It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Gaku no Tsukai “No Laughing” Batsu game, a New Year’s eve special made by Japanese comedians. I saw the “No laughing spy” (aired on the New Year’s eve of 2010-2011) recently and wanted to share this happiness.

For those of you who haven’t heard about this: the comedians that lost a bet (not shown, but aired before) have to reside for 24 hours in a setting where they are confronted with strange situations designed to make them laugh. Each time they laugh, “punishers” come out to hit them on the buttocks with an object.

The situations are often funny, sometimes not so, sometimes hilarious, but the thing I like the most is when the comedians make each other laugh (and often themselves too), resulting in even more punishment.

The “No laughing spy” broadcast is almost 5 hours long. It is split up in “episodes” of 30 minutes, so you do not have to watch it all in one run (I did). Hope you enjoy!
