Hey back to the video... can someone explain exactly what is so FUNNY? The hosts and audience are cracking up at seemingly random places. And what exactly is the show about anyway?

My stepmom says "orientals", but maybe that's just the way she was raised. Even when telling stories about her and her cousins growing up she doesn't really say "Here's us, a group of Japanese girls"
