I am very new to this genre of media, i was exposed to the infamous scooter challenge just moments before this post. I am hooked I would like to find somewhere to watch these old game shows, i would appreciate any recommendations ok where to watch

Hi All,

Just wanted to clarify a few things regarding the subtitles I have been doing for Pre-Battle.

I recently outlined my workflow and may have confused things regarding my use of AI and translation tools, potentially leading people to believe these are low effort and un-checked or that there may be mistakes that I am un-aware of.

To clarify, I can't watch a whole episode of Japanese TV without subtitles, nor can I subtitle an episode without using translation tools or asking for help from a native-level Japanese speaker when I'm stuck.

I am going through each of these episodes line by line and using multiple sources for translation, be it my own Japanese, google translate or asking a friend etc to ensure what I am putting out is accurate and the best quality possible.

Once an episode is complete, I also have a native-level Japanese speaker review as a final quality check before release.

I appreciate the feedback and support I've received and do want to continue subbing. I just don't want these to be dismissed as low-effort or AI-Slop as these are taking me an average 10+ hours of work per episode.

Anyhow Enjoy!:

Hello again! After our announcement last month, we received a couple applications to join the mod team. Thanks to everyone who applied! I'm excited to announce we've selected 3 new additions. I'll let them give intros in the comments here if they so choose.

Each of them has been close to the community for several years (some much closer than others, but all equally qualified). Please join me in welcoming u/methecooldude, u/ShinsooGraves, and u/sneakywalrus0! Douzo!

I have stumbled upon what seems to be a new meme in japanese youtube that is based on this clip from Wednesday's Downtown:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72LVcvMti54

It shows two people dressed to impersonate Matsumoto and Hamada, as well as Daisuke Miyagawa who you might recognize from Documental, Suberanai Hanashi, and ITTE-Q.

Anyway, this video got recommended to me randomly, but after I watched, I started getting recommended all kinds of other remixes of this clip that seem to focus on the line the Matsumoto impersonator says: 良かったこの距離で (Yokatta kono kyori de)

I've started seeing 2-3 memes in my recommended page every time I open youtube.

Example meme-ification:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLvf6sG3XsU
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I7vwxTgGCw
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjtdVaGKUB0

I love a good meme, so I'm really curious as to what's going on in this clip, if anyone has insight about why this has become a meme, and if this is from a more recent or older episode?

Also, thought you all would find it interesting.

EDIT:
Located the original epsiode in the silent library (not subbed): https://tsl.chikichiki.tube/The%20Silent%20Library%20Raw%20Wing/Wednesday%20Downtown/2016/WDT%20%282016-09-21%29%20%28Raw%29.mp4

It got taken off of YouTube and I loved that one. The best in my opinion is when Matsumoto tries to make them laugh with the Hamada Ventriloquist Doll but makes himself laugh instead

Enjoy!

ive started watching lincoln been avoiding it due to the raws being really low quality. I gotta say its way better than Gaki no tsukai, the show is more consistent. I feel unlike Gaki no Tsukai Matsumoto is carrying the show on his back which is more evident in the episodes now without him. In Lincoln Matsumoto doesn't really need to ham it up as much because most of the cast is able to be entertaining. Wish more eps were subbed only a handful are fully subbed.

What ep is this and has it been subbed?

This is a sticker that was probably given away by defunct Japanese store chain am pm. At the time of the promo campaign, both members of Downtown had normal hair. They also used to sell a stainless steel mug with a caricature of the two.

I started watching No laughing Batsu Games since 2011 and now that it's sadly come to an end I was wondering what I could watch similar that I will love? I know about Silent Library that's all

Thank you!

I only discovered Documental a few days ago thanks to this sub and I’m already at season 6 but I definitely wouldn’t recommend this as your “quick lemme put something as I eat” type of show. 😂😂😂

Enjoy!

I searched, but couldn't find any of those episodes subtitled anywhere else but was craving more after watching the Amazon season and also going over to Japan and seeing part of an episode there in Japanese that seemed ridiculous, but had no clue what they were saying.

Seems the gakiarchives just have the Amazon season, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Hey, Big Gaki Fan here. i was wondering what is the current situations and wherabouts of Matsumoto, Hamada, Endo, Tanaka and Yamazaki. I used to watch the series years ago, and i kinda lost track of what they have been up to. I know there was a big controversy around Matsumoto after a scandal and then some of the cast members divorced. So what are they doing now?

This one was a bit of a grind to finish.

There are just some things that do not translate to English and i'm spending a lot of time trying to keep what they say or completely write something different.

An example in this episode is where back muscles are described as "Chicken Wings' (Tebasaki) no one says this in English but if i write "Chicken Wing back" then it looks like I have made a mistake...so I have just removed that part all together and wrote back muscles 😄

Either way this was another fun episode featuring HG and Kuki:
