Some time ago I saw some of these shows highlighted on Ellen and thought I would pass them along to you.
If you are tired of the Game Shows here in America, take a look at a few that are popular in Japan. (Air-E if you check out this post, let me know if you have seen these before.)
The first is a show called HUMAN TETRIS. The participant must contort their body in the shape of the oncoming target or risk falling into a pool of water.
The second is HUMAN BOWLING. In this video it appears that the man submerges himself in a pool of what maybe gelatin and then runs down a lane head first into a set of 500 bowling pins.
Last is this ridiculous marshmallow eating relay, with a rubber band around their head. Just a nice little game to play at family gatherings.

Hilarious. I’ve always enjoyed watching Japanese game shows. I guess they need this silliness as an antidote to all their formality and politeness in everyday life. Does any other nation produce silly game shows or is it just Japan?
