G no Arashi Episode 4: The actor with 20 years of experience but still fails.
So it's been a while since the last one of these. *is sheepish* I can only claim that Christmas vacation killed me. It would have been fine if it was only a week but I was with my family family for three weeks. I love them and all but after a week I remember why I like living in a different state then they do. Then I got back and my laptop charger broke on the plane ride, and it's really weird using my mom's computer for something like this but I was bored so here you are.
This G no Arashi starts off with the four choices in who to choose. There's Nino's Choice: a failed ranger team.
And when I say failed I mean even the little kids criticize them and they're apparently kicked in the behind and pinched. Nino helpfully points out that some of this might be because there's only three of them, everyone who's anyone knows ranger teams have to have five people. Aiba wants to fix their costumes, and I'm too busy giggling at the rangers fail to care that they're probably trying to teach people something important.
Sho wants to support a minor sport. You know I kind of wish that they would have done this one because how awesome would that be? It would be the beginnings to their minor sports theme, but sadly Kin ball (this minor sport) is not chosen. And it looks so fun.
Arashi agrees with me. But they also say that it should go to a show that was apparently airing at around the same time that focused on sports.
Ohno wants to support a failed actor. They ask him to give his best act and he gives a wrestling match spectator. This probably says something about him in terms of ability.
I don't even remember what Ohno's comment was I just thought that him picking his nose and them catching him was just really funny considering that AnS episode where they have him teach a guest how to pick your nose on tv without getting caught, and he's totally obvious about it.
Aiba wants to support...himself? Well no, not really but rather A no Arashi. He wants his corner back. As fun as I think this would be, sorry Aiba wrong show. Will you cheer up if I tell you that you still get to wreck mayhem and havoc on this show anyway?
It is a sad day when his lab coat is in the garbage.
So they decide on who to support and they end up choosing the failed actor, which I'm pretty sure you figured out by the title of this entry.
He has videos of all his performances. Apparently he's been in over 3000 things and quiet a few of them are well known drama series and such.
Guys I kind of miss videos. They were my childhood really, well those and laser discs. My parents still have my laser discs of all the disney movies...not that we still have a player for it...
Anyway back to the show. They show a few the instances where he's in something and they're all really short. The first one he's on screen for like two seconds.
Same with this one...
Ohno asks what I had been wondering. It really does seem like he gets a very small amount of screen time.
Earlier Sho had been complaining that finding him in the clips he was in was harder that finding waldo. So naturally he gets all excited when he finds him in the next clip.
So yes he actually had a line in this one, it was one word "Taichou". Apparently he gets speaking roles every so often. But they're never very long.
So they talk to his mom about her thoughts on his job and she says she wants him to quit. I get the feeling that she's not too thrilled about him having this job. I guess I understand I mean after twenty years at his job he still has nothing to show for it.
So since he's decided to quit they decide to make a movie with him as a lead (note: by movie I mean it's about as long as movie trailers are...)
They bring in the director of Pikan'chi to help with it. I knew I recognized him from somewhere...
He wants to see the guys acting ability so he has him pretend to be chased and killed by Jason. Sho plays Jason. Sho's method for acting as Jason: running after the guy screaming "I'm Jason".
The guy's acting: "It's Jason!" gets hit, lies down and closes his eyes... I can see there is some work to do on his part...
You know I would make another joke about his acting not looking good and all but I feel as if I've been fairly mean to him already...
Oh yes, so Sho and Ohno are part of this "movie" Sho is Ohno's mom and Ohno is a high school student who failed his college entrance exam... I see no acting on Sho's part.
This cap is mostly here because I suddenly thought, "wow they do look alike". I think it's that they both have their eyes closed...
So he plays a passionate teacher. Who has broken glasses? I don't get it.
So at some point in the conversation on his phone he says something about getting back to eating his chicken... guys he was eating instant noodles...maybe it was chicken flavor?
Mama!Sho tells student!Ohno to stop contemplating suicide and get down here or else he gets no eel tonight. Why do I feel like this would work on Ohno in real life?
Sho gets to have the "humorous" lines in this "movie"...I like quotation marks too much don't I?
Beginning of Sho's fun faces.
You know I think he makes this face a lot but the curly wig kind of cracks me up a lot.
Ohno's eyes were glowing. It had to be capped.
Ohno looks so incredulous here. And thus the episode ends.
