- CuriosidadesThis "TV pilot" is actually an American-made parody of a Japanese TV show. There are several perhaps intentional mistakes in the pilot: - The label of the green coffee bag is upside down katakana, but only says gibberish. - The news channel being shown is in Chinese, not Japanese. - The actors are badly trying to hide their North American accent. The daughter is speaking Japanese in obvious North American accent. - The crew listed in the credits all have American sounding names. They are just written in katakana.

Reseña destacada
It's easy for some to call Tokyo Breakfast racist and sophomoric due to the content of what it's parodying. In reality, though, this short film is a completely brilliant and well-executed multi-level satire of:
1- America's emulation of black culture. 2- Japan's blind emulation of American culture. 3- America's stereotyped perception of Asian people.
The execution is nothing short of genius. It's just a shame that most people don't get it. They choose to lump Tokyo Breakfast in with the very dime-a-dozen comedies that it is parodying. That's a mistake.
Watch this short film if you can find it. And just try to remember to think of it as a social critique before you go off, get offended, and start typing out your disgust in the form of an IMDb review. The pair that wrote and directed this thing aren't high school idiots. They've worked with the Onion. They know comedy/satire and they know what they're doing. So let's just trust them, OK?
