Out of sheer luck, and man was this lucky, I popped home in the middle of the day today to make lunch and grab my wallet which I had mistakenly left at home in my mad rush out of the house this morning. I turned on Ellen, which I've seen maybe once before ever, and she showed a clip from this Japanese talk show which loosely translates to "Human Tetris." Basically there are shapes and you have to try to fit through them. I have tears in my eyes from watching clips of this on YouTube. Do the groups at the end really, I mean, REALLY think they are going to get through the shapes? I would pay all the money in the world to see a show like this in the United States. With C-List stars. Oh that would be magical.




I have tears streaming down my face. What a happy, silly way to start the day. Thanks Sloan for that!
this made my friday. cannot stop laughing. must watch more youtube clips...
This. is. awesome.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one! Ok, that does it. Friday from now on "Silly Game Show Day!" Open to everyone. Bring it!
Funny funny stuff. Laughing a bit too hard at work. Them wacky Japanese.
The guy not wearing the hood and the guy with the fake oversized glasses (both on the red team) are bonafide A-Listers in Japan. They're a comdey duo, and the show is their show. The rest of the participants are younger comedians, with the exception of the guy in black. He's a PA who got forced into participating. The fact that celebrities do these types of shows is what makes Japanese TV so great, IMO.
