Jimmy Kimmel Calls Americans “Garbage People” After Visit to Japan
If Jimmy Kimmel is shocked by how clean Japan is, he would probably have a heart attack if he visited Singapore:
The late-night host Jimmy Kimmel said observing hygiene standards in Japan drastically changed his perspective of cleanliness in the US and that he’d “never felt dirtier” in his home country.
Kimmel said Tuesday evening on an episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that before going to Japan on a seven-day family trip, he thought the US was “pretty buttoned-up” despite having areas for improvement.
“But now, after traveling to Japan, I realize that this place, this USA we’re always chanting about, is a filthy and disgusting country,” he said.
Kimmel added that he was blown away, in particular, by Japan’s bathrooms.
“Not only did I not encounter a single dirty bathroom, the bathrooms in Tokyo and Kyoto are cleaner than our operating rooms here,” Kimmel said.
The TV star lauded the loos at Japanese truck stops, which he said were “cleaner than Jennifer Garner’s teeth.”
“It’s like the whole country is Disneyland, and we’re living at Six Flags. I’ve been home 36 hours. I’ve never felt dirtier,” he said.
Kimmel added that he was impressed by how Tokyo residents didn’t litter despite the lack of public trash cans, which were removed by local authorities in the wake of the 1995 sarin gas attacks.
“They’re like, OK, no more trash cans. Everybody clean up after yourselves. And guess what? They clean up after themselves,” Kimmel said.
“We are like hogs compared to the Japanese. I can’t imagine what they must think of us,” Kimmel said. “Oh, the garbage people. Yes, the Americans. Garbage. Yes.”

You can read more at the link, but I think his criticism is mostly correct, but in most smaller towns in the U.S. I still find to be very clean, but larger cities due to all the homeless, drugs, and crime have turned into absolute dumps. I believe if homelessness, drugs, and crime issues are improved the cleanliness of cities would improve with it.
Kimmel does hang out in LA with Democrats, so I can understand why he says garbage.
His ilk force us to take in garbage people, then force us to allow them to squat/loot/thieve/vandalize/litter with impunity. Then complain everything look like garbage.
When we drive through Wyoming to get to S Dakota, it looks like America used to. Heck, even most of Colorado looked that way 10 or so years ago. Now the Evergreen Walmart (the nicest Walmart I had ever seen in my life five years ago, and I’ve been to a lot of. Walmarts in a lot of different states) had to close the self checkout because too many vagrants were stealing.
Seriously, this annoys me (coming from Kimmel).
If we had laws like they do in Singapore, we’d look more like Singapore or Japan. Did Kimmel cheer when they caned that brat for vandalizing cars, or was he on team Clinton (woe is me, please don’t touch that fine boy)?
That was the beginning of this nonsense. To paraphrase Hemingway “It starts gradually, then all at once”.
I’m pretty sure American cities have laws about littering, etc…. it’s just a matter of enforcing them. Which, these days, means getting over the pathological fear of being called racist.
To paraphrase Hemingway “It starts gradually, then all at once”.
He may have been quoting Seneca, who about 2000 years ago, said, “…increases are of sluggish growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.”
There is a mathematical model called the Seneca effect that looks at “cases of rapid decline across societies (including the fall of empires, financial crises, and major famines), in nature (including avalanches), and through man-made systems (including cracks in metal objects).”
This model is quite valid for many things. It is abused for things like climate tipping points and other nonsense.
And it is well-known by those who are engineering rapid decline in economy, societal order, and global peace.
Because they not only know the Seneca effect…
…but they also know the Seneca Rebound.
This is the part where implementing a completely new designed system is easier with the old system out of the way than trying to evolve it.
Now, you think the new system will be your dream and make marginalized people of color into astronauts and CEOs regardless of ability, disband the racist police, open the borders for those poor military-aged men looking for a better life, bring victory to Ukraine, jail Tump, punch Nazis, and put a child tranny in every bed… but those are just tools to bring about decline.
Actually, you will live in a pod and eat bugs while your labor covers subscriptions for your few joys in life, mostly virtual.
This new system will come about so quickly, that it will mathematically fit the decline part more than the growth part.
And in lifestyle, it will be a decline.
Enjoy.
He didn’t say anything about those. Your quote shows he was talking about the filthy bathrooms in the US. Can you address the topic please?
Have you been to a public restroom in any part of China (see photo)? North Korea? Vietnam? The Philippines? Latin America? Sub-Saharan Africa?
Our politicians invited criminals to come here and bring their broken “culture” with them. Japan and Singapore have much stricter immigration laws that are actually enforced.
You can argue about the pig’s lipstick all you want, chinabot. We know what your hole looks like.
The answer is no. Next question.
