Your favorite wacky Japanese game show?

[derby378]

I'm watching I Survived a Japanese Gameshow right now, with excerpts from the show Majite. So what's your favorite game show from Japan other than Sasuke (Ninja Warrior) or Muscle Ranking (Unbeatable Banzuke)?

I've seen excerpts from a lot of these shows, and I have a soft spot for the show that made giggling high school girls wear pork chops on their heads while some big lizard tried to eat the pork chops. Don't know the name of the show, but that's television.

1. Oh God, the pork chop one is hysterical!

I don't know the name of it either, but I just crack up every time I see that clip! :rofl:

5. Iron Chef... hands down

you can keep all that techno-porn and human degradation shit

6. "Techno-porn?"

I agree that some of the game shows were fairly degrading - I dare you to watch an episode of Super Jockey sometime. That's pretty fucked up even by Japanese TV standards.

I adore Captain Nagano, so I can choose no other show!

9. Have you seen Levi Neewenberg's performance in Season 20?

If not, you really must check him out. It's the first time that an American has advanced so far in Ninja Warrior, but I'll let you discover the details on your own.

Neewenberg is a free-runner from Michigan, and the man is like Neo from The Matrix at times in terms of the "wow" factor.

10. OOOOOOOOOOOOO -- no, I haven't!
