Oishinbo/YMMV


  • Memetic Mutation: the anime version is popular on Nico Nico Douga for all kinds of remix videos. Kaibara being Tsundere for Shiro is the most common joke (and not really out of line with the manga).
  • Values Dissonance: Shiro mentions in one story how he would like Japan to resume full-scale commercial whaling.
    • Kaibara is so respected as a gourmet that he can excoriate Shiro at a dinner party in front of their host, be a bad winner and sore loser, sneer, scold, and browbeat others, and in general be a complete jerkwad without anyone batting an eye. After the aforementioned dinner party, Yuko even takes Kaibara's side and mocks Shiro's so-called unmannerly chopstick handling: "I'm going to measure your etiquette!" Imagine Alton Brown trying to pull this.
