Chainsmoker Cat's 'Relatable Moments' Reel Isn't Actually Relatable, Fans Say

Chainsmoker Cat's official channel posted a new short called "Yani-neko's Relatable Moments, I Wanna Say," splicing together several of the cast's greatest-hits bits into one clip set to a parody of the show's own ending theme, "Nothing Much." Across the clip's 1,370 comments, the top reaction (6,153 likes) just calls out one specific bit — a running gag involving a housemate nicknamed Kansai — as the funniest thing that character's ever done.

From there, the thread splits between picking favorite callbacks — a sniffing gag, a housemate's sudden "seppuku mode," and Imoko walking into a smoke-filled room without her usual mask — and arguing the video doesn't even deserve the word "relatable," especially once the official channel's own subtitles removed any room to pretend a rougher line said something cuter.

It ends on the cast's cutest reaction shot yet — see which line gets the credit.

Chainsmoker Cat's official channel — the same account that's been posting mini-anime shorts and mid-episode clips all season — dropped a new one called "Yani-neko's Relatable Moments, I Wanna Say," and true to the show's usual move, it's not really one scene. It's a splice of several already-notorious character bits from across the season, cut together and set to a parody of the show's own ending theme, "Nothing Much," playing under the whole thing like a music-video wrap-up of everyone's worst behavior.

That's the top comment out of 1,370, and it's not close — the housemate nicknamed Kansai gets singled out early and often. But the reel moves fast between bits, and the comment section splits its attention across all of them rather than sitting on any one joke for long. One recurring favorite: a moment where Yani-neko starts sniffing at something, drawn with the exact deadpan focus of an actual cat catching a scent.

Right after that, the reel cuts to a callback the comments recognize instantly: a housemate suddenly snapping into what the thread keeps calling "seppuku mode," the same over-the-top despair spiral the show's landlord character is already known for. And in the middle of it, the joke isn't really about the housemate at all — it's about Yani-neko's total silence.

By the time the reel gets through four or five of these back to back, a chunk of the comment section stops laughing at the individual bits and starts laughing at the video's own premise — that any of this counts as "relatable" to begin with. One line in particular got singled out for how the official channel chose to caption it, which a lot of commenters treated as the real punchline of the whole short.

The reel ends the way it started, on the parody theme song rather than a punchline, and it's there — not in any of the louder bits — that the thread's mood shifts from ribbing the show to just admiring it.

For a video the comment section spent the whole thread insisting doesn't earn its own title, that's a strange note to end on — a cast that supposedly has nothing relatable about it, going quiet for its own theme song, and somehow that's the moment nobody in the thread wanted to make fun of.
