Niiyama, 33, of the Japanese comedy duo Sayaka, recently appeared on Fuji TV’s “Shinya Ueda’s Talk Proficiency Ranking,” where he made a bold statement about veteran comedian, Messenger Kuroda. the show, which pits comedians against each other in a themed talk competition, had contestants discuss a time they felt like an “old man.” Niiyama’s choice of words certainly surprised the audience.
“Um… speaking of old people in the Kansai area… Messenger Kuroda,” Niiyama declared, prompting gasps and worried questions from the studio. Undeterred, he continued, “That person is just an old man, so it’s okay.”
His comments weren’t entirely negative, however. niiyama explained his perspective, recalling frequent visits to Kuroda’s home in Osaka. “Kuroda-san just loves cooking. He’s really good. He’s very good at it,” he said, describing Kuroda’s culinary skills. These late-night gatherings, typically starting around 8 p.m.and lasting until 2 or 3 a.m., often ended with a seemingly simple dish.
“When it was almost time to leave, Mr. Kuroda said, ‘Let’s finish with udon.’ Udon was the final dish,” Niiyama recounted. However, the seemingly simple udon planning took an unexpected turn. “He started making udon from scratch, saying, ‘I start making udon from flour.’ ”
Kuroda’s dedication to his craft, even when his guests where clearly ready to leave, provided a comedic highlight. Niiyama shared a photo of Kuroda at the time, describing his expression as “a gorgeous smug look on his face.” The image,along with the anecdote,elicited laughter from the studio audience and viewers alike.
While Niiyama’s comments might seem disrespectful at first glance, the context reveals a humorous observation on generational differences and the dedication of a master chef. The story highlights the unexpected humor found in everyday situations and the enduring appeal of a well-told anecdote. The segment has sparked online discussions about the generational gap in comedy and the art of the perfectly timed joke.

Can you elaborate on the core issue underlying this comedic exchange?

WTN: Where do you think comedy is headed in terms of generational differences? Will we see more of this type of clash?
Senior Editor: It’s likely that generational differences in humor will continue to be a source of both amusement and conflict.
Younger generations are pushing boundaries, using humor as a tool for social commentary and to challenge established norms. Older generations may find this unsettling,but it’s a natural evolution of comedy. What’s crucial is that we strive to understand the intent behind the humor, rather than simply judging it based on surface-level observations.
