But You Don't Act Japanese

"But you don't act Japanese..."

A young man in a white shirt looks thoughtfully into the camera, then covers the lens and reappears in a black suit before dropping to the floor and crawling away in an exaggerated, dramatic style. The joke is that the caption challenges his supposedly Japanese behavior, while the melodramatic transformation and theatrical movements play against the stereotype. The clip is set to El Trono de México’s regional Mexican song “Quien Piensa En Ti,” whose romantic, dramatic mood makes the sudden performance even funnier as a reaction to someone questioning his identity or mannerisms.
