Having spent a little time in Japan, I can say that their idea of "entertainment", especially when it comes to game shows, is slightly distorted.

Below is a video clip from a game show called "Do Not Laugh". Contestentants have to try their hardest not to laugh during some type of scenario.

In this case, it is a biology class.

I have no idea what is being said, but the person trying make the contestants laugh is a card.

The smacking, I have no idea...
