* {{Postmodernism}}: A [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] example. It only breaks the fourth wall once, but the movie has a handful of playful transitions (wipes, irises, fades, etc.); occasional abandoning of the A-plot to introduce or return to a sketch; goes back-and-forth between “high-art” comedy of manners and “low-art” wacky slapstick; using classical music pieces for its A-plot scenes; thematically blurs the line between “high-class” sophisticated cuisine and “low-class” comfort cuisine; and sometimes jarringly switches tones and genres depending on the sketch or plot point.

The demonstrator is quickly interrupted by a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm_ubnnZusc Western man slurping at his own spaghetti]], which is ironically the correct etiquette for eating Japanese noodle dishes like ramen.
