Who's the funniest guy (or gay) in Japan?
Hard Gay!
I have a new pastime at the office when things get slow, which only happens when our Frankenstein boss is not around intimidating everybody (he has this annoying habit of talking to people so close, you can actually smell AND see what he had for breakfast!). It's watching videos at YouTube and Google Video.
And while browsing around at lunchtime, I caught this clip of Hard Gay, a Japanese comedienne who dresses up in Village People/Freddy Mercury black leather cut-offs and studs, and has the physique of a pro-wrestler. He goes around the city doing random acts of kindness, but with his trademark gay style-- He loves to pelvic-thrust with arms raised, and shouts "Fooohhhhh!!" at the end of any phrase (Wait, I know someone who’s exactly like that…). His real name btw. is Masaki Sumitani, and he’s straight(not gay).
A picture of Hard Gay in action, taken from the show Bakuten. The purple text reads, "Welcome to the Hard Gay gas station!"
He’s absolutely sidesplitting, and has achieved cult status in Japan from what I read. The last clip I saw him in was his visit to Yahoo!’s Japan office. At the end he strapped himself with neon-light ropes, arms raised, and crane lifted to replace the “Y” in a huge outdoor neon sign of Yahoo! (And yes, whenever the sign lights up, he shouts “Yahoo!”).
