A Japanese pool player is stopping major traffic on social media, thanks to not one but two of his hilarious post-match interviews. 'No English, no problem' was Naoyuki Oi's loud and clear message when asked to speak about his matches during the World Pool Masters championship. Mr Oi's first interview went viral after he reached the quarter finals of the tournament. "My name is Naoyuki Oi. Today very lucky. Congratulation me!" he says during the viral interview with Sky Sports' presenter Tony Wrighton. His second interview, equally entertaining, came a day later. If you need a couple of laughs today, these videos are a must watch.
The viral video shows Mr Wrighton asking Mr Oi about his winning shot. Clearly not too comfortable with the language, the player is seen replying... by singing the
Pen Pineapple Apple Pen song.
"I've not ever done an interview quite like this Naoyuki," says Mr Wrighton visibly stunned by the answer.
Trust us, if the interview seems bizarre so far, you ain't seen nothing yet. Since being shared, one version of the interview has collected over 8,400 'likes' and 7,000 retweets on Twitter so far.
Mr Oi later lost the quarter finals to Austria's to Albin Ouschan but what he hadn't lost was his sense of humour.
"You? Me? No English. No problem. Every time. Happy!" he says in yet another interview with Mr Wrighton.
The video shows Mr Oi performing the
Pen Pineapple Apple Pen song again. This time, however, he adds a few dance moves and even some pretend-crying to his performance.
"I go home," he says dramatically. Mr Wrighton, holding back his laughter, can only reiterate Mr Oi's thoughts at this time. "Go home," he tells him.
"New role model," says one commenter on Twitter. "Best interview of all time? I think so!" says another.
