Hysterical Japanese TV tablecloth-yanking competition

By Rain Noe - October 2, 2007

in Object Culture

Everyone from Buster Keaton to Jackie Chan to Fonzie has proven adept at yanking tablecloths out from under unmoved goods. It makes perfect sense, then, that Japanese TV would hold a contest on the subject between what appears to be a maitre'd, a Chippendales dancer and a housewife. You've gotta love how they keep upping the ante, from Level 1 to Level 4, and how the contestants treat it like they're competing in the Olympics. via tv in japan
