Interesting: Human Tetris

July 6th, 2008

Sorry I haven’t posted much about tech in the past few days - holiday weekend and all. But I will share some ridiculously funny videos that had me laughing uncontrollably a few evenings ago. It’s of some nutty Japanese game show. Basically, contestants must contort their bodies to fit through a hole cut in a huge foam wall headed toward them. If they can’t do it in time, the wall pushes them into a pool of water.

What started cracking me up are some of the holes are totally impossible for anybody to make their way through, and the panic on the faces as a big wall comes toward them and they inevitably take a dunk. Also hilarious is the variety of situations such a simple set up can inspire - sometimes the wall is destroyed as it hits the people, or a person will climb up the wall and get dragged through the water.

Anyhow I’ll post some of the more amusing ones and if you’d like to investigate this further there are many more on YouTube.

  • Please don't ask me how I know this, but Ellen DeGeneres had done this on her show once or twice. Though I think it was a pool of plastic balls that the contestants fell into.
  • I love the huge guy who just broke the wall around him :D

    Japanese game shows are the best!
  • I also love the ends of these clips where there are three folks trying to
    get through a wall simultaneously - the holes are definitely impossible at
    those points ... !
  • Mike
    I wish they did stuff like that here!
  • They should make Human Tetris into a real video game -- NES original of course
