Contestants must say the tongue twister or suffer the consequences. This is actually a variety show :) by the name of "down town" (written in katakana) it is apparently quite popular in Japan.

1. I saw that one

that is some serious pain. Did you even the one where they make them sit on blocks of ice and drink water and the last one to pee wins....

[Benfea]

2. Gah!

No, I haven't seen that one.

8. Do -NOT- Important -Japanese-Pop-Culture

Just put it down and walk away.

But I have to say that was funny as hell. Nut shots translates into any language.

10. Like they said on The Simpsons

Your shows reward knowledge; we punish ignorance

[Mojambo]

11. We SO need that here.

They had that show Distraction, which I thought was pretty funny, but we definitely need to follow the Japanese lead.

12. They showed that on Countdown..

...My eyes were watering in sympathy, and I'm a girl. I can't imagine doing something like that here. Of course, I never thought American TV would do 'Fear Factor' either. :shrug:
