BootLEGOs! Made in China? Seems likely...

"BRICK." Even despite the Engrish being funny on its own, the fact that they were trying to replicate the LEGO logo in the exact same font, but saying "BRICK," has to be the funniest part. Also note my commentary on the right of the screen, to see what other treasures I found at that market!

Right down to saying "LEGO" on the studs? Or do they say "BRICK," too?

It was indeed. I suplement my series of videos on funny counterfeited toues whenever I can. There are some truly hirlarious things to found, as these articles can attest to very well.

Is that your real voice?
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

In one of his other videos, he attributes it to Aspergers.

Why do I find the misspeling of the word "hilarious" funny?

Almost as funny as "toues." I don't know why I made so many typos there, but if you it's funny to misspell a single word like "hilarious," I'd just love to hear what you thought of the Team Rocket's Rockin' article.

I'm not quite sure that's what it is. Basically it comes from my being hard-of-hearing (hence it sounds just like a normal voice on my end), and possibly being congested a lot of the time. Whether warped perception from Aspergers is the cause of the first problem, I don't know.
