[Cosplay] A Hetalia Skit That Isn't Gay (but is a little bit racist!)

All right, so a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I had the idea to do a Hetalia "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" from Avenue Q as a masquerade skit. But I was preparing for my wedding at the time, and I had only seen a bit of the series. Then Katsucon rolled by this year, and I was SO impressed by all the historical costumes, and by [livejournal.com profile] mithrigil's 1776 Hetalia skit that I went home and marathoned the whole thing with my husband. We decided to give the skit a go at Anime Next. We've been doing skits together for 6 years now, and I can honestly say, this was THE MOST FUN we have EVER had doing one~! Our cast was great, we had fun and learned a lot while making our costumes, and the recording/rehearsal sessions were an absolute BLAST.

The audience seemed to really dig it (as did the judges, we won Best in Show which was COMPLETELY unexpected.) I hope you guys do too!

The cast:
[livejournal.com profile] ginnyseta - Belarus
[livejournal.com profile] madgophermm5 - America
[livejournal.com profile] neoangelwink - Ukraine
[livejournal.com profile] suzaku_seishi - France
[livejournal.com profile] roserevolution - Canada
[livejournal.com profile] jamminbison - Italy
[livejournal.com profile] rammyz - Prussia
[livejournal.com profile] siefer_sama - Japan
* Yes, America, France, and Japan are actually guys. Well, America is, I haven't checked personally for the other two ;-D

The videos:

This one has the entire skit, however, a little bit off to the side of the stage with Italy and Prussia was cut off.


This one is missing the first few lines, but you can see Italy and Prussia more.


Edit - One more for you that a friend JUST linked to. It has the MC intro, plus more Italy and Prussia. Just in case you REALLY wanted to see them!






The script (just in case you can't hear!):
America: Say Belarus, can I ask you a question?

Belarus: All right.

America: Well you know your sister Ukraine? I'd really like to move to HER country if you know what I mean...

Belarus: What?! Don't you know how poor she is?!

Ukraine: Oh no! My gigantic boobies have popped a button on my shirt! Tee hee!

America: BUT(T)! She has huge....tracks of land! I mean who wouldn't want to live in a country swimming with D cups?

Belarus: What are you trying to say?! All women from Ukraine have melons for breasts?! I find that racist!

America: Well geez, I'm sorry!

Belarus: I should say so! You should be much more careful when it comes to the sensitive subject of race!

America: Well what about you?

Belarus: What about me?

America: Well, didn't I hear you telling your brother that you think all Americans are fat, lazy, and eat nothing but fast food?

Belarus: ....You mean they don't?

America: You see?! You're a little bit racist!

Belarus: Well you're a little bit too!

America: I guess we're both a little bit racist!

Belarus: Admitting it is not an easy thing to do.

America: But I guess it's true.

Belarus: Between me and you, I think

Belarus and America: Everyone's a little bit racist today. So everyone's a little bit racist, okay! Ethnic jokes might seem uncouth, but you laugh because they're based on truth, don't take them as personal attacks! Everyone enjoys them, so relax!

America: All right Belarus, how do you sink an American battleship?

Belarus: How?

America: Have the French build it!

France: SACRE BLEU

America: Aw, crap.

France: You were telling a French joke!

Belarus: But France, everyone tells French jokes.

France: I don't.

America: Well of course you don't, you're French! But I bet you tell Italian jokes!

France: Well of course I do! Those pasta eating surrender monkeys!

Canada: No, no, no, no! Racism isn't some joke! It's aboot respect! It's aboot diplomacy! It's about courtesy!

America: What is it aboot? Is it aboot something? It's pronounced about you maple sucking moose humping midget!

Canada: Don't touch me eh! Don't make fun of my accent! How many languages do you speak?

America: Well, I do speak a little Eye-talian! Bonejornee, Areebadurchi, Penne ala vodka!

Canada: So, excuse my French, but uh....BLEEP mothertruckin-BLEEP cheeseburgar BLEEP health care BLEEP all that double downin- BLEEP ...........ps, you're fat.

Belarus: Uh....Canada, don't you think that's a little bit racist?

Canada: Well damn, I guess you're right, eh!

All: Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true, but everyone is just about as racist as you! If we all could just admit, that we are racist a little bit, and everyone stop being so PC, maybe we could live in harmony- GASP!

France: Sacre Bleu!

Japan: Evelyones a rittle bit lacist!


BTW, if anyone is interested in the audio, I can probably post it up, but not sure how many people would want to hear our singing more clearly x_X

I also just wanted to add that I am aware of the fact that at Colossalcon this year there was another Hetalia skit who used this same song and also won Best in Show (congratz again to you guys!) We are in different parts of the country and had no knowledge of each other, so please no dramu about that! It is a rather obvious idea if you know Hetalia and Avenue Q, and our skits turned out quite differently in the end.

Really hope you guys enjoy it even half as much as we enjoyed performing it!
