Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahende: Difference between revisions

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] : Played for laughs to some degree.

** A regular example of this that actually involves food can be seen in the various 'Absolutely Tasty!' episodes. While the cast like to experiment with their ingredients (such as [[Running Gag|Endo's use of Frisk mints]]), they're usually surprisingly rational to some degree... until Matsumoto's choices come up, which are almost always very bizarre and nasty. Past choices have included {{spoiler|horned turban liver, a bear's paw, a tuna's head and the skin of a pig's face.}}

* [[Breathless Non-Sequitur]]

* [[Butt Monkey]] : Tanaka and Yamazaki, but Heipo stands above those two.

* [[Gag Censor]]: Whenever any one of the main cast is naked, their naughty bits are covered with photographs of their own faces.

* [[Gossipy Hens]]: As of recent, towards the end of the batsu games, the cast are introduced to a meeting of several "undercover" employees of whatever company (newspaper, hospital, airline) they're supposedly working for, all of them played by fellow comedians. Under the excuse of identifying people the company's had "issues" with, the group starts gossiping about things they have heard about others, including the main cast, with some of the stories being [[Serial Escalation]]. [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Groin Attack]]: The Pie Hell had Matsumoto struck in that area with pies.

** The Chinko Machine causes these.

* [[Large Ham]]: Bibari Maeda, of all people, in the 2009 Hotel Batsu.

** This trope has long been an intentional part of Matsumoto's persona. It was practically necessary when Downtown still did their manzai routines on the show, but he still plays the card when the time is right.

** Yamazaki pulls this off too, sometimes to take advantage of his [[Butt Monkey]] status. The rest of the cast have learnt to catch on quickly to this, it seems, in the 2009 Hotel Man batsu game.

*** One thing you can usually expect from every No Laughing batsu game is that ''someone'' will try to do this to crack the other contestants up; it frequently backfires, however, especially if the perpetrator is Matsumoto.

** Played with in 2008 Newspaper Batsu Game. The reporters are told to cover the premiere of a movie called "Field of Butterfly" (which came out as "Field of House" in Tanaka's mangled translation). Later, after Yamazaki got the bejesus slapped out of him, he figures out that "Field of Butterfly" is {{spoiler|the Anglicized translation of "Chouno", Masahiro's last name}}. None of the Gaki crew figured it out prior to the event.

** Even lampshaded by Chouno himself in the 2009 Hotel Batsu Game.

* [[Overly Long Gag]] : Every No-Laughing batsu game seems to have at least one.

* [[Panty Shot]] : About 99% of them come from [[Fan Disservice|the guys]].

* [[Playing Against Type]] : Often the schtick of various [[Special Guest|Special Guests]] showing up in both the regular episodes and the specials. Recently, a number of period drama and soap opera actresses have somehow ended up playing parts in the No Laughing Allowed batsu games.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] : Matsumoto's Red to Hamada's Blue. [[Lampshaded]] in the 2008 New Year's Batsu special, with Hamada's color being blue and Matsumoto being red, not to mention their behavior during their Test of Courage segment.

{{color|blue| Hamada: Shut up, will you.}} }}

* [[Replicant Snatching]] : In the 2010-2011 Spy Batsu game, where a member of the cast gets snatched and replaced with Itao Itsuji wearing a facemask in the victim's likeness. Also counts a bit as [[Mirror Universe]] as the Replicant acts quite out of character. Obviously played for laughs -- especially since the rest of the cast could tell quite easily that something was wrong.

* [[Running Gag]] : Oh so many, from Tanaka's cowardice, Heipo's ineptitude, Onishi's [[Epic Fail]] at English, Yamazaki being slapped around by Masahiro Chouno, Endo's Dynamite Shikoku, Matsumoto's [[Hair-Trigger Temper]], Hamada's sociopathy, Fujiwara crossdressing, Chiaki's new Onii-chans, Suga inserting photographs of himself in bizarre places, the list goes on.

''TANAKA.....THAI KICKU!!'' (Hotelman, Spy, and Airport) }}

** [[Brick Joke]]: This show will wait ''years'' to bring back a [[Running Gag]], if it has to. One of the reasons Tanaka cracked up repeatedly over Endo's Dynamite Shikoku character in the Yugawara Hot Springs, No Laughing Allowed batsu game was that it had been almost ''seven seasons'' since the last time they'd used him.

* [[Visible Silence]]: Used prominently in the Batsu Game series, usually denoting a beat when someone says something peculiar which is invariably followed by at least one of the parties (or both) trying not to laugh. Usually, [[Rule of Funny|they fail spectacularly]].

** For example, from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLbEPCdPsQ Yugawara Batsu Game] (around 01:05):

'''Yamazaki''': ''[cracking up]'' What the ''hell'' is "magnitude" supposed to mean?! }}

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Tanaka and Heipo are scared of ''everything''. Tanaka's [[Face Fault|legs tend to give out]] whenever he gets a nasty, sudden surprise, whereas Heipo just screams and flails.

* [[Worked Shoot]] : The pranks that the cast used to pull were typically framed like this. The most famous examples were when Hamada would go into a blind rage over something and would need to restrained by the rest of the cast before he could actually attack the one "responsible" for the error. When they pulled this one on Tanaka, he ''started crying''.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]] : Hamada has to wear an uniform with a mini-skirt and type-B stockings in the No-Laughing Hospital batsu game {{spoiler|and again in 2011's No-Laughing Airport}}. Hamada, ever the sadist, quickly learns that flashing his garters at his fellow teammates is almost guaranteed to make them laugh.
