oh from tetro pink almost forgor that!

(ch5 never happened guys ch5 never happened)

Ken Hasegawa (Tetro Danganronpa: PINK) with game shows and notebooks!

Mel Giedroyc puts comedians in a locked room, and films them trying to get out.

An enjoyable romp through the world of escape rooms. There's someone in the cast for every viewer, and i was surprised at how well Chloe Petts clicked with the comedian Ed Gamble.

Doubtless the escape room aficionados will be able to spot which tropes have been used, and will dutifuly document them on their wiki. For us television viewers, The Way Out was an entertaining watch, with just a little bit of science so we didn't feel like we were completely vegging out.

Also loved how the show allowed itself to be immersive, only breaking out of the room for confessionals just before and after the ad breaks. Lesser shows would have cut every ten seconds to Nish Kumar on the sofa.

You can watch six episodes of this obscure British official Nintendo game show here, and on YouTube, you can watch the semifinal here and the grand final here.

You can watch videos about it here (2011) and here (2019).

Me: "phallocentric communication" meaning he thinks with his bits?

A friend: I read it as more they're sword fighting.

Me: What, like penis fencing in flatworms?

😒😒🫣

I'm having trouble imagining this. Is it like a lightsabre battle where they make that "wom, wom" noise while they wave them around?

Okay, I probably would pay to watch that, not as porn, more as spectator sport. It would be even better if you were stoned

Somehow I'm sitting here planning this gameshow

Okay, to make it fairer it should probably use strap-ons rather than actual penises, so people without penises could play. (And also keep their clothes on.)

But you would get them in various sizes and so on. And then you'd have some sort of augmented reality system so they appeared on camera like glowy lightsabre penises, and it would add the sound effects

And of course that would mean you could keep the show skipping along by setting a time limit on each joust, so that a few minutes the sabres would slowly start wilting and be less useful for hitting the other guy

And then the clock would hit zero and you'd be eliminated with the screen flashing "I'M SO SORRY, THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE"
