オモロすぎ

• 読み: オモロすぎ
• ローマ字: omoro sugi
• 発音: /o.mo.ɾo.sɯ.ɡi/

意味

Too funny — an intensified expression for when something is hilariously funny, widely used in online reactions and casual conversation.

オモロすぎ is built from おもろい, the Kansai-dialect contraction of おもしろい (interesting/funny), trimmed to its stem おもろ and combined with すぎ (too much). The katakana spelling オモロ adds visual punch on social media and emphasizes the slang feel. Originally a hallmark of Kansai comedy culture, it crossed regional boundaries as manzai comedians dominated national TV. Online, it became the default reaction to anything hilarious — memes, fails, unexpected punchlines.

例文

1. この動画オモロすぎて電車で声出た。
2. 友達の言い間違いがオモロすぎて腹痛い。
3. オモロすぎん？さっきからずっと笑ってる。
