Another weirdly funny Japanese game show


This one seems to revolve around the principle that contestants have to climb a flight of stairs - which has been liberally coated with a very slippery substance - to 'rescue' some 'victims' trapped in a 'fire'. The first video clip shows how they go about it.







The second clip shows the hosts (and others) at the top of the stairs, bombarding the 'rescuers' as they try to climb up!







Looks like a good - albeit painful - time was had by all . . .

Must be a cultural rite of some sort. I wonder if we can build a whole season around something as serious as this: Get Your Footing, and maybe have Charley Sheen participate. :)

Seriously, if I learned a little Japanese, I wonder if I could earn a living as a "crazy gaijin" by going on those shows...
