For example, when talking to Yomi about the impending arrival of an Osakan student, Tomo never suggested that they try to talk like an Osakan and then say "That's so funny." They were actually talking about a type of comedy called Manzai. Tomo had a very stereotyped view of people from Osaka, and wanted to playact.
Maybe this is small potatoes, but the flagrant changing instead of explaining irritates me. The changed jokes lack the charm of the originals.
