And you thought the Americans were nuts

I don’t know if it’s because it’s in a library or the bad English (check out Round Three:’bad smell air’), this show had me crying with laughter.

I wish there was an American version of this. I would watch it everyday, EVERYDAY!!

Update: This show is called Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende and the games are a mixture of batsu/punishment games, and ‘no laughing’ (or rather, no loud laughing in this case) games.

God, I love ‘no laughing’ games. Too bad I laugh too easily.

    I remember seeing this very bit! I believe it aired on a “men’s” cable channel called SpikeTV – they had a show that was entirely made up of clips from Japanese gameshows. There were lots of people going through all sorts of torturous obstacle courses – but this, THIS was the section that REALLY had us crying with laughter.

    Thanks for linking to the clip. Made it an even better way to wake up on a Friday morning.
