As you will know by now, we are both fascinated and highly amused by Japanese TV shows – in particular the hidden camera pranks. They do the most absurd things that you just could not get away with in any other country without being sued, but the Japanese take it all in the good humour that it was intended. This particular video is a compilation of pranks ranging from the classic “man hiding in a box dressed as a monster jumps out to terrify the victim” to the hilariously surreal, such as letting a Emu loose in a public toilets!
This funny video also features giant snow balls and boulders (made out of polystyrene or something similar). An old man gets the fright of his life as he sees a huge boulder rolling down the hill towards him, and a cyclist turns a corner and runs straight into one! The classic monster jumping out of the floor prank is made more amusing by the fact that one of the victims rips his coat as he falls, and as he shows the camera man the damage his friend duly makes the rip larger resulting in a slap to the face!
Something that you won’t see every day though is the Emu in the toilets. It stands behind this poor guy as he uses the urinal and peers over his shoulder – as you can imagine, he doesn’t hand around and puts his pecker away in lightening speed before it can get pecked!
