their as witty as Sup Forums at least.

I hate tsukkomis in my western comics even when the author does it

Boke and tsukkomi routines are dumb.

>tsukkomis
???

Japanese comedy. One acts dumb, the other punishes the other for dumb remarks and such.

those little boxes with comments readers that mangahere uses, OP's pic is an example.

And its super fucking lame.

Go make this on Sup Forums see if they get mad. It'd be fun if everyone "raided" a manga and just shitposted non stop. Supposedly to many of those and it slows down the site, that'd be pretty hilarious to see.

Context?
What'd that character do, cuck the audience-surrogate?

Oh.
I've never really liked Japanese comedy. There never seems to be any subtlety to it. Usually it's just something wacky happening and then they point it out like that's the joke. I've heard a few explanations about how it's a cultural thing but either way it just doesn't work for me.

I prefer comics with as little dialog as necessary. If you're working with a visual medium then why tell the audience what's happening when you could just show it to them? I thought that was the whole point of having the pictures along with the text.

>taking the worst possible type of "content" and smearing it all over the thing you actually want to see instead of shoving it down to the bottom of the page where it can be easily ignored

It's not unique to Japan though. It seems very similar to the Western "double act" with a funny man and straight man, like Abbot and Costello. But the double act doesn't seem to be really around in the West anymore.

Who's On First is actually witty in its wordplay though.

Boke and tsukkomi is Skinner fucking up the Who's routine and then Chalmers repeating the fuck up in an over-exaggerated manner.

That has always been a thing is western media

So every gamer webcomic in existence?

>japanese comedy

The only times I've seen japanese media be actually funny is when it is the least Japanese possible

No because if it's a good joke it doesn't need somebody explaining it's a joke.

Alright I'm calling you out right there!

Yeah word puns and the stupid fly into the sky shit need to be obliterated once and for all; but there's nothing keeping them from doing legitimately funny gags and they often do.

I hope P&S isn't your example because the comedy there was shit
>"what is this? it's a penis?"but does even look remotely like a penis
>most forced jokes in this side of the fucking universe
>literally written with the mentality of what an 11 year old considers comedy
What a shit. Better watch nichibros.

I've never really watched manzai but I've gotten the impression it's not funny.

Anime uses the general manzai concept a lot. It can be funny or not funny.

Yeah, that's when they do comedy.
Universally funny comedy, not japanese comedy

I miss double play acts. last one I can think of is bulk and skull.

Fuck off Sup Forums

Did you even open the gif?

Also
>Nichibros
Almost as unfunny as fucking Nichijou

...

for a guy posting weeb pics, you don't seem to have good taste in anime
unrelated to this SAO pic, just posted for the reaction face

You heard me, brah

Anime by definition cannot be weeaboo, and you don't seem to understand what a reaction image is.

I just think the kind of humour used in many SoL comedies is used so frequently it becomes repeptitive. I laughed at the kind of jokes Nichibros did when I started watching anime but I've seen that kind of comedy plenty now and it fails to make me laugh anymore.
Nichijou is still unfunny shit by any metric though
I can do this all day, m8

Generally tsukkomis can be toggled on and off.

This is how to perform a tsukkomi correctly, in case anyone was wondering:

That was stupid.

Why the heck?
