What in the world is with this za warudo thing?
I watched all the flash movies and didn't find anything amusing...i didn't even hear "za warudo"
Do I need to be able to understand Japanese to find this funny?

Um... "Za Warudo" is like japanese phoenetics for "the world". In japanese they have two alphabet type systems.

The first is hirigana which is used in combination with kanji (chinese script characters). All phrases and words native to the japanese language utilize this system.

The second is katakana which expresses words used in japanese that have been borrowed from foreign languages. However they are still limited by the pronounciation vowels of the japanese language, therefore adopted words only sound partially similar to the actual word borrowed.

For example, "Orange" is written as "Orenji" and pronounced O (as in of) + ren (ren and stimpy) + Gee (As in G-Shock).

That explains why "The World" is written by Asplode as "Za Warudo"
I'v filled half the void by explaining what the word in his picture means. But i still dont understand the significance of it and I'm japanese, so maybe its not culturally related :P

Sorry for being long winded. My two cents

Baseball = Base baru or something close to that. I took a Japanese class and that's the thing that stuck with me best.
