Storyline:

He loves laughter, and other people hate him. The true story of a desperate, dream-wracked, and crazy young comedy writer.
Tsuchiya, who lives with his single mother in Osaka, does not get serious work once he graduates from high school, but rather devotes himself to mailing jokes to the “Ohgiri” variety show. Seeking to be recognized as a show “Legend,” he devotes his entire life to laughter, setting himself the task of submitting hundreds of entries per day. After several years of this, he becomes a Legend, but outside of immediate gratification, he gains nothing from this. Next, bringing with him entire notebooks full of jokes, he apprentices at a comedy theater. He is, however, of a stoic disposition devoted only to laughter, and his inability to cooperate makes him unpopular and results in his being fired. At loose ends, he encounters a drifter, Pink, who finds him working at his bar while Tsuchiya now devotes himself to becoming a “postcard craftsman” who submits material to a radio program. The entertainers on the program begin to use material from his postcards.
A comedian Tsuchiya admires, one of a comic duo called “Bacon,” says on the air that he admires Tsuchiya’s material and that he wants “to do material together.” Dreaming of another chance, Tsuchiya heads for Tokyo.
He sets out on his long-cherished dream of creating comedy with these people, but again his single-minded devotion to laughter and his inability to build personal relationships bring him to a devastating conflict with the other staff.
