Details
The Splatfest repeats the topic of the Splatoon Splatfest of the same title.

"Boke" and "Tsukkomi" are typical archetype comic duo, equivalent, respectively to "Fool and Straight Man" acts in the west or "Punch and Judy" puppet shows. The Tsukkomi will often reprimand the Boke for his silliness by striking him with an oversized paper fan, which provides a loud and comical sound effect.

The Shifty Station layout that will featured in this Splatfest is not yet known.

Trivia

 * This Splatfest's topic was repeated from the Japanese version of . This is the fifth time a Splatfest topic was repeated from the original game. (see Rock vs. Pop, Money vs. Love, Squid vs. Octopus, and Mushroom Mountain vs. Bamboo Shoot Village)
 * The panel image for this Splatfest is almost identical to its original iteration, with the only differences being that the Boke mascot is in a pot instead of a clamshell, and the second is that the Tsukkomi mascot is an octopus instead of a squid, representing Marina instead of Marie.
 * The announcement in the magazines themselves had the Splatfest as starting Sunday, February 3, 2019. This was an error, as the CoroCoro website and the game itself listed the Splatfest as starting on Saturday the 2nd instead.
 * The Splatfest team icons are unusually not the mascots, rather, they are stylized Japanese text representing the two team names in katakana: ボケ and ツッコミ respectively.
 * The promotional artwork for the Splatfest features characters from the Splatoon manga, specifically: Goggles, Bobble, Specs, Headphones, Skull, Gloves, Prince, and Hachi.
 * Chapter 31 of the Splatoon manga even features this Splatfest, with Goggles, Bobble, Gloves and Hachi on Team Boke and Specs, Headphones, Prince and Skull on Team Tsukkomi.
