			==Etymology==
			The Japanese name for this technique, ぼけ ''boke'', is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai Manzai], a form of traditional Japanese comedy which involves there being two comedic performers.

			One of these two performers is the "boke", who acts foolish and/or says ridiculous things (similar to the "funny man" in Western double comedy acts). The other performer is the one delivering the "tsukkomi" to the boke's tomfoolery - which basically involves making funny commentary on the boke's behavior, or correcting their outrageous statements (similar to playing the "straight man" in Western comedy routines) - this generally leads to more confusion and/or stupidity from the boke, leading to additional opportunities for tsukkomi until the manzai act ends.

			The skill [[Sobering Slap]] is called "tsukkomi" in Japanese, so it could be seen as a counterpart to this ability.

			==Trivia==
			In Japanese, the ability's name is written in hiragana in [[Dragon Quest VII]], whereas it is written in katakana in [[Dragon Quest IX]] and [[Dragon Quest X\|X]]. This may be due to the fact that Pratfall in VII is a [[Jester]] skill, whereas Pratfall in IX and X is a [[List of litheness skills in Dragon Quest IX\|Litheness skill]].
