WE NEED MORE HUMAN TETRIS
11.03.09Japanese game “Brain Wall” (nicknamed human tetris) started as a component of the TV show Tunnels’ Thanks to Everyone [Seriously?] and has since been adapted in 38 more countries. We need to replace every show on TLC with this.
You know what the maddening thing is? There was an American version of the game, Hole in the Wall, which was pulled from the Fox lineup after the first episode and replaced with episodes of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? [THR]. Last night, there were three hours of new episodes of America’s Funniest Home Videos on ABCFAM, but we only get one episode of American Brain Wall? Not cool, guys. Not cool.
More awesomeness inside:

@Freedom Chipmunk…
You’re a fucking jerk.
It got cancelled because the Americans were too fat and would break the fucking wall down rather than fall in the water. Wholly unsatisfying.
I’ll never stop answering this question until a fully funded government study is conducted: “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU JAPAN?!?!?!” Act human. For once. God damnit. You wonder why we dropped nukes? Well, this is why! That was like America putting a shock collar on our dog. Apparently, we’re gonna have to crank up the voltage a little bit to keep your crazy little asses in line.
That show stunk worse than my butt.
If you have more than 3 brain cells, it gets really stupid after about 45 seconds.
Hole in the Wall was the most awesome game show ever for one reason: Mark Thompson. Screw Louis C.K., Patton Oswalt, and every other great comic working today. They all should kneel at the feet of Mark Thompson. The guy is simply one of the greatest insult/improv comics I’ve ever seen. He would come up with absolute perfect zingers for every single contestant who participated in the show (my favorite was when two male strippers were huddled in a lol buttsecks position and he said something to the effect of “I think this is a comfortable position for them”.).
Brooke Burns provided plenty of unintentional laughs as the on-the-floor girl (which is probably what she did to get the job (Good one Jay!)). Greatness was accomplished when some midgets participated on the show and she would interview them ON HER KNEES! Best part was when the lied on her stomach while wearing a short skirt and the cameraman zoomed in on her cooch (he knows what America wants to see). Add to this the MST3King me and my brother did with the two lifeguards (who we nicknamed Hans and Sheila) and you have the most entertaining game show I’ve ever seen.
Simply put, the cancellation of Hole in the Wall is just further proof that FOX should suck my farthole.
I totally thought I watched more than one episode of Hole in the Wall. Did I hallucinate the whole latter half hour of my life?
Seriously, the show was phenomenal.
It’s nice to know that I have a bigger penis than everyone in this clip.
Hole in the Wall lasted more than one episode. It just wasn’t that great. They spent too much time on replays, interviewing contestants, and recaps than they did the action. They actually sometimes didn’t even show the attempt, just a recap of it. That’s why it’s more popular in Japan…also, they have more tentacle rape in their version.
