Why aren't the Japanese funny?
why did nichijou flop again?
Isn't a lot of their comedy word play?
>image.jpg
/a/ hasn't acknowledged this obvious filename-avatarfagging baiter yet?
>>134613841
Japanese humor seems to rely on puns and overreaction
Also they can't comprehend irony
>>134613677
Because it wasn't good.
>>134613883
Filename automatically becomes image.jpg if you post from a phone.
Better yet, why do some people here find that shit funny? It's cringe.
>>134613986
From an iPhone. At least /qa/ despises image.jpgposting because of it.
Their humor is several decades behind the west's
It's not that they are unfunny. It's just that they suffer from autism and find something unfunny to most normal people to be funny. Gintama isnt extremely popular over there for no reason.
>>134613677
It didn't flop for nips, but what's worse is when people who aren't nips try to say it's funny. It's fucking cringey and yet they try so hard to fit in.
>>134614401
>it's impossible to find it funny if you're not Japanese
Are you serious?
>nichijou bored me to tears
>nichibros was the last anime i truly enjoyed and was disappointed when it ended
>>134613656
Because they aren't British
>>134614422
Davido detected.
LOL
>>134614518
This has nothing to do with being a weeb though just the retarded assumption that people can't find foreign humor entertaining. You could argue that it's impossible to get the full effect I agree but to say it's impossible to find it humorous in any capacity is retarded.
>>134614629
You literally put the term "impossible" in my mouth. It's obviously not funny, but I didn't say it is impossible to find it funny. I just said it's extremely hard to find it even somewhat funny unless you actually a nip.
>>134614862
>It's obviously not funny
It's obviously subjective, you're claiming that anyone who thinks it's funny is just pretending to fit in is tantamount to saying it is impossible.
> I just said it's extremely hard to find it even somewhat funny unless you actually a nip.
If that was what you wanted to say you should have just said it instead of making ridiculous claims.
Because all of their humor consists of the same fucking unfunny formula.
Character 1: Obscure Japanese pun, retarded statement, or perverted remark
Character 2: Grossly over-the-top reaction complete with physical slapstick attack
WWWWWWWWW
>>134615109
Stop putting words into my mouth and assuming things. Who finds nip humor funny? Who finds nichijou funny? Only nips and weebs who try extra hard to fit in. You know this is true, so I don't even know why you're trying to argue.
>>134613656
Because you're most likely a white American teenager watching comedy targeted towards Japanese people, not white Americans.
This is the same reason why Europeans don't think Americans are funny, or why Americans don't understand British humour.
>>134614460
Basically me.
>>134615178
I'm not putting words in your mouth, you're literally saying no one can like Japanese comedy but Japs and then saying anyone who potentially does must be pretending because it goes against your retarded belief.
Even if I could shoe you examples of people that like Nichijou or Jap comedy you'd just shoot them down with your incorrect "only pretending" argument
>>134614460
>>134615224
Nichibros proved to me that no matter what the language or culture, male friendships are the same everywhere. I could identify with so much of that anime.
>>134615197
I don't think yuros don't enjoy Simpsons or South Park?
I personally find the ecchi/romcom genre to be the funniest due to the over-the-top situations the characters get into. Other than that, most comedy or SOL anime I find boring :/
because japanese live the majority of their days from overworked student to overworked adult in largely the same way, meaning any source of minor amusement or unexpected behavior (overblown reactions) is termed as funny
>>134615421

>>134613656
There are cultural differences.
>>134614161
We should follow their example, anyone not browsing from an actual computer is 99% sure to be a crossboarding normie
What about Cromartie?
>>134613656
南米人として、私たちの文化圏の外の人が誰も面白くない、実は。
>>134613887
The Japs aren't allowed to lampoon or to go for irony. Their laws killed the political satire and this is why they can't unto irony without being dead serious about it.
I mean that. Japs can't really lampoon politicians casually without being hit with lawsuit ahoy. They tread carefully with this.
>>134613656
I thought nichijou is some kind of abstract art kind of shit.
>>134615261
Nah, because the only examples you have are davido-kuns. It's not retarded, it's simply fact. It's a surefire way to catch a mentally ill faggot.
>>134615848
Rewording your argument doesn't make it any more legitimate.
>No one can like Nichijou except for Japs and weebs
>If you like Nichijou you're a weeb
I genuinely laugh at osomatsu.
>>134615927
Assumptions and filling my mouth with things I didn't say doesn't make you look any smart.
>>134615197
Yeah, it must be pretty hard to see why Seinfeld is funny when you have fleshlights for eyes.
>>134616066
>any smart
But no that's literally your entire argument, you have given no other reasons and until you do your just making a fool of yourself with this circular logic.
>>134616182
You're dumb. This went from nip humor to liking a show or not. If that isn't assumptions and filling my mouth with whatever shit you pull outta your ass, I don't know what is. You can go ahead and continue this in order to look "smart".
>>134616383
It's essentially the same argument, you're simply arguing semantics now because I've pointed out your idiotic reasoning.
>>134616383
not that anon, but his point is pretty straight forward.
you made a claim that you can't prove.
>>134616448
>essentially
Just quote my post instead of doing such a roundabout thing.
>>134616449
You want proof that nichijou flopped outside Japan? Because that's a search away. The reasons why it flopped are very evident.
>>134613677
>>134616528
Not the anons you replied to
>you want proof that nichijou flopped outside Japan
It flopped in Japan too though
>>134616569
Oh really? My apologies.
>>134616528
Why don't you come up with a logical argument or refute mine ? Maybe you can't? Either way if you just want the last reply it's all yours bud
>>134616558
i just thought Mai was different because she was raised in a different culture.
>>134616528
>flopped outside of Japan
but you can't really prove that either, sure sales were probably low. but a lot of people like me haven't purchased a single anime in their life.
I mean it's rated #91 of all time on MAL and there are thousands of seeds for the torrents, a lot of people liked it.
I thought Sabagebu was bretty funny desu
Nichibros too
>>134616558
>forced animation
stopped glancing there
Haha, oh Nichijou!
Remember the scene where they were trying to break the pumpkin and they tried everything and then Yuko said "this pumpkin is so hard!" That was so random. I guess some people just find this show too weird but I'm pretty weird myself so I like it.
>>134616789
Eeeeeeeeeh
It's so rare for a nip pun to translate well but that "bros before holes" line in EVOL worked so well
>>134616653
I dont think they are like that in America though anon.
>>134615197
More like the general population around the globe has no real sense of humor and laughs at what they show on their local TV without thinking too hard about why because it's socially acceptable.
People who try to argue seriously about culture having worse comedy are even lower as human beings.
>>134617215
Also the explanation.
>>134616789
Remember the scene where that guy passed out while running and his team was disqualified from a race? Hilarious!
That's so Nichijou.
>>134616724
>purchased a single anime
You are what's wrong with the industry
>>134616636
Nichijou wasn't good. It's humor was bad even for nips and it translated horribly save for a few that liked it regardless. Sales were low, and it flopped. Even other anons posted some reasons why, the humor being one of them.
There's the evidence for my argument. I don't need to even refute yours because you are wrong.
Last reply, so if you wanna keep this going, be my guest.
>>134617310
You call it an explanation but it raises more questions than it answers. Classic Nichijou.
Inmu is funny, along with tons of other shit. I think they're pretty funny
>>134617554
Wow this post is hysterically bad.
>Nichijou wasn't good.
This is an opinion
>It's humor was bad even for nips
Opinion
> and it translated horribly save for a few that liked it regardless.
True but not everyone who liked ot is a "weeaboo"
>Sales were low, and it flopped. Even other anons posted some reasons why, the humor being one of them.
Completely irrelevant just because most people don't like something doesn't invalidate people who liked it as "just pretending"
>There's the evidence for my argument.
You've proven nothing other than that it isnt popular, the rest of yoir argument remains false
>don't need to even refute yours because you are wrong.
I'm wrong because I'm wrong?
>>134617554
>You are what's wrong with the industry
Nah, and if you contribute to shitty anime, then YOU are what's wrong with the industry
>>134613656
Is it okay to like Nichijou for the comfy atmosphere and cute characters instead of the comedy?
>>134618476
Sure
>>134613656
Eh Nandatte?!
>>134615321
>I don't think yuros don't enjoy Simpsons or South Park?
Those are pretty much the exceptions, and mostly because they're good in other ways as well as comedy.
I'll take British humour over American humour any day of the week. American stand-up in particular is just fucking awful.

Why didn't I think of making one of these.
>>134613656
they are, they just don't make Seth MacFarlane/modern-National Lampoon style comedies that teenagers and retarded normalfag 20-30 somethings like so much.
They also can't into political satire.

>brushes off my whole post for being bad

After I present evidence you still brush my post off, and judging from the quality of that post it's clear you just want to have the last reply. Go ahead.
>>134621025
I've completely debunked your "evidence", your claim that English people who like it are only pretending to fit in is completely unfounded and ridiculous.
>>134616558

I have never seen this phrase used anywhere but Nichijou threads.

Because funny is the opposite of serious, and Not being serious means you aren't working hard.
I unironically find going home club to be funny as hell
>>134613656
I don't know about you but I found Cromartie Highschool fucking hilarious
If Trigger poured as much money as KyoAni into a series, and priced it the same, it would fly off the shelves.
These are facts
Shoujo tends to be funnier than Shounen
