When boredom strikes in my case, it does quite often. And in times of severe idleness, reluctant and restlessness, this helps. So I guess, though I am not productively using my time which I seldom do these days. Watching their antics helps to kill time in a guiltless and rather cheerful manner.
I guess u can see it as a form of escapism. When others choose to smoke, drink, party and get high. I choose to watch gaki no tsukai. It’s not that I don’t like partying I guess I was just trying to elevate myself and make myself feel better than the rest. But to no avail, to no avail.
Back to the topic, watching these adults who are probably already reaching their 50’s and acting so jovial without a care is something one might consider inappropriate/odd/strange/unfamiliar or even wrong. Though at times their jokes can get really dirty, absurd or even shouldn’t be considered as a joke; an open mind and acceptance in the name of ‘laughs’ makes you close an eye. Let me be more specific here, their funniest series would be the 'batsu games'/ punishment games.
Most of the time you can’t help but smile which consequently leads to…. A lot of laugher. The creativity of the show and the characters frolics brings out a highly entertaining and for some sad people a sort of escapism/relaxation that helps them if only temporarily to get mesmerized and look into another side of life perhaps.
Credit goes to the guys who made the subtitles for others to be able to enjoy the clips and yes to the creativity and the good character of the Japanese people, youtube, the internet, bill gates, technology and if I go on eventually lead to thanking God for creating us. Having said that, I think i am caught up in a dilemma now
Despite getting carried away and out of focus, this is me showing my gratitude.
