Just Like (a) Human

I made a comment on the PayPerPost forums recently, mentioning that all the good stuff to watch is all in Japan.

It might be because the rules binding television there aren’t as stupid as they are here in the United States.
For example, here in the states, I extremely doubt that they would ever air some of the comedy shows or game shows they air in Japan. I present one of my favorite examples, Hard Gay.

Here in America, it seems that they are slowly getting over their fear of the word “Gay”, with such (boring) shows as “Queer Eye”, but there’s no real humor in American makeover shows.

Hard Gay is definitely not a makeover show. The content is (mostly) safe enough to be viewed, though there is one questionable shot taken in Hard Gay - Ramen that you can tell was not really meant to be anything.

There’s also Gaki no Tsukai, which seems to be mostly based on a punishment game. If you laugh at the defined subject (be it a butchered English video, or at Karaoke), you are punished.

I suggest watching.
