The story
TBS’s comedy special ‘King of Comedy 2026′ aired live starting at 6:00 PM on October 17, and comments poured into the live-thread on the Hello! Project idol board, where fans of Dau 90000 gather. The thread is active there because a member of Dau 90000 has a personal connection to a Hello! Project idol, drawing idol fans’ attention to this comedians’ special as well. In the main competition, the first act, Ganso Ichigo-chan, scored 629 points, while Spicy Garlic, who advanced through the loser’s-bracket comeback slot, scored 636. At the same time, some viewers called the elaborately constructed bits ‘basically a theater troupe,’ while others griped that ‘it’s the same every year, I’m bored of it’ — leaving opinions split on where the laughs were supposed to be.

Did you all catch
TV Asahi's 'Weekly Dau Report,'
which aired late last night?!
Dau 90000's Yoshihara Rena-chan
is actually a childhood friend of mine!!!
Whenever Dau 90000 is on a comedy show
I always go 'oh, that's Rena-chan's voice~'
and it gives me energy,
and more than anything, she's just hilarious and I love her so much 🥳
I was really happy
to see her again after so long,
and I'm just so full
of gratitude
for getting a chance like this 🥰🥰
Rena-chan,
thank you 🫶

Doesn't she say her catchphrase 'that's right' anymore?
It's an incredibly thin connection, but sure, let's count her as one of ours
Spicy Garlic
Yeah, theater-troupe stuff — that's a pretty common structure
It'd fit better as a theater script or a drama/film screenplay
so I think I'm good
Exactly
I only knew them as 'Dau whatchamacallit' before this
They got eliminated
Though just making it this far is impressive
Background and Talking Points
This thread exists on the ‘Hello! Project’ board because Dau 90000 member Yoshihara Rena has a personal connection — they’re childhood friends — with a Hello! Project idol, which creates fertile ground for idol fans to live-thread even a comedians’ special. ‘King of Comedy’ is TBS’s annual autumn competition to crown Japan’s top sketch-comedy act, and this year’s edition pits the top acts chosen from 3,445 entries against each other. The split in opinion within the thread comes down to a gap between those who see the elaborately constructed bits as ‘theater-troupe-like’ or ‘unnecessary as comedy,’ and those who shrug it off as ‘the same thing every year’ — though the text doesn’t make clear which specific act each comment refers to. It’s also worth noting that, as of the posts captured in this article, there’s no mention yet of final rankings or an eventual winner; all that’s confirmed is the first act’s score, the comeback-slot score, and the fact that Spicy Garlic won the loser’s-bracket slot.
