So it seems Fox have bought the rights to this show and are going to be showing it in the Fall. I think its going to be an enormous hit - was in Britian - and for all those that dont like it it's going to be unbearable. This is one of those fad shows - every annoying teen will be running around screaming "BANZAI!!!" at the top of their lungs.

What is it mrbungle,a game show of some sort.....never heard of it?
I'm sure this used to be shown on TNT during the commercial breaks for Movies on a saturday night. It had things like two people jousting in supermarket trolly's and you had to bet on who would win

Don't know any Britians so haven't heard of it before.
With any luck, some annoying teens will scream that as they go by a Pacific War veterans house and he'll soon take care of them :wink:
Basically the show is a bunch of camp-Asian actors who pretend to be ninjas and other highly stereotypical Japanese things - very gimmicky and kitsch. The premise is that little skits or sketches are shown that are entirely ridiculous - like how long can Mr Shakey Hand Man shake Barry Manilows hand for, or who will get the most tapioca into their underpants, or how many men will look at a woman's breasts in an elevator - and then they offer you 4 choices and you bet on it. It's seen by alot of college students as a drinking game. It is funny, often down-right hilarious, but it really grates after about 3 shows.
I agree with you there mrb, it's really hilariuos at first but after you've seen a couple of shows it becomes well, tedious.
Do ya really think Americans will 'get it' and take to it? Hmm...
