Possibly, but I really don't know. Like, if I were going to go to a party or something, I wouldn't walk into a store and out of all of the outfits, pick up the schoolgirl one. And at least within my circle of friends, no one is homophobic, but they'd all still just kind of be like "Dude, why are you dressed like a girl?" I can't imagine the life of the party being the guy who shows up dressed like a chick. But I don't know.
As far as seeing it on Japanese TV, I guess if that's what Japanese people find funny then that's okay. Unfortunately this comedy falls into the "beating a dead horse" category for me. Even if I found crossdressing shenanigans funny in the first place, it would have gotten old by now simply because of how much they show it on TV, like eating food and such.
