# Talk:The Fuccons

Released in Japan as a DVD set during 2003, this series was first viewed by Japanese as a late-night television show during 2002.  The creation of Yoshimasa Ishibashi, whom won many awards internationally for this brain-child, contains a synopsis in which an American family moves to Japan and faces the everyday challenges of living as foriegners in this unfamiliar country.  It is expressed by Tokyo venders online and even by American marketing as "Fashionably hip and gut-splitting funny, the Fuccon Family and their circle of friends and acquaintances won't fail to entertain. Once you see The Fuccon Family, you'll love them."  
HOWEVER, the characters of this American family are mindless mannequins whom waste their life gawking at random objects and laughing for no reason at all.  Their existence is devoid of any critical thinking, the wife permanant laughing at nothing-- and the husband grinning, stupidly.  The child, having hardly a choice under their role-modeling, mimicks their idiot behavior.  Although this has been mentioned as a "cult classic" I have not seen any explicit writings online confronting the political statements being made within this film.  Whether Yoshimasa was intentional in his expression of western society and American anti-intellectualism, he certainly portrayed a very important issue that needs to be recognized.

Sorry, but Wikipedia does not serve as a forum for personal reviews from its members.  That falls under the category of opinion and original reasearch.  I've reverted your changes. -- Dpark 00:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

The character descriptions I've added are based only upon the first 3 DVDs released by ADV Films. Feel free to add any additional recurring characters who appeared in later episodes. Also, my understanding is the original Japanese characters have the same names as those in the English version (which makes since since most of them are American or British characters anyway). If any of the characters, however, have different Japanese names, please add this. Also, the fact there are Fuccons restaurants is a fact stated on the DVD boxes (plus I've heard about this elsewhere, too). I think a section should be added regarding this by someone more familiar with the topic. 23skidoo 21:56, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I just discovered that a new series of Oh Mikey episodes - longer than the ones previously aired -- were created for the series Vermilion Pleasure Night and the Fuccons also appeared in the theatrical spin-off of that show. The VPN DVD that I have includes an episode which is definitely a finale for the Fuccons saga. Does anyone have any information that can be added to this article? The info I have is too sketchy to use. 23skidoo 04:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

how is there no mention of this photographer in the article. The show is clearly based upon his work. The Bernard Faucon article mentions The Fuccons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Faucon  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.93.83 (talk) 04:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC) 

Reply to old comment, but I wanted to mention that I removed mention of Bernard Faucon because there is no reliable independent source stating that the series was inspired by his works. Anyone is free to readd the information once a source has been located. lullabying (talk) 04:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Why isn't there any mention of the TV commercials in which these characters have appeared? Boneyard90 (talk) 06:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
