I don’t know why, but there is something inherent in the Japanese culture that makes them the funniest people on the planet. All I had to do was Google the phrase “Japanese Comedy” and the first thing I saw was hilarious: Elevating Loo . This is a culture worth admiring.
Remember the show Banzai? It’s not even Japanese, it’s British. But it was meant to look Japanese and that makes it all the more funny: “Interesting Penalty Shootout Conundrum! – One-legged kicker versus one-armed goalie. Who will win?!?!? Bet now.”
Awesome.
A couple months ago I spent 8 consecutive hours in a hotel room watching some show where contestants dressed up in costumes and attempted an obstacle course. Not very funny right? Wrong. Imagine some announcer yelling the play by play: “She goes for the rope-swing! Can she do it? Her daughter is watching! Oh noooo! She falls in! She brings shame and disgrace to her family!”
As a result of writing this, I think I have figured out why the Japanese are so damn funny. It’s the exclamation points!
