Ohhh, because it's the flag. I GET IT!

[–]magicbullets 19 points20 points ago

You got there in the end. BRAVO!

[–]undercoveruser 11 points12 points ago

What.

[–]ErrorlessGnome 0 points1 point ago

hilarious gif

[–]PikKirby 31 points32 points ago

Korean.

[–]csmithers 13 points14 points ago

I too, as a white guy, cannot tell Korean people and Japanese people apart. Can anyone tell me the secret?

[–]TheBestBigAl 28 points29 points ago

Japanese men have tentacles instead of a penis, or so I'm led to believe.

[–]BigBadMrBitches 12 points13 points ago

As a tentacle penis inspector, I can confirm this.

[–]midnightsbane04 7 points8 points ago

Congrats on possibly the worst job ever!

[–]BigBadMrBitches 1 point2 points ago

Nope, that belongs to Joe, slimed tentacle inspector.

[–]KNUBBS 3 points4 points ago

"Turn your head and cough 8 times."

[–]iusedtohavealife 4 points5 points ago

I'm Japanese, but I couldn't tell them apart until I dated a Korean. So my secret is, date lots of Japanese and Korean girls until you can.

[–]MrFrumble[!] 6 points7 points ago

I did. The Korean gf will throw stuff at you when she's angry. The Japanese gf will give you the silent treatment. Hmm I guess this only proves that I just made my ex-gfs angry a lot.

[–]patefoisgras -1 points0 points ago

This is funny because it's so true.

[–]BBQporkbun 8 points9 points ago

As a chinese, I can't tell any east asians apart. Shamefur dispray.

[–]WilsonHanks 3 points4 points ago

Japanese people tend to have more oval shaped faces and higher, wider eyes. Koreans tend to have flatter faces, and smaller eyes.

[–]imanedrn 1 point2 points ago

Vietnamese people have flat faces too. I went to school with this girl that everyone called "pan face."

[–]PikKirby 1 point2 points ago

Just general facial structure. My only advice would be is to hang out with alot of Korean/Japanese people until you do.

[–]mypetridish 1 point2 points ago

As an asian, i can tell the difference between a taiwanese, a chinese, a korean, a japanese, a thai, a cambodian, etc. with great accuracy

But I cant tell the different makes of white people, like the germans, the dutch, the slavic, etc.

There is no secret to tell, it's just that different cultures look at different features of the face to differentiate each other. that is why we find it difficult to differentiate those who are not part of our own culture

[–]sehrfine 1 point2 points ago

A Korean told me it was possible through the eyes, but I called bullshit. He laughed at me.

[–]csmithers 1 point2 points ago

a possible theory, thanks. it would be subtle if true

[–]schampanes 0 points1 point ago

it's like trying to tell europeans apart as an asian - not possibru.

[–]Thecobra117 -4 points-3 points ago

GREAT REMINDER! Japanese people are generally happier, they have their awesome manga and anime, so their eyes and slanted UPWARD.

Koreans are more like meh, they have Starcraft, but north Korea is being a bitch, so their eyes are slanted HORIZONTALLY.

Now Chinese people have communism and less going in in the terms of free thinking, so their eyes are slanted DOWN.

(excuse some minor racism, but that's the breaks.)

[–]Arcs_Of_A_Jar 2 points3 points ago

This isn't even racism, much less funny, this is outright ignorance.

[–]DoesntSmellRight 0 points1 point ago

Asian.

[–]Jabba_the_Mutt 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit. Just lost it and couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes [7]

[–]Nizzzlle 3 points4 points ago

That's a really smooth gif, we need more of these.

[–]NoMoreGoodNamesLeft 2 points3 points ago

Smoothest gif i've ever seen.

[–]Kylskap 67 points68 points ago

[–]Purdy14 33 points34 points ago

According to this pie chart, pie charts are the only thing you understand.

[–]Kylskap 10 points11 points ago

Oh... Well, I guess that's what I get for posting a pie chart when I don't understand pie charts...

[–]choc_is_back 3 points4 points ago

Adding a whole other meta-level to the misunderstanding. Well done.

[–]dumbkid 5 points6 points ago

hnnnghhh oh god my sides

[–]xgdhx 1 point2 points ago

Nice try, pie chart salesperson.

[–]Purdy14 3 points4 points ago

[–]X-Craft 0 points1 point ago

That is, assuming that they're not the green or the black part. Since they're not labeled, they can be representing the value "Pie charts" as well.

[–]AlexLeSage 17 points18 points ago

This is extremely accurate.

[–]Saxifrage_Russell 8 points9 points ago

So the Japanese love charts so much they made one their flag? Makes sense.

[–]Worlds_Worst_Liar 2 points3 points ago

Technically, not all of Japan is Japan...

[–]Dirge37 0 points1 point ago

Elaborate? Just for me, please?

[–]tanu24 1 point2 points ago

Part of it is actually Japan

[–]Clutz 2 points3 points ago

[–]ChocoboWrangler 1 point2 points ago

Someone named minuswhale posted a japanese flag. I'm on to you.

[–]Ponised 7 points8 points ago

[–]smokeshack 2 points3 points ago

Meh, not really. Mostly housewives watching pseudo-celebrities eat stuff on TV, and middle-aged guys drinking too much while entertaining clients and vomiting up their yakisoba in the middle of the god-damned sidewalk for Christ's sake.

They did just open up the second-largest structure in the world in Tokyo a couple days ago, though, that's pretty cray-cray.

[–]skanknasty 2 points3 points ago

So Japan is America?

[–]smokeshack 5 points6 points ago

In all seriousness, I think it says more about the English-language internet than it does about Japan that the internet is obsessed with Japan's more bizarre subcultures. The vast, vast, vast majority of Japanese people have no idea that their country even produces tentacle porn, much less that this is the image most associated with their country abroad.

[–]Seiji 0 points1 point ago

Hell yeah, Sky Tree. Can't wait to check out Sumida next time I'm in Tokyo.

[–]mybandscks 0 points1 point ago

Created that and got xposted... And now this!? Damn you all!!

[–]Crossthebreeze 3 points4 points ago

It's more clear if you post this link. http://imgur.com/pJFPR

[–]flying_squirrel_cat 1 point2 points ago

I found this joke intelligent and I enjoyed laughing at it. Kudos to you Sir.

[–]ineedwater 1 point2 points ago

Yes, this is a fine pie chart, a fine pie chart indeed.

[–]skizfrenik_syco 3 points4 points ago

[–]Punkgoblin 0 points1 point ago

I hate when someone beats me to an obvious pun.

[–]Jabba_the_Mutt 0 points1 point ago

This thread is probably the most hilarious thing thing I've ever seen. [8]

[–]TACOfarmerXD 0 points1 point ago

What you did there I see it

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Very informative pie chart you've got there.

[–]amplifiedlogic 0 points1 point ago

Thank you - here's an up vote. Hilllllarious

[–]MrMudeenu 0 points1 point ago

Took me a few seconds there

[–]I_might_be_your_dad 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why but I cracked up at this even before I got the joke. Then when I got the joke it wasn't as funny . . .

[–]mermaidluvr124 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why I found that so funny

[–]i_go_to_uri 0 points1 point ago

If it were not for HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO, I would've never gotten this, and gone back to clicking other links completely unaware of the hilarity I missed out on.

[–]Minsyaaa 0 points1 point ago

[–]ElBobo -5 points-4 points ago

This shit needs to stop, it is no longer clever or funny and I am disgusted that it made it to the front page. Further evidence the collective iq of reddit declines with its popularity.

[–]arcanooito -2 points-1 points ago

hahaha, cleverness abounds in you young one.

[–]Grammar_Nazi_Trappin -2 points-1 points ago

Its the flag. I see what your did their.
