With the Writers Guild of America on strike, TV is full of re-runs, of course. Last night I caught a MADtv show that featured TV parodies, including a hilarious take on what they say are Japanese soap operas. However, Eric informs me the writing is in Korean, and cast member Bobby Lee is Korean-American. Anyway, six months ago I featured the Japanese romantic comedy Train Man, and I can see elements of that in this parody.

The playback will pause no matter where you click in the picture, so you should be able to catch all of the captions. I thought of Monty Python while watching this! They made fun of a lot of British shows and personalities that were lost on the American audience, yet somehow that only added to their appeal.
Hysterical! I love how the bad guy whispers out two words and the whole screen is filled with translations which blink off before you can read them!
