I wonder what would have happened if he'd gotten away with the impersonation & finished the exam, but then ended up failing.

Devoted Dad is taking this "I'd do ANYTHING for my son" thing just a bit too far devoted.

I wouldn't want my dad taking exams for me, i'm smarter than him.

The only time dad attempts to impersonate me is when he gets arrested.

They are unclear if the man will lose the license he rightfully obtained for himself.

Should put on his license that he is an impersonator.

Well obviously the son would be sent off to live with his aunt at a hot springs resort turned girls dormitory, where he spent his summers a child, and would rediscover the girl he once made a promise with to enter Tokyo University together so that they could get married and live happily ever after, all the while clumsily stumbling into the girl's bath and inadvertently pulling towels off of the other young women living there.

LOL. Talk about the ultimate in "helicopter parent".

To top that, some hyperinvolved parent is going to have to actually go to college for their kid.

Don't think they wouldn't do it, either!

The only time dad attempts to impersonate me is when he needs another line of credit.

The only time my dad impersonates me is when he's trying to get my online girlfriends to email him naked pics.

No I didn't. I just lumped her in with the "other young women living there" at the end. I didn't feel like typing out all of their archetypes, as the post was sufficiently nerdy enough at that point and I figured those that knew what I was talking about would just fill in the rest on their own.

Yeah, I saw that movie. Or was it a J-Drama. Maybe it was both. Remade several times, several years apart.

I'm probably thinking of a different anime then...is that the one where one of the guys keeps breaking down the door (and walls) of the main guy's bedroom with a log so he can look at the girl in the next room in her scanty, frilly, gossamer-like undies?

...or is that the one where this short little old guy runs around stealing girls' panties and the father turns into a panda and the son turns into a stacked redheaded female when they get hit with cold water...

...or maybe the one where you need special armor that's linked to Zodiac constellations in order to fight evil and you take your orders from this chick who doesn't know she's a goddess...
(now that one is probably at least a little obscure...)

Saint Seiya maybe? It was dubbed under the name Knights of the Zodiac and shown on Cartoon Network about 5 years ago.

The only thing a Japanese man could impersonate of his son's would be the size of his cock.

I impersonated my dad to buy booze when I was younger.

I looked like 30 when I was 16 and my dad looked like 30 when he was 36... luckily the clerks never looked at height (I'm like 5" taller than him)
