His name is Jinnai Tomonori and he's my favorite Japanese comedian.
You may notice that Japanese comedy it alittle different from American comedy. It relies on the environment for something to react to in a new way...
Japan calls this type of comedy "Straight Man" comedy because as the environment changes the person remains straightforward even to the point of being funny. It's also used in America, if you stretch your imagination Focker, Ben Stiller's character, from Meet the Parents is a "straight man" but things happen to him that he reacts to.
Here's more of Jinnai!
This is a pun on misunderstanding lol.
This one is the funniest, I think
Well maybe Meet The Parent's isn't totally a "Straight Man" comedy but the element of him reacting to his fiance's parents is almost like it. There's also elements of American comedy like having a wacky personality, meaning it's more individual based...
A blog that will cure your apathy and inspire your dreams... Warning: All who watch anime, play video games, like J-music and K-music, and the like... ARE OTAKU!

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers
The Otaku Reviewers
This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.
Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.
There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.
The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"
The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.
