Ten ten one! Ten ten two!
Downtown's Gaki No Tsukai Ya Arahende!! is a Japanese variety show hosted by the two very popular japanese owarai duos, Downtown (consisting of Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada), Cocorico (consisting of Naoki Tanaka and Shouzo Endo), and comedian Hosei Yamazaki.
Probably the best known Gaki episodes are those dealing with batsu geemu, or punishment games, which one or more of the cast must undergo after losing a major game or physical challenge. The best-known Batsu Games include one in which the entire cast (except Hamada) are sent to 'school' for a day, during which various absurd things happen and the cast are punished for laughing; a game set at a "haunted" ryokan, at which Matsumoto must spend the night; and an infamous 24-hour Batsu Game in which the cast (minus Matsumoto) are locked in a sports arena and subject to being chased by "demons" at random moments.
English Lesson
This segment, part of the longer school Batsu Game, is perhaps the best known outside of Japan. The cast sits in a classroom watching a T.V. What they watch is a Japanese man reading an English article about Marco Polo, counting in English and saying all the days of the week in English. The reader, himself another comedian, pretends to be utterly bewildered by the English language and makes embarrassing mistakes. The objective of the game is for the cast to refrain from laughing; each time they do, a masked person comes in and hits their behind with a shinai. The video of this can be viewed at youtube.com
