In an Isekai Story, would "Ligma" jokes land or not?

[daviduyoo]

I feel like if a teenager got sent to another world, they would make a ton of these jokes. Like imagine an Isekai mc who is talking with the main villain of the story, and in the middle of the evil monologue he hits him with "ligma" or "sawcon".

Sorry, but... What?

 

[KoyukiMegumi]

Hm, you are assuming the teenager would be a clown or of the sort. So this would be a comedy, right?

Not every teenager is a jokester, if at all.~ But that would be something to see.

Sorry, but... What?

That was my exact reaction LOL

You don't see it for a reason. Any enemy hit with this type of joke gets instantly Thanos snapped. It's just too op.

There are too many inside jokes on the internet for an average person to handle.

It seems you're unfamiliar with the Dragondez concept.

... Cringe.

Demon lord/any generic isekai villain: "Who's Candice?"

Isekai'd English speaker: *Laughs maniacally*

On a side note, the jokes would only land with the denizens of the new world if their language is English or absurdly similar to it. But don't let logic get in your way of shitposting.

Only in a comedy.

Don't see why not?
Even the ? could be funny. Comedy is not the only genre that can have jokes or funny moments

Eh well, dunno how a ligma joke would translate into other languages, but ig I can imagine it like how I imagine puns being in a different language.

Got it, so every jap isekai is a failure for presenting another world where the people speak japanese with sociolinguistic additions like honorifics, which are a very earth's japan thing? You're making a great point here, very interesting.

Cute cat girls? Sexy priestess? Busty milf queens and princesses? No that would stop our grind.

"Hey, asshole. Why dont you go ligma?"
".. Ligma ..what?
"Ligma balls!"
And that, kids, is how I became sworn enemies with King Leon of Parth. That's also how I met your mother, King Leon of Parth's wife

Cause the literature is published in Japanese, therefore it uses japanese honorifics?

Then if the literature is published in english, why can't it have english jokes/humor? Thank you.

I never said it can't, you were twisting my words. I was simply saying ligma feels awkward outside of the comedy genre.

No, you mentioned languages.
Okay, that's fair. Can I ask why you see it that way?
