- CasinoJack, on 07/31/2008, -0/+29Because they'd get sued every other week for mental anguish and sexual harassment.
- oneredeye, on 07/31/2008, -0/+21Why can't we have awesome game shows like that in America?
- melonhedd, on 07/31/2008, -4/+24Stop calling it human Tetris. It is nothing like Tetris.
- josepablos, on 07/31/2008, -0/+17what is the ice for?
the water is hot? - gskill, on 07/31/2008, -0/+16I love these Japanese. Some times they do the dumbest things but it's so funny.
- pitchblack16, on 07/31/2008, -0/+16seriously, japan has all the cool game shows.
- alooha, on 07/31/2008, -1/+14I didn't know marshmallows could be used for that purpose.
- danibobanny, on 07/31/2008, -0/+12I'm surprised the "Silent Library" one with the "old man nibbles tenderly" part didn't make it. That one cracked me up.
- ehseesea, on 07/31/2008, -0/+10Sad but true.
- stinger666, on 07/31/2008, -0/+9I Survived a Japanese Gameshow would be better with more games and less reality show. Wipeout on the other hand is hilarious. It plays right before it. There's also older tv shows like MXC or Banzai.
- sinfest, on 07/31/2008, -0/+9dugg for takeshi
- jazumin80, on 07/31/2008, -0/+9Those Japanese!!! :) Hilariousness...
- robofunk, on 07/31/2008, -3/+12These aren't ***** game shows. These are just comedians, celebrities, and tarento (TV personalities) being funny on variety shows and comedy shows.
The only "game show" I saw when I was living in Japan was the Japanese version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". - sh4d0w4lk3r, on 07/31/2008, -0/+8We need a channel devoted to crazy Japanese shows...doesn't even need subtitles, I'll watch it all day.
- Shreder1, on 07/31/2008, -0/+8Yes, the water is about 50C
- wild, on 07/31/2008, -1/+8Its funny how I think American television has gone to crap with reality TV shows, and yet this stuff always entertains me.
- r00vi, on 07/31/2008, -1/+8Weird jokes, japanese style :)
- flano1, on 07/31/2008, -0/+7Takeshi's castle is the greatest TV show of all time.
- t4ll3y, on 07/31/2008, -5/+11This is why nuclear warfare is wrong. Look at the effects fallout had on japan.
- AmandaDigg, on 07/31/2008, -3/+9rofl! some classics
- nibr, on 07/31/2008, -0/+6What's that stuff (in the buckets) they keep going in after coming out of the pool?
Edit: Apparently it's ice - water is at about 50c according to above poster. - kolinkoolface2, on 07/31/2008, -2/+8you forgot about this one....

- SpiceWare, on 07/31/2008, -0/+5We do, I've been enjoying the summer series "I Survived a Japanese Gameshow" on ABC for the past 6 weeks. The 2 hour finale is next week, you can watch the prior episodes online.

- aserer511, on 07/31/2008, -5/+96 is actually the funniest...I didn't know they had africans in Japan!
- christof53, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4I like the part when he got hit in the nuts
- baseballbear, on 08/01/2008, -0/+4why not
- nobody98, on 07/31/2008, -3/+7what...the...*****....
- bigalbaboonass, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4I've got to admit I cried laughing at the football with binoculars game......brilliant. I must try that.
- mrgreenjeans, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4Enlighten us.
- djbuffnstuff, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4this is my favorite though
wacky olympics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2syyOr1gJA - 0xbaadf00d, on 07/31/2008, -3/+7Much funnier on MXC with the english commentary.
- barfnugget, on 08/01/2008, -0/+3...why?
- jmask5, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Some of those aren't game shows at all but just segments in Regular Talk shows.
- videoclipsmiami, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4Very cool!
- Pake, on 08/01/2008, -0/+3Gaki no Tsukai is such a great show. I recommend watching all their punishment games, like the 24hr gym and school special.
- hiriumi, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4American TV bores hell out of me. Spoils people's mind.
- ehseesea, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Yes, stop nuclear warfare, it makes people funny.
- sat0shi, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Unfortunately everyone commenting after you has ignored your comment. :(
Oh well, at least you speak some sense. - xthpsgodx, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2I think that show is actually called Brain Wall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Wall
- jcani, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2Agreed. Too bad MXC, on spike tv, bastardizes the show in the U.S.
- pgouy, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2Hey! Humans are an endless supply of stupidity...
- sat0shi, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2They are more like comedy shows, rather than anything resembling a game show. There is no prize to be won, they are all comedians (for the most part) doing things outrageous to get a laugh. That's why they're so damn weird. These are not your everyday people from the street competing in some crazy contest. There are SOME actual game shows out there (the one you guys have in America, I don't know what you call it over there but it's the one with all the physical challenges. I think you call it Ultimate Ninja or something like that.) but they are few and far between.
I'm just tired of the stereotype of how Japan is so wacky and crazy, when in reality it's the most boring country I've ever been to. And yes, I live here, I've lived here for longer than anywhere else in my life. I like it here, but that doesn't mean it's not boring. - djbuffnstuff, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2there needs to be a channel that plays nothing but japanese game shows. and hell, you don't even need subtitles.
- Seth024, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2I had the same problem with youtube last week.
Rebooting should solve the problem. - contradictator, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2I could watch that show all day, there's barely any culture shock (although there are moments where you notice what they seem to think of North American culture that are pretty bizarre).
- MaruLono, on 08/01/2008, -1/+3well now we need our comedians and celebrities doing stuff like this!!
