Endurance the Japanese Gameshow

[GreySB1]

aaah! tarrent on tv, old school

[PungiFungi]

As they said in The Simpsons: American game shows rewards knowledge, Japanese game shows punishes ignorance.

[shikato7777]

a hidden common secret behind these shows is making Japanese people more durable by using entertainment way which also entertaining the viewers, instead of the military procedures... 

[thersten]

suffering makes the audience laugh. weird.

[Riyell]

@thersten Perhaps the audience are sadistis? O: <

[Fiorinasulaco]

Remember seeing this back in the day. There was one where a contestant was in a bull ring tied to a plank sort of like a crucifix, he is under the impression that a bull is about to be set loose on him and instead someone starts chasing him with a shopping cart. I would like to see this clip again, anyone have it? xD

[mickeybee]

"THE GAMAN" great legendaly TV program

[RussianCommissar]

[robotpanda77]

[dhieyhav88]

@robotpanda77 no this is not the most extreme game show search the game show called how to be a ninja

[dionepon]

4:30 isnt that bad, Where do i sign up?

[soysauceinferno]

OOHHHH DAMMMMM haha the worst event i remember seeing was the one where they stood on their heads in like a desert, and had magnifying glasses on their nipples while getting sand poured down their pants................... terrible hahahahahah

[dalaranman]

i feel sorry for the fimalists but it was a good show of torture

[bobthesmasher]

Wasn't there one where they had to hold a block of ice between their feet until it fell on their balls? Yikes!

[kohyadofu]

I remember it will be decided 1st prize and happyend after that.

This was the competition of 5 famous universities in Japan early 1980s,so these competitors may be the exectives of a famous company like Toyota,Sony, and so on.

I was a child when I watched it,so I didn't want to enter one of these universities. However;when I became 18,I was too stupid to enter one of them anyway.

[ihavemydignity]

ouch... lol

[supertst]

japanese are famous for self torture

[AB5309]

[umpalumpa2oo7]

[nonlethalbychoice]

[NetaInHell]

You're right, that's why they were replaced with fake foam bricks right before the show started.

[StFidjnr]

3:09 oh boy cue the music.

[StFidjnr]

1:18 that tune means only one thing

[StFidjnr]

[phatacat]

[solidoxygen]

that brick one was scary

[zeo99]

damn

[Soccer6614]

its a cultural thing plus they wern't forced to do this.

[sestoft]

psychotic! but o well they volunteered XD

[jaskamakkara]

lemme say this straight who the fuck do u americans think u are to drop bombs and kill everyone without reason i mean u like come up with all kinda rules for the whole world and u fucking don't follow it urself i mean that's just so fucking retarded i can't get over it CAN'T GET OVER IT!

[dirtbagdarrell2008]

Thats why we're the boss and get to make up the rules. That's who the fuck we are. Now can you get over it.

[rumpraisin]

You have to drop bombs from a great height because it seems like you're not very good at fighting on the ground. You tried to boss the Vietnamese around with your big expensive weapons, but they beat you with bare feet and homemade guns. It looks like you're losing in Iraq as well. Perhaps you should get a new boss.

[gillyssquashball]

dude it looks like you are french, if thats the case I wouldnt exasctly be bagging any other country about their ground fightign ability...

[rumpraisin]

I'm not French. Try again.

[gillyssquashball]

So you are just a liar then?

[rumpraisin]

I might tell a lie every now and then, but I'm not lying about not being French.

[sestoft]

You think you have so much power? Well yes you are the most powerful nation but the problem is: If you should get the urge to actually do something that would piss off the UN or even just EU then you'd be in such deep shit that you'll choke in it. You only have power to a certain degree so don't think too highly of yourself. Even you have to obey the rules.

[LtCheese]

It was either that or a full fledged American invasion of Japan-which would've predicted to cost at least 2 million American soldier's lives alone. Imagine how much higher it would've been for the Japanese, not to mention the destruction across Japan. They're incredible fighters and willing to die to the last man. Although I think we could've done more before having to resort to the bomb, sadly, even the bomb is better than having millions and millions die when they didn't deserve it.

[hurryingfred]

I will agree that there wasn't a better option than dropping the bomb, but I don't see why we had to immediately drop a second one. I'm sure Emperor Hirohito would have surrendered after the first bomb.

[hurryingfred]

LOL at the human experiment part. Where are you posting from? North Korea? But I don't think many people would deny that the US could have eventually won, it just would have required more death than the A bombs brought. Those Japanese soldiers had no intention of surrendering anytime soon. Island hopping was hell and it was just the beginning.

[destroychineseempire]

@LtCheese , your point is wrong. The best way to avoid losing American soldiers' and Japanese lives was for the US to discard the unconditional surrender claim and to stop invasion into Japan. Saying "We could not avoid dropping A-bombs in order to save lives" is just like a bank robber saying, "I used this bomb, because you were reluctant to give your money. You guys are to blame for making me use this!" Got it?

[stratobuc]

@destroychineseempire Totally incorrect - and typical revisionist history.

[destroychineseempire]

@stratobuc , easy believers in what their school teachers say often refuse anything against what they have been taught as a revisionist history. Stick to the facts not illusions.

[gillyssquashball]

Im pretty sure they did worse things then you see here though.

[BlueBomber88]

This is so messed up. I freaking love it. It's a shame I'll never see this gameshow on TV, though.

[gillyssquashball]

Haha one of them has a hugh stiffy!

[rumpraisin]

Then you must be sick too.

[Cosmicalex13]

Not sick, its real as u can see and some of us find the humor in it, it is a game show.

[squeesie]

anyone seen the english version of this with paul ross as the host???

[TGJennie]

hes called Chris Tarrent, this is him ALOT younger, but he invented the who wants to be a millionaire TV show

[TGGeko]

I like having the english narrator

[SechMolinari]

Never get tired of Endurance. Fuckin hilarious (and twisted)!

[namehisname]

Japanese ppl just really dont know when to stop....

[rumpraisin]

That's why they dropped 2 nuclear bombs on them.

[zzztopzzz]

That's why you deserved to be killed by atomic bombs. I hope you will be burnt in hell forever and ever because you said that innocent children and old men and women were killed by the heat 3000 degee and radiation. You will pay for your cruelty. Ugly and stinky low life like you is doomed to shit pool.

[rumpraisin]

Calm down.You misunderstand.I never said the people of Nagasaki and Hiroshima deserved to be killed by atomic bombs. The USA justified (do they still?)the dropping of 2 bombs by saying that it was the only way to get the Japanese to surrender, and end WWII. That is what we in the West are lead to believe.

[gillyssquashball]

They did desereve it.

Jsut ask any of their POWs or the peopel in asia they slaughtered.

[rumpraisin]

Did the Germans deserve it too?

[gillyssquashball]

The germans were sensible enough to surrender.

You think the japanese would have thought twice about dropping nukes if they had them?

[rumpraisin]

The Germans were working on making a nuclear bomb as well, so they would have used it. I'm sure the Japanese Generals, or any other General hell bent on victory would use nuclear bombs.

[gillyssquashball]

Working on is a loose term, but yes I am sure they would have.

[rumpraisin]

What is the tight term?

[gillyssquashball]

They were harldy racing to make nukes champ. Hitler showed little interest in it and saw it as jew science.

[rumpraisin]

It's no wonder the Japanese were renound for their extreme cruelty towards prisoners of war when you see what they are capable of doing on a TV game show.

[Cosmicalex13]

I knew there was something fishy about them

[rumpraisin]

Yeah, they like fish, especially sushi.

[R5TheLive]

Oh for crying out loud...

[zzztopzzz]

rumpraisin, hahaha, what can you french, who killed, tortured, punished, confiscated and persecuted vietnamese, africans and many other nations in your cruel colonial history, say about Japanese extreme cruelty? Are you joking? hahaha.

[rumpraisin]

I ain't French, and even if I was, I and my ancestors wouldn't necessarily have been responsible for what happened in French colonies.

[billclinton]

your ancestors sure would have been rumpraisin

[sestoft]

Seriously these guys volunteered for this. There is a huge difference between volunteering and being held captive. It's called masochism and even if they weren't masochists these competitors they would still love the price money.

[FraterO]

sadistic fun!

[rjbride]

How did you upload it?

[rjbride]

Thats my video!I uploaded it months ago

[oukamichan]

yaaay! downtown won the first game!

[supercarlton]

[Rofflemywaffle]

Holy shit. o_O

[jay4nax]
