comedy show

I got on an express ferryboat, named "turbo jet", to go to Macau from Hong Kong. Maybe, it took only about an hour or less, and since it was so nice day and sky was so high, the ferry didn't roll so much that we were free to get seasick. In front of my seat, a French family of three, a little girl with parents, enjoyed having snacks watching a TV show.
Interestingly, the TV show was a well-known Japanese comedy program, which had last for more than 10 years and always got a high rating. Although I said it was a comedy show, it might be just like a reality-show that selected people, who won a first heat, made a brief costumed performance in front of judges to win a first prize. For example, two men jointly imitated as a cuckoo clock, while one continuously showed his face painted like a cuckoo from the other's crotch by saying "cuckoo, cuckoo". The French girl in front of me happily laughed, and the two seemed to got a high score in the show, anyway.
Here was in a turbo jet, from Hong Kong to Macau, SAR of China.
