oh, how deliciously fucked it is that due to their nature of the kind of characters they are, the matsunos process love through violence. they are deeply unsettled when people arent violent with them because it's all they've ever really known. it may be a gag anime to us, they may know they're gag characters. but the injuries they face are very real to them and everyone else in the cast. Sure, they can die and be violent for the bit thanks to that. since they're gag manga cahracters, who cares if they get hurt?
except, that really starts to go down the gutter when you think about the fact that osomatsu san does acknowledge the injuries and sicknesses are actually fucked up. they do have consequences, pretty severe ones at that, even if the show can play it as rather silly. its just nobody cares about the matsunos or what happens to them except each other. take for example, season 2's end. they did actually die in one of the most horrific ways possible, played completely straight. a plane crash into their house. death was instant. it was actually very serious, but even then … the ppl they knew didnt actually miss them, they just fought over who should be the show's new focus. the family were happy to be rid of their 'financial burdens'.
they say this kind of treatment is okay because they're gag characters, but it's not really. not to everyone else who faces the same things with far heavier seriousness and consequences, like Homura who tried to commit suicide, or when Matsuzou became deathly, deathly ill, or everything about Takahashi Nozomi or the flower fairy.
the matsunos are an exception to this respect and seriousness because nobody values their lives, not even themselves. they process love through violence because it's all they've ever known. They all know how much of a cosmic joke their lives are.
