Penny Arcade Remix: The Revenge

Posted: January 29th, 2007 | Author: | Filed under: Humor, Japan | 2 Comments »

I was in a panic to come up with something interesting for a high school English class, so I decided to try to replicate the classic Penny Arcade Remix. It didn’t go that well in class, with all the kids just kind of scratching their heads trying to think of something funny to write. But I did come up with some examples in Japanese that everyone seemed to enjoy. Click the thumbnails for the full images.

今日は高校訪問があって、授業で何しようかと悩んでいたら、傑作としか言いようのない Penny Arcade Remix を再現しようと思いついた。いたって簡単だ―主にゲーム業界をネタにする有名なオンラインコミックス Penny Arcade の台詞をぜんぶ消して、生徒に適当な英語の台詞を入れてもらう。けれど、何を書けば面白いのかわからないまま終わってしまったので、 Remix のように生徒の出来を見せることはできない。なので、僕が例として作った日本語のやつを公開しよう。

    Hey Aaron – this is Deas. Dunno if you remember chatting about the guy on TV punching a bear in the woods for a KO in the airport, but I’m that guy. Anyway, glad to see your site is back up. I cracked up at the Penny Arcade stuff. Also, I remember being in the room with a bunch of older folks at a youth hostel in Kyoto eating toshikoshi soba when the DJ Ozma performance came up. That was…awkward…but interesting. Ha ha. I knew the song because my kids had used it for the cheering competition at the undokai last fall. Craziness.
