Japanese Terebi Game Shows 3
by Steve West on October 21, 2007
Operation: Make Amy Laugh. Another (and probably last) collection of wacky game show clips from television in Japan. Clockwork Creampuff; Painful Eliminations; Tricycling Idiots; and Treadmill Hurdles. They're pretty outrageous and sometimes downright stupid. Some I just don't get at all but laugh anyway.

Fixed broken link. Funny that the one I found funniest was the clock hands into the cream pie show. And boulder guy cracked me up too.

Well, the creampuff clock was amusing, too... I think I just forgot about it after the two boulder guy. Please do keep them coming... ;-)

Let Loose The Pigeons!
I got a phone call today from my Service Coordinator of Prince George's County officially welcoming me and my daughter, Olivia, into the Autism Waiver program - a state funded program intended for families with an autistic child offering funds for state approved services such as Aqua therapy, Occupational community trips, Speech therapy and even respite for Brenda and I. This has been a nine year wait since getting a diagnosis for Olivia at age 2. The waiting list is horrific. Go »Stuff Happening
Brenda and I have placed a bid on a little house in Bowie about a mile from where we currently reside. It keeps the children in the same school district and keeps us in the little town we've grown to love. Closing is set for a month from now on Friday of Labor day weekend so it gives us three days to move furniture and settle in. Go »If It's Human Waste, Save Some For Me

Thanks for the thought, Steve... Results: a few quarter-smiles and a chuckle and a half -- one from the guy hit by two boulders and the half from treadmill hurdles (which is a broken link, btw... but to slake my thirst for a laugh, I looked it up). I'm not sure why two boulders guy was the funniest -- it looked an awful lot like "hit 'em when they're down"... which I guess is an awful lot funnier on a Japanese game show than in real life.
Sometimes, I try to imagine Americans having these kinds of shows and what they'd be saying... I can't help but wonder how much funnier it might be if I knew Japanese. Similarly, I wonder if the MXC narrations are true translations or just some Americans doing it MST 3000 style... I think it's the latter, but with those ridiculous robes that the hosts wear... one can never tell...
