WTF Are People Saying

Geisha Dancing: combining the ancient art of geisha and break dancing. To traditional Japanese gangsta rap.
Now I really want to see Hime do a video like that!
Yakuza rap?
“…More like Gay-shas”, said 50 Cent who was rather unimpressed by the excess clothing on their posteriors.
now everyone’s trying to leave pseudo-witty comments in hopes of being featured?
lame.
Do you hope to be featured with this completely witty comment?
Is that the best you can come up with?
east-side!
Far East Side!
Hah, it looks like they’re doing the worm!
If I saw this, I’d be pissed off. Breakdancing instead of bringing me my tea and then (possibly) pleasuring me. Bollocks.
You watched too many episodes of Mash. True Geisha do not include “happy ending.”
I think the one on the right is a man…
the one on the left looks like she’s asleep.
Breakdancing? Naaaw. Synchronized tripping-and-crashing-to-the-mat.
Very entertaining.
This was not accidental. See the judges clapping in the background? It was all a well-choreographed face-plant routine.
Since Japan is on the other side of the globe, it’s natural that ppl live upside down there!
It was a bad joke to begin with, but in addition to that, Japan is in the northern hemisphere. It’s southern hemisphere that such references apply to.
Yippie Kai Yaa!
OH YEAH! DO THE WORM! XD
is there anyone who can ACTUALLY tell what they are doing? I think it is some kind of a dance and the geishas were quite stable in these positions. such dances require years of training, it’s sad you guys see this out of context picture as funny, they should be respected and admired for their skills.
and Geishas are NOT prostitutes, mind you.
And from the way these women wear their obi I think they are Tokyo geisha… not sure on the names though.
This is called “shachihokodachi”, it’s a sort of crazy/fun ending to more light-hearted dances.
flickR has a few videos of geiko doing this, and there is a YouTube video of the Osaka Odori with a big group-shachihokodachi at about 7 minutes in. (dunno if I can post links, I tried posting before with links and my comment wasn’t posted… so just pretend this one came before the one above, lol )
Thanks! I was really interested in what’s “really” going on here. I think that’s my main fascination with this site – not the picture itself, but in what context do these crazy things actually make sense?! Far more entertaining to me than a simple wacky picture with a casual glance.
also what this is , is in the lyrics of the song they sing with it. at the end they sing about 2 dolphins-esque statues on the top of a temple. then they take the poses of what the statues look like. hence this pose
Name that yoga position! Because it is one. I can’t do it without a spotter.
This is EXACTLY what happens if you fall over while wearing the traditional Geisha 9-layer-kimono.
they dont wear that many, your thikning of the heian time noble women.
geisha wear the inner most (rarely shown) a juban, a middle layer and then this outermost kimono. just 3. and the middle 2 can be very thin, its the outone thats the most heaviest.
no one really wears 9 layers of anything anymore. (princess does when she’s married into the family, and only on her wedding day)
Now I understand why their faces are so flat…
check the calves…those are dudes. totally.
Ewwww I see what you mean!
Actually, the fact that they’re doing this at all marks them as dancers. If you’ve ever seen traditional Japanese dance, or tried it yourself, you’d know what a workout it is.
Nihon Buyou FTW XD
Frank Lloyd Wright would be spinning in his grave if he saw this.
Aahhh, So thats a Double Asian Faceplant? I thought that was a Sexual Position?
Nah-n-nah-na-na-nah-nah-nah, Katamari Damacy!
i spy cankles
Thanks, Keep up the Good work
Im pretty sure ive seen this before in a documentry, its a game where you have to roll onto your front without smackin your xhin on the floor, they play all sorts of games, another one where you have to push the other geisha over with your bum….. good times x
