" staring japanese comedians Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada (known as the comedy duo DOWNTOWN) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaki_no_tsukai <- Good wikipedia article. Unfortuantely Wikipedia has started a war against linking to YouTube video's as sources for information as well as examples. So I'll have to provide some of them here. In order from the article http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fr_57oH1kA <- Part of the the 24 hour Batsu Game "No laughing at the Onsen" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGKj_eYbBkQ <- English Class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-1aaGf0sw <- Silent Library (guest star, K-1 champion Ernesto Hoost) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUaNN3VfQ0E <- 7 Henge (Laugh, and donate 1000 yen to charity) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sj4yM5pW24 <- Chinko Machine (previously posted, minus the Break.com logo.)
