ha-ha-ha

Japanese お笑い comedy. I admit, I LIKE it, I LIKE it a lot.
And you would never be at a loss for something to watch on tv, as it is such a お笑いブーム (comedy boom) now, or so they have been saying for the last few years....
Just in the last 2 hours (from 7pm tonight) there have been about 20 comedians on all sorts of shows. They are EVERYWHERE. And, of course, in true japanese style, they come (and go) in intense waves. It seems the newest favourite of the crowds is "Edo", Edo Harumi, the 40-ish year old lady who dances around giving the thumbs-up saying "Guuuuuuuuuuu".
Tonight is a special list - the list of all the Japanese comedians that I don't like, or just don't get:

1) 桜塚やっくん. He dresses up as a toughie J high school girl.Ok, I thought he was interesting at first, but he is still around, (though probably only on エンタの神様 " The God of Entertainment, Sat 10pm). And the same act is wearing VERY thin in my mind.....
2)フランチェ He dresses up like Frankenstein and when the voice over asks him if he can do something, he says "いいよ"
3) umm, aaah, hmmmm. Ok I just realised something. Even though there are a lot of 笑い芸人 that I don't like, it is probably BECAUSE I don't like them that I haven't even paid enough attention to remember their names! Therefore, this list is pretty useless. I think tomorrow I might do a list of the comedians I actually like!
