外国人のお笑いブログ

Some dude named Kazuhiro e-mailed me, wanting to be language partners. He's like 31, whatever. His reason was, "To be honest, I don't know anything about America but you like Japanese comedy so I'm interested." Um, lulz.

He asked me who my favorite geinin we're, so I emailed him back and mentioned Hannya but I didn't mention all the kickass other younger(ish) groups I like!

Also, its really hard to determine who's a senpai in owarai because there are so many freaking groups!

I know for a fact Dachou Club & Neptune are so that's why I mentioned they were my fave senpai conbi...

But what about all the in-betweens?

See, Hannya has been out since 2005. For owarai, that's still young! FuruPon and...Shizuru are still fairly young.

Jaru Jaru have been out surprisingly long! Lotti as well! Wagaya - they are actually youngish despite them all being the same age of 37. I looked up InJohn (Instant Johnson) too & they've been debuted since 1997! Shiiiiiiit.

Yanagihara Kanako is like, 2 years older than me but I don't know how long she's been active. I've seen her a shit load on shows. Sometimes that the benefit of being a solo geinin - it seems like if you have a certain look and appeal, you'll get a lot of work and never really fall out of obscurity.

Then there's always the downside & the opposite will happen. Like for Sekai no Nabeatsu! /sigh You hardly ever hear him doing things anymore. I loved him too! He was my 最近ハマっているもの of last year. LOL

I want Hannya to do new gags! Throwing that out there.

I think it's because I've been watching owarai...pretty much daily. Almost more than Arashi, yikes! and so after seen FuruPon's, "Annoying Guy" gag or Shizuru's "Seishun" gag like 2354696234565 times its like, "It's still funny but...what else you got?"

Thank God for Red Theater - new shit every Wednesday. *_*

I didn't realize how much of an influential figure Uchimura Teriyoshi was until I researched him today! Guy's a big deal! He really his funny though so no surprise but I just didn't realize how much of one he was.

I bought three postcards to write & send to some Yoshimoto geinin~ :) I already sent Hannya a letter so these are for JaruJaru, Shizuru, and Fruit Punch.

Everyone else I like on RT aren't with Yoshimoto. So...they'll wait. Nyahaha.
