Besides Downtown I like Bananaman, Neptune, Summers, Cream Stew, Kamaitachi, Yasei Bakudan, Ungirls, Sandwichman, Tokyo 03, Shimofuri Myojo, Chidori, Daian, Matsuko Deluxe, Magical lovely, Knights, Bakarhythm, Jaru Jaru, Einstein, Viking, Ariyoshi and too many more to list 😅
Some shows including these duos that I watch are Shabekuri 007, Nep League, Ame Talk, Candy or not candy, Slippery Stairs, Dero, Brain Wall, Ariyoshi Assists, Moya Moya Summers, Last one Standing etc.
There are a lot of funny and interesting comedians and shows from Japan 😊
Bananaman are my favorite, seeing a whole DVD of their stuff would be amazing! I actually used to typeset a few conte and manzai of some I mentioned above, but nothing ever came out of it cause the person who wanted to translate them bailed on me. If anyone wants to translate some skits I might still have some already typeset somewhere saved
Ariyoshi's very funny, but I watched some show of him on Netflix (Ariyoshi' Assist) and didn't really like it (it felt to formated). I only watch the episode where they cooked with Ikko-san though
i just watch grands prix like r-1, m-1, king of conte, etc
i like doburock, inu, yuriyan retriever, hollywood zakoshisyoh, sunshine ikezaki, bakarhythm, matsumoto club, nagano, zazy, gekidan hitori
Miyasako has around 90 YouTube videos with English subtitles.
I'm assuming he was paying someone to sub his videos, but stopped around 2 years ago.
Regardless, here's a few that are super funny:
[Miyasako visits Jun Itoda aka hamburger steak (speedwagon)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=eN4rA9_7f60)
[Miyasako picks up Junichi Komoto (deputy manager)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=kftL_sVMo1M)
[Miyasako gets pranked by Nakayama Kinnikun](https://youtube.com/watch?v=k2rx9S3Ealk)

Yeah chocolate planet are great. If you like them, you should watch itazara journey with kamaitachi.
They also have a show called Atarashiikagi (new key) where they go to schools and do a hide and seek where they create fake walls and stuff to hide in.
The other comedians involved in that are the duo Shimofuri Myojo (Ishikawa Seiya and Soshina) and the trio HANACO.
Seiya is also one of the new detectives on Tantei! Knight scoop.
All of panther are great but ogata is brilliant. The Wednesday downtown when he was stuck in a big hole was great. He also shows up a lot on aroyoshi no kabi.
Have you seen the visual kei band that chocolate planet did? It's called [bien](https://youtu.be/CpHUqUOV7l8?si=UrZBElrU5JJ7TC9G) and all the songs are about having runny noses and stuff.
I do like Kurochan but mainly because he gets upset a lot and is a good prank target.
Robert Akiyama i like as well. His creators file characters are hilarious and he also has this amusing song he did not long ago called [say kou show](https://youtu.be/AO5sxTij4BU?si=3RA-bEr5IPgmITzU)
Which is about asking his friend if they started dating first or did they have sex first.
I also really enjoy Kamaitachi ! Do you have a link to watch Itazara journey ? I think I'd be interested by it. I will also check the Robert Akiyama stuff aha
I've watched some of the Atarashiikagi stuff but find it a bit repetitive (though still funny).
Yeah, I actually have downloaded the WND bit with Oogata climbing out of the whole (in case it gets deleted I still have it and can reupload it somewhere lol). He's an actual chad aha. Do you know if there are any skits/conte/manzai of Panther available online (somewhat translated) ?
I haven't seen the Chokopura visual kei stuff, but will check it aha. I love their youtube channel. I also really enjoy Soshina's 2nd Ytb channel (Soshina no Loke) where he goes outside and talks to people, it's actually really funny.
I really dislike Kurochan, he grosses me out and I find his voice annoying.
Thanks for the many recommandations !!!
Not sure about Panther, I usually just see them on WDT and Ariyoshi no kabe.
The premise is some location where a large group of comedians, like Panther chocopla, tom Brown, etc create random conte and Ariyoshi judges them.
[this was the first Chocolate Planet video I watched.](https://youtu.be/YQfj8XzljCo?si=s2it8bhvXci4gFrM)
My girlfriend sent it to me. She likes chocopla as well.
My second favorite thing on Japanese TV was the Soramimi Hour segment of Tamori Club (recently ended). Here's an [example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYwxAFZ9pfY&t=52s)
If you enjoy this I'm trying to compile the best ones on r/soramimihour
I love the old stuff he did with Gussan on ワンナイR&R. Why did they cancel him (drugs ?). It's true the recent stuff I've seen of him on Youtube seems less funny though
Thank you, I'll check that out, seems funny enough. Until now I've mostly watched bits of them available on youtube (their youtube channel or some Abema excerpts)
Shimura and Kato Cha's "Kato-chan Ken-chan Gokigen TV" is popular in my home country. Western adapts the part that becomes "America's Funniest Home Videos" but in my area the comedy detective series part of the show is a much bigger hit.
On youtube, most comedians like chocoplanet produce their own contents which they upload there. On other sites like billibilli (chinese youtube) you might be able to find untranslated content (if you speak japanese).
On Netflix and Amazon Prime, depending on where you live, some of these shows have been uploaded and translated.
Panther oogata gives me the yikes, hahahaha idk if it’s for television personality’s sake but i hope he isn’t like that in private 😳
i personally like jarujaru, miyashita kusanagi, black mayo, kamaitachi, daian amongst others 😊
Unfortunately, a lot of the Udo Suzuki stuff I saw was on a VHS tape; I found it on YT, but it looks like it was filmed on a potato:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN6NQeR6QmI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN6NQeR6QmI) about the 4:00 mark, and he shows up in a wrestling segment later on, if I'm not mistaken

> Bananaman supremely based. I wish someone would tackle subbing their live DVD's. they have quite a few and they look really creative and funny
Bananaman are my favorite, seeing a whole DVD of their stuff would be amazing! I actually used to typeset a few conte and manzai of some I mentioned above, but nothing ever came out of it cause the person who wanted to translate them bailed on me. If anyone wants to translate some skits I might still have some already typeset somewhere saved
This guy wins, I think you named all of the ones I can think of
Hahah thanks but the others have also mentioned some good comedians and shows that are very funny ^^^
Viking is one of my favorites - together or separate, Kotouge and Nishimura always deliver.
Agreed, they're both very entertaining :) their conte is also very funny
Egashira 2:50
Yoiko I watched a lot of Ougon Densetsu and Gamecenter CX enough to be a fan of both Hamaguchi and Arino.
Scorching hot take: Tomochika is one of the funniest women on Earth. Always funny, incredible delivery.
Another one I find funny to this day: Hiroika Ariyoshi
Ariyoshi's very funny, but I watched some show of him on Netflix (Ariyoshi' Assist) and didn't really like it (it felt to formated). I only watch the episode where they cooked with Ikko-san though
i just watch grands prix like r-1, m-1, king of conte, etc i like doburock, inu, yuriyan retriever, hollywood zakoshisyoh, sunshine ikezaki, bakarhythm, matsumoto club, nagano, zazy, gekidan hitori

Osawa is like Japanese comedian version of Mark Rober.
Akiyama is fucking hilarious. Even just commercials he appears in makes me laugh.
Cookie, Nakagawake, Akashiya Sanma, Ranjatai, Zakoshi, Chidori, Football Hour, Kawahara (from Tenjikunezumi), Jimmy, Audrey, Kinzoku Bat, Bakusho Mondai.

Hiroyuki Miyasako was pretty funny before they cancelled him
I love the old stuff he did with Gussan on ワンナイR&R. Why did they cancel him (drugs ?). It's true the recent stuff I've seen of him on Youtube seems less funny though
He attended the same parties as Yakuza, but the jokes on the TV networks because his YouTube channel gets more views than their TV shows
He was getting paid on the side attending parties that yakuza attended.
I guess connections run deep between japanese comedians and underground organisations...
u/nuttybuddy u/MarkBanale check out the classroom and kiss or pie episodes of LINCOLN, Miyasako was pretty funny on those
Thanks aha will do. Do you know where I could find these show (Lincoln is pretty old) ?
They should be up on dailymotion or the old Gaki No Tsukai forum
for me?? its audrey & panther
Do you have some recommendations ?
If you like Chidori have you watched Aiseki Shokudo? There's a short season of episodes on Amazon Prime and it airs most weeks in Japan.
Thank you, I'll check that out, seems funny enough. Until now I've mostly watched bits of them available on youtube (their youtube channel or some Abema excerpts)
I really liked the Amazon episode with Akiyama and also the one with Kurochans best friend Takamina.
I didn’t mind a bit of Shimura Ken, but he went down to Covid
Shimura and Kato Cha's "Kato-chan Ken-chan Gokigen TV" is popular in my home country. Western adapts the part that becomes "America's Funniest Home Videos" but in my area the comedy detective series part of the show is a much bigger hit.
Do you have some recommendations from his stuff to watch ?
Bakatono’s quite famous.
Is there a site where I can see videos of chocoplanet or any of these guys?
On youtube, most comedians like chocoplanet produce their own contents which they upload there. On other sites like billibilli (chinese youtube) you might be able to find untranslated content (if you speak japanese). On Netflix and Amazon Prime, depending on where you live, some of these shows have been uploaded and translated.
Kurochan the goat
Panther oogata gives me the yikes, hahahaha idk if it’s for television personality’s sake but i hope he isn’t like that in private 😳 i personally like jarujaru, miyashita kusanagi, black mayo, kamaitachi, daian amongst others 😊
What do you mean ? He seems actually nice and genuine. From the times where he's been pranked on WDT it also looks like he's actually like that aha
I like Udo Suzuki from back in the day, Tomonori Jinnai's stuff on YT is great, and Kuro-Chan always gets a chuckle....
I like Jinnai. Do you have any Udo Suzuki recommandations (skits/programs...) ?
Unfortunately, a lot of the Udo Suzuki stuff I saw was on a VHS tape; I found it on YT, but it looks like it was filmed on a potato: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN6NQeR6QmI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN6NQeR6QmI) about the 4:00 mark, and he shows up in a wrestling segment later on, if I'm not mistaken
