- RoboPimp3000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+59too much information
- kevin.gc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38Another benefit to this method is that you can sit down anywhere while only using your feet as contact spots. Sitting down on wet grass is made bearable with this method. The normal way -- crossing your legs -- would not be pleasant.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34it's funny when one man makes fun of another man for having a small penis. WHO the hell cares how big or small it is if you aren't the one ***** it.
-z00k - hanapbuhay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31"The Asian Squat is not recommended for those with unusually large breasts."
- Gir53457, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31You sound like a fat man in prison.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29I don't feel like an asian anymore, i can't do the damn squat.
- DyDx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25I CAN'T DO IT!
- scojerroc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Italy did bring us pasta. But China brought it to them.
- SakisRakis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19As an American, even giving a lot of effort, I can't stay upright doing the 'asian squat'. I fall over backwards. . .
- actionsketch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19How much you want to bet that near 100% of the people who watched that video in private took a moment to go try the Asian squat?
- jackspade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Two observations
1. the Asian squat seems best suited for people with small butts, whereas the robust american ass tends to pull the person to the ground.
2. The Asian squat leaves you feeling vulnerable, (your butthole feels open.) With the american squat you can tense the butthole muscle and feel protected. - gadgetlust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Or toilet -- this technique is just about the only thing that allows one to use one of those infamous toilets in Japan/India/etc. Western squat + thai food + All you can drink restaurant + squat toilet = ensuing hilarity
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12For those who don't know, many Japanese toilets require you to squat. Although this is becoming less and less common.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JapaneseSquatToilet.jpg - Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12This only works if you don't have a belly or fat legs. If you have a big belly or fat legs, you can't do it since it disrupts your center of gravity.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15I hope you got to know him before he let him squat on you.
- alarion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12no, us western barbarians kill an easterner and sit on them outside.
- strkt9, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11It doesn't work. I fell on my ass when I tried it. Do you have to be Asian to do it? Maybe I am too tall.
- billyswong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9For those who find the "Asian Squat" hard or feeling him/herself falling backward:
Incline your back forward accordingly so that your head is at least directly above your feet. Put your arms to the front of your legs for further balance. (rewind the video to 01:52 for visual reference)
Hope this helps.
p.s. A wider stand mentioned in the video is not required in actual situation. "Asian squat" is available without spreading the feet. In the case of not spreading, the arms shall be in the position of hugging your feet. ( *Choice for girls ;) ) - azzageddi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It is actually called the "sh!t squat" in some circles. Because as someone pointed out, it's the position for using those old-fashioned toilets that are still common in railway stations and old schools in Japan.
Funny thing--squat toilets were until quite recently the norm in Japan, to the extent that you can still find some old Western public toilets that have directions for use posted next to them. But Japan now produces the highest-tech, most wonderful toilet seats in the world. Makes me wonder if they just totally fell in love with Western toilets after centuries of squatting.
"Ah, now I can read the paper in here...hey, wouldn't it be great if this seat was heated? And had a little water jet to clean me off?" - superbonbon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8That was cute and well produced. However, I kept thinking that someone was going to poop.
- humanerror, on 04/03/2008, -4/+12Stupid Westerners can't do squat.
- logicnazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I think the western squat is far easier to get out of quickly. If you think you might need to jump back up or are just picking something up off the ground it seems superior.
Likely this difference comes from the relative need for squating for rest in the two cultures. People in western cultures probably sit on chairs or benches more frequently so they have much less relative need for a resting squat and more need for an active squat while vice versa for asian cultures.
Then again I just pulled this out of my ass.
Now I have to find out what kind of squat my eurasian gf does, but as she pays no attention to asian things it probably won't be very enlightening - adalgiso, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9the Chinese pioneered pasta, but the Italians made it famous.
- nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8It's also good in sandy places. I lived in Dubai for 5 years and there's a large Indian population there. They make up 1/2 of the 2 billion that do the A.S. and I picked it up there. It's much more comfortable! Everything in that video is funny but true as well. You can squat for longer without getting (as?) sore, and chicks love that *****! ;-p
- agimat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"Good tip. My wife went to the Philippines and didn't poo for 2 weeks(not kidding). This would have helped."
Unless she visited some very remote areas it must be for some other reason. Your generic western toilet bowl is the norm back here. - blowhole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"I'm asian, and I always do the western squat. Funny thing, I make fun of the Asian squat, because usually it's done by some ricer boy smoking a little cigarette =)"
Ahaha, so true! Usually some kid with a downy mustache and spiky hair squatting next to his riced up neon green Civic. My friend and I always make fun of this stereotype, and we're both Asian.
I never thought about it this way before, but according to this video I do a 'hybrid' squat. One foot forward and flat on the ground, the other foot slightly back and balancing on the ball of the foot. Best of both worlds! - Gzero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Haha what, I'm asian and I haven't been doing the asian squat.
- stevejobs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11I thought Italy brought us pasta.. I love passive learning.
- ggko, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13We sit on the floor too ... why do you suppose we take our shoes off indoors? The video deals with outdoors. Do you western barbarians always sit on the ground outside?
- leperkuhn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I find it extremely uncomfortable.
- diversionmary, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I never even thought about it. I squat on the balls of my feet, I'll have to try the asian style.
- ynggrsshppr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Being Chinese, I haven't given any thought to this. The so called "asian squat" has always seemed like a natural posture if you want to be in a position for an extended amount of time without sitting. I thought everyone did it.
Because this video was created for comedic value, can anyone help me verify that these differences between westerners and asians do in fact exist? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11"Another benefit is that you can take a ***** comfortably in this position. This is very helpful when you are one wt grass (lol) and there is no bathroom in sight."
its how I normaly take a ***** on the toilet... its alot easyer to push out the ***** in your intestine out, you should try it. A positive side to taking a ***** in a squat position is that your ass cheeks arnt touching the toilet bowl... you have NO IDEA how many people sit on public toilets (special with duck-butter on thier ass) - ByteGuerilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Embracio i extendio?
- diao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I live in China and I see this everyday.
It's not considered very proper if you do it out in public. The working class people use it a lot.
btw, I do the squat easy. - qingshuo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Spread your legs wider and you won't fall over backwards.
- revolvingcur, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I wasn't even conscious of the difference until I tried doing the so-called Asian squat. It really is tremendously more comfortable than the normal way of squatting.
- whiskerlickins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5LMAO. My Korean mother has perfected that squat. She and her friends do that when they're drying chilis and stuff. While I'm not as talented as her, I can do it and it helped keep my legs from falling asleep while camping for a Wii.
- jambaj0e, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm asian, and I always do the western squat. Funny thing, I make fun of the Asian squat, because usually it's done by some ricer boy smoking a little cigarette =)
- Gomek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My feet can't bend enough to do this squat... I fall backwards no matter what I do.
- logicnazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nah some of us are lazy and busy eating sorbet
- zouhair, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Actually we ***** like this in morocco, not that confortable but healthy, especialy in public toilet, so this position is not that sexy.
http://www.blinox.fr/imagescatalogue/WTU172.jpg - drmistermaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4OMG im asian and i just realized i do that squatting so much everyday :(
- smtelegadis, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10Dude, you don't know squat!
- ta10n, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I don't know whether there actually is a difference, but I'm Chinese too and I wouldn't think of doing the "western" squat.
- t.toe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yeah! I can't do it either! at least not as demonstrated in the video. I have to point my feet away from my body to even be able to maintain the position for more than 5 seconds.
- r4NGe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Can't do it...
- Tainek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3its easyer to do the buisiness while squatted, due to the position of the colon and intestines. thus why western culture has the highest amount of constipation complaintes
- geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Good tip. My wife went to the Philippines and didn't poo for 2 weeks(not kidding). This would have helped.
