So here’s the video of Kunio Kato’s Oscar speech (he directed the animated short La Maison en Petits Cubes) from last night.  In concluding his short speech with “Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,” he somehow managed to both pander to the crowd and be endearing at the same time (hope you were taking notes, Leno).  I was also trying to think what the equivalent of this speech would be for an American winning an award in Japan.  A few ideas:

“Welcome ta Earff.”
“Sheeeeeit.”
“You f-ck mah wife?”
“Muh muh muh my Sharona.”
“You got knocked da FUGGOUT!”
“Seacrest, out.”
“Yo, homes, smell ya later.”
“Cowabunga.”
“Hey Mickey you’re so fine.”
“I’ll be there fooor youuuuu…”
“Janie’s cryin’ [got a gun].”
“WHY IS IT BURNED?/NO NOT THE BEES! AAAARRGGGHH!!!”

Feel free to submit your own. [hat tip to HolyTaco on the video]
