Animals vs. Dominoes
A Japanese TV show sees if certain animals can navigate their way to a bowl of food without knocking down some dominoes (first part of the clip is missing, but you still get to see which animal is victorious):
A note to those coming to this page from external links: This is not from a “game show.” Almost every wacky clip you see on the internet that comes from Japanese TV isn’t from a “game show” either. Please get that through your head.
This is just a variety TV show that performed a few experiments with animals.

I wonder what the logistics would be like to have a pet armadillo…?

Ok, now I ‘m confused. What would you call watching animals to see which one would knock down dominoes fastest/best? You see, where I’m from that is called a game– a game in show format. Game. Show. Surely you wouldn’t call this reality tv, or a soap opera, or a panel show, or a dramatization.
“Please get that through your head.” Even though you did use the magic word, please don’t tell me what to do.

This isn’t a game. There are no prizes. It was just a few minutes of a longer variety TV program about cute animals, which also did not involve competition for prizes.
They were just having some fun to see what types of animals could walk to their food bowl without knocking down dominoes. You’ll note that the turtle, which knocked over the dominoes anyway, ate its food. The winner received no special prize.
Actually, so-called “reality TV” shows that air in other countries are much more like game shows than this clip.
As an Asian, I can confirm the fact that the shows are marketed to us as variety shows, not game shows. Game shows do in fact require some form of human participation (like Wheel of Fortune etc). These variety shows do various different experiments that they think the audience will enjoy, ranging from food to – like the above clip – animals. The clip was not a demonstration of a competition

I love Tamanduas!
Wow! Didn’t know dominoes could be so controversial.
Are those
* white dots surrounded by black tile?
* Or black tile with white spots?
Opps, that would be a quiz show. Can quiz shows have animal panelists?
Would they get more laughs than Japanese comedians?
Taking in the fact that the animal handler would have to be paid. Would the cost of the animal panelists exceed the salary of the Japanese comedians?

At first I was like “What the hell is this?” then at the end I was cringing a reacting with the audience when the armadillo nearly hit the dominoes. haha
