Question from a reader:
When Nagano appears on TV, I can’t help but feel like I don’t want to watch. Is it just me?
About Television and Preferences
Recently, while chatting with friends about television, Nagano came up in our conversation. I completely understand the feeling of not wanting to see him on screen. In fact, I went through a phase
where I felt the same way. His unique style and humor just didn’t resonate with me, and watching him ended up being quite stressful.
The Dilemma with Commercials
Especially when he suddenly appears in a commercial, I find myself thinking, “Oh no, not again!” In my case, I often want to grab the remote and change the channel, which is indeed a tricky moment. It feels forced to be made to watch, and before I know it, I’ve switched to another program but somehow found myself back on the original channel… (laughs). However, it’s natural for every public figure to have both fans and detractors. For Nagano’s fans, his humor might be the best, while others, like me, may find him a bit challenging. Both reactions are completely normal.
Moments of Empathy
The other day, while snacking with a friend, we ended up talking about Nagano, and surprisingly, he shared similar feelings. This led us to discuss what types of comedy we enjoy, and we ended up reminiscing about old stand-up and skits. That moment was genuinely enjoyable! Though, I did end up eating too many snacks and had a bit of a full belly by the end, which was a small regret (laughs).
What Are Your Thoughts?
I believe everyone has their own preferences and aversions, but I’m curious—when do you find yourself thinking, “I really don’t want to see this”? Also, if you have favorite comedies or stand-up acts, please share! I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations for comedy that we can all enjoy together. I look forward to reading your comments!
