Funny/Not Funny? Take your pick
You know that hilarious video of that Korean guy singing Mariah Carey's Touch My Body making its round on teh Internetz0r?
Yeah, really not that funny. -.-
Theoretically, it's supposed to be funny. English!fail pictures/jokes usually are. Like that LOTR screencaps with bad subtitles? Those were funny. Misspelt roadsigns and signboards? Those are pretty hilarious too.
Unless you happen to be an Asian dude who doesn't even speak English as a second language with your face and voice plastered all over youtube with people commenting in various forms, "Haha, your English is atrocious! Thanks for the entertainment"
Then it becomes less of a funny English!fail joke and more of a 'Yea, let's make fun of the awkward effeminate Asian guy attempting to sing an English song and failing badly'. Because it's for jokes ya?
Right.
