The first time I saw KY was on Japanese primetime tv before school started, and I thought to myself, "man, this is some crazy shit. Oh well, since I'll never see it again I guess it's worth a chuckle." But alas, I was pretty wrong as it turns out that KY is the flavor of the month and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. His gag basically consists of him coming out in a thong, making a mistake, breaking into song, making inane observations, breaking into 'そんなの関係ねぇ～！’ (translation: that has nothing to do with this!), before finally breaking into an equally grating　'へいおっぱぴ～！' (roughly abbreviated and translated as: Ocean Pacific Peace). Repeat a few times and add a couple shots of talents breaking into forced laughter and you have topnotch Primetime TV!

Now, I don't mind that people enjoy him, nor do I mind that he's on tv. However, I do mind that almost everyday, I'm bound to hear his irritating gag 5 times. He is pretty much the bane of my existence. Literally, not a day goes by where my students won't do his gag, or adverts for his song/videos won't jump onto my phone. Heck, adults are no better, they too are eager to jump into a 'sonna ni kankei ne' at any minute's notice. I tend to be very careful to make sure that everything I do is related to something else, for fear of triggering a KY attack. My nonsequiters(sp?) have suffered in the crossfire.

Gah!! I don't get it! It can't be THAT funny! Someone explain his mass appeal, PLEASE!
