Weird Japanese Game Shows and Other Memes

in LOLZ's Fun House2 days ago

I was kind of in a bad mood last night, as I waded onto Twitter's dark side and was horrified by what I saw, so to cheer myself up before bed I went and collected a lot of memes to laugh at. Now this morning I'm sharing some of the best. None are amazing, but they all made me smile to varying degrees, so I share with you!


Let's begin with a meme showing a pattern that we all know only too well:

Thinkpads have long been known to be indestructable and impervious to the ravages of time. They also equal great job security.

It's a cooked cicada, so nothing too crazy. Older folks in Japan love them especially in the countryside, but younger people think they are gross, hence her reaction.


Sometimes it is obviously just meant to be:

(Yes, I know from the woman's perspective this kind of thing is too common and creepy. Call this one dark humor then)


Skeletor has a message:

Ok, that was weird.


If you've never seen a Moose before, you should realize they are much bigger than you probably expect:

Some good ones! And of course, I had to google what Skeletor told me to... why, whyyyyyyyy!!! :)) !BEER

haha I know.

That last one had me cracking up

haha yeah that was pretty wild.

My wife and I can never figure out where to go to eat. We often say nothing and everything sounds good all at the same time. Thinkpads were better before Lenovo spun off from IBM in my opinion. I had an old true IBM Thinkpad and that thing was amazing. You could anchor a boat with it, but it was amazing.

Yeah, IBM did them better. But they do still seem to be more rock solid than almost any other laptop out there.

We have had a fair number of their Chromebooks over the years and it always seems to be hit or miss with each of the major brands. Some have hinge issues, others something with the touchpad or the screen, etc.

It's a cooked cicada, so nothing too crazy. Older folks in Japan love them especially in the countryside, but younger people think they are gross, hence her reaction.

OMG, I was disgusted by this one haha, a kind of death game with a cicada. I know the Japanese have a lot of WTF games and moments and that sometimes scares me kkk

They do have a lot of crazy ones, absolutely!
