Dokyumentaru (2016)
Seriously a bucket of laughs.
We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, I just saw it had comedians from another country (we are US), and we like comedy (husband and myself). I read the synopsis, but totally sprung the show on him w/o warning. Episode 1 is an intro, you'll want to have watched it if you continue. Then it's not holds barred in a room with 10 professional comedians, all who will do anything to make the others laugh. ANYTHING. Each season has it's surprises. And don't discount anyone. Translation to Eng subs works great, jokes come across just fine. I highly recommend this show, we are dedicated fans now. Also, a great way to get aquatinted with Japanese comedy, and comedians.

Kwoon (2004)
Cult classic waiting to be found
Stumbled upon this at a comic book convention, and it's amazing. Good Kung Fu, bad acting. For reals. The story is solid enough, and you can tell they are all having fun. Lots of good running jokes, and surprisingly feminist for a show with almost all men. My favorite was the mummy episode. Lost the disk years ago, and I'm still super bummed.
