Nearly impossible game show challenge

September 26th, 2008 by James

I believe the point of this Haneru no Tobira challenge was to swing onto a the conveyor belt, grab a flotation device, and then use the flotation device to grab a rope, which one could then use to swing onto the goal platform:

That looks amazingly fun. I wish theme parks were like this.

i dont think its impossible. you dont even need the “flotation device.” just jump from the conveyor belt to the rope. then you should have enough momentum to swing to the platform.

It’s a guy, but for a reason I forgot he is always dressed like that while he hosts that show.

“It’s a guy, but for a reason I forgot he is always dressed like that while he hosts that show.”

And what reason does he have to dress like a woman??

I was beginning to dispair that you’d stopped posting Haneru no Tobira

I don’t know why, but for some reason I really enjoyed watching this kind of game show while I was in Japan.
Here in Germany the only thing we’ve got is Takeshi’s castle though, and the translation is just stupid.

Oh yeah, who’s that guy that wears womens clothes? :)

I suspect that the Haneru stunts on this “All-Star” segment are purposely over-the-top to mock the other celebrity-driven variety/stunt shows. That’s why all the guests are dressed up like celebrities. Compare this to their bug games, which are difficult but not impossible. By contrast, I rarely see a single winner in the All-Star segments.
