When I see a scene like this, I might laugh but at the same time, I might get a little aroused.

It’s about individual capability, not the region.

I think it must be a nice place for people who can laugh at this.
If you’re the type of person who says “Just do it quickly…”, then…

I can’t do anything about it, so hurry up… I guess you’ll turn a portion of that into laughter to calm the situation down.

It might be funny during my time off, but it could be irritating during the limited lunch break…

I don’t have the courage to do this in Tokyo…
The land of Tokyo forcibly makes you slide.

If something like this starts in Tokyo, I would be confused.

People from Osaka tend to compare themselves to Tokyo, but a proper comparison is between Osaka and the rest.

The punchline is so Osaka, isn’t it?

Instead, there are also those who awkwardly force jokes to fit the situation, even though they’re not funny.

Aren’t you tired?

BBS and X seem to have more of an Osaka mentality than a Tokyo one.

In a way, it is built on a foundation of trust that everyone around has a humorous disposition.

You say it’s just Osaka, but places like Takarazuka and Kobe in Hyogo are like this too.

It might indeed feel Osaka-like to advance the thread by returning a standard response to a standard.

Interesting woman.

The right side of the escalator is also a culture from around Osaka to Kobe, right?

Do everyone in Osaka do this?

There are many people who try to make you laugh in a visceral way, but you don’t see such a blatant and exaggerated setup like this.

This kind of thing works because it’s a manga.
“It’s precarious even with acquaintances when it involves a ‘gag that relies on the responder’s reaction.'”
If it happens with a complete stranger, in reality, it would just end with “Huh?”

Sometimes, when you’re struggling or in a difficult situation, making a silly joke to lighten the mood is helpful.
The aunt at the register sometimes comes by too.

While watching Night Scoop, I was surprised to see funny amateurs casually making jokes.

I went to Tsutenkaku the other day, but I felt a compulsive notion that I always had to make people laugh.

In reality, there are no glittering effects, and ordinary people don’t have the acting skills to convey the joke to everyone… It just makes you think, “What are you mumbling about?”
Believing that the people around you will react 100% to your little act is a mindset close to being a liar.

I guess these guys each have a takoyaki maker at home too…

Are people who were born and raised in Tokyo living a life without using escalators?

If the other party seems unresponsive, then I won’t do it.

It’s not about whether it’s interesting or not; there are some points where I’d be willing to forgive after being treated like this.

So, what’s the punchline? It’s scary because they come at me with that straight up.

The images in the thread are definitely a bit exaggerated, but…
For example, even when chatting with close friends, if there isn’t a clear point or punchline (humorous moment), there is definitely an atmosphere that makes it feel awkward.

The saying that people from Osaka are interesting is
There is a local culture where even amateurs try to engage in the traditional forms of comedy.
Osaka people who go outside of Osaka naturally can’t do anything if they’re not professionals.
If anything, even a professional would go home unable to do it.

Maybe I only have the impression from shows like Kenmin Show.
It’s unavoidable because it’s far away.
I live in the northern part of Osaka, but generally, even though Namba is often featured in the Kanto region, Umeda is not focused on at all.

It’s built on the trust that everyone around is from Osaka.

Interactions on anonymous bulletin boards and anonymous communities tend to revolve around a narrative structure with peaks and falls, and meanings, so in that sense it might be considered Kansai-like.
Using that to say “Osaka is like a bulletin board or something like X” is a bit of a stretch, though.

In normal conversations, I don’t care whether there’s a punchline or not…
It would be more interesting and popular if it existed.

Even with comedians,
I can do the usual team play surrounded by Yoshimoto in the studio.
It’s not uncommon to see someone who can’t do anything when they appear as a guest somewhere.

It’s already impossible to change the fact that the culture is different between the East and the West, so let’s stop criticizing each other’s unfamiliar cultures.

Comedians are a type of content with a fixed script, storyline, and direction meant for television, and they are not necessarily the same as being from Kansai…
It is unrealistic to try to measure the trends of local communities through the media of television.

No one was even talking about the TV in the first place.

The introverts in Osaka seem to have a tough time.

If you don’t keep up with the Osaka-style vibes, there are people who will say things like “You’re so lame!”

It’s amazing that the perception of Osaka being synonymous with Yoshimoto is so readily accepted.
Kyoto people all speak in a dialect and make sarcastic remarks, right? It feels like the same level of fantasy.

Do something funny for me> If you don’t keep up with the Osaka-style jokes, there are people who will say things like, “You’re lame!”
You’re no fun!

I know it’s a dull thing to say, but even if the image is funny, it’s just not interesting and leaves me at a loss for a reaction.

People from Kyushu are all strong drinkers, huh?

If I had some spare time, I would probably laugh too.
On a weekday morning, it would be annoying, but probably an Osaka auntie has a good ability to read the atmosphere.

It’s not entirely wrong to evaluate the community of Osaka as interesting, but…
Osaka people say it’s interesting, so it creates a misunderstanding.

Even if there’s no punchline, I’ll create one here, so please feel free to talk about what you love.

The only ones who ask “What’s the punchline?” are the ones who have long conversations on the phone like a lady.

I am from Tokyo and have lived in Osaka for 10 years, but other than the fact that there is a lot more average conversation, there isn’t much of a difference in people; the food culture is completely different, though.
The biggest surprise was when someone from Shikoku spoke with a strong dialect similar to Kansai dialect.

That said, the people of Chibaragi don’t speak like Edokko, do they…

The image of a place I have never lived in can only be based on 100% biased perceptions from TV or the internet, and I think that’s perfectly fine.
I should avoid getting too hooked on content like regional bashing that I often see on bulletin boards.

Shikoku is relatively close to the Kansai dialect.

Well, if it comes to this, I guess I’ll forgive you…

I’ve always been in Osaka, but what’s the punchline? I’ve never said that nor have I been told that.

The punchline isn’t about seeking something neat like in a comedy act; it’s about the fact that to conclude a topic, you need a certain level of resolution.
Wouldn’t you be genuinely perplexed if that conversation just vanished after hovering endlessly on the spot?

You can often see funky people like this even in the city.

Hokuriku, particularly Fukui and Ishikawa, was quite similar to the Kansai dialect.
Interestingly, Toyama and Niigata are completely different from each other.
I don’t understand what the boundaries are.

Tokushima was mostly in the Kansai dialect.
It feels similar in the back too.

I lived in Osaka for a while, but I didn’t have any funny episodes like this at all.
It might have been because it was around Osaka Station, but it doesn’t seem any different from Tokyo.

It honestly feels no different from a trip, as if I lived there for a while on assignment.
Unless you actively engage with the local community, you won’t come across events that have regional characteristics.

Not understanding cultural differences is just being insensitive or not really connecting with people.
Even within Osaka, there are significant differences between Umeda, Namba, and Senshu, and the atmosphere varies quite a bit between Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto as well.

Restraining the other person in a way that avoids conflict is not a culture limited to Kyoto, or even to Japan.

People from Kansai tend to exaggerate their image even more if they feel they are being asked for the “Kansai person stereotype.”

I have some long-time acquaintances from Osaka, but the otaku element is stronger than the Osaka element, and I encounter more Kansai people than I expected.

It’s not that it’s boring, but even if it looks like a cringeworthy joke, there are situations where the flow of the performance is complete when it elicits a suppressed laugh.
This can only be described as the atmosphere of the scene.

It’s fine because it can all settle down by having the people around me make it a funny moment.

It means you want to hear the conclusion of the story soon, right?

Is it possible that the first post on the bulletin board is usually written by someone from Osaka?

Laughter is about how it can create an atmosphere, right?
Having “funny people” around makes things a lot more enjoyable.

Anyone who claims to be in charge of the tsukkomi is usually a visible landmine.
I’m straightforward, so I’ll just become someone who doesn’t change.

Just by putting on a smile, even if it’s only for show, it can relieve some of the frustration.

Residents along the Hankyu line have a mysterious image of being refined, but I don’t know where that comes from.

I’ve heard that even people from Osaka find the dialect from Kishiwada scary, but I can’t tell the difference.

It feels good when they collect it beautifully after piling on the nonsense…

It is abnormal that Tokyo, where people from rural areas gather, is suppressing culture.
Due to the overwhelming number of people, I prioritize not getting involved with others at all.
Even when people scream on a crowded train, nobody says anything or does anything; it’s quite a sight.

It’s just that professionals have named things like “boke” and “tsukkomi” in conversation, so you don’t really need to worry about it.

I was raised speaking Kansai dialect, but when I moved to Osaka and met someone who actually used “you” when referring to themselves for the first time, I was taken aback and felt a bit moved, thinking “They really say that…!”

Isn’t our relationship like that of no name?

I was a bit moved when I actually saw Osaka people saying they dislike Tokyo folks and Kyoto people making sarcastic remarks.

If I’m not speaking in Kansai dialect, I get told that I sound girly or cold, but if I try to imitate Kansai dialect, it’s obvious that I’m faking it, so it’s quite tricky.

A friend who went to school in Osaka is starting to call McDonald’s “Makudo” during summer vacation…

Some things are easily contagious…
I have a friend from Osaka who comes back with the dialect of wherever he went on business trips.

Do you call McShake “Macdo Shake”?

From a Kansai person’s perspective, it sounds like a Kyushu intonation no matter how you listen to it.
I have an acquaintance who was told, “You’ve started speaking like you’re from Kansai…” when they returned to Kyushu.

The McDonald’s vs. McDonald’s debate is like pro wrestling.
I was quite annoyed when I was pointed out for the cold noodles at 7-Eleven and treated as if I was trying to be funny.

I’ve been calling McDonald’s “Mack” as a little joke in the McDonald’s area for so long that it has now become established as “Mack.”

If you really hated it, you would ignore it without even bringing it up, so I guess it’s just pro wrestling…

When a story is long and the conclusion is unclear, you end up thinking, “So? What’s the point?”
If a conversation ends abruptly without reaching a conclusion, you can’t help but think, “What was that conversation about…?”

By the way, isn’t it unnecessary to add McDonald’s to the shake every time?
That’s McDonald’s French fries too.

The official abbreviation is “Mac.”
What the hell is McDonald’s, are you stupid?

It’s turned into a donut, hasn’t it?

It seems like the whole country might suddenly get angry if it becomes McDonald’s.

(So it ended…)

What’s the punchline? I’ve never said that, and I thought about when someone might say it, but I think the only time would be when I’m endlessly listening to some trivial story like a dream I had yesterday.

What does this conversation mean? It’s just a line for when you get fed up.

For now, let’s start the comedic drawing, it’s kind of like the atmosphere here, right?

I’m going to interrupt you!

I mean, I’ve never seen anything like the picture in the thread in Osaka.

What people from Osaka actually say in that situation is “You’re being difficult.”

Recently, there are many ticket vending machines that can’t be fixed by the staff at the site when they malfunction, so all we can do is get a laugh first and then apologize.

The thread images are extremely erotic…

When are you going to finish that boring, long story? Just get to the point.
The result of gently compressing this is “What’s the punchline?”

Amateur comedy isn’t really that funny.

I feel that people in Tokyo are colder or more lacking in composure compared to other regions.

This feels like Osaka, where the atmosphere can either become friendly or turn into a real fight.

In Osaka, when the food service is slow at a restaurant, people often jokingly say, “They must be harvesting it now.”
Tokyo people complain right away.

I often hear people say they’re fishing in Osaka Bay or harvesting crops right now.

What’s interesting about people from Osaka is that even those who are somewhat gloomy try to say funny things.
This person is trying to say something, but my conversation skills are better even though I’m not from Osaka…
