* Lampshaded in the Japanese version of the ''Mac & PC'' commercials. By maintaining the outfits from the US version, Mac has inadvertently become a casual-clad Tsukkomi while PC is the formal-wearing Boke. Given that these two actors form the comedy group Rahmens, this may have been deliberate. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnzmXD2YTqc&feature=rec-HM-r2 Watch all 12 of them here.]▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Sket Dance]]'' is one giant Shonen-style Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, quite arguably. Although all of the Sket Trio can be any of the two roles depending on the situation, Bossun and Himeko are able to pull off this act ''masterfully'', even when in their everyday interactions with each other.
** Chiaki Takahasi pointed this out when Bossun met Himeko for the first time.

* A [[Running Gag]] in the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's]]'' [[Fan Web Comic]] ''[http://ashitahadocchida.onmitsu.jp/as_nano.html A's Nano]'' has Hayate [http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4272/asnano59.jpg being portrayed as a master] of the Boke and Tsukkomi routine due to having a [[Kansai Dialect]]. Note: Link may be considered [[NSFW]].
* One of the welcome surprises resulting from the [[Crazy Awesome]] that is ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' is the Rei-Asuka comedy duo. Rei is the boke, while Asuka, perhaps understandably, thinks "tsukkomi" is some sort of bizarre Japanese perversion and refuses to listen whenever someone attempts to explain it.
* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', Kanae and Kunikida think that Yanagimoto and Taniguchi are trying to invoke this while dating.
* In the ''[[LazyTown

* [[Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahende|Downtown]], possibly the most famous manzai duo, could be considered a subversion nowadays, having shifted from the rigid manzai to a more fluid conversational style of humor.
* The Autobacs M-1 Grand Prix is an annual manzai ''tournament'', sponsored by Yoshimoto Kogyo (the largest ''jimusho'' (artist management company in Japan) and broadcast on Asahi TV. Many of the most prominent Japanese comedians of the last ten years came into the public's eye through their appearances in the competition.
Line 99:
* In ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'', Ryuunosuke and Genta's interaction borders on this. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] when they actually do a manzai routine to amuse the others at New Year.
== [[Radio]] ==
* [[Ricky Gervais]] (tsukkomi) and [[Karl Pilkington]] (boke) have this exact dynamic in their routines on ''[[The Ricky Gervais Show]]''. Karl, an "idiot", is brought in and asked to talk about various [[Seinfeldian Conversation]] topics, which soon derail into [[Cloudcuckoolander|total nonsense]], at which point Ricky corrects him by shouting "[[Catch Phrase|Don't. Talk. Shit.]]"

'''[[Statler and Waldorf|Statler]]''': Why not? Better than being in front of it!
'''[[Memetic Mutation|Both]]''': Do-ho-ho-ho-hoh! }}
