As far as I can tell, someone needs to explain it to her too.

Pretty clear to me.

1) The man asked the woman a question

2) The woman (started) to answer

3) She answered, but he interrupted her with some crazyo antics, because her answer was obviously lame

4) She was slightly confused, until she noticed how sexy and intriguing his limpdick fistclench was

5) He noticed #4, but felt like it wasn't enough, so he Celine Dion'd it up a notch, showing his innermost emotion(s)by raising his fist with a well-played shiteating grin

6) He realizes what he's actually supposed to be physically saying to the woman, so he slow-mo's his fist to her face. His form is flawless if you were to present it in FF mode

7) He moves his hand away from her face, lifts his fingers individually (this is still slow-mo) until his fist is wide open, dropping a white note that most likely says "Fuck you"

8) She's retarded and attempts to display that she's not by staring at the piece of paper that most likely says "Fuck you"

9) Like most men are with women, he is not satisfied. So he defies the laws of gravity by zooming towards her (still slow-mo), ending the exemplary portrayal of man-reasoning-with-woman with what appears to be a perfect backhand slap to the woman's face

His initial question is of no consequence, and the question doesn't fucking matter, because he's awesome.

End.

The short bit makes no sense. It comes from this longer thing:

In japan they have very formal business etiquette, this is a joke about that, the guy starts out doing normal business card trading and then just freaks out.

It's actually not very funny.

@5

Dude, that's almost five minutes long. You're ruining our fun with your analytical bullshit.

Disclaimer: I truly believe that women are equal to men, but I also believe that most women lack a sense of humor about women. If what I posted offended you instead of allowing you to notice that I am an idiot who thinks he's being funny when in reality he has no sense of humor whatsover, and he's obviously a fucking moron...well, waltz on back to the kitchen, guuurlll!

Wait. So these people are Japanese?

If that's true, well, OK. In that case I can see how confusing it would be. I mean, Japanese? Yeah, sure, I can see that now. So when I look at it like that it doesn't make a lick of sense. Not a lick.

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Thanks, Mr. Poe. I would have gone to bed with this in my dreams had you not provided such a detailed description of just what the fuck was going on.

Wait, isn't this part of "Gary, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dumb" right before the Shanghai nightclub scene, and the Japanese guy is really a Nazi with an eye job? Mebbe not. Oh, well.

oh comeon, i'm not even japanese

1. he is holding a business card with two hands, and thus it's her card he's holding

2. he crushes the card, a sign of disrespect to her.

3. he show how superior he is and how strong he feels by displaying his over-played gesture. notice his nose is up in the air with superiority.

4. he drops it on the table as if it's trash

5. the zoom signifies his incredibly growing ego.

very rough translation:

Guy: "Ah, so you work at Tokyo TV then?"
Gal: "Yes, and what do you do for work?

You know what? They should do a Japanese remake of Office Space. It would be AMAZING.

it reminds me of a monty python skit where john cleese is interviewing michael palin for a job. you know, the one where he suddenly rings a bell, sings "goood niiight a-ring-ding-ding" and starts shouting "3-2-1" , then calmly proceeds to write something on a piece of paper, all in the face of a bewildered and alarmed palin. everyone's been influenced by python, including the japanese.

It's also a new meme sweeping the internets.
