The Zuiikin Gals
Meet the Zuiikin Gals. As far as I can tell, they’re trying to teach their fellow Japanese to speak English, but with a twist—literally. By combining aerobic steps with their repeat-after-me English phrases, the Zuiikin Gals hope that the English phrases and the aero steps will stick in the viewers’ minds.
Ingenious, right? Talk about exercising your mind and body.
But what makes this clip sooo fucking hilarious are the particular English phrases they are teaching to what apparently is their prime audience—hapless Japanese tourists going abroad.
This particular clip features the Zuiikin Gals teaching the viewers some helpful English phrases they can use when taking a cab in, say, New York. The lesson starts innocuously enough.
Then things take a turn for the bizarre.
Talk about real lessons for real-life use! And to the tune of brain-numbing aero music!
