もう『天才』としか言いようがない。

しかしこれ凄いね。

正に命がけの漫才だね。

今の当たり障りの無い漫才とは訳が違うよ。

I can't understand but they are so funny

[isaacakira]

わっか！！！！

@bariwh55 - don't translate すごい as "terrible" in this context. What you mean is "awesome". "Terrible" implies 悪い, which I don't think is what you mean! ;)

全盛期のこの速さとネタの数はすごい。パンクな感じ。たけしの漫­談状態。死刑囚のネタは30­年後の今でも最高の輝き。漫才史の­中でも定型外で最高。

This speed of the golden age and the number of materials are terrible. It is like a stand-up comedy of [takeshi]. After 30 years the two-beat's comic dialogue is the still highest shine. The Two-Beat is the highest funny team in the history of Japanese comic dialogue.

@Ogknav - LOL! Glad you made the connection and derived happiness from it.

Japan can be a baffling and often maddeningly confusing culture (like any other major world culture) with a series of subtexts and subcultures that take time to assimilate and contextualize.

But once done - at least at one or even a couple levels - the entire scheme of things begins to make sense. Japan is a wonderfully consistent culture with a magnificently bewildering, austere predictability - you have to unlock it.

Ah now I understand.

Watching Gaki No Tsukai when Endo and that guy had to imitate Beat Takeshi in the Hospital Batsu. The other guy randomly starts going "Kiyoshi!". It was funny but I didn't understand the background of the joke. Now it makes sense lol
