Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai

I’m such a huge fan of Team Gaki and there off shoot shows they’ve done I’m placing everything in here that I find. Things change quickly and a lot of the material gets moved and sadly deleted. Some in the past have done 24 hour streaming of all their New Years events and other shows they’ve done in the past. I was fortunate enough to have watched one of these shows in real time in Japan while I was living and going to school there.

So this is here to show my support for one of the craziest game shows I’ve ever seen. When I first saw I thought it was ridiculous and hated it. 5 minutes later it was my favorite thing in the world. That’s Japanese comedy for you.

GAKI NO TSUKAI SILENT LIBRARY (2009)

In Silent Library, the cast and a sixth member, usually Heipo, are in a staged library in which one of them has to undergo a punishment upon choosing the card with the skull and crossbones on it (similar to Russian roulette). Although the game requires that they remain silent during the entire segment, the members repeatedly let out bursts of muffled laughter that is loud enough for the occupants of the library to hear. An example of punishments are being “Outwitted” (having a nose hair pulled from the nostril), “Nose Fishing” (a metal clamp attached to the inside of both nostrils being pulled), and “Hot Earmuffs” (boiled earmuffs put on both ears). Former K-1 champion Ernesto Hoost once made a special appearance, as well as writer and film director Koki Mitani.This segment was adapted into an American game show, called Silent Library. The international version of the show is referred to as Fist of Zen. It debuted on MTV on June 15, 2009.

No-Laughing Newspaper Agency (2008)

For the second time around, all five members of the regular cast took part in the annual punishment game. This year the chosen setting was a newspaper agency. The members had to go to a number of mock press conferences dressed as journalists. Endo’s ex-wife Chiaki made a guest appearance in a conference about her “new husband.” In keeping with the theme of the punishment game, giant latex pencils were used to strike anyone who had been declared OUT.

No-Laughing Hospital (2007)

For this special, Downtown, Yamasaki, and Coq au Rico all took part of the most infamous punishment game — and they were forced to cross-dress as nurses for this one. Yamasaki, who had just completed a hospital stay after being treated for enteritis, was permitted to take some absences during the game. Among the famous guests who performed here were Sonny Chiba, Masahiro Chono and many other comedy duos in Japan. As a side note, it was during this game that the record at the time for most punishment-strikes ever inflicted was set, with Hitoshi Matsumoto having received a total of 259 of them.

No-Laughing Police Station (2006)

This batsu game premiered as a three-hour special. The losing players were Yamasaki, Hamada, and Endō, who lost at a Russian Roulette style game using large tubs suspended from the studio ceiling, and cutting loose the one’s that fell, thus earning them a spot in the Batsu Game. Matsumoto and Tanaka avoided the batsu, and later appeared in the game, visiting the three punished players. The hang-men were especially rough when giving discipline to offenders.

No-Laughing Hot Spring Inn (2003)

The first No-Laughing Batsu Game, shot in Yamanashi, it served as the punishment for Matsumoto, Yamasaki, Endō, and Tanaka, for losing to Hamada in a 4 vs. 1 bowling match (which aired on May 18, 2003). Getting caught laughing during this game resulted in having a dart from a blow-gun shot into the buttocks. Given the newness of the concept, this punishment game was carried out in a somewhat “primitive” way: the Watchers were more lenient with enforcing the rule, and the auto sound blared rough over the sound-system that was set up through the facility.

Matsumoto Haunted Hotel (2001)

After Matsumoto loses a swimming match (match aired on Feb. 11, 2001) against the other four cast members, a batsu game is set at a “haunted ryokan”, where Matsumoto must remain overnight. He endures ghost apparitions, a seemingly empty samurai suit that comes alive, and random knocks on walls, among other things. The other four cast members attend to support him in controlling his fear, but end up scaring him as well.

24-Hour Tag / Onigokko (2000)

A batsu game that took place over the period of 24 hours where all the cast, except Matsumoto, are locked in a sports arena, playing “tag” with various Oni (demons) (who, here,—except for two or three instances {that were on film},—were men dressed in full-body black suits) that were “summoned” to attack at random moments, each with a specific type of punishment written on the suit to be inflicted whenever the victims were tagged. This batsu game is the result of Matsumoto winning the race against the four others in “Gaki no tsukai – 4 tai 1 100m sou Taiketsu!” (on Oct.17, 1999)
