Plot: An assortment of sketches that illustrate the most important elements of life. Family, dinner, arguments, and love are all illustrated by wacky situations that include mannequins, zombies, TV hosts, and aliens. There's no real coherence here, just laughter, comedy and a bunch of wacky ideas.

Japanese comedy can be downright bonkers, and this collection of sketches/short films takes full advantage of that. There's a pretty basic narrative frame that tries to tie things together, but ultimately, you're watching a handful of returning ideas in a constant bid to outweird the rest.
Ishibashi goes full-out here, mixing seemingly random ideas with dark comedy and pure absurdity. I think I liked the Fuccon stories the best, but they're all quite nutters, and if you're into Japanese comedy, they'll provide plenty of laughs. Its non-cinematic roots are a bit too apparent for a higher rating, but I had a lot of fun with this one.
