Slap stick comedy is kinda their thing, honestly. Not too surprising that they incorporate it when and where they can.I think what also hurts him for me is the fact its a 3d MMO as opposed to a 2d anime or cartoon. ...And even in anime I have a hard time finding some of the over the top faces to be funny. Here in FFXIV? It just gives extreme creepy vibes.
...Also I thought there was a Japanese word for it that I don't remember? /shrug Slap stick works!
The thing about slapstick comedy is that it's one of the purest form of comedy, meaning it transcends any need for cultural reference, unlike other kinds of comedy.

Asahi, hands down, but he's meant to be unlikable so they got that right, and I'm fairly certain the current Fandaniel persona was just an excuse to bring him back.

Can't remember her name but she is about as useless as she is good looking. Sorry we can't do anything about the raping and murders around my city state...the trees are sad.
When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.
Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.

When the game's story becomes self-aware:
