The student tells him not to smoke but Gintoki isn't actually smoking, he's licking a lollipop so fast that it emits smoke. To American viewers, this appears to be a reference to [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment [=4Kids=]]]' infamous {{Macekre}} scene of [[Manga/OnePiece Sanji's cigarette getting replaced by a lollipop.]]

Nagi asks what it is, and turns out it's a Betamax tape, which Jin also doesn't have a player for. Cue the characters looking at Akiba.
