Kansai-ben is usually associated with Osaka, who are stereotypically more easy-going and "jolly" compared to the more uptight Kantojins. It's not that the dialect itself is a source of laughter, but that the person able to speak it is supposed to be a funny person.


Of course, Kyoto-ben is a bit more dignified than most Japanese dialects.
