Nininbaori (二人羽織) is a Japanese comedic party trick[ citation needed] where two people wear the same large coat ( haori) and pretend to be one ( hunchbacked) person. One person is the "face" and the other is the "arms". [1] Humor arises from the arms never being coordinated with the face.
This type of skit is considered a staple of Japanese comedy and is commonly used as a part of comedy shows; live stage performances, owarai (television comedy), and rakugo.
The basic concept of nininbaori-type humour is seen in the comedy of many cultures. The English comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? has a similar act called "Helping Hands".
