This alien likes watermelons and bananas, apparently.

The NicoNico-loving among you are probably aware of this fairly profound video already, but for everybody else: I present to you Supoo (スプー). Supoo is, simply put, a wondrous monstrosity of an alien that children were taught to draw on Japanese airwaves several years ago. Accompanying the drawing is a wondrous song that actually does mention that Supoo likes watermelones and bananas, but you don't need to understand a word of it to really comprehend why Supoo is such a, er, beloved creature on much of the Japanese-speaking Internet.

Can't say I get the implied humor here, but I'm probably looking too hard.

Supoo is not very kawaii on the evidence of those adult depictions of the creature. I much prefer the little kids drawings :D

That show looks surprisingly normal...

The girl can't sing or draw and the guy keeps losing it because of that fact? He bursts out laughing at the end

You can tell from their body language that he is comfortable with drawing while she isn't. Well it's fun anyway, I'm sure it was done on purpose so they have a drawing that looks like what the kids will come up with so they can identify with it, and one really good drawing to aspire to.

He's such a sarcastic prick! Joozu desu ne, indeed.

That's no Bob Ross painting there!

Man that guys a dick for laughing at that girl's drawing. And this show is for kids? my god.......

Understanding what they're saying makes it even more bizarre.

I was like, "well this isn't THAT weird; I've seen plenty of stranger stuff on Japanese television"....

Then they said he likes to eat watermelons.

" @Yunvon: Is this sufficient for your needs, good sir?

While Japanese kids were drawing watermelon eating aliens, I was watching Mr Squiggle:

Hahaha that girl can't draw for shit. I like how the parody captures that fact quite well.

I like watermelons... AND bananas... oh god.

"baka baka" does that mean what I think it means?

I'm acutely sensitive to "baka" because it's one of the few Japanese words I know, so sometimes I wind up hearing it when it isn't there :)  I'm betting you're 100% right.

Japan is awesome, i dont understand anything they do there though.....
