affirmations of her MILF-iness. In the midst of one of these adulatory musings, one guy started cracking up and then the others exploded in laughter. It had all be one big nasty put-on, a cruel plot they'd hatched behind my back, a group mind-control experiment to get me to embarrass myself. And it worked.

I'm not falling for it now, though. I don't think the clip was very funny, and nobody's going to fark with my mind this time. I snickered once or twice, but that's all it gets.

Do you have any pictures of this Hong Ajumma woman?
