I was reading this thoroughly researched but also strangely corporate sounding article but I got distracted thinking about Hellshake Yano.

Ain't he one of the overly pointy chin guys from the 'sexy otome' parody anime or something.

The appearance is a pretty close reference to the yaoi parody Gakuen Handsome but the character isn't named "Yano", it's Sakuya Mitsurugi.

A 'Hellshake' sounds much like something one would find in the menu of a sports bar, I say.

It's not about being funny, it's about Hellshake Yano.

In all seriousness, the actual Hellshake Yano skit was one of the most creative presentation in anime I've seen this year.
