Tokyo Breakfast is a 2000 independent live action comedy short film (5:50 min. running time) by Propaganda Films and created by former MTV producers Mike Maguire and creative Tom Kuntz.
The spoof sitcom was a commentary on a fad where a family in Japan were adopting the hip hop lifestyle as depicted in music videos. The film is a parody of the Japanese perception of day-to-day doings of an American family, with an emphasis on the emulation of a perceived black culture. Characters use the term "nigga" with unusual regularity and familiarity.
The actors speak in heavily accented English, peppered with American English idioms, and salaryman-style business English.
The film appeared in the 2001 Ohio Film Festival and also spread as an Internet phenomenon. Incidentally, the news program the family is watching in the kitchen, "News 23", is actually aired in the evening in Japan on the Tokyo Broadcasting System - not in the morning, as the episode suggests.

A prook is a book, typically a biography or autobiography, that is read because of what it reveals about a person or persons who are or were closely associated with the principal subject. Examples are Lord Moran's wartime diaries, when he was Churchill's doctor; singer Marianne Faithfull's Faithfull (1994), which described, among other things, her relationship with Mick Jagger and contacts with other members of the Rolling Stones; Wonderful Today (2007) by ex-model Patti Boyd, who was married in turn to George Harrison of the Beatles and guitarist Eric Clapton; and film director Roger Vadim's 1986 memoir, Bardot, Deneuve & Fonda (three ex-wives and actresses who were so famous that their surnames alone were sufficient for identification).
Origin
"Prook" originated in bohemian and Bloomsbury circles in the years between the First and Second World Wars. It is thought to be a portmanteau word made up of "proxy" and "book". In the 1960s the word resurfaced as polari, the camp slang. As such, it was sometimes rendered as "proxy-ook".
