Parody of Girls Generation song proves big hit on YouTube

I sold this video

I loved this video it was hilarious.

Come on, can people accept this for what it is? Just a silly parody of a silly music video...like if the original one was a piece of art...sigh.

why is everybody on here so bitter all the time?

This isn't bitterness. It's the ability to discern between entertainment and witless, infantile pap.

And why is everybody on here so bitter all the time? Every article that gets posted up is always accompanied by multiple complaints or put downs regarding the content. Why?

This is quite honestly the BEST parody ive seen EVER!!

Ivan Couffhanoffalot has perfectly summed up my feeling: oh, no ! Not a parody anymore ? Are japanese artists able to produce really original pieces of art, without copying or parodying others work ? Well, after more than 15 years living in Japan, I can say a big NO ! Parodying Mozart, parodying Dali, parodying Bruce Willis, Barack Obama or Adolph Hitler, here is their "number 18". By the way, isn't that the producer of these SMAP who recently made Lady Gaga's Youtube account suspended, because she "illegally" showed on her channel an extract of the SMAP's program where she was the guest star ? So talented, so friendly...

Only in Japan, and maybe England, would cross dressing old men be funny.

Does everything have to be about Oyajis? It's so lame and boring... Oh I forgot...I was born in OYAJI land! (>_<);

This song is hysterical and I find hard to like it, but the parody is funny.

They also renamed the song from “Gee” to 爺 (Jii) which means old man.

The ultimate oyaji gyaggu.

Oh what a surprise - grotesque capering and funny-face-pulling. The epitome of sophisticated entertainment in this oh-so-cultured nation.

I don't think I've ever seen anything so lame.

Heard of GG's "Gee" but never actually saw it. Now that I see it I can't believe this shtuff got popular. Sad. (I'm not talking about the parody.)

Another sign economic stimulus packages are working.

i totally agree, gox3. 2 miilion hits isn't exactly viral.

'Gee' is a couple of years old - not the most topical parody...

The only member of SMAP I like is Nakai -- he's relatively down to earth and I've heard from friends who know him that he's a nice guy. I'll check it out later. I'll still stick with Girls Generation if I had to choose one of the two, but parodies, if done well, can be a lot of fun.

Look like a Jii-san? He already is.

2 million times? That is not popular, write a news story when it hits 20 million

yah....thnx but I rather stick with Girls Generation. :)

Responses from other countries include “Good job, Nakai!!” “Japan is great!” etc.

Who writes these stories?

Parodies like this often appear on the Fuji TV program “SMAP×SMAP.”

Oh, I'm starting to get the idea . . .
