They are talented comedians, but it has been a long time since many of you have heard their name. &#8230;&#8230;</figcaption></figure>
Many of you may have heard the name &#8230;&#8230; for the first time in a while.
The topic of conversation in the comedy world for some time now has been the theory that some comedians who appeared at the school festival were &#8220;lazy.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
The theory spread quickly from a certain post, and a list categorized into &#8220;garbage response&#8221; and &#8220;god response&#8221; spread on the Internet. Shunsuke Ito of the comedy duo Oswaldo, who was nominated for the &#8220;garbage response&#8221; category, wrote in X
 I did a good job and slipped so badly that my nose started to bleed. I was easily misunderstood because of my artistic style,&#8221; he explained.
I&#8217;m sorry about that.
 I&#8217;m sorry about that.
I&#8217;m sorry about that,&#8221; he added in apology.
<h2>I will never forgive you.</h2>
His partner, Yu Hatanaka, also apologized, saying, &#8220;I will never forgive you.
 I definitely do my material at school festivals! I won&#8217;t cut corners, but if it&#8217;s so boring that I&#8217;m cutting corners, I&#8217;m sorry!
I&#8217;m sorry if it was so boring that I cut corners!
The 2009 M-1 champion, Punk Boo Boo (Jun Kurose and Tetsuo Sato), is being singled out as a target.
On social networking sites, people have been complaining about Punk Boo Boo&#8217;s &#8220;shoddy manzai&#8221; at a school festival in the past.
 I will never forgive you.

Punk Boo Boo&#8217;s Kurose is also known for being named as the &#8220;attending comedian&#8221; in a series of reports by Downtown&#8217;s Matsumoto Hitoshi.
He is said to have set up a group of women at a drinking party in his hometown of Fukuoka with Matsumoto&#8217;s participation. This is different from the Tokyo drinking party at which Matsumoto sued Bunshun, and is not the subject of the lawsuit. Kurose also denied rumors of &#8220;sexual favors&#8221; when interviewed by Bunshun at the time.
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead="Some programs were suspended"></div>
Even so, Kurose was forced to take a &#8220;hiatus&#8221; for a while.
On January 18 this year, FBS Fukuoka Broadcasting System (Kyushu local, affiliated with Nippon Television Network Corporation) announced that the February 4 broadcast of &#8220;Koji Imada&#8217;s Suppin Tour,&#8221; in which Kurose appeared, would not be broadcast. The reason was &#8220;for programming reasons&#8221; (it was rescheduled for September 14).
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 After that, in June, Kurose posted on Instagram that he was &#8220;back with a bang&#8221; after revealing the program he would be appearing on at RKB Mainichi Broadcasting. Since then, she seems to have been operating &#8220;normally,&#8221; but the &#8220;corruption scandal&#8221; has brought back the news about Kurose and Matsumoto again,&#8221; said a TV station official.
(TV station insider) As for the &#8220;cutting corners&#8221; fiasco, Hiromasa Yashiki of the comedy duo &#8220;New York&#8221;, a junior comedian, posted a comment on You Tube saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe that something like that would be trending.
 I feel sorry for Punk Boo Boo that something like that would be trending,&#8221; he said on YouTube.
I feel sorry for Punk Boo Boo, too.
 He&#8217;s more of a comic than anyone else. He&#8217;s a great comedian, and he doesn&#8217;t cut corners. It&#8217;s almost too much for us to say.
A person involved in the comedy industry also testified that he was a &#8220;good guy&#8221; and a &#8220;good guy.
A person involved in the comedy industry also said
 He was making people laugh at the school festival. He was making fun of former Jungle Pocket member Shinji Saito just as if he were in his prime.
The same is true of the other comedians.
<h2>The business fee can be as much as 3 million yen.</h2>
Looking at the &#8220;burning&#8221; of the series of &#8220;cutting corners&#8221; at the school festival, it seems that the general public is under the impression that school festivals are local and that it is not surprising if comedians &#8220;cut corners,&#8221; rather than TV or broadcast programs that have the power to spread the word. However, this is not the case.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
However, this is not the case. The foundation of Yoshimoto Kogyo and other comedy companies is supported by sales.
 From New Year&#8217;s Day on January 1, all the comedians start working at once, performing at comedy festivals and events all over Japan to attract customers. The pay is good, sometimes reaching three digits of ten thousand yen, depending on the number of times the comedian performs. For comedians, school festivals and local business events are not places to cut corners, but are the foundation (of their art). If they were to cut corners, Yoshimoto would have fired them before the Internet did,&#8221; said a person involved in the comedy industry.
Speaking of Yoshimoto&#8217;s sales watchdogs, names such as Masumi Yagi of &#8220;Savannah,&#8221; &#8220;Joy Man,&#8221; and pin-up comedian Masashi Kumada can be mentioned. Their annual income is tens of millions of yen. Yoshio Kojima, who works for another agency but is a popular figure at kids&#8217; events, is said to be in the billions.
 &#8220;It&#8217;s in the hundreds of millions,&#8221; a source in the comedy business said.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of money,&#8221; said a source in the comedy industry.
For comedians, the &#8220;school festival season&#8221; is a good time to make money. The unexpected attention they have received has led to a lot of talk in the comedian community.
 If I slip up, I will be exposed.
The mood in the comedian community is more tense than ever.
