The entire joke is that a kid bug inherits a biting shop and has to learn the family trade, played completely straight. It commits to the absurdity without winking at the camera, which is where the real comedy lives. The show trusts you to find it funny that a tenth-generation bottom-biting insect takes his apprenticeship seriously. This is the kind of premise that either makes you immediately get it or makes you wonder what you're watching, and there is no middle ground. For the people it clicks with, that commitment to pointless sincerity is everything.

Oshiri Kajiri Mushi XVIII is a ten-year-old bug whose family runs a Biting Shop, and he is set to become its next owner. To prepare for taking over the business, he enrolls at Biting School. The show is a gag comedy delivered in 20 short episodes, and it draws its jokes from a young insect whose future depends on the peculiar family trade of biting bottoms.
