A Lesson In History

For those of you who don’t know, I really like sketch comedy. So much so, that I am a proud member of two different, extremely funny groups (that’s not an opinion, by the way. It’s a fact). I’ll admit it: I was a bit worried about The Institute this semester. Not that I don’t have complete faith in Luke and the rest of the cast, but six members of your approximately nine person cast go abroad for a semester it’s easy to find cause for worry. As I knew they would, they blew me out of the water with their new slew of videos.

This one, for example — “The History of The Institute” — is a real treat for those who have been with us since we began three semesters ago. Self-parody and spot-on editing make for a heady draught of comedic ambrosia. Sure, it’s a bit self-indulgent, but this is the house that I helped build and I’m glad to see it’s still standing tall. Way to go, guys, way to go.

Check out other Institute videos here.

A Gaijin Primer:

In Japan, when eating grapes, one does not eat the skin. Rather, you suck out the innards and deposit your refuse in the appropriate receptacle.

Ex: ”ええ?顔を食べた?野蛮人!”
"What? You eat the skin [lit. "face"]? Barbarian!"
