As a black man I should hate it! It wasn't written by Japaness, blacks, or the combination of the two. It was written by two whites guys (Mike Maguire and Tom Kuntz) that hired Japanese actors who speak broken English, when it's clear that their accents where put on, and use the N-word a lot (where's Jesse Jackson when you need him).

I can't help it. I love this thing. It had me on the floor dying with laughter. I just found it a week a go and it one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. To watch a Japanese family call each other the N-word was a master stroke. Its so wrong (making fun of two cultures at the same time) but so funny.

And that's the bottom line-It's funny.

By the way, when was this thing made-2000 or 2002?

Mike and Tom, you did good.

I'm still kicking your asses when I see you....Neeeggaaa!

Trivia
This "TV pilot" is actually an American-made parody of a Japanese TV show. There are several perhaps intentional mistakes in the pilot: - The label of the green coffee bag is upside down katakana, but only says gibberish. - The news channel being shown is in Chinese, not Japanese. - The actors are badly trying to hide their North American accent. The daughter is speaking Japanese in obvious North American accent. - The crew listed in the credits all have American sounding names. They are just written in katakana.
