On the 22nd, TV talent Kuniko Yamada (64) appeared live as a monthly assistant on Tokyo MX’s “Barairo Dandy” (Monday to Friday 9pm). She mentioned the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo’s Soshina (31), who served as the general MC on Fuji TV’s “FNS 27-Hour TV Japan’s Most Fun School Festival!”. “27 Hours” was truly a “Soshina Theater.” At the beginning, in front of Fuji TV President Koichi Minato, she started off by saying, “I’m sorry about Otani’s house, so I’ll say it,” and got into full gear. On “Sanma’s Comedy Improvement Committee,” she called Akashiya Sanma by his first name, and called Nishikawa Norio and Kamon Tatsuo “all old nuisances.” On “Soshina Quiz,” she asked the question “Matsumoto Hitoshi, what are you doing?” in the Ogiri (a Japanese comedy show). Yamada gently criticized the “Soshina Theater” with a smile, saying, “It’s not good to call your seniors by their first names, is it?” He added, “Old people being a nuisance is also no good. You should not tell the truth. Approach everything with a loving heart.”
I’ve never thought Soshina’s material was funny, but when he won M1 and R1, I realized, “Oh, Yoshimoto wants to brand him with that kind of body.” It’s Yoshimoto’s usual pattern, making people think they’re popular before they know it and branding them.
>>8 By creating the fait accompli of being popular despite being unfunny and ugly, comedians are given the illusion that they have dreams, and the strategy is to make them feel special and get them to go to the theater or apply to NSC.
>>8 I don’t really care if people don’t think it’s funny because it’s a matter of personal preference, but why do people who make these kinds of declarations want to completely rule out the possibility that “maybe they’re out of step with the rest?” I don’t really like naked acts or dirty jokes, so I don’t understand why Zakoshisho, Akira 100, or Doburoku won but I guess they won because everyone out there says they’re funny and I’m not kind enough to think too deeply about things like pushiness or branding
Considering the origins of the word “old nuisance,” it would be more natural for it to mean “harmful effects caused by aging.” It seems that that was the word originally used. Even if “old nuisance” is used to refer to individual elderly people who have become harmful due to aging or the growth of their influence, it inevitably carries the nuance of saying “all elderly people are like that.” Therefore, I would recommend replacing it with “harmful elderly people.”
>>18 They’re trying to cause a stir. The stations that use them are at fault. So it’s just an internal joke, and it’s a negative loop of worsening business performance.
The image that ordinary people have of “old people who are a nuisance” is not that of a senior who is in a high position and won’t give up his seat, but rather that of someone who is arrogant and constantly denies others. In other words, that’s what Soshina is talking about.
I was disappointed in Soshina for being so considerate and saying such kind words to the losing team in the Harmony Project corner. What was the point of all that cockiness up until now?
It’s not funny, so the only way to stand out is to cause a commotion. And yet the dark side of that country is still there, so it’s troublesome. They’re just constantly criticizing people for personal grudges.
Like Dokumamushi Santaro calling people “old man” and “old hag” and Ayanokoji Kimimaro’s talk like “I wanted to meet you 50 years ago” I want this person to learn more of those skills.
