Can i also add that the ping pong skit was done very much in the old skool style of "Bunraku." This is puppet theatre, that was popular during the Edo period (untill the Shogunate banned it, cause of too many immitation suicides). The people dressed in black, are wearing the traditional garb of the Bunraku puppeteers. I believe they were called "Koroko." The only difference, is that they were manipulating people, rather than puppets.
