No Laughing - Enthusiastic Teachers (2012)


The Gaki no Tsukai cast participate in the 6th annual punishment game (the 7th New Years show in the No Laughing Series). In this series they dressed up as Takeda sensei from back at the High School Batsu Game who gave them a music class in which in realizty they only did impersonations to bait each other into laughing. Once again popular celebrities made their appearance such as Matsuko Deluxe, Happy Boy, Chiaki, and even Endo's family as the Gaki Cast made a time travel towards the edo period. This batsu game is the first one to feature two sets of drawers that the cast had to open.

Among the famous guests who performed here were Sonny Chiba, Masahiro Chono and many other comedy duos in Japan.

No Laughing - Police Station (2006)

This batsu game premiered as a three-hour special. The losing players were Yamasaki, Hamada, and Endō, who lost at a Russian Roulette style game using large tubs suspended from the studio ceiling, and cutting loose the one's that fell, thus earning them a spot in the Batsu Game. The weapon used for the punishments in this game is a straightstick baton. Matsumoto and Tanaka avoided the batsu, and later appeared in the game, visiting the three punished players. The hang-men were especially rough when giving discipline to offenders.
