Japanese comedy is 70-80 years behind
I can't wait for Japan's "WHERES THE BEEF" phase.
I mean most of their comedy is “Manzai”, which is essentially Abbott & Costello.
Japanese culture is still very much Confucian, so any sort of making light of authority figures or anyone deemed “above” oneself in the caste-like hierarchy is not done, not even ironically.
Idk man some of these are hilarious. https://www.boredpanda.com/mundane-halloween-hilarious-costumes-japan-taiwan/
Costumes are “comedy”?
They can be, look at the examples, I think it counts.
You might be a little too deep into Japanese culture clouding your common sense, friendo
Takeshis castle is still unmatched
Except by mXc itself, which of course uses dubbed footage from TC, with funny idiot announcers dubbed in.
Yeah that’s my point. That is literally the comedic level of prat falls and people slipping on banana peels.
