  • We reached peak comedy in the 90’s

    This proves that after months, perhaps even years of modern meme research, we’ve arrived at the same conclusion that mr bean arrived back in the nineties.

    May this serve as a reminder, fellow citizens: mr bean under a beam is the ultimate joke. People in the nineties were far ahead of their times and predicted modern meme culture. In fact, I believe they discovered the fundamental natural laws of comedy. Who knows what other complex and arcane theories they have hidden in plain sight. For this banger of a meme to be nothing but the intro to mr bean means we have more years, perhaps decades of research to achieve a fraction of the raw comedical output of the 90’s

    Need we worship and pray to these old gods, for their art that’s been lost to time to return to us, perhaps from the heavens, descending illuminated, through a thin ray of light, packaged for our modern taste in a metal container meant for legumes, handed to us mortals by a god that resembles us, wearing a suit, and a tie, holding a stuffed bear as to not cause fear, but hope and happiness in our hearts.

    “Do not fear” may he say, not through words, but through an exaggerated facial expression resembling a wide-eyed smile.

    “Here’s your beans”
















  • I have a dictionary app called ‘akebi’ that shows me the words, the kanjis and the stroke order; and I also use google keyboard with the onscreen-drawing pad for japanese, so every kanji and kana I wrote on my previous comment was hand drawn by me. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but it really helps.

    Also, learning about the origins of kanji, it’s radicals and history helps a lot, you’ll start creating connections in your head about pronunciation and meaning. You’ll associate meaning and sound to kanjis a lot faster that way. I’ve come to the point of hearing a word, learning it’s meaning and then I come up with the possible kanjis that make it up, and surprisingly I’m right 60 to 80% of the time!

    Try calligraphy too. I learned all the kanjis that originated hiragana, and sometimes I see them in the wild and immediately know their pronunciation (60% of the time)

    I’ts a matter of patience, and motivation, A LOT of motivation.
