This actually looks like a parody of "Crayon Shin-chan". The episode was titled "めんどくさい", which is Shikamaru's catchphrase.

Talk about lazy...

you'd figure he would conjure up the perfect way to fetch the remote

like my mom :D

even with the crow bar, HE FAILED!!
His prediction skills loose to bad habits

not a crowbar, it's a hand=shaped stick designed to scratch your back, making it easier to reach some spots.

So very clumsy for a ninja......

Blame television.
