Japanese comedy is 70-80 years behind

I can't wait for Japan's "WHERES THE BEEF" phase.
I mean most of their comedy is “Manzai”, which is essentially Abbott & Costello.
Japanese culture is still very much Confucian, so any sort of making light of authority figures or anyone deemed “above” oneself in the caste-like hierarchy is not done, not even ironically.
Idk man some of these are hilarious. https://www.boredpanda.com/mundane-halloween-hilarious-costumes-japan-taiwan/
