Some more engrish for you.

Ok. It's not genuine engrish. I had a chuckle or two. Even though there's nothing offensive, I wouldn't check this while at work.

Bleh, those are some crappy Engrish posters. Well designed edits but most of the folks there don't seem to be able to write convincing Engrish. Most are just wacky or 2nd grade alterations of the posters, not indicative of English attempted by Japanese folks who never learned correct participles and infinitives.

Even "BRADE" isn't that convincing.

It's funny, but not convincing.

We know it's not actual Engrish, but I think what the previous posters basically said is that the posters on that site do a poor job of trying to mimic Engrish. I have to agree too. One of my favorite parodies of Engrish was Futurama's take on it. "Iron-a Kook-u"

Yes, but I find entertainment in 'super hurt fun time'? :P

And somehow the idea that super mario brothers wouldn't translate well into japanese IS rather funny, but perhaps the joke is on the people who made that poster.

Bah, the posters are lousy.

Here's the real deal. Accept no fake substitutes.
