Japanese comedy is 70-80 years behind

I can't wait for Japan's "WHERES THE BEEF" phase.

I mean most of their comedy is “Manzai”, which is essentially Abbott & Costello.

Japanese culture is still very much Confucian, so any sort of making light of authority figures or anyone deemed “above” oneself in the caste-like hierarchy is not done, not even ironically.

They can be, look at the examples, I think it counts.
