Chinese Show Responds to Conan O'Brien

  • 0:00 - 0:07
    OPENING SEQUENCE (NOTHING)
  • 0:12 - 0:18
    Welcome to China's very own knockoff talk show, Da Peng DeBeDe.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    I'm now Da Peng sans opening sequence.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    I'm sorry. I lost face for Chinese people. I'm really very sorry.
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    I'm known to have a round face. Known as a host with a big face.
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    This time I really lost my big face in a big way!
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Even the guy who sells breakfast crepes (think hotdogs) downstairs knows me now
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    Everyone probably knows what happened.
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    My first girlfriend just sent me a text
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    Says she regrets dumping me all those years ago
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    Because she saw me on an American TV show
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    Aiya, I'm 'International' now!
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    First let us take a look at the newest episode of the American talk show
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    Conan's (KeNan) Tonight Show [Not Leno]
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    (No Translation Needed)
  • 3:05 - 3:12
    Err...here on behalf of the production crew I want to apologize to Mr. Conan and his team
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    Really too 'sorry' for this thing
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    Stop stop stop
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    Can't dance any more
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    Now we're copying Korean pop
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    China has an old saying: "If you don't fight you don't get to know each other"
  • 3:28 - 3:31
    I guess this counts as me having a heart to heart with an international super star
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    I would ask Gu Da Bai [a well known translator of English shows] to help me translate
  • 3:34 - 3:38
    Our program will immediately stop using this opening sequence
  • 3:38 - 3:42
    And sincerely apologize to my American colleague
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    But I'm guessing after this apology I'll have to apologize again
  • 3:45 - 3:48
    Because on today's show we're still going to talk smack about you
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    Actually this thing came as quite a shock to me as well
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    Yesterday a friend sent me a SMS saying KeNan has his eyes on me
  • 3:54 - 3:59
    I got really scared because people say wherever Kenan (a Japanese anime detective) goes people die
  • 3:59 - 4:03
    Then I found out it wasn't Japan's Kenan but America's Kenan
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    Then I studiously watched his show
  • 4:05 - 4:08
    Aside from wanting to express my regret to you, sir
  • 4:08 - 4:13
    I also want to discuss some of the content of your show with you
  • 4:13 - 4:18
    First, that naked dude picture that you put up
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    Have to say his coolness pales in comparison to Zhang Chao Yang
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    And judging by his looks he's obviously Korean
  • 4:24 - 4:27
    It's said that when two sides do battle one tries to minimize collateral damage
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    By doing this you might have hurt the [naked] Korean dude's feelings
  • 4:29 - 4:33
    He might think you're making fun of him and that's not cool
  • 4:33 - 4:36
    After all I'm all Chinese and I'm afraid people will think I'm like Jeremy Lin
  • 4:36 - 4:40
    And think I'm a quarter Korean
  • 4:40 - 4:44
    Also, Sister Phoenix is still in the States [looking for a husband]
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    You can't put me on TV and make me look bad [in her eyes]
  • 4:47 - 4:52
    Then you said my show is 'weird'
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    Although my English is not too good I can't say I agree.
  • 4:55 - 4:57
    I just know 'One Two Three Four Five Six'
  • 4:57 - 5:00
    But when I looked up 'weird' I realized it was not a good word
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    You describe us this way because you don't understand Chinese
  • 5:03 - 5:06
    American humor is not the only type of humor in this world
  • 5:06 - 5:13
    Also some netizens saw your show and asked why he just called our show 'DaPeng'
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    And didn't say the show's entire name
  • 5:16 - 5:19
    I guess it's because our show's name is too hard to pronounce
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    Since we're having an exchange here today
  • 5:22 - 5:25
    So why don't you repeat after me and try to say the whole name
  • 5:25 - 5:27
    Da Peng De Ba De
  • 5:27 - 5:30
    De Ba De [Colloquial term for random chatter]. Follow me
  • 5:30 - 5:32
    De Ba De
  • 5:32 - 5:35
    No no no not 'Dao Bi Dao' or 'Der Bi Der'
  • 5:35 - 5:43
    Various Chinese celebrities trying to pronounce 'De Ba De' correctly
  • 5:43 - 5:45
    China has an old saying
  • 5:45 - 5:49
    Disaster and fortune usually go hand in hand. Things always have two sides.
  • 5:49 - 5:54
    For so many years Americans have been trying to export your culture and values to the world
  • 5:54 - 6:01
    You might be very happy to know China has millions of netizens watching your shows and are influenced by your humor
  • 6:01 - 6:07
    On the other hand [after you have influenced us so much] you are always saying [of our stuff] 'Oh bullshit this is all ripped off'
  • 6:07 - 6:10
    From this perspective I feel we're a bit nicer
  • 6:10 - 6:13
    China has bought so much of your national debt
  • 6:13 - 6:17
    But in this show we never make fun of you running around borrowing money from everyone
  • 6:17 - 6:23
    Also, the captions you put up. Really doesn't even make it to the elementary school second grade level of Chinese.
  • 6:23 - 6:24
    Even the meaning doesn't make any sense
  • 6:24 - 6:28
    You should do this. Look! Look!
  • 6:28 - 6:32
    Of course, in order to show our respects to Conan's production crew
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    From now our our actor who plays the [Chinese style] zombie
  • 6:35 - 6:40
    His show name will be changed to Mu He Chun En [the caption Conan used]
  • 6:40 - 6:46
    But now that he has a show name the other sideshow characters will want their own too!
  • 6:46 - 6:48
    You're lucky on that show these guys didn't come out
  • 6:48 - 6:51
    Otherwise how would you be able to rip us off? Right?
  • 6:51 - 6:54
    If you try to compete with China on who has more people you'll lose for sure
  • 6:54 - 6:55
    Come on, try doing this!
  • 6:55 - 6:59
    Actually, misunderstandings all arise from lack of mutual knowledge
  • 6:59 - 7:01
    I can tell you're very interested in China
  • 7:01 - 7:05
    Brother Conan. Welcome to China!
Title:
Chinese Show Responds to Conan O'Brien
Description:

After Conan O'Brien complained that his opening sequence was ripped off by a "weird" Chinese talkshow, the host of the show, Dapeng, responds with this hilarious video. Perhaps without realizing it, he calls Conan's show "The Tonight Show of Conan." Ouch.
