Safe for work, but maybe not your eardrums. Damn, those girls can scream.
That poor lizard.
Yeah.
Archie Bunker did the whole "meathead" thing years before the japanese
Shit like this makes me want to visit Japan. In 15 years, I expect to see the same gag with hello kitty robots instead of girls, hydrogen fuel packs instead of pork chops and an aibo robot dog instead of lizards.
I posted this last night in the other Japanese game show post.
Gosh, I was really entertained seeing children being terrified.
The best (or worst) thing about Japanese TV is that you don't need to know what they're saying to sense the utter craziness of it all.
Sorry, InsolentChimp, I didn't know that.
I play fair, so let's consider half the comments in this post as belonging to me and the other half to you, okay?
Dibs on Chyren!
RATS LIZARDS HAVE RIGHTS!!!
and I thank you.
Wait, who won?
I wish I was a millionaire mafia boss, so I could punish traitors using this method. No escape option, though.
No worries about the post, Nick. But, you always get first pick! I'll take petebest.
Wait, does this mean that my comments are yours and your comments are mine?
The thing I don't understand about this-
-okay, there are LOTS of things I don't understand about this. But's let's just accept the premise that sometimes people get into weird whack-a-mole-like stockades where immature Komodo dragons can try to eat their faces. Let's take that as given and move on.
The part I STILL don't understand is this:
Why is there, clearly visible against the back wall of the room from about 1:17, a giant Santa Claus head *with a four-foot-long tongue*?

He gives you a licking if you've been naughty. Don't you know the rules?
isn't that when we've been naughty?
Can I ask for a replay? I just missed it.
I don't suppose at this stage it would do any good to withdraw the question...
...isn't that when we've been naughty?
You're not really that familiar with Japanese game shows are you, petebest?
As if it wasn't weird enough, it needed to have that giant Santa head just to make it that much wackier. Thanks for pointing that out, Stan. I think there was a decorated Christmas tree behind some of the other girls earlier on. That somehow makes it easier to understand. ?
Also - I didn't even notice that it was pork chops they were wearing on their heads. I just thought it was some weird headpiece thing.
I guess it could have been christmas.
Which kind of makes sense, after all, my family ties New York steaks to our elbows in order to bait raccoons on Christmas Eve, maybe the Japanese have a similar, but wackily misguided, variant?
Good Lord... I didn't notice the pork chops.
Perhaps Santa is just hungry for pork chops.
MonkeyFilter: Good Lord... I didn't notice the pork chops.
I wonder what you get if you win?
I think not having your face eaten off the front of your head by a big lizard is its own reward.
I never imagined that there'd be a game show ripped-off of John Hurt's torture scene in 1984.
But I'm not a producer for Japanese tv, obv.
I've got to get me one of those meat hats.
My guess is that was just another kind of moniter lizard, Stan The Bat. There are pet shops here in American where you can get 'em that big (at which point I believe their diet partially consists of baby rabbits).
I would very much like to shake the hand of the person who came up with this idea.
>There are pet shops here in American where you can get 'em that big (at which point I believe their diet partially consists of baby rabbits).
Can you also purchase a harness which will allow you to wear the baby rabbit on your head?
Arrrgh. Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country. (France) My Google-fu fails me, I can't locate a video anywhere else... anyone? Onegai?
As for screaming, they're not members of Morning Musume the J-Pop band for nothing.
Saw this the other day, was waiting for someone to post it here. Very funny. They're the same girls watching Ringu, actually. It's morning musume the all girl J-pop group.
The monitor lizard is harmless, but I suspect they told the girls it was a vicious komodo dragon that would inflict gangrene-causing bacterial wounds - that would be quite in line with the sadistic undercurrent of japanese entertainment!!
Very funny stuff. I love Japanese entertainment tv.
I predict pork chop visors will be this years "it" accessory for all thoroughly modern Millies.
