* ClueOfFewWords: Parodied in one of Japanese comedian Tomonori Jinnai's skits; he plays a police officer who is investigating a series of murders, where the victim has written a clue in their own blood as they died. However, the clues are not as straightforward, do not make sense, or, for humor, outright defy the trope. As a few examples out of the two versions of the skit that were performed, one victim has written what appears to be the name of the suspect, but when read in [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseDialects Kansai dialect]] in Kanji, it translates to "What the hell?!" Another one has written and drawn an apology notice for inconveniencing their friends and family (even with a bowing character), and as a final example, one drew the music staff and notes for the death theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''.

Netajin is the name of a series of comedic skits done by Japanese comedian Jinnai Tomonori (Jinnai being his family name). Essentially, each skit has him acting out a one-man [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine Manzai]] routine, where he functions as the Tsukkomi and the boke is usually an inanimate object that has decided to stop working for him. Notably, almost all of the skits feature him interacting with a large screen on his right that is something different every time, like a TV, arcade machine, airplane safety video, etc. Though none of the skits were initially given English subtitles officially, some nice people at [[http://www.tvnihon.com/ TV-Nihon]] went and did the first 3 volumes themselves. You can find some of the subtitled skits on [=YouTube=] (see [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6xT-lWXPKA53A68Pw_C-AHMuMxvpsrta here]], though the ones posted by Jodi Caesarnada have been blocked for copyright) or you can download them all straight from TV-Nihon.

*CulturalTranslation: When doing his skits in the US, certain references have to be changed to suit the country.
