brilliant- Japanese humour at its best

This animated comedy series which never made its way over to North America is superb. The plot revolves around five teenagers whom are part of a ping-pong club and their daily antics which always backfire. Always scheming to seduce women, these kids come up with the most impractical and funniest situations which always end in disaster. A personal favorite of mine has to be the American student, CAN YOU SAY STERYOTYPE? This character is not only burly, stupid and hairy, he has a lethal stench emitting from his armpits and an outie belly button which looks more like a giant d**k. Overall, this show is ingenious and always a pleasure to watch. If you're a fan of South Park or enjoy crude Japanese humour, you won't be disappointed.
