>the problem with that is there's no western "personalities" that just hang out and do stuff. It wouldn't be as funny if you just picked random people off the street to do it. Shit, they tried to do Silent Library in the west and it was fucking awful.

Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. I was looking up what the gaki gang think of western fans yesterday, and apparently, I stumbled on a reddit thread saying they westernized Silent Library. According to some sources, it only lated a few years before it gotten canned.

I'm not remotely surprised because MTV make awful shows. You can't just westernize jp comedy thinking it would stick here, we have different cultures and they tried too hard. Shows like Ninja Warrior became popular because it was original, and Spike TV knew how to entertain western folks back in 2007.
