Ping Ponging For Yen

Or, ‘Those Wacky Japanese Gameshows’.

I don’t post links here very often, but today I make an exception. This must be some kind of Japanese game show, but I can’t really understand what’s going on aside from the fact that everyone seems to be enjoying themselves immensely. Can anyone out there translate this and explain it to me? I’m just dying to know what these clips are for. My favorite, and the one I keep watching over and over again, is the one with the two guys playing ping pong.

I’m in awe of the ‘Super High Jump’.

Anywaste, since I’m so busy right now with Wedding Stuff and actual work-type stuff, I’m sorry to say that these short and quick posts will continue for the foreseeable future. I can’t see me returning to my ‘normal’ schedule until October, but if you bear with me and stick around I promise that I’ll be funny again then. No, really I will. Don’t give me that look, and don’t try the old, ‘You were funny?’ line either. I was funny once. Once.

Oh, stop rolling your eyes like that, they’ll just fall out.

  4. I believe it is this show known in english as “Human Art Show”… where people compete using their persons as art for 200 thou yen or something like that. Kinda like the gong show, but different. Good stuff.
