My name is Axon. My planet is Neptune.
Why is jars plural
The doctor put one per jar.
Wait, I thought this joke was about marbles in jars.
What are you guys referencing?
Testicles after bottom surgery

Sorry man, the zipper on my sack is fused shut. Can't get the balls out.

I don't think anyone can be so familiar with the Japanese language and culture to fully understand gintama. It's still amazing tho
I bet to Japanese people it'll age weirdly with the references it kept making to politicians and actors of the time.
I really enjoyed it when it wasn't trying to be a shonen jump anime. My favourite episodes like the Nabe Shogun bottle episode, or the several lazy animator episodes either with the drawing quality rock bottom or the paralysis with no animation at all.
I used to watch it on a service called something like animeftw or something that's no longer around on an xbox xbmc setup. So much nostalgia when I see screen caps.
I can think of roughly 123 million who can.
There's some really obscure references in gintama, now maybe everyone in Japan is as well versed in old Japanese TV and cinema as Sorachi Hideaki? I think part of its appeal is it's esoteric references though.
As far as the puns go, I'll admit most fluent Japanese speakers understand them (I'm not fluent).
I can still think of at least a few people who will understand Gintama
Dandadan?
