    That and the Samsung Galaxy thing in the op are both really awful Dan Nainan bits, the joke is that sushi is Japanese and a lot of Indian Americans own 7/11 franchises, so the Japanese thing in the Indian American owned store is the thing the guy who's half of both is what he gets there, which would probably be terrible sushi if 7/11s actually sell sushi

    Him and Tom Myers both are recurring subjects of mockery and ironic praise on

      Thanks for explaining! I'm not a westerner and I don't really follow what's going on in the west as much, so I'm out of the loop on a lot of these things. Like, now I wonder how come a lot of Indian-Americans own 7/11 franchises lol.

      Why would sushi sold in 7/11 be terrible, though? Are foods sold in 7/11 usually that bad? ^^;

        I don't even think 7/11s sell sushi for one haha, but it's a convenience store where it's mostly for people to buy a packaged snack like chips or candy and a drink on a commute and the hot food you can buy is like hot dogs that are sitting all day on rollers under a heat lamp. The joke is I guess about how food from there has a reputation for not being that fresh, and sushi is a food that you want to serve as fresh as you can.

        I'm not really sure why there's such a widespread thing of Indian immigrants owning convenience stores in the US, but it seems pretty common. It's more just South Asians in general and not Indians specifically, I know a Pakistani family that own a local store, but I guess a lot of Americans probably don't know or care about the difference.
