Details
The Splatfest repeated the topic of the Splatoon Splatfest of the same title.
"Boke" and "Tsukkomi" are a typical Japanese archetype comic duo, equivalent 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 English name of this Splatfest in Private Battles uses the Japanese words "Boke" and "Tsukkomi", while the English version of the Splatoon manga translates them as "Funny Man" and "Straight Man", and the Splatoon Base website translates them as "Airhead" and "Wisecracker".[1]

Trivia
- This Splatfest's topic was repeated from the Japanese version of Splatoon. This is the fourth time a Splatfest topic was repeated from the original game, following Rock vs. Pop, Money vs. Love, and Chocorooms vs. Chococones, and the second time it was repeated in the same region.
- The panel image for this Splatfest is almost identical to its original iteration, with the only differences being that the Airhead mascot is in a pot instead of a clamshell, and that the Wisecracker 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, 3 February 2019. This was an error, as the CoroCoro website and the game itself listed the Splatfest as starting on Saturday, 2 February 2019.
- 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, with the "ke" kana for Boke rotated counter-clockwise and written to resemble the letter "K", and the "ko" and "mi" kana in Tsukkomi rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
- The promotional artwork for the Splatfest features characters from the Splatoon manga, specifically: Goggles, Bobble Hat, Specs, Headphones, Skull, Gloves, Prinz, and Eight.
- Chapter 31 of the Splatoon manga even features this Splatfest, with Goggles, Bobble Hat, Gloves, and Eight on Team Airhead, and Specs, Headphones, Prinz, and Skull on Team Wisecracker. In the English translation of the manga, the Splatfest was translated as "Funny Man vs. Straight Man".
