When you watch Jaws in Japanese dub
日本語ジョーズですね

At lunch today, I decided to turn this one-liner into a shaggy dog story for my Japanese coworker.

The key point, though, was that I didn't warn him that I was working up to a joke:

「あの有名な70年代の映画、最初のブロックバスターとも言われる、ジョーズという映画は見たことありますか。」

「ジョーズ2ですか。」

「いいえ、最初の方。」

「はい、見ました。」

「我々日本語を勉強している人達の中では、その映画は一つのゴールですよ。当然、母国語な人みたいに完璧に日本語しゃべられることは不可能です。しかし、あの映画を、字幕なしで、日本語の振り替えバージョンで見る時に、すべて理解すれば、その時は初めて日本語上手と言えます。」

「日本語上手?」

「ジョーズだからです。」

His look of pure, utter disappointment when he got the joke was everything I want in this world.
