The Japanese are not only mad, they’re double hard so & so’s a swell as this game show proves: Ninja Warrior.
Those of you in the UK can pick it up on Challenge TV where the undead Stuart Hall provides classic commentary reminiscent of It’s a Knockout from your dim & distant youth. In this clip Mr Octopus enters his 6th tournament never having got past the first stage – can he make it this time? If you catch the full programme you’ll see some genuinely fit people climbing sheer ledges supported only by their fingertips and such like: it’s enough to make me go to the kitchen for another beer……

I kinda feel sorry for this guy. Such a strong desire “to become a ninja” on his age is either a first sign of senility or a desperate marketing move for his business.Whichever it is- it’s pitiful.
Have you watched Human Tetris?
Another crazy awesome show. lol
It’s also on YouTube.
Poor Mr Octopus….
Somehow it reminds me on Shitoshi Castle (I do not remember the name much, sorry, but was something like that). It was a great fun to watch:-). People there went against walls (some of them were from paper and some from wood, but you never knew until you hit it:-)), some balls were thrown at them and so… As I think about it, maybe it was cruel fun…
I do not know what is this saying about Japanese. Maybe that they can make fun of them selves and definitely that they aren’t afraid of pain
Crazy!
Takeshi’s Castle! Quality program
Thanks to Veronica who is responsible for my laugh when I was watching Human Tetris
. It’s a fantastic show 
. The Ninja Warrior is good, but Human Tetris is much better in my opinion. A must-see!
