My girlfriend: "more like cracker barrel"

[-] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 14 points 6 months ago

"more crackers, princess?" wheels in a literal barrel of crackers

The guy in the middle looks like he's in a emo band from the mid 2000's

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 47 points 6 months ago

Weird way of saying "he's hot as fuck"

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 37 points 6 months ago

To each their own...

But you're objectively wrong.

Weird way of saying “there appearance inspires me to have feelings related to copulating. “

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 months ago

That's just a standard kpop haircut.

[-] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

In the 80s we would have called him a Curebody.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I had Robert Smith hair in those days. Lots of ratting and Aqua Net Extra Super Hold in the pink can.

That, or he took a pic of his favorite anime character to his hair stylist.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

More like a point near the center of a triangle of early-80s British synthpop and rock, somewhere between Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet and The Cure.

[-] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

More like a karen

Not even that weird for Japan.

Been to a few maid cafes, only seems fair that lady customers can get their WTFs in too.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

If there's equal opportunity for everyone to access fucked up things then that's equality, right?

It’s somehow reassuring to see that there is occidentalism in Asia that’s every bit as absurd as orientalism in the West. Westerners get Chinese character tattoos which supposedly mean something spiritual but really are a grocery list, Asia gets T-shirts with nonsense phrases in English. The West gets tropes of the “Mystic East” which mash China, Japan, Thailand and India together into a melange of pagodas and temples, Asia gets stories set in “European” settings that combine England, Switzerland and Venice or something similarly absurd. Europe gets Fu Manchu, Asia gets Bobson Dugnutt. And now this.

[-] Subtle@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

It's kinda beautiful in a way

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Reminds me of this cool western design shirt I found in a store in Tokyo

It's called a "butler cafe", basically the opposite of a maid cafe.

They haven't clearly gone through hospitality academy; they brought the wrong spoon for desert and ruined my day.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago

"Sorry, princess."

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 49 points 6 months ago

I believe the proper formal phrasing is "Well excuuuuuse me, Princess!"

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

"Sorry, your Worship", cosplaying as Leia and Han!

Let me know if anyone opens a depressed Uncle Iroh Cafe.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

PS: Uncle Iroh before getting ripped in prison.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Surely it'd be a teahouse?

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 6 months ago

He seems happy and content with that tea house of his.

From left to right

Discount Rupert Grint - the real one has an ice cream van and is therefore superior.

Main protagonist syndrome

Everyone's cousin

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

What is this Ouran Highschool Host Club?

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 30 points 6 months ago

Are they accepting applications? It doesn't sound like an awful way to spend a few hours each day. The networking possibilities alone.

Do they have an opening for a fat, bald white guy wearing sweat pants and a stained wife beater? I could show them what a REAL white guy is like.

A weeb's dream job

[-] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Each of the guys look exactly like someone who would move to Japan for the chance to serve Japanese ladies cake.

[-] SharkAttak@kbin.social 17 points 6 months ago

Well the "white men" should be handsome, so there's no hope for that dream.

[-] MacedWindow@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

The US needs host clubs too!
