For Your Finals Viewing Pleasure
Posted on January 26th, 2009 by Mr. Eldridge
From Steven Jones:
After Mr. E mentioned how the only other people who watch more TV than Americans are the Japanese, I looked for these clips. My theory as to why they watch so much TV (besides Mr. E’s more work = more TV watching theory) is based on crazy Japanese game shows. Below are a few that I have found. Don’t be shocked if you find Sean-like antics.
A few of the clips are from an old Japanese game show that has been dubbed into English as MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) for American enjoyment. Huzzah for Japanese contestants willing to do anything to get on television and not sue!!!

ahaha, ethan you are totally right. even the faces they make are the same as sean & ed.
and as for the second video with the contortionists: that looks like it could be extremely painful.

haha wow those were entertaining
that first one was art
I can definitely see Sean and Ed doing that
I don’t understand why whenever someone ate it in the third video, they always came up smiling…or maybe it was a grimace of pain…yeah that makes more sense

anyways Japan looks like an awesome place to visit
except maybe for the insane pranks they pull on people…
like rising toilets and snowmobile spa chairs…

Hahaha, Japanese game shows are completely insane, I still have no idea how they come up with all these ideas. I guess when you work as hard as the Japanese, you become as crazy as them too. Finals week is just a taste of the craziness, but at least we’ll all get an excuse to indulge in insane youtube clips.
Anyways, if these aren’t distracting enough while you’re trying to do your journal/book review/extra credit/studying, here’s some of my favorites:

Wow…..not only the faces look like Sean and Ed, but the hair is a near perfect match!
And I love how in the boulder dash game, the guy gets pummeled in the head and sandwiched and the other people are laughing uncontrollably at him.
