Sugi’s responses sound like he’s remembering the phrases he had to learn in English classes as a child.
I’ve seen quite a few bartending channels but this is the only one where the dude never ever serves the ordered drink. 10/10.
Sugi: "Shut up. Tell me more." 😂
Now I need a video of Sugi as Cameron, and Cameron as Sugi 😂😂
He dated the married woman with two kids who thought he was gay? 😅
That ending....poor guy didn't know if Sugi was just being silly or telling him to leave. Hilarious skit. Hope he knows it's just for fun and not hateful.
Manzai is a traditional type of japanese comedy. A funny, dumb guy that makes deliberate mistakes gets corrected by another guy who's smart, quick and sarcastic with his remarks.
"I am just a silly guy" -the great SUGI
Derruru is a Sorruru is my new affirmation for everything.
