The 39th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on November 20th, and viewers erupted in laughter at the Matsuno family's behavior regarding pineapples.
At the end of episode 39, the Matsuno family prepares to cut up and eat the pineapple they received from Heaven ( Tommy Bastow). Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki) worries about where to put the knife, asking, "Will it burn? Or should I cut it here?" Toki (Takaishi) advises them to cut off the stem, saying, "Just cut off this part..." but Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) interrupts, saying, "There... should I cut it there?"
Kan'emon (Fumiyo Kohinata) also said, "That looks like a topknot, so please don't cut it," to which Tsukasanosuke agreed, "Yes, it is. It makes me look like a samurai with a topknot." Just as Kan'emon was about to say, "The pineapple is mine, so I don't want to eat it. I must not cut it no matter what...", Fumi roughly cut off the stem and exclaimed, "I'm going to kill Kanemon Matsuno!" Kan'emon raised his voice, "No way! It'll haunt my dreams. Who would eat something like that? Perry eats it, who would eat it?"
When they cut the pineapple, a sweet smell comes out. Toki tells Fumi, "If we get fired, we won't be able to eat any more, so let's eat as much as we can now." Behind him, Kan'emon declares, "Who's going to eat that?" and Tsukasanosuke places the cut-off stem on his head.
Comments on social media about this exchange included, "What a cheerful family lol," "Laughing so hard this morning," "It's heartwarming to see the Matsuno family starting a comedy skit with a pineapple," "I laughed when the old man was killed," "How can one pineapple be so much fun lol," "The Matsuno family's comedy skit is in top form today as well lol," "The pineapple is a topknot lol," and "It's truly soothing."
