Well, when you can't see the punchline coming it's DEFINITELY a lot funnier, that's one of the reasons I got bored with gokudolls, their jokes got stale. I also agree that Kyouhei would have made for a better MC due to all the reasons you mentioned :D
I don't know, maybe it's something of a cultural difference but I could easily relate to the show, it reminded me a LOT of my own university days and all the crazy stuff we did. The "absurd" doesn't seem so absurd from my viewpoint, so maybe that's a point in our diverging opinions?
I enjoyed this conversation quite a bit, BTW, and thanks for the rec, I'll check it out and see if I like it :D
