The Quiz Show: You're a terrible person! Your life is in ruins! Jai ho!
The Quiz Show
He's an amnesiac TV host on the brink of insanity. His producer knows something he's not telling. Together, shameful secrets between two half-crazy nutjobs careening to complete psychological meltdowns!
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire...
... if Regis Philbin could see inside your soul.
The questions start innocently enough, but then get uncomfortably personal. "How much is your debt?" "When did you start scamming your customers?" The host does nothing but smile. Constantly. As he rips apart your life for the entire audience to see. "Who were you sleeping with the night your boyfriend died? :D :D :D"
If you can make it to the end, after each ugly, wretched truth is forced from the deepest recesses of your mind, you'll get a happy celebration of prize money and studio streamers... popping all over your broken, pitiful form sobbing in the contestant's seat.
Welcome to The Quiz Show!
Where all your dreams can come true... until the questions start.
And the panic rises...
And your delightful host is utterly relentless.
He's MC Tazaki, whose gleeful insanity is outdone only by his frizz.
Little does the audience know, when the show is over, Tazaki is escorted back to his room in a locked asylum, where he spends his time screaming to the bare walls and shuddering in the fetal position.
Oh yeah. The picture of mental health.
Tazaki's only visitor is the quiz show producer, Yamanobe. The more Tazaki suffers, the more he likes it, which means you'll feel really guilty when you see these:
HE'S PSYCHO. HE ENJOYS PAIN AND MISERY. HE... ARE YOU LISTENING? HEY.
I, uh, have bigger images if anyone wants them. What? I'm a dedicated screencapper.
Yamanobe likes to play mindgames with his loveslave captive, and if his gazes are a little hot where Tazaki's shirt rides up, well. I'm sure it's just our imagination.
I mean, they're not broadcasting anything.
I do this with my straight friends all the time!
And it's not like the entire show is just a convenient vehicle for their personal demons and mental breakdowns... oh wait.
Subtle...
Secrets! Anguish! Because Tazaki doesn't just mock the contestants, he utterly deconstructs them. If you're familiar with Japanese variety TV, picture every snarky host you've ever seen, then imagine a show where the guests have their faces devoured at the end.
AND IT ONLY GETS MORE TWISTED. Sometimes the rug is yanked from under you, but more often you can see the trauma coming from a mile away -- I think that's actually what the drama wanted, to make you watch the train slowly derail and spectacularly crash.
All in all, a cheerful drama with a great message for the grandkids:
