And if it was good comedy I'd be fine with that, but it isn't. It's just the dude waving around his dolls and the chief checking his horoscope and then gurning to the camera. That's not funny. It's almost Shunpei levels of unfunny (almost).

I've been rewatching W and just got done with the Liar Dopant arc, which is legitimately hilarious. W had wacky characters. It had Akiko, who was aggressively comic relief. But W made it work because the comic relief characters still interacted with the plot and did important things outside of making jokes. On that show it was more the interplay between the characters that led to the humor, not just a couple of guys acting weird.

Akiko seeing Phillip in a dress and then having a dramatically over-the-top meltdown, complete with spotlight, was funny. The chief saying "Today's lucky color is blue!" and making a funny face is not.
