Counting On A Japanese Game Show Is A Whole Thing

Share This Post

Every day I wake up determined to find a way to make the world make a little less sense. And every so often I do a pretty good job. And then someone finds a brilliant clip from a Japanese game show that makes everything I do look positively normal by comparison.

I can’t imagine what release forms must look like for contestants on this show. “Contestant acknowledges that he/she may be caned by a man wearing a surgical mask during the course of production, and agrees not to hold the producers liable in such event.”

Guess I’ll try again tomorrow. How about a call-in gardening show featuring a cow, three Spanish onions and a hand puppet that only quotes from REO Speedwagon songs?
