And I Thought I Was Evil
written by John Chow on March 18th, 2007
It takes a pretty evil mind to think up something like this. The show producers set up a “spa” at the top of a ski resort. However, as you’ll see in moment, this is no ordinary spa! I got to hand it to some of these Japanese TV shows. They’re pretty evil. I wonder if I can set up this type of spa on Grouse Mountain. Enjoy the video.

Make it whistler instead of Grouse
I’m sure it will go over really well there!
I wish I understood what they’re saying. That was hillarious!
They just simply telling people the steps those guys went thru, such as putting in the coin, count down started, nothing fancy.
Yeah I didn’t figure they were contributing much in terms of commentary. The video alone pretty much spoke for itself.
With clips like these, I don’t think it’s necessary to understand the language at all.
Good old Japanese bethroom humor.
Yea, the Japanese are real good at inventing and playing pranks on others.
I wonder how long that took them to design.
They are the best. There seems to be no fear of hurting people or getting sued. That always makes for the best pranks. Nothing better than physical humour, and it doesn’t get mush more physical than hurtling down a massive ski hill naked on a rocket propelled chair.
If they tried the same stunt in the States, I’d expect some sort of lawsuit. It seems that it’s only Japanese game shows that can get away with things like this.
Holy shit that was funny. The chair that shoots them down the mountain is the best.
I loved the rockets!
Thats great!!
Wow.. too bad you could never get away with anything like that in America, people would have lawsuits left and right!
Unless they sign their lives away before going into the spa. (release)
Welcome to the United States of Suehappy America
Does anyone else remember the old show Candid Camera?
Candid Camera did nothing to expose people’s modesty, did they? Gosh, I wouldn’t have want to be in their shoes.
I remember it, but that show was nothing compared to this!
I remember that show. The one that stuck out in my mind was that they’d get an actor to show up and drink a cup of apple juice, except it was placed at a medical lab where the victim would think it was a urine sample.
You are absolutely right. It’d be lawsuit-o-rama.
It really is too bad, the show would be a hit!
Those Japs are CRAZY !
i used to have Funny movie site that was LOADED with those kind of movies.. the things they’ll do..
The last one was the best. Cup in face, towel flying everywhere and doing a bunny hop on a leather chair! NICE
I like the one where the guys towel gets stuck, and he’s trying to get it back
hahaha…yeah, that was a good one too!
To think they had to paid money into the machine for that!
HAHAHA…Where do you find these clips? Do you have to be a certified evil blogger to subscribe?
These clips are everywhere, if you know where to look!
I guess my “evil” detective skills are lacking. That can be an area of improvement for me
He found it on my site! See the source link at the bottom?
I first saw it here. I didn’t notice the source at first. Then when I went to Samanathon, it was there!
Ask uncle Google, Jane. I put in “Japanese Prank Show” at Youtube and the first one on the list was this one.

But if you don’t have an evil mind, you wouldn’t think about this at the first place unless you accidentally stumble upon it when you go to Youtube. I thought John’s evil mind was the reason his found that video before all his readers here.
I mean I put “Japanese Prank Show” in Google.
hmmm, don’t know if I want to talk to anyone by the name Uncle Google
I wonder if they got their ‘Money back gauranteed’. I wonder how they closed the situation afterwards. I don’t think any of them would be letting it go so easily!
I believe they got more than they put in. They probably got the free airplane tickets, and accommodations to attend the TV show etc. In that way, the producer wouldn’t be sued. Unless something change after the last 25 years, that was what I know about those type of prank shows in Japan.
What do you mean? Having your jewels exposed in a populated ski slope isn’t enjoyable???
Exactly. Besides, if you can’t laugh at yourself in those situations, there’s just something wrong with you
If you think this video was funny, wait until you see what I have coming up this weekend!
Maybe John will link to me again!
I smell link bait!
Now that you put it out there, you set a pretty high standard for yourself. We better see something good saman!!!
Lyndonmaxwell – I’m not sure if the people in “our” part of the region can react like how the Japs in the clip did.
So what will you do if you get into a similar prank?
Ha ha. I love evil Japanese TV shows!
Hi there! looks funny!
Really funny! Made me laugh for a while! Saman said we can expect another one!
This is reality TV at its best…
Is this supposed to be a series? Wonder what the other vids are like?
I think John Chow is more evil than that TV show
Yeah, that’s a close one, but I still think there’s an evil community that get special perks
Yeah it does, great info and tons of linkbacks!
hahahhaa Yea I think hes more evil than this
I stumbled across a news article today that made me think of you.
The headline? Convicted Japanese Dotcom Tycoon Defiant
For a second I thought it might be you, but I thought you were chinese….
John is not Japanese.
Yeah, they would never take him! Too Evil!
Also, the Clan of Evil would do what they could to stop them from taking our leader!!
Have you DNA tested him???
OMG, hahahaha… I laughed so hard, my dog came running to see what was happening… jajajaja… I’m sending it to some friends…
I had tears in my eyes by the end of the clip.
That was great…I know a couple people that deserve that kind of spa treatment.
That was HILARIOUS!! Haha
Evil must see TV.
That was funny! 
At first, I thought the language was going to prevent me from really enjoying it.
But, “evil” translates pretty well without words.
Totally freaking hilarious!
Though I feel bad for the little who saw his dad fly out of the building. I hope he’s not traumatised….
That was plain wicked! Especially the second one – ‘rocket’ powered chair.
I pity the guy that wasn’t wearing anything!
Yeah, that’d definitely be rather embarrassing.
This is a good way to start off the week!
There was a similar one a few weeks ago ( possibly the same japanese tv show) where they set up pubic toilets. The only catch was that the toilet had a trick floor that would rise up through the roof when someone was in it. A person would be going to the bathroom and all of a sudden they would be out in the open air for everyone to see!
I guess there is a little evil in all of us..
I guess there aren’t as many lawsuits over there.
“I wonder if I can set up this type of spa on Grouse Mountain.”
It would give new meaning to The Grouse Grind.
Where is Grouse Mountain and how you get them to sign a release form?
That was hilarious!
You will always be the evil one to us
auh, that’s kinda sweet
Does anyone else have problems with embeded videos and wordpress. whenever i try to put one in the formatting of the page goes ape shit
Hey John,
That video made me laugh harder than I ever have… thank you so much! lol
Shaun
Yeah, you could never do that in America, we American’s would sue that show so quickly. Too bad though, I wish we had more shows that laughed at life like this.
Haha! Great find John, fantastic video to brighten up an otherwise dull Monday afternoon, and Dean is right, it’s a pity there aren’t more shows like this!
I will of course be looking twice at every seat next time I go skiing anywhere near Japan.
I have to say at first I thought, oh no. Some silly video clip…
Then I say them being dumped backwards, got a chuckle and thought, “OK, I can watch this.”
Then came the rocket propelled chair…
Then the tears of laughter came…
Those Japanese are craaaazey
Funny.. but seen it before!
haha i love how crued they are to each other
those people must have had to sign some sort of waiver.
You would hope so. Something about not being responsible for malfunctioning machinery.
So you think they knew what was going to happen and did it anyway? I’m pretty sure they hadn’t signed anything.
That was great, I needed a good laugh.
Wow this would never fly in North America!!!!
A good find from samons site. Man, nothing funnier than surprise public nudity!
So did they have to get permission from these people like they would need to do in the US?
If I had to choose between the two “rides,” I’d go for the “quick escape.” LOL this clip is hilarious!
