MadaraUchiha said:I think slapstick works very well in anime. And, also, quirky character jokes, like in the case of Sakamoto or Saki Kusuo.
KuranKaname said:What are slapsticks? I didn't know anything about them and I thought you will me mentioning something else . Are you talking about saiki kusuo no seinen there?
MadaraUchiha said:Saiki Kusuo no Psi nan, yes, but not for slapstick.
Slapstick as in, something like Full Metal Panic Fumoffu. It's basically visual gags.
KuranKaname said:If slapstick include chopper putting the chopsticks in his nose, is disgusting and funny too. I am not fan of visual gags
MadaraUchiha said:Those are really rudimentary and stupid, along with poop, fart jokes. I'm not talking about those things.
KuranKaname said:Then what are you talking about? I lost you half the way. Blame is on me as I don't come here regularly
MadaraUchiha said:You said you hated visual gags and cited picking noses as an example. I said picking noses, and making poop and fart jokes are like the simplest one can make, and that I wasn't talking about stuff like that.
MadaraUchiha said:I guess when anime turns meta, there's a lot of room for jokes.
KuranKaname said:what's a meta? i know of mecha anime but not a meta is it a acronym?
MadaraUchiha said:It means being self-referential, or commenting on the tropes of the genre. Like what Gintama or Saiki Kusuo do with Shonen anime.
And, this is something universal, for all medium, but a fish out of water trope is funny too, if executed well.
KuranKaname said:Even now I don't get what you mean by that. You must be talking about making gags about their own show
KuranKaname said:Anime belonging to their genre is the one that I don't get. I get all the things that you are trying to say.
MadaraUchiha said:For example, Gintama, Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball belong to the main genre. I'm talking about when Gintama references one of these anime, or make fun of any tropes or things from these anime.
