I don't really understand the Japanese sense of humor

I don't really understand the Japanese sense of humor.

Why don't they ever seem to use "mean" humor as much? I don't really see banter among Japanese people as much. Do they not find it funny? And what about Western memes?

>I don't really see banter among Japanese people as much
Why would they banter in English?

STFU + KYS

Because other people on this board do. Even in Japanese, I don't see it much.

You first Tanaka

The "Japanese" posters you see here are autistic sexpats and David-kuns stationed there. They don't have banter regardless of what flag they're posting under.

I heard that japanese can't understand irony and sarcasm

Shut it la yer mum's a greggs sausage roll

If they're expats then why is their English so shitty?

I've met a Japanese guy from here when I vacationed in Nagoya for a weekend.

If you really want to know, try watching Terrace House (try the latest season). You find it on Netflix. The panel of commentators roast the participants continuously. You get a true glimpse into Japanese humour.

Looking at the quality of posts here, I'm not surprised at all. NOOOOO NOT THE HECCIN POSTORINO QUALITINO

They are unironically too dumb for irony and sarcasm.

>Why don't they ever seem to use "mean" humor as much?
What? Asian humour is almost exclusively being mean to others and laughing at their misfortune. It's pretty strict really.

This, if you watch Japanese TV shows, there's usually this one guy doing random shit with gigantic funky captions of what he is muttering and a square window featuring reaction faces of a panel of celebs who take the piss out of the guy in a studio

you just haven't seen any mean humor
they can be huge assholes

Their humor is mostly slapstick based

>Terrace House (Japanese: テラスハウス, Hepburn: Terasu Hausu) is a Japanese reality television show franchise consisting of five series and one theatrical film. The show follows the lives of six strangers, three men and three women from different walks of life, who live under the same roof while getting to know and date each other.
better stop watching japanese youtubers bro, youtube is an american platform so they mustn't be real.

>Why don't they ever seem to use "mean" humor as much?

Mean joke are considered as an insult in Eurasia. It is not counted as funny nor well educated. mean jokes are considered as part of criminal and hobo culture. Normal people dont use such jokes because it is dangerous.

i'm japanese

If Yas Forums was featured on Japanese TV it would go like this

Narration: We now go to an American user or "Americanon" as we call him. He's setting up a thread about how Europeans are poor for laughs

Large caption of Americanon talking: "OH YEAH TIME TO ROAST THESE EUROPOORS!"

Narrator: Oh what's this, a Ukranian poster left this message

"SHUT UP FAT"

and other posters follow suit

"SHUT UP FAT"
"SHUT UP FAT"

Narrator: Seems like this roast is not going well for Americanon-kun, he is clearly the one being roasted
Silly sound effects: WHAA WA WAAAAAA
Caption: "DECISIVE DEFEAT"

Studio panel celeb 1: "Poor Americanon"
Studio panel celeb 2: "I think he learned a good lesson today"

>they are still forcing hamada to wear female clothes every year
>tanaka keeps getting thai kickd every year
at least he tried to fight back the other times

What? Japanese humor is mostly slapstick with very little concept of irony

Japanese humour is another level.
Non-Japanese can't understand it.
