Personally, that's what I like about it. I see and hear jokes about American (and some British) pop culture and random crazy news stories all the time. I like seeing other bits of pop culture in joke-form. I like seeing a different perspective.

Now I'm just thinking of this Thor fanart a Korean artist did--it was lovely, and it also involved a Korean idiom used to make a pun. The artist explained in the comment section. The joke was still funny and now I know that "hold the iron" is a Korean idiom for "act your age." Double win.

Or to a more common sort of experience--exactly how many American anime fans knew all the little bits of cultural short-hand that pop up in the average anime. Somebody had to tell me that "when you sneeze, it means someone's thinking about you" before I got it. But, y'know...still provides funny cuts.

And when she's doing a joke based on an obscure news story, eh, it's not all that different from the Daily Show doing the same thing, except they show the story first, and she just puts it in her comments.

Not that Humon's stuff is flawless. But humor from other countries is always an interesting study.

100% this.

I don't know this series or any of the specifics you talked about, but I agree with all the sentiments behind this post, and would like to add that this anime cultural short-hand is not just something American watchers pick up on. ;) It's possibly one of my favourite bits of watching anime, actually - learning all the different idioms and sayings. I've heard the sneeze one so many times sometimes I actually think it myself whenever people sneeze.
