Except when they do.

Nothing, except in Japanese humour you don't explain the joke.

I don't get it.

American humor isn't as funny :3

They just are.

Japanese humor is much more trivial or flat. I'm not sure what is american humor though but to see subtle joke in jap media is very rare.

Japanese = shit happens and stupid reactions to it. Tsukommi type stuff.

western humor = penis OH DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
japanese humor = ???someone fill this shit in???

>>3821563
I don't see how the humor from other countries is any different.

>>3821506
japanese humor is much more perverted slapstick and also there is much more poop jokes. american humor is afraid of being racist and it's mainly jokes

Humor is universal

/thread

Japanese seems to use lots of puns.

>>3821506
Japanese humour is much more entertaining than American humour.

Traditionally, humor, as in jokes, is executed differently.

In american humor, there is a setup and punchline. In Japanese humor, there is an extra step- the climax of the joke occurs in a step after the punchline, where the ignorance or arbitration of the punchline is referenced.

Puns are considered the highest form of humor in Japan.

There is a boke and the tsukkomi, and I don't know if I've ever seen boke in regular american humour before.

Also, puns. lots of it. If you fail at it, it sounds like an オヤジギャク。

In that case, their humour is punnier than ours.

This guy knows what's up.

We both find niggers to be funny.

I DON'T KNOW, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JAPANESE AND AMERICAN HUMOUR?

>>3821814
Was that an attempt at American humor?

Didn't the Japanese like the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers?

japan: slapstick > *
american: edgy dirty jokes > *

There's no american humo"u"r.

Western humor is actually funny.

Japanese television = Repeat the punchline at the bottom of the screen.
American television = Canned laughter.

Both assume the audience is too stupid to know when to laugh and has to be told through prompting. Take your pick.

Here's the same joke, as it would be performed in both countries.

America:
Bob: Have you seen where my pen is?
Bill: Dude, I don't want to see your penis!

Japan:
Bobu: Have you seen where my pen is?
Birru: Dude, I don't want to see your penis!
Bobu: No you idiot! /smack

The big difference is where the punchline is perceived to be. In America, Bob the straight man just sets up Bob the fool. Bill's pun is the punchline. In Japan, Bobu the tsukkomi still sets up Birru the bokke's pun, but the actual punchline is Bobu's reaction - typically consisting of namecalling, exaggerated facial expressions, and some abusive slapstick.

The manzai approach is much more akin to classic Vaudeville-era routines, rather than modern stand-up. Take the Three Stooges for example: the punchline of a typical joke is not Curly doing something stupid, it is Moe punishing him for it. Contrast this with a typical Jeff Dunham routine. The punchline is delivered by the foolish puppet, and Jeff's reaction is really just a segue into the next joke.

Isn't the whole Boke/Tsukkomi thing basically the same as the old American Comedy Duos (Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis, etc. etc.?)

So basically you're saying Japan's sense of humor is 70 years behind America's.

>>3822100
That's not the only thing they're behind on.

Even though America is 50 years behind most European countries as it is.

>>america 70 years ahead
>>70 years ahead

Dohohohoho

I like British humour better than either.
