May 19 (newsonjapan.com) - As everyone, Japanese citizens watch Netflix series and sports events.
There they can bet on m.22bet.ug/mobile/. But they also have some strange TV shows that have high ratings. Here are 5 weirdest of them you should definitely watch.
AKBingo!
The hosts of the show AKBingo! are members of a popular music band. Once a week, the girls host guests, quizzes, and mini-competitions like relay races. But Japanese TV wouldn't be itself if it ended there. The girls are made to suffer. Literally.
Here's a recipe for the perfect Japanese show: girls dig in the trash, eat cicadas, or shove paper tubes up their noses and try not to sneeze.
Marshmallow Rubber Band
This Japanese show ceases to be playful and innocent, as participants are in for some hilarious physical misery. It first appeared on Japanese television in 1989.
Participants must catch marshmallows suspended from strings with their mouths at speed, while a rubber band holds their heads down.
Candy or Not Candy
In this game show, participants are asked to bite various objects. The fun part is that some of them are made of chocolate and other confectionery materials. Thee National Association of Dentists of Japan had a hand in this show because they get more customers after every episode.
Strip the Girl
This Japanese game is for the strong in spirit and extremely horny men. Overcoming in the throes of the "thorny" and slippery way up, the uncle-Japanese must throw a bag of beans at the numbered tiles, which cover the naked model. More hits, more nudity. What won't these people do to satisfy their needs?
Takeshi Castle
The Takeshi Castle program is a classic that has been copied in various countries. Participants storm Takeshi Castle. Their path is blocked by harsh challenges: rappelling down a river on cups, rock falls, crossing swamps, and seas of mud. The players are beaten, tortured, and strangled so that by the end of the program only a couple of contestants remain.
Gaki no Tsukai
In the reality show Gaki no Tsukai, 5 comedians try hard not to laugh. You can get a stick up your butt for doing so. While one member of the team is acting out a sketch, the others sit in a secret room and try not to burst with laughter. If they can't, a team of masked men burst in and start heartily beating whoever can't hold back a smile. The coldest person in the show gets a cash prize.
See for yourself what happens when a Japanese man tries to pronounce the name of the American state of Massachusetts. Would you be able to hold back a laugh?
