What the routine is

Cornflakes is the first of the two routines Milk Boy performed in the final of the M-1 Grand Prix 2019 (competition history, in Japanese) — “an annual Manzai competition planned by Shinsuke Shimada and run by Yoshimoto Kogyo” (M-1 Grand Prix, Wikipedia). Manzai is the two-person stage form the competition exists for; its working vocabulary — boke, tsukkomi, furi, ochi — is set out on the pattern index.
