Thanks for introducing Martin. I agree, the two share a lot in thier style.

Okay, that is トツギー. That is a classic by Bakarizumu which earned him national attention. It's only natural that you didn't get most of the punch lines because he forms his own conjugation in that comedy, ending every phrase with ”ーノ”, creating a unique rhythm.

嫁(とつ)ぐ means "(for a woman) to marry someone".

嫁ぎーの means "She is getting married."

こくぎ = 国技 = national sport = sumo

I'm adding a video for others that might enjoy the トツギーノ.
