ハリセンボン

Set up strange situations for random people to experience, and monitor how they react to them.

Something that we struggle with daily, that eats us up and causes stress and anger: annoying people. You know those people. Unreasonable complainers, obnoxious drunk people, rude cab drivers, snobby salesperson, loud teenagers with no manners, and so on. Hosted by Teruyoshi Uchimura of the comedy duo Ucchan Nanchan, this show features short dramatic reenactments of real-life situation where someone beats those “bad guys” through cleverness and wit. In every episode, the well-reputed supporting actors are cast as characters. There’s no doubt that the show provides a great stress relief and leaves audience feel completely entertained and exhilarated!

Returning to its roots, Ken Shimura's classic comedy sketches will be revived, with each episode taking place in a different setting, such as a doctor's office, a park, a police box, an interrogation room, and a train. Of course, well-known characters such as Hen na Ojisan (Weird Uncle) and Grandma Hitomi will make appearances. In addition, the program will also include a location corner where the members will go out of the studio and visit all over Japan to meet local people and introduce their hometown pride!
