Human-eating giants might not be funny, but human-eating giants with new jobs in construction are.
Yesterday, Japanese variety show Smap x Smap did a short Attack on Titan skit called âShiniri no Kyojinâ (ć°ĺ ĽăăŽĺˇ¨äşş), which translates as âGiant Newcomerâ (though, the show used the subtitle âNewcomer on Titanâ). Itâs a pun on the animeâs Japanese title, âShingeki no Kyojinâ (é˛ćăŽĺˇ¨äşş).
Smap is a popular Japanese boy bandâthe term âboyâ is used loosely here as the group is advancing in age. In the skit, Smap member Goro Inagki is a construction foreman, and Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is in full Titan makeup.
