Hidden Camera - Japanese Style



Japanese TV is nuts. Somehow I don't think American network lawyers would let an American show do these stunts.

OMFG!

Can I get one of these from Steelcase? I've got a few people at work who really need some new office furniture.

Love the commentary too - apparently "crash" has no equivalent in Japanese.

Ah yes...Japanese tv...gotta love it, huh? public humiliation? just one of the many things you can find on regular tv at pretty much any given moment (but the good ones are on at night!!). Though I am so disturbed by most of what we watch, this particular show was actually one of the "milder"ones!! The kind of things that you can only see on cable tv in the States or buy on dvd, we have on prime-time..especially saturdays and sundays!! My children are going to be so twisted...(going to be?!?!)!! They get a good combination of that AND things like "sponge bob squar pants" and "scooby doo", to name a few!!!
*sigh*

I should have added that I actually cracked up watching this.

That's absolutely hilarious. sometimes Japanese tv makes me cringe, but this made me giggle.

I am laughing so hard that tears are streaming down my face. This type of stuff just cracks me up. I guess I am twisted.

I often tell friends about Japanese TV. The craziest episode I remember was on Downtown Shimura-Ken. Two guys sitting with there back together blindfolded. They were asked questions and if they got it wrong, another man bent over with his butt facing their faces would move closer. It was the ultimate ass in the face show. I'm a sicko, but I couldn't stop laughing and I still laugh just thinking about it.

I totally remember that too Dawn! I think we were watching it together.
