While the horror-themed segments of the Hospital, Newspaper Agency and Hotel batsu games, Matsumoto's haunted hotel batsu game (especially the creepy spirit photos that the 'ghost expert' gives to Matsumoto) and Yamasaki's haunted school concert batsu game are obviously all Played for Laughs, some moments in particular could be used as this.Nightmare Fuel : Some of the Squicks can fall in this area.When this is the case, it is most likely it fell flat because its just plainly not funny due to cultural differences. Narm: Some of the acts presented in the batsu, while really funny to the hosts, are really not all that funny to foreign audiences.Most Wonderful Sound: To the audience, the forfeit sound that plays in a few batsu games, most notably the No-Laughing specials.It's especially glaring as Transformers in Japan tends to be geared towards a younger audience, as is the usual practice when the robots are self-aware as opposed to piloted mecha. Misaimed Marketing: Taking the cake for the weirdest Crossover merchandise of all time - remolds of Emissary and Cerebro, the head of Fortress Maximus from The Transformers: Titans Return, so that Cerebro has two heads that resemble caricatures of Matsumoto and Hamada, while Cerebro's head form is the handler from the No Laughing batsu events.The twist here is that Hosei gets to nominate the next person to carry out the Ice Bucket challenge - and get a Thai Kick. Memetic Mutation: The 2014 No Laughing Challenge has its own take on the Ice Bucket challenge - by having the Muay Thai practitioner dump ice on the victim (in this case, Hosei) before doing the Thai Kick as usual.In a true Laser-Guided Karma style, the hand that threw the pie so that the fragments landed on Hamada was. In the last punishment, Hamada inadvertently gets some of the pie on him and went fuming. The games that have pie launching as punishment.Downtown generally fall behind before resorting to dirty (also hilarious) tactics and using their influence to steal the game. A more recently aired segment, hosted by Yamasaki, has Downtown, Coq Au Rico and two other comedy duos competing against each other to win a prize of some sort. Magnificent Bastard : Or rather, bastard s.The gym batsu game format makes a return for a portion of the 2010 Spy, 2013 Earth Defense Force, 2014 Prison, 2015 Detective, and 2016 Science Lab No-Laughing batsu games, again without Matsumoto participating in them for various reasons. Hilarious in Hindsight : In the 2007 No-Laughing Hospital batsu game, Tanaka wonders whether the cast would be able to redo the 2000 batsu game where they (with the exception of Matsumoto) spent 24 hours dodging attackers in a gym he is immediately shot down by the others, with aging and so on being cited.Shin-Onii gets a lot of love from the fans, though the actor playing him actually appeared before the character did.And in the Airport Batsu, they brought Endo's real family, with her mother telling Endo, in front of everyone else, about the time she found a porn magazine, and to get married again to his new girlfriend as its been 4 years since his relationship with Chiaki ended.Some would argue that the continue cameos of Chiaki for the Batsu games count as this for Endo.

though some may argue that the line-crossing came even earlier in that batsu game. It's even humourously pointed out in the song and the cast at the end of the 2009 Hotel Man batsu game that Oshima of Morisanchuu making an appearance pretty much in the nude might've reached this sort of level. Hamada has used these sort of motivations to drive his more extreme Jerkass or Comedic Sociopathy moments however, and some scenes in the batsu games count to the extent that even the cast sound somewhat appalled. Crosses the Line Twice: Occasionally - not as often as one might think, and it tends to be funny enough when it happens.Artifact Title: Since around the early 2010s, the annual "No Laughing" batsu games are still billed as taking place over 24 hours, when the final segments clearly finish before dawn of the following day (possibly a good three to four hours before the game started).You can find subbed content by hovering over the dropdown menu at the top of this subreddit.
