Filthy Frank uploaded “HOW TO SAY HELLO IN 30 LANGUAGES” on YouTube in 2012, but his impression of saying hello in Asian countries was the reoccurring joke of the camera zooming in on the guy, while he’s screaming “Welcome to the rice fields, motherf*****”.

Shortly after this, the clip was reposted on the subreddit /r/youtubehaiku.
