straight man is important in Japanese comedy

I watch US TV comedy show. My friend suggest that watching comedy is good for improving listening English and understanding American joke. I watch comedy in youtube everyday. My favorite comedian is Conan. He is so funny.

Other funny comedian my friend's favorite is
 Norm MacDonald
 David Letterman
 Louis CK
 Jimmy Kinmel


American comedy is funny, but it is different from Japanese joke and American joke.
We have different tastes in humor. I want to understand American jokes.

Most Japanese comedian have team, most team have two people and one person tells a funny story, then the other person feeds him his lines. A person who tells a funny story is funny man.
A person who tells feeds him his lines is straight man. The most important person for making the audience laugh is straight man. In Japanese comedy , timing for feeding his lines is everything.

Best Japanese comedy team is ダウンタウン(だうんたうん） so funny comedians. Popular TV is 「ガキの使い」（がきのつかい)
