Detailed Summary[]
Yoshitake's questionable gag
The main trio are at Tadakuni’s house and holding an impromptu talent show. Yoshitake stands in front of the others and tells them he will perform a trick. He holds up a struggling freshwater crab and opens his mouth slightly. Nervously, he brings the crab close to his face. As the others keep staring, it suddenly pinches his mouth and he starts yelping in agony. The others are just confused and tell him they don’t understand his trick, as he continues yelling.
Hidenori gestures for Tadakuni to perform next. He stands up with a milk carton and tells them he is going to make the milk come out of his eye. He then holds one eye open while raising the carton above his head and tilting it towards himself. The others are unable to understand how this will make the milk come out of his eye, and they tell him as much. They are quite annoyed when he pours the milk on to his eye, shutting his eye so that some of it splashes out.
Hidenori gears up
As Tadakuni dries his face, Hidenori stands up. He tells the others to pay close attention to the trick. He then slightly bends his arms and legs, clenches his fists, and groans as if exerting himself a great deal. After this continues for a few seconds, the zipper of his pants automatically comes down, without him touching it, leaving Yoshitake and Tadakuni stunned.
