HAT TRICK!

Posted by: O. the U(manity) | August 07, 2006 at 11:59 AM
Wow, it appears that some Japanese humor is wicked! And not in a good way.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 07, 2006 at 12:00 PM
Sorry OtU, I messed it up.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 07, 2006 at 12:01 PM
OWWWWWW....that was painful to watch, even for this girl of the female gender!
Posted by: DimWitte | August 07, 2006 at 12:01 PM

Posted by: O. the U(manity) | August 07, 2006 at 12:04 PM
歩行それ!!
Posted by: TCK | August 07, 2006 at 12:04 PM

Posted by: pepe (also a girl) | August 07, 2006 at 12:05 PM
*snork* and OUCH!!!
I love the face on the guy in the purple...like OH MY GOD here it comes...WHACK!!
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 12:05 PM
Not a guy and I'm still tempted to block and protect that area...
Posted by: 24-aholic | August 07, 2006 at 12:06 PM
TCK: could you kindly translate that for us please? I tend to distrust babelfish now.
Posted by: pepe | August 07, 2006 at 12:06 PM
pepe: according to the google translator, that is how you spell:
WALK IT OFF!!
in japanese
Posted by: TCK | August 07, 2006 at 12:08 PM
wouldn't "walk away without it" be more appropriate for these
suckersguys?Posted by: 24-aholic | August 07, 2006 at 12:13 PM
Hung Lo No Mo
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 12:17 PM
Holy crapola... I'm with the guy in red... "You want me to say WHAT?"
Note to self: if ever invited to be a contestant on a Japanese game show of ANY variety, the correct answer is RUN LIKE THE DICKENS!!!
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 12:17 PM
this clip was shown on countdown wi/Keith Olbermann last week. its even funnier with Keith's narration. and. OWWWWWWIEEEEEEEE!
Posted by: queensbee | August 07, 2006 at 12:19 PM
i'm thinkin there was a huge pile of cash ridin on this thing
Posted by: TCK | August 07, 2006 at 12:22 PM
....Having trouble breathing here.....laughing too hard.
Sorry guys - I feel your pain (in an theoretical sort of way) but THAT was funny!
Posted by: sthnbelle | August 07, 2006 at 12:22 PM
The IT nazis won't let me see.
I think I'm glad.
Posted by: blurk | August 07, 2006 at 12:26 PM
I have the translation for what Mr. Red was saying:
"I sat there s*****ing myself."
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 12:27 PM
blurk, just this once, the IT nazis have done you a huge service. Tip them on your way out... but decline graciously if they offer to let you appear on a Japanese game show.
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 12:29 PM
blurk?? want me to e-mail ya the link? :)
hehehe
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 12:29 PM
In our elementary school, there is this 10 foot semi-flexible steel rod (simmer down, girls) that the kids can bounce on, sort of like a teeter totter. I wonder if I am the only one who looks at it and thinks "surely no boy would go anywhere near such a thing"?
Posted by: 24-aholic | August 07, 2006 at 12:31 PM
Don't you think that maybe it was a setup? That maybe the rest of the contestants wore cups and were protected from most of the hitting? It wouldn't be hard to fake pain and just watch the reaction of the poor last guy who had to wait his turn. Now THAT would be cruel....
Posted by: Syerra | August 07, 2006 at 12:31 PM
personally, i've developed a new respect for the japanese
i've seen much bigger, tougher lookin guys - guys with tattoos and leather jackets - guys that can ride the asphalt for a quarter mile after dumpin their bikes and walk away smilin - i've seen those guys reduced to a qivering, fetal-positioned jellyfish when subjected to similar treatment
Posted by: TCK | August 07, 2006 at 12:31 PM
yikes 24! that sounds painful even for girls no?
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 12:33 PM
It really is a shame we nuked the poor Japanese so hard. Just look at the after effects...
Posted by: nora | August 07, 2006 at 12:34 PM
Siouxie, keep your link. Don't even wanna think about it, let alone see it.
Posted by: blurk | August 07, 2006 at 12:35 PM
Siouxie - I have to say I'm not sure the person who created such a "toy" is stable.
Blurk, good call! Even our brave military men may feel faint after viewing it....
Posted by: 24-aholic | August 07, 2006 at 12:39 PM
I think it's ruined their BLEEPing chances.
Posted by: fivver | August 07, 2006 at 12:41 PM
Maybe even especially our brave military men.
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 12:43 PM
I wonder what kind of ratings the show gets? I mean, I couldn't even watch the clip the whole way through.
Posted by: Sallyacious | August 07, 2006 at 12:43 PM
I did :) imagining the ex up there...
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 12:46 PM
I think they're bleeping in a voice only dogs can hear now...
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 12:46 PM
Unless I missed it, no one here had yet to explicitly answer Judi's question, "Would you like to play a game?"
Allow me to answer.
No.
Posted by: Lardog88 | August 07, 2006 at 12:48 PM
From the comments, I gather that there are men who actually LET someone hit them in the...um...dangly twins.
If that's the case, they deserve everything they get.
That is all.
Posted by: blurk | August 07, 2006 at 12:50 PM
Is that second guy the guy with the slapping machine? (it's long, but the best parts start at about 4:00 and 7:40)
Posted by: Sarah J | August 07, 2006 at 12:54 PM
blurk - you are correct...
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 12:57 PM
blurk, for your benefit, and for anyone else so oppressed by their IT overlords, a brief synopsis:
Six or seven fellows, dressed in robes of various primary colors, standing on platforms with dodgy-looking apparatus mounted on the front.
Presented with a limerick in Japanese, they must read it off without error.
Contestant #1 succeeds.
Contestant #s 2-5 fail, each getting thwacked in the dangly bits with a spring-loaded whip that snaps up from the front of the platform.
Contestant #6 (Mr. Red) at some point along the way decides that he wants out. He is "persuaded" to take his place... and his thwacking.
Very very painful to watch.
The Japanese sense of humor is more inscrutable than their language, I think.
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 12:58 PM
And, I will note, judi apparently shares this sense of humor. Brrrr...
Posted by: Clean Hands | August 07, 2006 at 01:00 PM
wow...I have a last name?
isnt that one wacky game show?
I wonder what you win, a trip to the protologist?
Posted by: Chaz | August 07, 2006 at 01:00 PM
proctologist
Posted by: Chaz | August 07, 2006 at 01:00 PM
guys...you can stop crossing yer legs now...
Posted by: Siouxie | August 07, 2006 at 01:11 PM
As a guy of the male persuasion - although NOT one stupid enough to appear as a contestant on a Japanese game show - I must admit I was ROTFLMAO!
I know, I'm a sadistic [email protected]
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 07, 2006 at 01:11 PM
I sent this to my brother (also of the male gender) who has the same sophisticated sense of humor I do. He asks:
Why does the sight of other guys' getting whomped in the privates elicit such a big laugh?
Guess we're relieved it ain't us.
Exactly!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 07, 2006 at 01:26 PM
Jeff - as a gal of the female persuasion, I am right there ROTFLMAOWTRDMF with ya!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | August 07, 2006 at 01:38 PM
Oh, and Judi's Back with a BANG!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | August 07, 2006 at 01:39 PM
Noooooo!!! Not in the twig and berries!!!! The japanese are sick. and no, i can't quit crossing my legs now, yikes.
Posted by: DavetheRed | August 07, 2006 at 02:21 PM
Guess we're relieved it ain't us. LOL
Posted by: DavetheRed | August 07, 2006 at 03:03 PM
Blurk, for once, you don't want to see it.
*still wincing*
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 07, 2006 at 03:06 PM
Lardog88 -
If'n y'all will notice my FIRST post ... I said I din't wanna be in that sort of game ... very explicitly ...
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | August 07, 2006 at 03:47 PM
With the help of Google Language Tools:
Ow! その傷!
Posted by: Ernie G | August 07, 2006 at 04:31 PM
belated thanks to TCK.
this is what happens when bloglits stay half a world away.
Posted by: pepe | August 07, 2006 at 08:28 PM
Judi, you usually warn us guys of the male persuasion not to click on these sort of links. Of course, we do anyway.
Oh, and......
AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
