They brought back some old favorites, Chono ended up appearing twice, including on the bus. (It kills me thinking of Matsumotos face when he sees him)

I don't think it's that simple. They both said they feel uncomfortable around each other alone, and Matsumoto has hinted at some deep wounds between them (in the Matsumoto episode of Professional, he said that he hopes he dies first because he thinks Hamada has a lot to apologize for at his funeral, and it really didn't sound like a joke)

Actually, I've heard that (japanese) people in general were pleased with last years batsu and Suga said they plan to make it similar for this year, but it's always difficult to include all those celebrities again and again.
So as long Downtown can move, they will probably force this upon them for years to come.

(Also he said last years budget cut was the highest yet - I don't know, they used mostly the same props, same building from Police batsu and 4 old men running away from black bodysuit pranksters for a whole fucking afternoon doesn't seem to me like it cost much.)

Personally I think last year's batsu was the worst until now, the only time I really laughed was at the desk part and Hamada's M1-model.
Everything else is the same all over again.

Wish they'd let the comedians themselves think of the pranks, they are the professionals at it, not the recording/producer staff.
And that annoying rivalry between the two outsider comedian teams near the end has become almost like Jackass, that segment needs to go, I always skip it now.

>Matsumoto has hinted at some deep wounds between them
really? been a while since i watched that, but i thought i didn't get anything that negative from the interview.
feels like it's more similar to how he wouldn't read the letter to hamada at hamada's birthday.

>>12683677
i've read somewhere that suga would retire after this. so even if gaki no tsukai and the 24h batsu game still goes, it would be under a different producer.

>> No.12685480

>>12685317
He left the show last year if I remember correct. Well, this year even. (was posted in the last big thread on here, or few ago)
I'm hoping it means he might come in to the games as a more direct "prop" rather than the usual vans, statues, cars and pictures.
I think it would be great if they sneaked Fujiwara out at some point, then suddenly Suga replaces him, dressed in the same outfit.

I'd love it if there was a segment in it that referred back to something else they had done. Like how about a mini Absolutely Tasty Prison, but with others playing them?
That is sure to destroy them, especially if they use the brilliance of Endo Recipes. Always bet on Frisk.
Simple stuff like that, they wouldn't be able to resist the laughter because it is so personal.
Or even have them re-enact a Kiki episode. Horribly. And with hilariously broken personas of each of the team.
I can remember back to that one time where Yamazaki tried to place his hand on a PAINTED BENCH. Imagine doing that again, but have the "wall" break open.
Simple stuff like this is what gets them and they'd be so used to all these complex things they'd have no idea what to do.
Someone escaping their cell because the bars were made out of cardboard and some sort of interaction with wardens, Chono, and this time Yama doesn't get slapped. (slap, like, Suga or something)

I really do hope they change it up. Even more so if it isn't at all like I suggested.

>> No.12688286

>>12685480
>Always bet on Frisk.
Well, crushed Frisk has been used as bastu game weapon multiple times on the show. Ask Tanaka, Jicho Kacho and Ueshima.

>> No.12688441

>>12684882
Well, you answered your own question.
Except for the Takeshi part. I disagree on that.

>>12685317
Suga already retired from the show in the middle of the year or so.
He just comes back for the 24h batsu game because it's a big hit.

>>12685317
Hamada gets paid more than Matsumoto, he joined Yoshimoto Kogyo before (therefore, becoming Matsumoto's senior), in the first years of success, Hamada was considered the good one of the duo, while Matsumoto wasn't that much appreciated.
Those things alone wouldn't matter, but knowing Hamada's persona, maybe he could have been a dick from time to time using those things.

>>12684978
That's the problem. The only thing people watch is the 24h batsu game. Then for the rest of the year, the ratings are not so good.

>> No.12688498

>>12682817
I think the DVDs aren't really played from the DVD itself. More in that the crew behind the scenes controls what is played. So if it had been DVD and then they eat it, the DVD would have been something different and they would have put in the elite salt video later. Atleast that would make the most sense to me instead of leaving it completely to chance.

>>12688441
Maybe they should get back in to doing more smaller specials instead of one huge one.
The upside to this is possibly more ratings, and equally there will be more people available to appear on the show as well. It gets so crowded at the end of the year.

What shows do they still even do though?
I'm not all that familiar with recent stuff besides that one thing that weeping contest.
Sadly, I am a non-Japanese pleb presently.


Also, time for some spoilers!
Looks like we know what will make an appearance this time.
Here's hoping it won't be so long and drawn out, and be more fun.
I have no idea what this is going to end up doing. Looks like FUN to me.

I'd say Hamada gets paid more simply because he does more solo appearances and MCing than Matsumoto. He has always been the social one of the two while Matsumoto was the source of their comedic material, both in terms of planned scripts and extreme improvisation. Matsumoto mentioned recently that one time he thought his paycheck for some new show was little small, so he asked about it from his manager and the next time he got the paycheck, it was double of the original.
That being said, various "Top 10 Money Making Celebrities/Comedians of the year" lists come up from time to time (with Matsumoto & Hamada often named) and since even they are not consistent, I'd say it's impossible for a baka gaijin owarai niwaka otaku to say who actually earns more.

Seriously, people doing retarded speculation on 4chan based on either absolutely nothing or some random small details always makes me mad.

He was busted by Friday (magazine) around June. Apparently it had been going on since 2010. His wife tried to do some damage control in media but eventually it became unquestionable.

Matsumoto kept mentioning it on "Wide na Show" (http://www.fujitv.co.jp/en/v_14_06.html)) for a long a time despite the staff's orders because he felt that everyone was trying too hard to sweep it under the rugs.

I think making fun of the subject is more heartful reaction than trying to pretend it never happened.

Jinnai Tomonori divorced in 2009 because of his affairs and he still gets called for it everytime he appears on a show. Busting people for their dumb actions in general is really common in the business. Lot of comedians drink/spend time with their kouhai, who later act as information sources when needed.

Gaki has had a lot less slapsticks and harsh batsu games involving the main cast, especially Downtown themselves, lately. The more physically demanding skits so far have been Non Stop Moving Challenge and Hamada Cram School.

It was a lot funnier when Downtown are the ones who take, not just give.
