I love to laugh. I don’t know about you, but YouTube is a great way to find game shows from Asia! They’re those kind of videos that you can’t help but show all your friends and type “LOL”…and actually laugh out loud! So I hope you enjoy my collection of Crazy, Weird and Funny Game Shows.

“Human Tetris” – I’m sure you’ve heard or seen this already. Technically it’s not tetris, it’s basically a wall coming at a person with a shape/hole in it. The goal of the game is to get through the shape in any way possible. Even Ellen Degeneres tried something like this on her show!

Library Game Show – What’s the number one thing you can’t do in a library? Make a lot of noise! Imagine a game where you have to contain your laughter due to insane acts of torture (as in practical-joke kind of torture). And imagine you were picked to be tortured because some card said so! Yeah, it’s really hard to stay silent in a library.

Takeshi’s Castle – I’m not sure if this is still on Spike TV or not, but it’s a hilarious game show with hilarious commentary from…well, hilarious hosts! Just think of ‘Wipeout: Japan version’ and you have Takeshi’s Castle!

Marshmallow Game – Yet again, Ellen did something like this on her show–both videos are equally as funny! You’re trying to grab a marshmallow with your mouth…but there’s a twist!

Flash Mob – Okay, so I don’t think this is a game show…but it’s hilarious! Just watch.

That’s it folks! I know there’s a TON more, but I’m sure you can find them on your own 🙂 And if you have a lot of time, you should find some videos with the most ridiculous/stupid game show answers ever (Japan game shows AND North America). It’ll keep you entertained for hours!
