Since it's the weekend that must mean a plethora of Japanese game show videos. Here is dizzy boxing and I still can't fathom why this stuff isn't on Fox in the US. For some reason I seem to remember something on Fox within the last 3 years that resembled silly game shows, but I can't seem to recall what it is.

What is it they dive into? The silver looking dish? It looks like a huge bowl of rice or something?
At 2:26 the guy gets butt punched. hehe.

Definitely the first time I had seen someone go for the butt for maximum damage.

@seanrox: Believe it or not, I think that's ice in the dish.
Japanese game shows are notorious for forcing contestants into water that's sometimes over 51°C (124°F). They're probably trying to cool off after falling in.
This is still my favorite game show clip (although there's no shortage of other hilarious ones):

Cechols: The ice thing makes sense. Like shaved ice or something. Also, that video clip looks painful, oh so painful!

Ice makes perfect sense, especially considering how they ball up into the tiny tub and are trying to fight their way into it. Cechols, that clip is a classic.

So in theory, it could be a bowl of frozen rice :)
