The Breaking Dead for YouTube's Geek week



From the makers of What Kind of Asian are You? comes Breaking Dead. I collaborated again with David Neptune, Stella Choe and David Ury to make the video for YouTube's Geekweek. I wrote it with David Ury, and David plays a role in it along with Charles Baker from the tv show Breaking Bad.


This trailer is a parody of Walking Dead meets Breaking Bad. It is not on my channel, it's on director Davidury's channel so make sure to subscribe to him. If you don't know my long lost twin brother david then search youtube for ken tanaka and David Ury to see us meet.

Bulleit Rye Whiskey: Fruit Fly alcoholism is on the rise.



In the summer, my apartment gets visited by many fruit flies. There are so many I can't even name them all.

Last night I finished a bottle of Bulleit Rye Whiskey. It's a tasty whiskey that I like to mix with meyer lemon to make a refreshing whiskey sour. This morning I learned that it is also a very popular whiskey among my fruit fly friends. Overnight, I found about 23 of them floating in the last drops at the bottom of the empty bottle. In the picture above, they look like tiny little specs floating in the rye. They had drunk themselves to death. A fruit fly's life is very short, just a few weeks. That's probably why so many of them become obsessed with their own mortality and can only find comfort at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. I sometimes imagine myself shrinking down to a tiny Ken Tanaka size, standing on the top of a bottle of rye, and trying to catch the little fruit flies, before they fall in to the bottle and are lost forever.


I wish that they would have read my book, Everybody Dies: A Children's Book for Grown Ups before taking their final gulp. Maybe it would have helped them to accept their short lifespan, instead of making it even shorter. So long fruit flies. So long, forever.

David Neptune and I present White Samurai. It's our tribute to Kurosawa samurai films, and also Zatoichi, and Tom Cruise's Sake yell from The Last Samurai.

This was shot as part of the YouTube Comedy Lab. I also collaborated with the great youtuber SamMacaroni. Check out the white Samurai's appearance in his video too.


Actors interpret Racist comments from What Kind of Asian are You?



The video “What kind of Asian are you? has gotten nearly 5 million views and 16,000 comments in the past 3 weeks. For a while, the comments section became a very unhandsome kind of battlefield. We picked out some of the worst and oddest comments and had actors Stella Choe and Scott Beehner act them out in a scene.

This was very fun to shoot. It actually took longer than shooting the original because some of the dialogue is so long in this one.

We have gotten a number of comments saying that this video is funnier than the original video. What do you think?
