Typically, the routine involves the boke ("foolish man") doing or saying something foolish or idiotic and the tsukkomi hits them with the harisen as a form of punishment. The harisen became a popular tool in such comedies due to it's ability to make a loud noise upon contact but leave little damage or pain upon the "victim".
