Ello there Peeps.
Growing up one of my favourite things to do was watch Leon Schuster doing his candid camera skits and generally making an absolute fool of perfect strangers. Of course candid camera and prank camera shows have been around for ages. Whether you live in the US or even Japan, we all have our own versions and candid celebs.
As always I’m obsessed with the whole Japan thing, probably because they do everything with an extra pinch of “wtf” and “hows-did-they-not-get-sued”.
NEVER get caught on a Japanese prank show…they show no mercy, no matter who you are or where you come from, unless you work for the yakuza or the government that is.
I’ve seen shows where unless you answer a series of questions correctly, your partner gets shot out into a canyon with firework rockets blasting from your feet, not to mention that in most cases the hapless flying fellow also loses his undies…quite a sight, and totally hilarious.
Another gag which I love is when they scare the living hell out of people by bursting suddenly out of TV screens,walls,floors…well,basically anything you can squeeze somebody into. The funny thing is it’s not just young fit-of-heart people that they scare but old people who can barely walk…ok a gag is a gag but the sheer terror in their eyes is just sometimes beyond belief.
In the video I’ve attached, there’s a priceless Japanese prank where they go to the mountains in winter and eject people into the snow with nothing but a miniature towel. The idea is to get them into what they think is a luxurious day spa with tea and comfy chairs and just when they get settled, blast them backwards through a fake wall into the freezing snow…ok that is bloody funny, but man, I think I’d kill them with my bare hands afterwards. If you watch the entire video, you see people getting blaster through the wall on their lazy boy chairs whilst leaving a trail of sparks and smoke…ok I’d pay good money to see that for real, but can you say HECTIC.
I hope you enjoy the clip.
Peace out…and beware
PS: The pic I used is actually a Japanese Police Doll…thought it was appropriate for demonstrating more of their insanity…lets scare kids.
