View Full Version : BEST. GAME. SHOW. EVER. Death Rabbit Sun, 17th Sep '06, 7:49pm Yet another reason why Japan rules. The object of this game show is to say tongue-twisters really fast...or face the consequences. http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/2006/09/youtube_of_the__11.html zerox Sun, 17th Sep '06, 7:56pm Just what do they have mounted on the end of that swing arm? Death Rabbit Sun, 17th Sep '06, 8:13pm Just a wide piece of metal, it looks like. Designed to soften the damage, I would assume (to decrease the likelyhood of causing permenant damage). I'm sure it still hurts plenty, though. :D Death Rabbit Thu, 28th Sep '06, 8:51pm I'm surprised so few people have commented on this. This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. :( JSBB Thu, 28th Sep '06, 8:54pm I saw it, said Ouch! and then laughed, e-mailed the link to most of my family and friends but didn't really comment on it as there really isn't much meaningful to say. The Japanese do seem to like their masochistic game shows. Bahir the Red Thu, 28th Sep '06, 8:59pm LOL!!! That was great! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That dude in red was really funny, even though I didn't understand a word he was saying. Fabius Maximus Fri, 29th Sep '06, 1:03am The Japanese do seem to like their masochistic game shows.I think it stems from the tradition of harsh punishments for slight failures. The guy in the red kimono is funnny, though. :D The Shaman Fri, 29th Sep '06, 2:48am Ouch... kinda mean. Dunno how much they're paying them, but I'm not sure I would have gone on that contraption. Reminds me of the "2 stupid dogs" and the helm that shocked you every time you didn't get the alphabet right :D . Barmy Army Fri, 29th Sep '06, 3:19pm Toilet humour :p Triactus Sun, 1st Oct '06, 7:01pm Haha, that was so Hilarious! :D I think there was an adaptation of this (England, I think). I've seen a TV show called Distraction, where the participants must answer question under pressure. I've seen one where there's the two finalists. And each time one of them had a right answer, the other would be shot by a paint gun (and they had no protective gear... :p ). And to put the icing on the cake, the guy who finally wo the paintgun challenge won a brand new car for being the show's champion. However, he had a final challenge. Everytime he had a wrong answer to the last five questions, they would smash a part of his car with a sledgehammer..
