File this under "shit you watch when it's one in the morning and you don't want to go to sleep because you have a lot of work to do when you wake up."

So I was watching The Soup last night, and they had one clip from a game show that I just could not believe existed. As they said on The Soup, they "were going to call it the 'Hit Fat People With a Wall and Try to Drown Them' show, but that didn't test well."

It's called Hole in the Wall. It's on Fox. And it's the American version of a Japanese show. Of course.

The premise is, there's a wall. With a hole in it. And if you don't fit through the hole, the wall knocks you into a pit of neon water. That's it. Oh, and the contestants have to wear the world's least flatteriing mylar outfits.

So they have full episodes online. So I watched one. Okay, two. It's just...addictingly crappy. Like, how the hell do they find people to participate on a show like this? Who chooses to humiliate themselves by getting their fat hips stuck in a wall that then dumps them in a vat of water? And who the hell is in the audience, because I don't believe this show has fans.

The best part, though, is that before each round, the announcer says in a deep dramatic voice, "It's time to face the hole." ... Was that as dirty in Japanese?

In case anyone on the internet has missed this, David Tennant plants one on John Barrowman at a panel at San Diego Comic Con.

It happens at about the five minute mark )


I didn't actually listen through the rest of it, so I have no idea if there are spoilers for things, recent or upcoming. So if you're worried for that, you can skip it. Or just fast forward.
