MAMA HUHU, AND ALWAYS WACKILY UPBEAT

Sometimes you discover that other people are vastly different. So much so that they might as well be from another continent!
Oh wait. They are.


CHINESE COMEDY ON YOUTUBE

The phrase 'mama huhu' (馬馬虎虎 "horse-horse tiger-tiger", in Cantonese 'maa maa fu fu') has a multiplicity of meanings, ranging from "it's okay" through "well, not that bad" and "so-so", to "all in all rather damned mediocre". It is a very flexible expression.

As well as the name of a funny video series.

Which is rather often excellent.

Nice hip young people presenting a freshly innocent look at modern life. Sure, a bit stereotypic, but entertaining and intelligent too.

Do please note that buying condoms for the first time is an act of wishful thinking in all cultures. It sometimes happens up to a decade before they ever might be employed, at which time one may not remember where they are, or if one actually packed them at the time one moved to a different abode. Perhaps one left them in one's sock drawer, along with all the magazines that weren't Time or Newsweek.


Hypothetical letter home: "Dear Mom, Please tip the contents of the top drawer of the dresser in my room into a large box, and mail it to me as soon as possible. Do NOT look inside. It's nothing but socks. Trust me. I felt a sudden urge to wear the same socks I wore as a young grammar school student, because I miss you and the old man so much. 
Sincerely, Little Duck Face.
PS.: Don't look!"


Mama Huhu has many other videos on youtube.
Some of them are painfully funny.
Go take a look.
