Watch Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai Online

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.

Enjoy and if you have any sources to share please comment below or share it in the Facebook page.

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 in Yugawara (2004)

In a Russian Roulette style game involving sushi, Yamasaki, Tanaka, and Hamada lost and were punished in the second spa-themed no-laughing batsu game, filmed at Yugawara, Kanagawa. A riding crop was the punishment device employed. Matsumoto and Endo joined the game half-way as “The Mad Brothers.” This batsu game features Endō’s luchador character Dynamite Shikoku.

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)

Japanese Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

Japanese Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

You may or may not have heard these words before, and you may or may not know what they mean. Transitive means that something is being done by someone (or something). AKA, transitive verbs are the ones that you (or someone/something else) has direct influence on. When beginning to learn a language, transitive forms are used since most people talk about things they do/ are doing or things other people are doing. Examples of transitive verbs are: I opened the door, I returned the boy home, I made the cat disappear.

Intransitive means that something happens/ed on it’s own. For example, the door opened, the boy returns home, the cat disappears.

In Japanese, transitive verbs use the particle を with the action (verb) following the particle, and what is being affected by the verb before the particle. For example, when you say that you eat a banana, the banana is what is being affected by the verb, so therefore it proceeds the particle and the verb to eat follows the particle. Some people have a hard time with the verb 紹介します (しょうかいします) where the person you are introducing (to someone) follows the を particle and the person you are introducing someone TO follows the particle に because they are having something done TO them (similar to something being given TO someone with the verbs あげます).

Intransitive verbs use the particle が because there is only a subject and an outcome (verb), so basically something happened. Hajimeru 始める vs hajimaru 始まる (to begin [something] vs. [something] began), I have remembered that hajimaru is the intransitive verb which uses GA because I connected the MA to being similar to GA. Also, “I woke up” would be intransitive because it automatically happened, versus “I woke someone up” which would be transitive because you are doing an action.

I may come back to this article in the future and add some more insights once I formally learn about transitive and intransitive verbs, but for now this will do I think ^_^

I suggest you check out my Japanese Verb Conjugation post lesson here, for more on the Japanese language.

Rice Cooker Dutch Baby

Rice Cooker Dutch Baby

A few weeks ago when one of our friends was leaving for Winter vacation, we decided to go to a pancake restaurant that also had dutch babies. Here are some pictures of the display dutch babies as well as the ones my friend and I ordered. They were a bit thin, and they used mozzarella cheese which did not taste good with it. I also prefer to eat my dutch babies with ketchup, like an American ^_^ but they gave me honey. And my friends dutch baby was a salad, so she got dressing.

This morning I woke up with the idea and the motivation to use our rice cooker to make a dutch baby. It was a little bit difficult because our rice cooker kept on switching to keep warm, and I did have to flip it, but overall it came out good and was totally worth the effort ^_^ It may not look absolutely beautiful, but it tastes like a dutch baby should, thick and fluffy ^_^ Maybe we will make these with our friend when she returns so that she can taste what a real dutch baby is like ^_^ I also melted some cheddar cheese on top and ate it with ketchup and sriracha sauce ^_^ I can barely tell right now that I am in Japan and not in America ^_^ Life is good ^_^

The recipe and directions are as follows:

7 eggs, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 2 TBSP of butter, cheddar cheese. First I whisked the eggs, then added the milk and vanilla and whisked some more. Then I added the cinnamon and flour a little bit at a time while whisking. At home I would use a blender, but this time I just used a fork. Lots of whisking ^_^ I then melted 2 TBSP of butter in the rice cooker and once it was melted, I swirled it around to coat the pan a bit, then poured some of the batter in. I did not want to pour all of it in case it rose a lot and also to make sure it would be able to cook fully, so about half, but I honestly (accidentally) poured a bit more than half, but it still turned out alright ^_^ I would say that it still took about an hour to cook which is about how long it takes in an oven in America, but it depends on your rice cooker I guess. Just keep checking on it, and flip it if and when it needs, and after flipping it, you can put some cheddar cheese on the top to melt ^_^
