This is my brother's friend Sang Dae on his 27th birthday. Apparently, he likes to get drunk and be silly and make happy toasts. (Who doesn't?)
Even though Sang Dae is ethnically Korean, this is a very Japanese gathering—the motivational speech before the shot, the passive participation of the bartender, and the well-deserved slap in the head at the end.
Translation:
"Ike ike go go" just means "Go go."
"Ikki" means you have to drink it all in one go.
"Kampai" means "Cheers."
"Lalalalai" doesn't mean shit. I don't know why he keeps saying it.
Lalalalai is from a gag from a pretty new comedy duo (something) market.
Sorry I forgot the 1st part of the name!
