Not a game show, but unmissable: Arnold Schwarzenegger exploding out of a girl's head

Holy crap... that second link is nightmare inducing!

I dubbed them 'meat visors' since the meat didn't cover the top of the head.

I wonder what cut you'd need to have a full-coverage meat hat.

(Reply) (Thread)

These folks can probably tell you.

I see occasional bits of google video'd Japanese weirdness floating out of my cutup generator but trying to watch it live on television here is just too depressing with my mediocre Japanese! Did anyone tape, what I think was the "God of Entertainment" guys on New Years Day taking turns eating the dumplings full of wasabi, cockroaches, dry flour, etc etc until one of them found the one full of Anko? I could do with seeing that again.

May already be passe'. Unfortunately, I can't find the one where Hard Gay is humping the back of the salariman's head.

Truly Little Britain has jumped its shark.

There is of course watching The Ring, two clips with drinking alcohol and screaming, a trip through a horror house (that's not as cool as you'd hope), fun in amusement parks (the second one followed by "electrocution"), fun with roosters and a magic trick

Wow, those were about as entertaining as watching a teenager's home movies (aka "the rest of video.google.com"). Bring back the lizard.

... wtf is wrong with japan?

I think they're doing it on purpose. Their TV exec just sit around thinking about ways to freak out the rest of the world.

Just to let you know... the girls in the first two clips (Morning Musume) are a sing&dance crew. Sort of... Japanese Menudo, but instead of kicking members out and ending their lives/careers, members "graduate" onto solo careers...

It's a genius enterprise they have going.

Among the other COPIOUS amounts of TV coverage these girls get they has this segment where another girl in a different group (Ayaka Kimura of Coconuts Musume is Hawaiian which goes some distance to explain why her English is so clear) on the same label teaches them phrases in English. Some of them are really hilarious. There's something like 170 different lessons if you want to look for them, but here's two.

I would have a lot more to say... but really nobody cares but me.

Japanese girls vs eels, then one poor (lucky?) naked Japanese girl vs pigs. Looks like it's on Morning Misume, too.

I'm pretty sure this is an ad for porn, sadly. Google "soft on demand", which was in the background at one point.

I was under the impression Para Para was dead....apparently not.. Japanese line dancing...oigh...I thought this was dumb when I first saw it a Anime Expo a few years back... I still think it is dumb now.

Dear JWZ people,

please stop exploring the internet's sexuality, It really freaks us out.

signed,
the people who noticed the sex-toy gladiator match involving a 7-pound dildo and didn't mention it.

Wow, it's kinda like Blood of Heroes, but in a high school yard.

The "Giant Black Man" is Pro Wrestler and K-1 fighter Bob Sapp.

He's pretty popular in Japan for his goofy ways and such. Not much of a fighter though...

this is old news, and not a game show, but tokyo breakfast never stops being an uncomfortably hilarious freakshow.

"Morning Musume all have meat strapped to their heads! It really feels like Christmas now!"

One of my favorites is this one where various Japanese girls slap each other.

Haw haw, their culture is different.

(Reply) (Thread)

Dude, this goes so far beyond "A different culture."

A different culture is "Wow, they wear red at a wedding"

Putting a meat hat on a pop singer, then siccing a komodo dragon on her ass is a kind of screwed up that we can't approach as just a basic cultural difference.

I've begun compiling a list of Japanese WTF.

Natch, it's not entirely work-safe.

Clicky

Japanese Up-skirt footage taken by a guy who strapped a camera to a cyooty-wooty widdle doggie's collar. kawaii!

How come nobody mentioned Shingo Mama no oHa?

Someone on my friends page linked to this a long time ago. Everyone is happy to link to the weird and prurient Japanese videos but what about the up-tempo, happy, cross-dressing, uniformed fun fests?

Now, I know the cynics on JWZ's list won't buy my assertion that our culture would be well served by an injection of Japanese cuteness and levity, but I ask you all to ponder one simple question: could American television ever come up with something this frivolous?

The answer is "no" and the reason is that despite our insistance that we have liberated ourselves, the Puritans and Calvanists still have us by the balls.
