We had a morning workout show with very attractive women and cameras focusing on certain body parts. However, we never had anything like this in the US. Zuiikin English was one of the strangest shows I’ve seen.
Instead of me trying to explain the damn thing, here’s the Wiki overview of the show. From the Wiki, ((1992 by Fuji Television. Eikaiwa, Taisō and Zuiikin mean "English conversation", "gymnastic exercises" and "voluntary muscles", respectively. The series combines English language lessons with gymnastic exercise programs. The series consists of 24 episodes.))
So using muscle movements helps you remember things... I guess. The problem is clearly the camera guy is getting a hard-on by focusing on the women’s bodies. The whole thing seems odd yet funny. Back in the early days of the Internet, I remember this show receiving popularity for this combo. It was one of the earlier memes, and even I wrote about it early in my blogging career.
Was this supposed to be awkward and strange on purpose? This type of humor didn’t happen during the early 90s when this show came out. Today, this humor is everywhere and even more strange than ZE.
Side Note: The name of the US workout show was 20-Minute Workout, and it needs its own post really.
The best part is the English-speaking ZE boys. One guy has the shortest shorts in the world where you can almost see his “frank and beans”. What was he thinking? Is he still alive?
