What are some of the weirdest western reference you have seen in anime.

>>152343720
I don't understand either of these.

I don't know about OP image, but in the second image, the character is imagining how she and her love interest would interact if they lived in America. And thinking she would be a lot more outgoing.
Basically, its a joke that Japanese people think all Americans are living in an American sitcom.

Seeing Obama join a life or death gambling tournament was a bit odd, even for Gamble Fish
>>152343822
I think the first one is a reference to Misery by stephen king? But im not sure
>>152343948
I haven't seen this anime but I think it's parodying a scene from misery where an obsessed fan hobbles her favorite author to force him to write a better ending.
>>152343517
>>152344146
No Obama cameo will ever come close to Air Gear's bizarreness. Hell, I don't think even Koizumi's rendition of the Bushes was on the same level.
>>152344307
Jumonji? I don't quite get it.
>>152344307
Is that Miyazaki?
>>152344380
I think I read about that on cracked, back when it was good.
Doesn't he switch bodies with a young girl and jerk off?
Seeing Obama switch bodies with a girl and join the main cast as a rollerskating gang memester.
>>152344385
Yes, it was actually Jumanji and they spend half an episode playing it.

The masturbation bit was only implied, but yes. Out of fucking nowhere, Barack Obama appears, and within his first like ten pages onscreen he's bodyswapped (which had never happened before in the series) with one of the supporting female characters. And then they take them away to try and fix it, and it's not mentioned for like 50 chapters, and then they show up again giving a speech in America.
The entirety of Shiori Experience

Oh, and I forgot his flashback about playing soccer in Africa and getting bombed or something. It was insane all-around, like many things in the second half of Air Gear.
>>152344540
That's cute, but the background and human characters don't match the tone of the pink character and its kind of bugging me.
>>152344506
That's really neat that they'd reference that. Not a national icon of a movie or well known like Misery.
>>152344656
Is Misery that well-known? I've never heard of it before this thread, but I'm pretty sure I saw Jumonji at least three times.

I love Jewelpet (RIP)
>>152344162
Definitely a Misery reference.

Sakamoto sang the piece in German.
>>152345460
Is there anything this man can't do?
>>152345460
So did she, technically.
If rather shitty German.
>>152344540
Jewelpets reference alot of things, I know one episode has a Johnny bravo looking character in it.
>>152347683
Koichoco has a bewitched and i dream of jeannie reference.
The Kirby episode where everyone is reading Harry Potter
>>152345243

Is jewelpet a good animoo?

>>152357505
Even though I don't particularly download Spanish subs since 2003, with the death of fansubs and 90% of stuff being HorribleSubs, maybe I should give them a chance. It'd be hard to deal with their font choices and encoding practices though.

Why did that even happen?
I had no clue that the Japanese were familiar with Looney Tunes
