Japanese game shows never fail to bring the weird and wacky fun.
The Japanese are known for their weird game shows. Contestants are put through a lot, and props include anything from insects to guillotines. It seems the more outlandish and potentially fatal the game is, the better.

One game show, whose name translates loosely to "Slippery Stairs", involves four contestants dressed in knock-off Power Rangers outfits sliding around in a pit before struggling up a flight of stairs on all-fours.
When one person falls down, they take the other three with them! The spectators are going to be waiting a very long time to see who the winner is...
But the absolute joy on their faces shows that they are having a very good time watching the contestants slip and slide around.
