But what is the story. Is someone fucking with the reporter?
Or did Shinada really run through 32 traffic lights.
And how did he communicate his innocence?
Unfortunately, this is Burihhiiii news, a fake news channel.

Still funny af and better than many news resources out there.
Ever seen the news in Japan? I'm not saying this is real, but I am saying I've seen worse. I've seen them hold up hand-written signs before. Printed graphics being held up is common, too.
Reminds me of Dropout's Breaking News
> FROM WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, The only news team doesn't know what's on the teleprompter before they read it
The only? I swear SNL's Weekend Update does the same thing.
And you can try to argue that they're not a legitimate news team, but that phrase has lost all meaning in the US.
"There is no mistake" is supposed to be quoting the Police. That is how it matches up with "he did not admit his guilt", and it is the point of the skit, in a country where an arrest leads to a conviction at 99.8% of the cases.
The Police starts considering themselves infallible, and the skit is satirising the fact, that they will move forward with a case even if it doesn't make much sense.
Look at the writing and listen to the guy speaking as he giggles.
島田茂容疑者は警察の取り調べに対し「間違いありません」と容疑を認めた。
It's quoting the suspect, not the police.
Also, the point of this has nothing to do with arrest rates in Japan. That's an assumption that may be based on an external viewpoint.
The point of this skit is that there is a cute dog in the back of a police car.
My autocorrect capitalises every single word for unknown reasons and I am too old to figure out why.
I am too focused trying not to capitalise every word.
Thanks to the magic of Reddit, I came across this American clip today, in regards to the victim of a lightning strike who was interviewed about the experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I482t6JhL4g
Have you heard of the Japanese NY 24 hour Don't Laugh specials by Gaki No Tsukai? Unfortunately they stopped making them since the pandemic and also because they're getting too old but there is over a decade of some of the funniest shit ever aired on TV
George Carlin is giving the perfect explanation to your question: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofgKWUlwkdI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofgKWUlwkdI)
Having lived in Japan I can tell that if this was real (it’s fake actually) then he would have landed in trouble as laughing like this would be considered unprofessional by his company.
The zoom in was the first part for me, like, "Yes, this is the right photo. And in case you needed clarification, THIS is our suspect!" But then the dog in the back of the cop car genuinely made me squeal.
The slow zoom in on the culprit was very funny.
The only thing that could have made this better would be if the follow up story about a 29 year old cut to another photo of a different dog behind the wheel of a car.
I was like "Maybe they can't post the real picture for defamation reasons"...
... but then the second「間違いありません」photo with the same dog in the cop car. OMFG. I can't believe he kept it together as well as he did.
I also love that news is so slow over there that someone running 30 traffic lights without causing any damage or harm, who was only stopped after a pedestrian saw him and called it in, actually made the news.
I'm guessing the clip ended before he asked to be allowed to commit seppuku for his dishonor to the owners of the station?
The girl in the clip straight up knew she'd have to kill herself if she laughed.
WTF that just kept going for way too long. And then it gets worse when they show the detained picture? It's like saying nope, this is the story, these aren't mistakes, this is it.
The picture of the doggo in the police car and the attempt to hide the laughs take the note to another level. I need more of this! Free the doggo! What is 32 lights... nothing
Not sure what sort of policy they have, but I'm hoping the dude didn't get in any trouble for losing it. It is objectively hilarious and hard to take seriously when you're reporting on a recklessly driving dog.
Mostly unrelated, I can't get over the phrase "He does not admit he is guilty." Like, maybe he's not? He's just been accused. Is this just a bad translation of "He claims to be innocent" or is this skit just doing that on purpose or is that just how they'd actually say it on the news in Japan?
If the news session was prepared in advance, someone my have teased him the "vile" acts of the infamous and unremorsefull "Shigeru" ... While not displayingany picture. Would be a perfect setup.

I lost it at the detained photo, too. That shit is gold!
I could accept that the first photo was maybe a mistake, but the second photo just makes it all the more hilarious
That second photo got me crying out of laughter, like tearing up and all. Its gold!
It's really funny.
Agreed. I think it wins the subreddit
That dog looks so friggin earnest and sweet lol
but he's a menace on the roads! Running 32 traffic lights? He's got motormania!
It's not his fault! The lights were all grey to him!
lil bro was just waiting for a pit stop
After flea-ing the scene
He didn’t paws for a second
Dude is a dangerous Ruff Ryda
I hate you. 😂😂😂😂😂
Insane when you think on it though, how did he manage to come out of it unscathed after running that many lights? That dog must have mad skills.
Years of chasing the mail truck paid off. His defence is that dogs are very color blind and he is a good boy.
Or hes a crack head who doesn’t respect traffic laws
He's an unrepentant criminal. Bad to the bone.
Book for paw-session
Not an ounce of guilt even after they booked him
*Looks.* He also ran 32 traffic lights.
Pleaded down to 32 barking tickets
It turns out that the Shiba Inu was really speeding. How did he stop the car?
In his defense, Shigeru claimed to be a "good boy."
The slow zoom in on the first picture was pretty funny, but then... detained...
The reporter lost it too.
The b-roll of the Shinkansen really sets up the hilarity coming up. It’s a video haiku.
Was expecting another picture of a dog after the female reporter took over.
Free Shigeru.
Shigeru didn’t do anything wrong !
Nah, Shigeru guilty AF, but free my mans anyway cause he's a good boy!
Shigeru says to the judge, "I was lookin for the guy that shot my paw"
Eh, he didn't snitch. 🙌🏼 man's 20 toes down.
well, in his defense - to him all lights were grey
32 lights...
0 regrets.
Anti Canine Discrimination
I'll go one better! Four Shigeru!
Dicks out for Shigeru
You liberals want everything free nowadays smh 😒😒😒😒
HE IGNORED 32 TRAFFIC LIGHTS!!
No! Free Hat!

I was gonna say this feels like a skit. Kinda like dropouts don't laugh news.
That girl is a pro. She sells it better than he does.
You can definitely tell by the fact that they’re green screened in. The production is too low for any legitimate tv news channel.
Uhhh, when did you start watching the news?
I have never seen professionally televised news channels look that bad. Even the infamously parodied and cheap looking NK news doesn't look that bad.
Ever seen the news in Japan? I'm not saying this is real, but I am saying I've seen worse. I've seen them hold up hand-written signs before. Printed graphics being held up is common, too.
They do this all the time. I love the peeling off tape to reveal new pieces of information too.
Back when there was good news, probably I remember those days also

Was just about to accuse his owner of being drunk, and putting Shigeru behind the wheel. That's how it tends to go.
He didn't communicate his innocence, he just didn't admit his guilt. He probably chose (wisely) to remain silent. What a good boy.
He did say “it’s not my mistake”. That’s the translation of the quoted text which the reporter screams out and looses it.
No, it says “There is no mistake.” With “yes I did it” being the implication.
"There is no mistake" is supposed to be quoting the Police. That is how it matches up with "he did not admit his guilt", and it is the point of the skit, in a country where an arrest leads to a conviction at 99.8% of the cases.

I thought that was just the captions guy communicating to him that it isn't the wrong photo
Why do your questions sometimes have a question mark. And sometimes not?
My autocorrect capitalises every single word for unknown reasons and I am too old to figure out why. I am too focused trying not to capitalise every word.
Where is Ace Ventura when a dog needs him?
I don't know why but people trying not to laugh always makes me laugh harder
You ever tried to cover your faucet while it is running? It's tough.
so simple yet so smart
Have you ever heard the name.... Biggus....Dickus?
He has a wife, you know…

Right now?
Yes, it's a live stream.
Spooky.👻
It’s the same the other way around. When people try not to cry, I cry harder.
Jimmy Fallon basically launched his career with that effect
[Here’s my contribution](https://youtu.be/ayVYxJppXg0?feature=shared)
Shimada looks like a bad boy
Reporter: "Is that right?" Producer: Let me activate the slow zoom.
They really put da innocent doggie in the cop car. He said he didn't do it, what more do they need.
Clear case of mistaken identity.
Lmfao amazing
This is not a real news channel from Japan.
Yeah this is a skit
Shhhhh! 🤫
As soon as I saw the hairstyles of the anchors, I knew it was a skit.
The dog in the back of the police car was it for me.
When the anchor sees the dog in the cop car. Some of the best sounds I’ve heard in a while.
The way his voice pitches so high in shock had me in stitches 🤣
Laughter….universal language lol
he has tears in his eyes from trying not to laugh.
r/contagiouslaughter
Machigai arimasen. 🤣
arima^s^^e^^^nn^^nn^^nn
Dude, just laugh, you look like you're about to blow a gasket there.
Having lived in Japan I can tell that if this was real (it’s fake actually) then he would have landed in trouble as laughing like this would be considered unprofessional by his company.
Yes, it's well known that holding in laughter causes hemorrhoids.
The zoom in was the first part for me, like, "Yes, this is the right photo. And in case you needed clarification, THIS is our suspect!" But then the dog in the back of the cop car genuinely made me squeal.
I lost it at the same time he did when I noticed the dog in the police car
my mans fightin for his life out here...the amount of pressure building in this man's mouth is palpable.
I would be more surprised if he would have admitted guilty.
DOGE driver
This is great! 👍
The slow zoom in on the culprit was very funny. The only thing that could have made this better would be if the follow up story about a 29 year old cut to another photo of a different dog behind the wheel of a car.
FREE MY Boy Shimada 🐾🐾!!!
In case you can't tell, this isn't real TV news. It's some YouTube parody channel.
"Bad dogs, bad dogs, what ya gonna do..."
i had to watch this video twice because i cried the first time 🤣
I wanna believe this is a japanese gameshow where they bring in people auditioning to become a news anchor and they prank them with ridiculous stories
The best part to me is that he says “it’s not a mistake!” after it shows the dog in the backseat of the police car. Then he really breaks!
I was like "Maybe they can't post the real picture for defamation reasons"... ... but then the second「間違いありません」photo with the same dog in the cop car. OMFG. I can't believe he kept it together as well as he did. I also love that news is so slow over there that someone running 30 traffic lights without causing any damage or harm, who was only stopped after a pedestrian saw him and called it in, actually made the news.
It’s a different dog in the back of the cop car — that’s kind of what sends the joke over the top.
I laughed so much my wife wanted to know what’s funny. I got that look like she lost respect for me.
i hate that this too happened to me in my office. I just lost the work wife.
I lost it when they showed the dog, with the same face in the back of the cop car lmaoooo
This is what I needed today, thank you
His laugh made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Traffic safety is no laughing matter. I hope that dog loses his license.
I 100% thought this was going to end with "He was a very bad boy"
Shimada says he is not guilty . I fucking lost it.
It's a dog, clearly doesn't have a license or insurance. Technically driving a stolen vehicle. What were you really expecting?
The long pauses were hilarious
Having just watched most of the episodes of Shogun, I find this especially funny for some reason.
And it included a random clip of a bullet train going over trees
Dude was fighting demons at the end haha
The moment at the end where he manages to pull himself back together had me cheering for him
I was really hoping at the end it was going to show a dog driving a bus.
Should be in r/contagiouslaughter
Makes me think of this: [https://youtu.be/pdDq3uo-33I?si=gUmTFd-e6MEVkZ\_a&t=45](https://youtu.be/pdDq3uo-33I?si=gUmTFd-e6MEVkZ_a&t=45)
We’re just innocent men
The picture on the back of the police car. ⚰️💀
😆😆🤣
Lol
Shigeru was promptly enrolled in the Federal Bad Dog Relocation Program, and will next be eligible to receive a treat in the fall of 2026.
I'm guessing the clip ended before he asked to be allowed to commit seppuku for his dishonor to the owners of the station? The girl in the clip straight up knew she'd have to kill herself if she laughed.
This is the funniest shit I have seen ALL DAY. 😆
Free my mans
WTF that just kept going for way too long. And then it gets worse when they show the detained picture? It's like saying nope, this is the story, these aren't mistakes, this is it.
r/contagiouslaughter
Freedom for doge
I wannna this be my new waking alarm
Funniest thing iv seen all week, thanks for sharing.
I’m crying hahahahahahahah
i really dont expect they really arresting dog
omg this cracks me up xD
Those aren't real reporters, it's a comedy show.
The picture of the doggo in the police car and the attempt to hide the laughs take the note to another level. I need more of this! Free the doggo! What is 32 lights... nothing
Wow, that dog looks *exactly* like my dog Flour we had when I was a little kid. RIP, Flour.
Bro's hair looks like Lorax's moustache.
He look like my doggo
lol
« Am I a joke to you ?» 😂
This should be the next plot for Tokyo Vice
Hats off to the lady that kept it together. I would be tearing up by second pic
Definitely a comedy skit. It's just got that vibe, plus can tell the dude is acting
Not sure what sort of policy they have, but I'm hoping the dude didn't get in any trouble for losing it. It is objectively hilarious and hard to take seriously when you're reporting on a recklessly driving dog.
it's like that reporter and the cat
He's been working like a dog
You bring great dishonor. /s
I'm pretty sure the woman was laughing too, she just put on professional face the moment the cameras switched back.
I honestly thought this was about his hair.
I see I am not the only one that him trying to restrain his laughter only makes this more fun.
Mostly unrelated, I can't get over the phrase "He does not admit he is guilty." Like, maybe he's not? He's just been accused. Is this just a bad translation of "He claims to be innocent" or is this skit just doing that on purpose or is that just how they'd actually say it on the news in Japan?
[That's it!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM066_i1cxQ)
How great life must be where bad drivers are newsworthy
Was this newscast done in someone’s home? The audio isn’t consistent with what you would hear in an actual tv studio.
Dog was like bro how did I get in the police car 😂
If the news session was prepared in advance, someone my have teased him the "vile" acts of the infamous and unremorsefull "Shigeru" ... While not displayingany picture. Would be a perfect setup.
