Milk Boy Wins M-1 *
Milk Boy won the comedy championship M-1 in 2019 *
They performed a skit based on the conversation, “According to my mom...,” “Then it must be ○○,” “Then it’s not ○○,” which is a quintessential example of manzai!
The judge Matsumoto Hitoshi from Downtown praised it highly as a back-and-forth comedy!
(Here is the popular “Cornflakes” skit *)
Outstanding Versatility *
Following M-1, Milk Boy's skits sparked a flurry of activity on Twitter and forums, becoming a big hit! *
Because their framework can be applied to any theme, people talked about how extraordinarily versatile their material is.
Any theme can be transformed into a completed manzai routine, like Milk Boy’s skits! *
It seems that more and more people are gradually doing this as entertainment at weddings...!!
Indeed, it would be fun to perform skits with themes like “wedding” or “bride and groom” at a reception...!!
How about this flow?? (I thought about it from the perspective of the groom's friend!)
==========================
My mom says she forgot who the bride's favorite person is.
Then, let me help you think of the bride's favorite person. Tell me their traits!
My mom says they’re tall and handsome.
Then it must be the groom, ○○.
But I can’t figure it out.
What don’t you understand?
My mom says they’re so good at singing that they can charm everyone at karaoke.
Then it can’t be the groom, ○○. ○○ has been terrible at singing since school, and when we had a karaoke scoring contest, he came last among the baseball team members. So it’s definitely not him.
That’s true.
Can you tell me a little more detail?
My mom says they still play baseball.
Then it must be the groom, ○○. I hear ○○ is still a key player in his company’s baseball team. They say nobody can hit ○○'s slider!
But, I still don’t get it.
What don’t you get anymore?
I thought the bride's favorite person was the groom, ○○, but my mom says they have bad fashion sense.
Then it definitely can’t be ○○, he has always been the best dressed among us...
(This is repeated)
==========================
How about arranging it in this way to talk about the charms or abilities of the groom (or bride)...??
It would be a lot of fun to watch Milk Boy’s videos for research and imitate their timing and interjections to create a really entertaining performance! *
Milk Boy’s skits might become popular at wedding receptions
Milk Boy’s skits that won M-1 seem likely to become a trend at wedding receptions and company welcome and farewell parties! *
Since it's this year’s trending comedy, if you’re asked to perform, definitely give it a try...!
