Japanese Variety Shows

The Japanese sure do know how to entertain you in random ways.

This is a clip from a game show or variety show. The host is dressed up as Yankumi from Gokusen. The idea is for the "class" to not laugh at the videos they are being shown on the television. If they laugh, they are punished. Their punishment is a kendo stick swat to the behind.

It doesn't look like the kendo stick wielders are being gentle or holding back at all. I would imagine that wouldn't feel too good but sometimes you just can't help but laugh regardless of what punishment happens.

Japanese Commercials

Sometimes I like to just browse through and look at foreign commercials on video sites like youtube. Some of them don't make much sense but still very entertaining. It also just shows the difference in culture when it comes to marketing products.
