There is this channel I came across who's name escapes me.
But it is 2 Japanese guys, one is straight faced and serious, and the other makes goofy faces and has a thick accent, and they "make fun" of the eccentricities of the language.
He would ask him to write the word for something. Then write it for something else, and then pronounce it, and it sounds the same. It is like a Japanese language straight man/silly man routine.
It is a shame I forgot the channel, they were funny yet interesting.
There's plenty of acts that fit the description, they're called "Manzai" or "double-act comedy". The straight man is the "tsukkomi" and the goofy one is the "boke". One of these may fit your bill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai#Notable_manzai_acts
