- sideshowRAHEEM, on 11/07/2007, -1/+215I have almost 400 cable channels and none of them have ever aired anything as entertaining as this.
- adraft, on 11/07/2007, -2/+153I feel like Japanese TV shows us all the kind of research a really bored scientist would do.
I wish an American broadcaster would catch on and make one of these shows and keep all of the corny charm. - inactive, on 11/07/2007, -1/+128I love how the Japanese put EPIC music in everything.
- Gryffydd, on 11/07/2007, -2/+124I love how he can't even run very fast. It looks like everything in his body is still telling him to walk.
- blobdole, on 11/07/2007, -1/+107Running is when, at some point, you are not touching the ground.
- NickMilne, on 11/06/2007, -2/+87"What if they were attacked by samurai" would likely be enough to sustain an entire series in its own right, actually, quite apart from taking time to ask and answer other questions. Send a small horde of screaming ronin at famous people, people with certain jobs, people in unusual places, etc., and televise the results. Hell, you could even switch it up with ninjas during sweeps.
Who wouldn't watch it? The answer is nobody. - adraft, on 11/07/2007, -3/+67Lies, no one is a modern day samurai. Didn't you see in that movie that Tom Cruise was the last of em?
- Kilrog, on 11/06/2007, -2/+65We don't get fun shows like this in the U.S. because people file lawsuits for anything and everything.
- suprememilo, on 11/06/2007, -2/+47We have Mythbusters, its at least in the same boat as this.
- Slashriffs, on 11/07/2007, -2/+41For power walking, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times
- elishagrey, on 11/06/2007, -0/+37It's Jefferson Perez, Ecuadorian champion race walker.
- navitatl, on 11/06/2007, -0/+32Now I'm not entirely sure, and I will need at least 5 other digg users to back me up, but MAYBE it's that you have to be touching the ground at all times.
- scubakyle, on 11/08/2007, -3/+33"He's running. Anyway you at it."
What? - tankdilla, on 11/06/2007, -1/+29There was this cool samurai that had his own show, his name was Jack, and his show was called "Samurai..." something...
- thefandango, on 11/07/2007, -3/+31scientists have been baffled by this for years. they say it could lead to a new energy source, perhaps enabling interstellar travel.
- edenseager, on 11/07/2007, -2/+29I wish, WISH English television was as entertaining than this...
- Willrocks, on 11/07/2007, -10/+36Lies! They're are modern day samurais. I mean where else would Uma Thurman get hanzo swords?
- Psythik, on 11/06/2007, -0/+24Yeah, I'm pretty sure the fact that he's speaking in Spanish and that his shirt says "Ecuador" gives it away...
- saralk, on 11/05/2007, -5/+27Spoiler: Yes
- xxTazxx, on 11/04/2007, -3/+20A DOUBLE NEGATIVE! CLEVER, BUT NOT CLEVER ENOUGH!
- najdorf, on 11/06/2007, -0/+16∀t ∃ foot s.t. foot ∩ ground ≠ { }
- Godlesswanderer, on 11/04/2007, -0/+16You're thinking of a ninja. Samurai weren't the "black blur then you're dead" type, they were more of the "run at you screaming then you're dead" type.
- mheisel, on 11/04/2007, -0/+15Right you are Ken.
- diggB, on 11/04/2007, -1/+16(Raises hand and waves eagerly) I would! I would! I would!
- navitatl, on 11/04/2007, -0/+15They usually don't scare the ***** out of random people though, and that's part of what makes japanese shows so awesome.
- DMCer, on 11/06/2007, -2/+16This isn't YouTube. Make an effort to leave a decent comment.
- xaxxon, on 11/07/2007, -0/+14that's why you see these guys' hips going crazy -- moving back and forth to try and get every last little bit of push out of each step.
- Error601, on 11/04/2007, -0/+13Looks like something right out of the Monty Python skit to me.
- Godlesswanderer, on 11/04/2007, -1/+13I can't tell if you're saying that there are modern day samurai or that they are modern day samurai.
- jasg, on 11/05/2007, -4/+16google it biatch !
- ahoyhoy, on 11/04/2007, -0/+11"I got a great idea for a movie, 'The Last N***r on Earth' staring Tom Hanks"
- inactive, on 11/04/2007, -1/+12HAHAHA! That was the funniest thing i've seen in a long time! i'm still chuckling as i write this with tears in my eyes!
- Godel, on 11/04/2007, -1/+11I think they left "look" out of the subtitles.
- Treshnell, on 11/04/2007, -0/+10The Japanese make amazing television programs.
- defy, on 11/04/2007, -0/+9Epic music for an epic experiment!
- jmpeagle, on 11/04/2007, -0/+8how can his foot and the ground be contained in the same set? They are bordering but they never overlap. A better mathematic way would have been to say that at any point there exists a foot for which the distance between foot and ground is strictly less than an arbitrarily small epsilon
- thebillgonadz, on 11/04/2007, -0/+8It would be better than half the crap they put on anyway.
- latrosicarius, on 11/04/2007, -0/+8"We explained Mr. Perez that there's no samurai in modern Japan"
^ lol - crimson138, on 11/04/2007, -0/+7He is they are are modern day samurais.
- Nereus90, on 11/04/2007, -0/+7Man, I love Samurai Jack, they should not have canceled it.
- GeckoSlayer, on 11/04/2007, -0/+7Haha Chasers rock, you can download their episodes for free from:
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/vodcast/
It only shows 4 videos, but if you do a bit of crafty URL renaming, you can get all of the episodes. - azimir, on 11/04/2007, -0/+7Sadly enough, I understood that.
- navitatl, on 11/05/2007, -2/+9I hate that break.com video player, it's such a piece of crap. I refuse to use it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WFkCjQAltc - brjndr, on 11/03/2007, -0/+7I someone sends a group of sword-wielding guys after you (in the US we'd probably uses guns) then I'd say you have a pretty good case for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
- gllopc, on 11/04/2007, -1/+8He's no Speedy Gonzalez.
- wisam, on 11/03/2007, -0/+5You have to love it when he says he runs slightly faster than he walks. Most people would run much faster than they walk yet probably not as fast as he does.
- sonofarex, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5i have a great idea for a comment, and it involves not ripping off Maddox!
douchebags - Blah_Blah_Blah, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5LOL *dies*
- inactive, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5Zomg you got the order of the quantifiers wrong.
- archimago42, on 11/03/2007, -0/+5You have to be an alligator to be able to run. It's science.
