I recently found some english subbed clips of a comedy show featuring the Downtown Duo and several others who I just learned the names of, Tanaka and Endou of Cocoricco(?) and Yamazaki-san. at first I didn't know the title of the show, but I guess it's Gaki no Tsukai. It one totally hilarious shows, like many japanese shows I found. Their batsu game thing totally got to me, I can't stop laughing.
I'm now watching the "Do not laugh bath house english sub" and just gotta say, "OUCH! that gotta hurt!", the blowdart in the butt.
As much comedians as there is in Japan, I think Downtown is probably my fav. I loved watching their HEY!x3, started watching because of Morning Musume/H!P but now I would watch anything of theirs as long as their is english sub.
other japanese shows I'd watched, pretty much anything with english subs, with anything funny, even clips of stand-up comedy of comedians/tarento/personality, people I don't really know.
I like Mecha Mecha Iketeru starring Ninety-Nine, especially the Okajo Bakajo test and the Sports festival, both starring MoMusu. but even without H!P, I would still watch it w/ engsub.
Utaban and MSta was interesting, sometimes, but I stopped watching cuz 1) not as funny as before and 2) no more H!P artists...
also comedy skits and also other talk shows, even of non-comedian, like idols/tarento are also funny, I watched and enjoyed several of KinKi Kids' (Shin) Doumoto Kyoudai, SMAP's SmapXSmap, Arashi's ___ (forgot the title), etc...
