Japanese English?

This is a part of a variety show named "Gaki no tsukai", presented by a popular comedy duo DOWNTOWN. This sketch's idea is that they can't laugh no matter what. If they laughed, then they would be hit on their bottoms.

Again, there is no political satire, nor scintillating comment, which you would be amazed with. What you would see here is just silliness almost borderlining meaningless. But anyway, it's funny.

The guy with shaved head is Matsumoto, the member of DOWNTOWN. He has claimed that he is a comedy genius with the sense of humour second to none. Apparently people here agree with that and his TV programs always get high rating. I am not sure whether he is actually "a genius" or not, but I admit that his comedy sense is edgy and that he has come up with bloody funny sketches and dialogues which nobody could think upon. If I have a chance, I will upload those later.



Although people in Japan are quite famous for its difficulty with English, I don't think that our English is as bad as Jimmy's...
