The story
Comedian Abareru-kun (40) revealed an episode in which he was genuinely scolded by a showbiz veteran during the filming of TBS’s “Ariyoshi Talk Kingdom.” During a taping where he sat lined up alongside Nicole Fujita and the veteran, the veteran suddenly snapped, “Who do you think you are? You little punk!” Neither Abareru-kun nor the article has revealed the veteran’s name. On 5ch, users have been trading theories based on fragmentary clues like a squeaky hammer prop and the seating order, floating names such as Tomio Umezawa, Beat Takeshi, and Cream Stew’s Shinya Ueda, while others questioned whether the “fury” was genuine or just a staged bit.
Abareru-kun’s Past Run-In With a Furious Veteran: “Who Do You Think You Are? You Little Punk!” Over a Tone-Deaf Remark
Comedian Abareru-kun (40) appeared on TBS’s “Ariyoshi Talk Kingdom: Ariyoshi vs. 20 Comedians — Win Prize Money if You’re Funny, Pay a Fine if You Flop” (airing Wednesdays at 9:58 PM), which aired on the 4th, and shared a moment where a veteran blew up on set.
When the topic turned to “times you got genuinely yelled at as an adult,” Abareru-kun began recounting the taping: “There was a lineup with a veteran performer, a young, lively female talent next to him, and then me.”

What people said
He gets along well with Nicole, so I doubt it's him… though maybe things weren't so great between them at first?
At first she was all sickly-sweet and a bit much, but lately she doesn't seem to bother hiding her moods.
Isn't it "Umezawa Kunio"?
Umezawa is Nicole's dad, though.
But Doppo's wife isn't exactly what you'd call young and lively…
It's not in this article, but on the show he apparently said he got smacked with a squeaky hammer, so it's probably Beat Takeshi.
Good thing it wasn't a real katana.
He's not the host — Abareru-kun said they were sitting side by side, so it can't be Takeshi doing commentary from the sidelines.
Hmm, that sounds like a Takeshi-style bit, but would he really snap back with "Who do you think you are, you little punk"?
Then again, nobody but Takeshi carries around a squeaky hammer…
Maybe Abareru-kun is just exaggerating the story.
If it got too dicey they'd just cut it — there's a lot of scrutiny on this stuff these days.
He must've hit it big young.
Wasn't his act a ripoff of Gekidan Hitori's?
And of course this wasn't a real blowup, just a "play-along" fake-out retort (noritsukkomi).
Just the image of Ken Takakura sitting on the sidelines holding a squeaky hammer would be funny enough on its own.
I don't think so, personally.
Yanagizawa~ (callback to a comedy bit/catchphrase)
Someone who hosts shows probably wouldn't get mad over something like that —
I'd guess it's some veteran who's all bark, all years, no real authority left.
Ah, Mr. Staged-Bit again — "script, please."
Background and Key Points of the Discussion
“Ariyoshi Talk Kingdom” is a variety show with a win-prize-money-or-pay-a-fine format, and episodes where a guest reveals they were “genuinely yelled at” during filming have become a familiar bit, typically told without naming the person involved. In this case too, neither the article nor Abareru-kun himself named the veteran, so the thread’s theorizing is based purely on circumstantial clues — his co-star being Nicole Fujita, what sounds like a squeaky hammer prop, and the seating order — rather than anything confirmed. Discussion split mainly into two points: who the veteran actually is, and whether the anger was even real, with several users suggesting it might have been scripted or a “play-along” fake blowup (noritsukkomi). One thing readers should keep in mind: names like Tomio Umezawa and Beat Takeshi that came up in the thread are purely audience speculation — neither the show nor Abareru-kun ever confirmed them.
