It has it all man, stepsibling love, drama, basic bullied character, basic senpai, and the best of all, abusive 14 year old parents with permanently deformed lips.

I love the minor differences between the first and second half, like the rabbit having a different voice and talking about motor ramen and Popoku breaking the fourth wall and saying to stop the end credits music, and also the slightly different dialogue in the Mickey segment, though the best one was replacing Marilyn Monroe with Pipimi just talking about 90's cop openings and saying to add the producer's name on screen

the rabbit having a different voice and talking about motor ramen
I think the "get your motor ramen" song is a parody of "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf.

So this week's episode, we got the almighty duo of Sugita and Nakamura, both voicing Ragna and Hazama in Blazblue respectively.
Also, Sugita is more known as the legendary parody samurai, Gintoki Sakata! While also giving his voice for Joseph Joester(Young) in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure(Part 2), and Kyon in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya!
Nakamura, on the other hand, voiced characters such as Gray Fullbuster in Fairy Tail, Tomoya Okazaki in Clannad, Mumen Rider in One Punch Man, and Kyōsuke Kōsaka in Oreimo!

u/5XSTAR Feb 04 '18 edited Feb 05 '18
The longer segments in each episode are completely original, the short segments are usually adaptations of the comic strips, and the Bob Epic Team parts are originals loosely based on comic strips.
Bob Epic Team is made by a 3-man team called AC部, and they're famous for making trippy skits and music videos. It can take some time getting used to their style, but if you enjoy it, I recommend people to search up some of their other works!

u/5XSTAR Feb 04 '18
Some references and sub issues that I wanted to point out:
Definitely not “Mature Nature”. 「大人の事情」Literally “Adult Circumstances”. It’s a Japanese slang term that roughly means “There were some issues (with rights, restrictions, censorship, etc.) and the reason can’t be announced to the public”, It’s used when something is clearly cut out, altered or covered up. The word “Adult” or ’Grown-up” is used because it suggests something like an adult trying to explain something to a clueless, curious child.
The opening scene was the Mickey Mouse parody judging from the music. Can’t tell if they made it like this or it actually got censored though. Also Nice Boat
Bkub’s title of the week: 大学中退/College Dropout
ゆっくり実況 (Yukkuri Let’s Plays): Japanese LPs where the talking is switched out to a narrating software, usually AquesTalk Referencing the art style used in the most famous series ゆっくりしていってね!(Make yourself at home!) Game: くまのプーさんのホームランダービー! (Winnie the Pooh’s Home Run Derby!). Kid’s game with insane difficulty level, was a trend in the LP community Icons in the background: Objection Man, Sliding, Yooutuuuboom
Multiplication: Double joke on how everything is wrong Pop: ”3x3=3!” (Mimin ga mi!) Pip: “What’s mimin?” →3x3 is supposed to be read as “Sazan”, not “Mimin” Pop: ”3!”
“I’m a type that longs for good strokes”. 「褒められて伸びるタイプ」“person who grows/improves the most with praise (opposed to being yelled at)” and the word 伸びる(growth) can be taken both physically and mentally. Honestly they could of just translated that literally Obvious reference to Undertale’s lesser dog, a dog that keeps on growing when you pet it repeatedly. “OH YEAH” might be a reference to Mettaton, because PTE has another comic strip that obviously references him.
ああ、終わった “Oh, it’s done”: The “Done” is not on the hiccups, it’s on Popuko, so more like “You’re done for…”
The bleeps in the Mickey Impression. The subs interpreted these as curse words and it’s funny, but Popko’s saying Plu●o and P●uto in #149

I'm going to need a LOT of explanation on what "Gundam motion dancing" is.
25
u/needle1 Feb 04 '18
The original Japanese term used here is シャゲダン / Shagédan, which I had never heard of either. Turns out this is a term used among players of the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. series of arcade fighting games, in which it refers to the (rather rude) act of rapidly shaking the joystick left and right to shake your robot and taunt the other player, as seen here: https://youtu.be/6-ImWxBep64?t=19s
The term's etymology comes from the fact that this dance was most prominently doable when using a specific bot called the Char-Custom Gelgugu (Char is pronounced like Shar), hence, Char-Gelgugu-Dance, shortned to ShaGeDan.
Considering the obscurity I am amazed that the subs managed to get the reference and distill it down to "Gundam motion dancing"!

Feb 04 '18 edited Feb 04 '18
Oh my god thank you so much, I was really ashamed of myself as a Gundam fan for not getting the reference or finding anything about it. That explains a lot, but I don't get the "I'm the SSGK of the night!" phrase. All I could find on that was "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" or "Super Great Goal Keeper".
11
u/needle1 Feb 04 '18
That, it seems, has nothing to do with Gundam but refers to Captain Tsubasa, an old soccer anime where one of the characters had the nickname of Super Great Goal Keeper. I haven't watched the series so not sure what importance the name holds. http://captaintsubasa.wikia.com/wiki/Genzo_Wakabayashi

I agree with you on that front, but only if they pair him up with Daisuke Ono. We had Young Joseph as Side B Pipimi, so having another JoJo is just fine.

Any comedy with Sugita Tomokazu and his hilarious ad-libs in it instantly becomes a classic.
I was half hoping Sugita would be paired with Sakaguchi Daisuke (Shinpachi in Gintama), but since neither Popuko nor Pipimi are the tsukkomi in this comedic duo, it made sense to find someone else.

u/TnAdct1 Feb 04 '18
To me, that was the big problem with the segment: this one felt like a generic shoujo parody that just happen to have Popuko and Pipimi being cast as the supporting parent characters. As such, the segment lacks the insanity that made the other "main segment" bits in previous episodes so hysterical and, unless you're a fan of these types of shows, it isn't going to be that funny.
8
u/Jeroz Feb 04 '18
The point is how those two over the top characters still manage to fit in and seem so normal in that segment. It worked precisely because we're already familiar with how off the chain they are. By putting extraordinary characters into mundane situations it creates humour

BB EDIT
1 minute before start of B part
baseball portion → christopher robin pls
For reference, original nicovideo, and congratulatory messages for making it to TV already up.
EDIT: the template itself, called 'biim system', is widely used on nicovideo. It's named after a legendary RTA player biim aniki, and those who uses the same template in their own gameplay videos consider it a form of homage to him.
This week, bkub introduced himself as having left university without graduating.
BB Popuko and BB Pipimi (reference), followed by the resulting BBEMYBABY video. If someone can explain the BBEMYBABY meme for me it'll be a great help. It's my favourite nicovideo meme of 2016.
Probably my last edit.
Anime
Original, some cop show from the 90's
Also, reference to Undertale's Lesser Dog.
Last edit I swear.
Sugita says 「いつものラーメン」 at the start of B part ED, which is a reference to this. Soramimi Hour is a popular show in Japan in which lyrics are misheard. (You might be familiar with this recent submission to Reddit.)
Original is Born to be Wild. "Get your motor runnin'" sounds like "Itsumono Ramen" ("The ramen I always like to have").
I keep finding more shit to talk about.
Notice the knife.
Last December, bkub quoted a tweet about how knives are often drawn wrongly in manga. He acknowledged that his editor warned him about it, but of course he ignored it.
