You’re probably familiar with the Japanese TV shows and how it’s hard to understand what is actually going on in there. But those shows have huge audience, not just in Japan, but all across the world. What is so special about those shows? Is it the huge amount of creativity that ties people into watching them?

I will leave that answer to you and your own personal taste about talk shows. What Pandaren Jason found recently is the ultimate proof there are people outside Japan that can make those kind of shows, with the same humor and awkwardness. Since it’s hard to have Japanese TV channels in Pandaria, and probably yours country too, it is happy time for me to find something like this. And hope it will grow.

Here’s the short example of what got my attention:

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show is basically a Japanese show made by Americans. The elements in the show are the exaggerated version of what’s happening in an average show in Japan. It’s really not important is it a talk show or game show, the atmosphere given here is always present in bigger or smaller quantities. Now, let us see the first episode of Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show.

The guest in the show represents an average human being OUTSIDE Japan. In other words, he has a hard time understanding what is going on around him. For me, that’ one of the biggest attraction of Japanese TV shows. You wait to discover what is it that makes all this people crazy and excited so much.And here’s one more episode that has it’s own special aura. Take a look how their guest accepted the show near the end and is practically being assimilated by “the Japanese showmen”.

People behind Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show are hoping to find a TV network so they can “making the more for us and soon everybody can watching and have fun for this”. I, for one thing, certainly hope that will happen soon. Until then, we will have to watch their creations on Youtube.

Sayonara!
