BEST. GAME SHOW. EVER.
03.08.10Until BuzzFeed erroneously called this a “TV show for kids,” I had never heard of “Fort Boyard,” a game show of physical challenges that takes place inside the French fort of the same name. In the hypnotic, delightfully long (almost nine minutes) clip below, numerous attractive women — all of them in low-cut shirts — try to conquer a series of rolling cylinders by… well… look at the picture and do the math. It’s fantastic.
By the way, after looking at the show’s Wikipedia page, I’ve decided that the only challenge I might like better than these rolling cylinders is the Chicken Room:
Chicken Room (2001) a very rare challenge, in which a female contestant transports corn from a holey bucket from a barrel to a pair of scales. The corn must weigh down one side of the scales to lift the key which is on the other side. Inside the room are chickens.
“Inside the room are chickens.” I think that little touch of flair could make any game show better. Jeopardy: “Three contestants answer trivia clues by phrasing their responses in the form of questions. Inside the room are chickens.”


and silly woman that I am, I was trying to make out the instructions shouted at them in French which were pretty silly such as ‘Glide, you must glide!” and then I noticed to cool shoes the girls had on and thought “hmmmm, I wonder where I could get a pair…” I am SUCH A GIRL.
BTW – all the women were wearing black sports bras, they weren’t particularly compressive sports bras but they did keep them from falling out.
This should have its own channel.
For some reason I keep hearing Benny Bennasi’s “Satisfaction” over and over in my head as I watch this.
FTW ! ;)

I like the no bra rule….
“agent says:
not long enough.”
twss?
Figures that the one who doesn’t show any cleavage gets the key.
In New Brunswick (the good one) we had to watch this show in French class all the time. It was awesome because we normally just sat around naming flash cards of birds and oranges.
not long enough.
Holy shit, the first chick is Lara Croft.
Finally – a show FOR men BY men!
I’m trying to think of a joke. But I can’t.
Just, thanks.
Denise Milani for the win:

A thousand times yes.
Watching this had better have the same effect as that Ring videotape.
Does that key unlock my basement?
6:59, thats just straight up pornography.
I like how the video’s creator gives that one a fitting moment of silence.

I haven’t seen this many cocks in one place since last night in your mother’s bedroom, Trebek.

6:59, thats just straight up pornography. Not that I’m complaining or anything.
Dear lord. I don’t ask for much. But if you put Christina Hendricks on this show, I will erect several statues in your name. As well as my schlong.
