"The Catchphrase's Energy is Too Low": Chiaki Kobayashi Stunned by Direct Criticism from a Program AD!? Hiroki Yasumoto Shows Off His "Skillful Maneuvering"

Chiaki Kobayashi: "You appeared in my dream last night." Hiroki Yasumoto: "That's creepy!"

Next up was the segment "Tell Me, Communication Class." Yasumoto and Kobayashi aimed to solve a problem raised by AD Yoshida: "When suddenly asked a question, I don't know how to respond to keep the conversation going, especially if I haven't done anything memorable." Yoshida elaborated on his dilemma: "If I'm asked, 'What did you do this weekend?' and I just say 'Nothing,' the conversation stops, and I feel like I haven't done anything distinctive." Yasumoto suggested: "Why not reply with a question? You can just suddenly point and say, 'Nothing. What about you?' (laughs)" The comments section on ABEMA reacted with "He would totally do that wwww." Kobayashi playfully interjected, "You'll finish off 'Social Worker Yoshida'!" spreading more laughter.

Following this, Yasumoto and Kobayashi took on a challenge where they had to gracefully respond to questions displayed on a cue card, inserted naturally into a free-flowing discussion. During a talk about "What I'm into lately," Kobayashi asked Yasumoto, "Don't people tell you this current hairstyle suits you the best?" Yasumoto immediately replied, "No, they don't." His quick response made the staff erupt in laughter. When Kobayashi pressed further, "I've always thought you looked like a friend of mine from middle school," Yasumoto again answered, "I don't know them." "Is that what this whole segment is about!?" a bewildered Kobayashi asked. Yasumoto responded with a convincing justification: "Even if it were true, if you don't follow up, I can't expand the conversation either. It's better to just say 'I don't know' this time, so it doesn't lead to unnecessary developments. If I had to expand it by saying, 'Oh, what kind of person is that? What are they doing now?' that would be much tougher!"

When Kobayashi mentioned, "You appeared in my dream last night," Yasumoto retorted, "That's creepy!" and added, "We don't have that kind of relationship where I'd show up in your dreams. I don't dream about Chiaki." Kobayashi shot back, "Can I write a novel? With the title 'I Don't Dream About Chiaki'..." plunging the studio back into laughter.

The show also featured games like the "Hissatsu-waza (Finishing Move) Psychological Game" and the "Tape Craft Battle You're Expected to Win," where winning against AD Yoshida earned the hosts bento meal tickets, concluding a lively broadcast across various segments.
