Japanese Game shows

Sign in to disble this ad
Who else loves watching them bring the pain? Spike has made a killing with the MXC dubs, but some of the stuff on YouTube just kills me.

My favorite from YouTube: a game show where the consequence for a wrong answer is a nut smacking machine.

I think the thing that really appeals to me about Japanese game shows is the fact that I can't understand what the hell is going on.

Somebody is screaming while a lizard runs around in a cage. The host is yelling (presumably questions or insults) while the crowd is going ape****. Suddenly a guy falls down a hole or gets lilt on fire or gets hit in the nuts. I laugh because of the physical humor mostly.

I love that they do stuff that we could never get away with here, and just what people there will subject themselves to for money.

EDIT: This one is also good. The water is really hot, and the bucket at the end is full of ice

That's MXC- always good for a laugh, but really tame compared to some of the others.

If that was tame, I shudder to think what the others are like.

MXC is (was?) one of my guilty pleasures and one of the few shows that my kids (both teens) will watch with me.

MXC is brilliant. "I see that you all have your helmets on, those keep you from getting knocked out. But who here brought a condom? Those keep out from getting knocked up."

London Boots had a game show (kind of) called "The Stinger", where these J-Pop singers in a J-Pop group would try to lure chicks to hook up with them back at their apartment where their boyfriend would be waiting for them. I swear. These chicks were smoking hot. Nothing sexier than a shamed smoking hot Japanese chick. The would get down on their knees and bow to their dude. Even writing about it I get a big grin on my face. Beautiful.

I prefer the original version - Takeshi's Castle - compared to MXC.

My wife saw me cracking up to MXC once and she just didn't get it. Takeshi's Castle was a program that was on when she was a little kid in the seventies.
