hess 3,578 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's getting very stale tbh. What's more cringe-worthy are the over-reactions of other people on the show when I'm sure they've seen the same old way more times than us. Also, you forgot imitating comedian phrases/characters.

Arsinoë 1,188 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 There was a time when people imitated the character from that Cell Block film. So, drama and movie imitations. ESPECIALLY the tired Titanic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrio baby 833 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 i wouldn't call it "basic" since it's mostly cultural differences. korean comedy caters to korean audiences so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Wang 591 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If you're tired of Koreans and their ways, I invite you to stop paying attention to them, and go back to watching tv shows from your own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna 721 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Their favourite party trick: impressions... Imitations can be funny. I was watching Kevin Spacey do imitations on Jimmy Fallon this weekend and that was hilarious, but it wasn't offensive either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pineapple 7,592 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Korean gag shows are the only place I still really see slapstick humor. I actually enjoy that aspect though, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOO MOO 1,266 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 um ok i dont see some of these being used regularly on variety shows though like black face, imitating black people, kkap dance .... the one thing thats overdone as hell imo is imitation idk about black face & imitating black people, but back in 2009-2010 kkap dance was really popular on shows (Jo Kwon and Min are famous for their kkap dance) don't forget the so called sexy dance and boygroups dancing to girlgroup songs..

V.M. 752 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Shinyoung took this to a new low recently on The Human Condition. Apparently according to her one of the highlights of Chuseok is watching foreign people on Korean TV try and sing or talk Korean on TV specials. She then followed this up with an awful skit where she and Jimin played 'German women' married to rich Korean men. Sad this is the same channel that puts out all these Music Bank around the world shows. Which often have local people singing Korean songs. Or K-pop singing talent comps in other countrys. Nice of Shinyoung to let anyone daft enough to appear on them they are just a joke for Korean people though.... Cristina I am in two minds about after seeing her on shows. Her voice is really annoying. Its like fingernails down a blackboard bad. Its not even her attempting to speak Korean thats the problem its just way out of leftfield annoying. She seems to know this and has made no attempts to fix it but has made a decent career appearing on Korean variety shows anyway. Her husband is successful too so I kind of think she is in on the joke and just doing her own thing and not giving a fuck. The more people impersonate her the more gigs she gets when she is not a singer, actress, comedian, anything talent wise she is just some Italien housewife.
