Downtown’s Hitoshi Matsumoto (62) was asked at a “DOWNTOWN+” YouTube channel event whether he’s “Team Single-ply or Team Double-ply” toilet paper, and delivered a razor-sharp comeback. On 5ch, the thread lit up with practical single-vs-double-ply debates, but since the joke’s backstory involved his colostomy (stoma), opinions split over whether it was actually okay to laugh.
Hitoshi Matsumoto Hits Back with a Perfect Comeback to “Single-ply or Double-ply?” — Event Erupts in Laughter
Downtown’s Hitoshi Matsumoto (62) appeared on the “DOWNTOWN+” YouTube channel as of the 24th. Responding to a question from an event attendee, he pulled off a brilliant comeback.
A short video revealed the Q&A segment with Matsumoto. An event attendee asked him, “Are you Team Single-ply or Team Double-ply for toilet paper?”
Single-ply just feels unreliable, can't trust it
Double-ply, no question

Are you seriously so cheap you wipe with one un-folded sheet at a time?

Double-ply as a rule
If it's single-ply I pull off a ridiculously long stretch

Comedian Kanpei Hazama would just drop his pants first no matter whether he actually needed to go

Matsumoto does a lot of toilet humor, huh
And it's not even funny
14Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:54:53.02ID:zXu0i09j0
Isn't double-ply just the normal choice for everyone?
16Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:55:41.34ID:kKFUpkVI0
This one's actually funny

They sell soft single-ply now too. That's what we use

I used to use double-ply, but
since I like winding off a huge wad at once,
switching to single-ply turned out just right
18Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:56:03.94ID:3Vib4CRi0
Sorry, but
that's really not funny
23Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:57:06.39ID:/SVIZZE90
A papermaker rep said in an interview that single-ply sells better in Kansai while double-ply is the top seller in Kanto

Single or double, I fold it up before use anyway, so it's the same either way

Turning his illness into a lighthearted joke so it doesn't feel heavy is what makes it kind of painful to watch
26Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:57:44.50ID:GLdbvEnX0
It's funny, but that's thanks to the questioner setting him up so well
28Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:57:50.00ID:mgxG4wIc0
Not funny
Are Matsumoto's die-hard fans really paying money to cackle at stuff like this?
37Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:59:43.58ID:6S2x0UGO0
LMAOOOO bro, hahaha, Mattsun bro that's hilarious lol, not a single flop lol lol lol (Kansai-style fan gushing — "not a single flop" nods to Matsumoto's old no-flop storytelling show)
38Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:59:44.58ID:pXRNHEhH0
Cut it out with jokes where you don't even know if it's okay to laugh
40Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:59:55.24ID:2GPKxGQc0
Is this really something we're allowed to laugh at?
What would someone with the same condition say watching this?
41Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:00:06.10ID:beFwPUt/0
Written out as text, genius Matsumoto's joke is depressingly unfunny lol
44Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:00:35.60ID:48BRLWvn0
Mattsun, all you talk about lately is poop
45Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:00:37.57ID:8dnEgdm10
I heard that even at the same price, single-ply isn't just double the length of double-ply —
it's about 50cm longer than that
89Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:08:45.04ID:ECjRLK6b0
Is this really a joke you're allowed to laugh at?
Other patients are going to be furious

He's the one actually living it, so it's fine, isn't it?
111Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:14:57.15ID:I9zWW9Vo0
Good to see his comedic chops haven't dulled one bit
121Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:18:40.73ID:qtEv0jmj0
>>111
Can you still say that after watching that syamu dance that blew up online? (syamu = a notorious Japanese internet meme figure)
127Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:21:31.42ID:4ufskaUN0
He turned even his colostomy into a solid laugh
Gotta hand it to him
