| The Korean one was funnier, I think, after the initial shock of the first one wears off. |

The Japanese one was posted here a year or more ago. It's still bizarrely fascinating. Kind of like a car wreck along the highway. It's funny because it is serious.
The Korean one showed no humor, wit or creativity. And no point. |

Oh Lord, just had an asthma attack laughing at them both 
Trouble is I can't decide what's funnier, that or the espisode of Surreal Life when Gary Coleman got furious with his errant celebrity staff and stormed out of that charity "Run a Fast Food Restaurant for a Day" event on the show. |

Shows a difference between the Japanese and Koreans. Like Vulcan versus Ferengi.
Absolutely loved the parody over the satire (but gotta watch the first one to set up the second).
What fun! |

Yup, japanese one was truly bizarre
Korean one on the other hand, couldn't even get thru it; is there a shortage of korean girls or something? |

| This was so unreal and funny. I've heard of this stuff before. They almost sounded like Fat Bastar* when they said I was robbed by two men. The two almost sounded Scottish:) |

Notice how the Japanese video got two Caucasians to play the robbers and how the Korean video did just fine playing the roles themselves, even pronouncing better. College students of the hagwon generation, having a hoot!

You totally missed the point. It's a parody! |

It's hard to see parody when blinded by racism. |

You mean the anti-Japanese tone of the Korean one? or the anti-Western thrust of the Japanese one?
The Japanese video is as much satiring ESL lesson contents as it is Western (read: American) society.
The Korean video is a parody of the Japanese one, mocking them not merely imitating them. |
