>Someone goes to a famous restaurant, and eats a dish that tastes horrid. He complains to the cook who made the dish, and the chef said, >"I gave a lot of bribes to become the master chef I yearned for. Now that I'm master chef, I will do my ganbette! "
I think it's because Japanese people have a very low tolerance towards any humor that could be perceived as rude or socially unacceptable
Hudson Green
My favourite joke is when some Japanese person says something. Then it goes quiet. And then the camera pans to the sky and the group goes "EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?!?!?"

i thought that's a black sitcom made in hollywood though.
Carter Ortiz

Depends on whether you value rude humor or social harmony more

I have a friend who's an artist on Twitter. He made one of those "delete this" meme pics and posted it as a reply to a mangaka.
Then all the Japs started discussing about how this is the utmost capital offense and they all blocked him with one of them telling him he should apologize and delete his account. Guy tried to apologize and said it was just a meme/joke, but the Japanese people were having none of it. He lost a ton of Japanese followers, and I think only like 10% of his Japanese followers remain.
Kinda sucks.

japs are as dumb and brainwashed as americans

I was reading some japanese book and how their language lacks sarcasm
Camden Jones
I think they just perceive all sarcasm directed towards a particular person as rude. I could be wrong but in Japan I think sarcasm is really only used like that if you're singling someone out for a real offense.

MAD videos are the nihongo webz' underground. it's not mainstream. sort of like Zig Forums's Zig Forums posting.

I think they're too reactionary. Even here they freak out over the most minuscule criticism. They take every comment as an attack and they will attack back. Your post could be like 99% "Oh, I really love Japan, it's really cool" and you have 1% "but..." and they will freak out on you. They really love being praised.
Another thing with my artist friend is that you can NOT offer constructive criticism on most Japanese artists. You can't say "the angle looks off" or "the wrist doesn't really twist that way". I personally follow a Japanese streamer and he'd block/ban you if you offer any criticism on his art that's not praise.

Might have to do with their work culture as well. You can't talk back to your boss or disagree with them. Always respect the chain of command.
Chase Taylor
You retarded or what? If anything we fuck with our bosses the most, get a job, it’s the same for you guys
Adam Baker
I was talking about the Japanese.

Japanese cultural differences are probably the strongest with criticism. In high school, especially before exams, it is basically considered a sin for parents to insult their child or demoralize them in any way with regard to school.
If you look at the Japanese Wikipedia article for "sarcasm", they classify it as a form of bullying. If any criticism needs to be made, it has to be done extremely politely and indirectly.
Ryan King
It's definitely different, but I kind of like it, the Japanese do a good straight man desu.
Andrew Jenkins
There seems to be some complexity behind it. I wish I completely understood it.
Ian Ward
okay user show us humor from shingapore
Lincoln Morgan
Did he mean that he was busy with giving bribes that he has no time to learn how to cook good? And now after tast becoming chief is solved he's gonna "ganbette", do his best at learning how to cook good?

>it is basically considered a sin for parents to insult their child or demoralize them in any way with regard to school. That isn’t true at all. My friend’s parents would call him a disgrace and beat him with a meterstick if he was below average
