I hardly ever laugh at comedy and I don't know why. Most comedy shows are just not funny to me. But like I wrote before, I loved seeing the comedic group Down Town's comedy show. Today I found clips of their TV shows online. Three of the clips are part of the series, "Never Laugh In the Classroom". Students must watch the lesson video for studying without laughing - that's the rule. If they laugh, they will get a beating!
Tell me when you can't see these. Sometimes pages have errors, I try to fix it.
English Lesson1 : English Lesson videos is a guy trying to read something about Marco Polo. He didn't even try to make it funny, he just tried to read English very seriously.
English Lesson2 : He counts numbers in English, after 19... it gets funny.
Lunch1 and Lunch 2
Anyways, the guy who tried to read English was a comedian when this TV show originally aired, but now he is a successful artist in Japan. Here is his site (unfortunately it's temporarily closed), here is his art work. Yea, he has some talent!.
Most comedians come from the Osaka area. Osaka people need humour and jokes in their lives, always. Even a cutex is funny! It works as a fortune teller in Osaka and says something funny to you. I wrote about the differences between Osaka and Tokyo before, but I didn't known about this! One brand of instant noodles even has a West version and an East version. If you've tried Donbei in Tokyo before, it's different from the Osaka version.
Unfortunately, Osaka is misunderstood by people sometimes. By I can tell you they are nice.
Wow no so funny at all?
