Human Tetris Game Shows

Squeezing Through Shapes in Moving Walls

The Japanese have a wildly popular and hilarious game show where contestants try and squeeze through really strange shapes as a moving pink wall comes at them. If they are unsuccessful, they are swept into a pool of water. Watch too for the team events when all three contestants have to quickly align themselves and get through the gaps as a group!

In some crazy runs, the match-up is totally wrong as a big man tries to fit through a very small shape. One of the videos shown here is the sexy girls in bikinis version on Italian TV which lacks the humor of the Japanese version - six episodes so far. Enjoy!
