    popular comedians

    These two words should not be used together in Japan because rarely are entertainers both.

    money...they love it, theyd sell their granny if it could make them some yen. Theyd front an advertising campaign for torture if they thought they could make some cash

    I read somewhere that these chaps are really pushing back the frontiers of comedy. Some of them shout, while others gently slap each other on the back of the head while a sound effect of a very loud slap sound goes off.

    I understand that if we're really lucky, we can get to watch some of them eat food soon.

    I for one can't wait. I wonder if the food will be either oishii or umai?

    Wottock always sums up Japanese TV to a 't'.

    PuffinMuffin at 11:32 AM JST - 31st January aren't they char-min-guuu? seriously mobile handsets are overrated. just when I think I've found one that I like, they come up with a better one. And Softbank makes you pay for 2 years or so for something that'll be obsolete soon too!

    What makes them obsolete? Are you no longer able to make and receive calls? I thought that's what telephone were for? The rest is just nonsense.
