Choi Hong Man In A Tight Spot

The object of this Japanese gameshow is pretty simple: squeeze through the hole in the moving wall, or be pushed into the water. This episode was a battle between the blue team (featuring Eiji Wentz) and the red team (featuring South Korean K-1 figher Choi Hong Man):

Video 1 (Game rules explained + Wentz attempts a very difficult wall)

Video 2 (Stretch and jump!)

Video 3 (At over 7 feet tall and 352 pounds, Choi Hong Man might be a bit too large for this game…)

[note: Breaking the wall in half counts as passing, since he wasn't pushed into the water!]

Video 4 (A few more challenges)

Video 5 (The final round!)

And the winner is: Choi Hong Man’s red team!

*sigh* All we get on American TV are celebrities living together. Where is the US version of this where Vanilla Ice must negotiate a moving wall?

The other two guys on the red team are the popular comedy team Tunnels Yes, one of them is Takaaki Ishibashi, who is also co-hosts Utaban.

Oh, the show is: Tunnels no minasan no okagedeshita….I think

I was disappointed to see this because Korea has copied the idea down to the last detail for its early Saturday SBS variety show. The only difference is that some celebrities dress in costumes (Mozart, Princess, Cockroach) to do this. I really thought the Koreans had done something original.

Disappointed again.

Watched it twice and it’s still hilarious. And it has to come from Japan.
