  Tokyo Thursday - Swartzenegger Burts From A Woman's Head
I know you're double checking your watch (assuming you have one of those fancy ones that tell you the day of the week). Yes, today is Wednesday, but I'm not sure if I'll get the chance to update tom morrow. If you don't like it, just close your eyes and not open until about 24 hours from now.

Anyway, here's a commercial the Governor of California did in Japan for a sports drink.

  Tokyo Thursday - Tires
This week we take a look at an advertisement for tires. The commercial is completely in Japanese, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. All you really need to know is a son is asking his dad to use the car, and promising to be responsible.

  Tokyo Thursday - Laugh at a Fat Cat
Watch as an obese feline is taunted and laughed at on Japanese television:



This cat weighs in at 26.5 pounds. Poor cat can't even scratch himself. I'm on my way to overfeed my hamster now so I can get on TV too.

  Tokyo Thursday - Shhhhh 2
Here we have another exciting installment of everyone's favorite game show that takes place in a library.

As you know the concept is simple: Before each round cards are drawn, whoever gets the skull card gets a prank played on them. But remember, be quiet!

  Tokyo Thursday: At the ATM
Here's a clip from Japan that is not a game show at all, how about that. Here we have a comedic sketch involving going to the ATM. It contains a Brain Age joke, so, I mean really, it has to be great!

  Tokyo Thursday: Baseball Catching
In this game show contestants must catch baseballs to score points. Of course it's not quite as simple as it sounds.

  Tokyo Thursday: Human Shapes
This might possibly be the most ridiculous video featured here on cheesegod.com yet, and that's saying a lot. This video was described on youtube by it's poster as "Human Tetris" and that's about as accurate as you can probably get. Enjoy!

  Tokyo Thursday - Spare Me My Life
Ever wish you could learn the English to use in case you are attacked? And ever wish that English could be taught through some kind of weird music/exercise video?
Well, then, here you go:

  Tokyo Thursdays - Wax
So here we have a game show with wax. Since this video already contains commentary in English I won't bother.
Enjoy!

  Tokyo Thursdays - Baseball in Japan
This is pretty crazy. Not sure how even to describe this one. I guess baseball in Japan must involve even more injuries than here in the US.

  Tokyo Thursday - Aliens & Magic Eye
I'm not really sure why they call these game shows in Japan. Their doesn't seem to be any way to actually win... or any rules even.

Here we have three pranks played on normal everyday folk. An alien breaking through steps, a water squirting microphone, and something (perhaps yet another alien) breaking through one of those magic eye things.



Is it me, or is the alien in the beginning of the clip the same one as from Kid's Quest, nice to see he's still getting work.

  Tokyo Thursdays: Shhhhhh!
In this week's addition of Tokyo Thursday, we take a look at a Japanese game show where a group of six guys get weird pranks played on them. The twist? The pranks all happen in a library so they must keep quiet!



We need a channel that reruns these shows in America. I'd watch that thing all day. Oh yeah, Old Man Bites Tenderly!

  Japan Uses Robot Security

In Japan, Sohgo Security Services Co. has introduced robot security guards for the mall. Sounds like a good idea, they probably be ineffective, have difficulty moving, and be a complete joke, just like real mall security. So we might as well go through with it,What could possibly go wrong?
