Owarai (お笑い owarai) is a broad word used to describe Japanese comedy as seen on television. The word owarai is the honorific form of the word warai meaning a laugh or a smile. Owarai is most common on Japanese variety shows and the comedians are referred to as owarai geinin or owarai tarento. Presently Japan is considered to be in an owarai boom and many minor talents have been finding sudden fame after a gag or skit became popular.
