I love everything about this video. It calls out the subway for what it really is: One of the worst places on Earth. The only beefs that I have with Johnny T are that his accent is a little extreme and he is a spineless Yankees fan. But his rules were very accurate. Here are a few that Johnny left out:
1. If all the subway cars of a train are full except for one, DO NOT GO IN THAT CAR. Because there is a dead homeless person inside that smells like shit. Actually smells like shit is wrong. They smell like dead homeless person, which is a very unique smell that you will never know (or forget) until you actually smell it.
2. If you are going on the 7 train, you will be swarmed by Asians the same way NYC was swarmed by killer bees in the Wu-Tang Triumph video. Just close your eyes and protect ya neck.
3. Do not ever look a street performer in the eyes. Their lifeless, soulless glance will actually make you think about paying $1 for that absolutely horrific rendition of Jingle Bells. You must put your headphones in and glue your eyes to the floor the second that glorified pan-handler asks for everyone’s attention.
And while Johnny T did a bang up job, we can all agree that nothing beats Kneehigh Park when it comes to learning about life in the city.

This applies to every subway in the world. Perhaps Japan. Great clip.
