The concept behind Candy or Not Candy is contestants take a bite out of what they think is the object that is candy out of three options. Sounds easy, right? Kind of on the eccentric side, to be completely honest. As weird as it sounds, the players have to eat the object if they think it is made of chocolate or if they are wrong not only will they lose score, they will also be biting some really weird stuff. This game show is one of the most famous Japanese shows on different social media platforms.

And it is kind of fun to watch with someone. Yes, this is a real game show, airing in The concept of this game show is interesting, to say the least. However, this is a perfect example of Japanese television using more X-Rated humor than a lot of Western Cultures tend to be comfortable with. Japan took quite a risk airing a show like this as it was a bold move to make. Definitely weird, but definitely bold. The title and the video truly do speak for themselves about this game show.

Though one girl did succeed in propelling a cockroach into her opponent's windpipe, there are no winners here. Unless you count the cockroach itself, which was finally freed from serving as a pawn to man's eternal, pointless struggle to find meaning in a meaningless world. Karaoke-based game shows apparently enjoy some sort of niche popularity, since they seem to keep popping up whenever there's a midseason-replacement crisis or an empty "Aw, fuck it.

Why not? The most recent trend in this genre sees the contestants undergo some sort of challenging distraction while they perform, such as having the lyrics on the teleprompter taken away or having to remain within 20 yards of Steve-O.

The show is called Sing What Happens , and the object of the game is to try to maintain your singing focus while a hot, fake nurse is giving you a handjob.

I don't want to jump to conclusions. That's about it.
