Brockway often makes suggestions that don't make a lot of sense at first. For instance, "Let's change our name to Shimmy Jim and the Hustlers," or "Corporate saxophone fighting," or "Shut the shit up, we do a Face/Off." But when he suggested we watch a 2016 game show about ten Japanese comedians locked in a room and trying not to laugh with no rules or structure, I said, "Oh fuck yeah saxophone fighting. And also let's do the Japanese thing."

So this Podcasting Day, the Dogg Zzone 9000 team is joined by our own Lydia Bugg to discuss the first season of the 2016 show, Hitoshi Matumoto's Documental.

Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts! Click and engage all the buttons that algorithms love!

Like at least one other show, Documental is an unknown treasure hidden deep in the limitless bowels of Amazon Prime's catalog. Or maybe it's not? We think it might be a show only for comedy nerds. Or maybe for 11-year-olds. They have no idea either. It's dick jokes and endurance gags limply offered by people who seem as confused about what's going on as any audience from any culture. They had to pay $10,000 to be there! It's screaming men putting on dresses and digging through each other's assholes to see if maybe this is where comedy is found?

We definitely don't figure it out, but we all agree it's something. And if you want something way more American, Hot Dog Hero patrons and meatier can listen to the Extra Wiener bonus podcast where Brockway and Liddy match pickup lines in a very seductive Seanbaby's Book Game! Can they out-creep the suggestions from 100 BEST OPENING LINES! by Eric Weber, the incompetent virgin author of How to Pick Up Girls?

Spoiler alert: nothing is creepier than incompetent virgin author Eric Weber. If scientists start growing human breast tissue on the backs of tarantulas, the first words those tarantulas say will be less creepy than Eric Weber's tips for harassing lady pedestrians. Please enjoy, and from everyone here at Shimmy Jim and the Hustlers... keep on hustlin'.

Huh I’m Japanese and I’m living in currently living in Japan. I never even considered this property to be of any interest to the Hot Dog crew. The majority of jokes they make are Japanese Kanji puns.

Yeyo

I don't know which one is the original, but there's a Mexican version of this show called LOL: Last One Laughing, also in Amazon. I never watched it, but I think it should be interesting to earth them both and compare

This is something I didn't know I needed. Butt humor is the highest form of humor and, yes, I *DO* have the sophistication of a 10-year-old.

LOL has been localized everywhere. There is a french one, canadian, aussie, spanish, etc etc.

New Zealander here. Brockway's characterisation of Australian comedy is precisely accurate, only it's more racist than that.

AU

I watched a few episodes of the Japanese one, was looking at my phone now and then, but the Australian one was just as psychologically riveting and I understood a lot more of the jokes. So I recommend that one.

The host is half of a legendary pair called Downtown. Couple years ago his partner wore blackface during their long LONG running new year's eve thing. Japanese comedy really REALLY loves vaudeville style duos or absurdist schtick.

I've heard somebody on a podcast (I'm pretty sure it was a Cracked Pod live show at the UCB) talk about how Japanese comedy is all centrally controlled by a monopolistic comedy corporation. I've no idea if that's actually true, but it's been my head-canon ever since, that there's a room full of salaryman executives who decide what's funny in Japan. Super thought it was gonna come up on this episode, because it was a Cracked fact and also because some aspects of Japanese culture are directly in the hotdog wheelhouse (I don't think you've recorded a podcast without using the word "karate" ... Come to think of it, I don't know if Seanbaby can even speak without saying "karate" or doing karate)
