• A story that Mr. Bug-eyed Glasses was talking about:

    • A punchline or twist is necessary for a joke.
    • Unexpectedness adds to the humor.
    • It’s tough to just rehash existing ideas.
    • It’s better to have a form of joking that seems serious at first, but turns out to be a joke, rather than just asking for a funny response.
      • It’s said that it’s better to joke around with cooking (to some extent, actually doing it) rather than doing a traditional comedy routine.
  • Has anyone focused on the word “tei”?

    • Well, maybe someone has.
  • “Tei” seems like the introduction of a research paper.

    • It would be interesting if we could turn this into a clever form of research competition, and if Tokai University could do it well.
