Crazy Japanese TV

kaitouI saw the weirdest show last night.....
Last night I was watching this show, I think it was U.F.O. but I'm not sure. And it has to be one of the weirdest things I have ever seen on Television. They had a hypnotist from Amercia come in to hypnotise about 6 guests. This hypnotist did not speak any Japanese, so he had an interpreter. I really can't believe that it worked because I always though that the soothing voice of the hypnotist had something to do with it, and the interpreter's voice was NOT soothing. But it did. The hypnotist convinced them all that they were really Martians and could only speak "the language of Mars."
Let me tell you, there aren't many things funnier than watching a stern looking Japanese man stand up and shout, "Too! Too too too Too!"
Then they decided that what they really needed was a contest. So they brought out a Japnaese hypnotist and had a battle....who's brainwashin will reign supreme!?
The first round was food. While each hypnotist hypnotized one of the guests they brought out ice cream cones filled with wasabi ice cream. 100% wasabi. The Japanese guest realized what he was actually eating about halfway through, and ran for a bucket, but the American hypnotized guest just kept on eating saying how great it was, how sweet.....Until the hypnotist snapped him out of it, that is.
Then they had them drinking tabasco sauce as tomato juice. And let me tell you, I have never seen anyone enjoy a drink as much as one guy was enjoying his tabasco sauce. He was totally blissed out, and asked for seconds. Then of course they were snapped out of it. Hoo boy.
So, first round went to the American. Then second round was 'animal battle,' because it's not enough to make someone act like a chicken...no, they need to fight! They set up a ring in the middle of the floor while the two hypnotists did their thing, convincing them that they were dogs, and to attack the other dog.
The Japanese hypnotist didn't even manage to get his guy into the ring. The 'dog' jumped over the barriers, through the ring, over the next wall and right at the other 'dog' and went straight for his throat! Luckily the hypnotists put them back to sleep before we had someone rip out another person's throat on nighttime TV.
I'm guessing that was too intense, so they decided that the next round would be....parakeets. Yes, parakeets battling to the death! They managed to get the two hypnotized guys in the ring before letting them go. The two guys circled each other and squawked for awhile. Then, arms all folded back like he was a delicate ballerina, the one guy launched at the other in the most pathetic tackle I have ever seen in my life. It was VERY funny. Even funnier than the fight scene in Bridget Jones' Diary. They just sort of hopped back and forth and knocked into each other and flapped their 'wings.' Like a geriatric mosh pit.
The animal round went to the Japanese hypnotist and then they sadly changed to a segment about food and pop stars. But yeah. I am really going to miss this.
