And You Thought American TV Was Bad PDF Print E-mail
by Sam Merten    Wed, Nov 14, 2007, 01:37 PM

It’s hard to imagine that even though this clip is more than 20 years old, some American TV executive didn’t get their hands on this and bring the concept to the U.S.

I mean, c’mon. It doesn’t get much better than guys dressed in ridiculous outfits playing soccer while wearing binoculars, does it? Throw in someone wearing a freaky animal head and it’s almost too much to handle.

I’m guessing the man dressed in black wearing the whistle is famous Japanese actor and comedian Takeshi Kitano.

This is two minutes and 17 seconds you’ll never get back.

With the screen writer strike we might start seeing more stuff like this in the U.S.!

I used to go to Tokyo once or twice a year from 1985 to 1997, and loved watching the game shows. They have hundreds of them, and every one is as crazy as that one. There was another game show where the contestants had to answer questions correctly. If they didn't, a hammer on a spring mechanism came out of the floor and hit them between the legs. The audience howled.
