I'm watchinga Japanese show on Amazon called Documental where 10 Japanese comedians are locked into a room where they're competing for 10 million yen. If they laugh, they get kicked out. So the whole show has been someone doing something funny and then reaction shots that look just like the Tom meme.

Holy poo poo are those the Gaki no Tsukai guys? If they made an entire show out of the don't laugh challenge, television has been perfected.

Personally, I like the "if you answer wrong, a lever flips up and hits you in the nuts" games they do.

Only Matsumoto, the other four guys are not part of Documental. That said, you will see some familiar faces if you know the show.
The first season was kinda weak to me, specially because the format had some big flaws that some of the comedians abused: namely that the rules of the game kinda rewarded being passive and fading into the background. A comedian who was being daring and "aggressive" would at the same time often put himself in a situation where he'd laugh or smirk... and meanwhile you had a couple of the guys just wait without hardly participating at all until the show was almost over. The two biggest examples of this were in my opinion Fujimoto -who is extremely aggressive and constantly tried to create funny situations both for him and the rest of the cast, but really can't hold a straight face- and that bald guy who... well, did something with a fake knife once and got to the end. It would be a little like if they kicked Matsumoto out of the new year's batsu game ten minutes in: of course if you follow the rules to the letter it is a well deserved thing, but it makes for really poor content to keep only the boring comedians on the show. Thankfully they realized the problem was there and on the second season they added a new rule to try and avoid this and the game clearly improved a lot.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If you're watching Season 1, the bit at the end with the guy standing on the table..doing a thing...left me in stitches. The end of season 2 is amazing as well, for entirely different reasons. Trying not to spoil anything. It was nice to see Matsumoto enjoying himself, he's seemed a little bored/disinterested in the yearly No Laughing Batsu the last few years.

poo poo I forgot about that. Wasn't there a video from his kid that was all sentimental and sweet (it was during those "show no reaction" challenges) and then his kid ended it with "TANAKAAAA... THAI KICK!"

The Earth Defense Force Year-end Batsu game. That's probably my favorite...although the one where Endo gets called out on all of his creepy/horny bullshit in front of his parents and ex-wife, "The Trial of Endo Shozo", is a close second.

I'm about to finish season 2. It's way better since it fixed the first season's flaw. Doesn't look like they're continuing since it came out a couple years ago.

I wonder how well the concept would carry on over in the States but we don't do slapstick vaudeville anymore. I could see the Jackass crew having done this maybe 15 years ago.

I need a meme, but can't recall if its the one with the butterfly or what.

The captions were something like:

*Me*

*Someone expressing any interest in a relationship with me*

Me: "Are you depressed?/Do you need therapy/is this a cry for help?/Are you drunk?"

Matsumoto also has a show called Freeze on Amazon Japan..the trailer for it is on YouTube...where the comedians have to freeze at certain times and not react, no matter what is happening around them or TO them, or they're out.

i think that video disturbed me more than any other shock video i have seen.

I was smart enough to have dodged most of the worst, but I have a vague memory of finding jar guy at some point here and just.... that's one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen or heard.

To the point that a few years later, i kind of wondered if it was a nightmare I made up

and then a year or two ago, i saw it mentioned again in a thread and it alllll cammmmme baccckkkk

I never saw 1G1J and I'm glad to keep it that way. I think I was a little older when the shock image/video craze went around and people would send you links like "oh man you gotta see this it's loving disgusting", and I was like "yeah actually I don't, thanks though".

Anyway, memes.
