My contribution: Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende.
A long running Japanese comedy series where a famous stand-up duo and some cohorts do stuff that is or is supposed to be funny, often with celebrity guests.
A search for "gaki no tsukai" "gaki downtown" or "ガキの使い" should get you alot of results on YouTube.

This is both in english an Japanese, part of their 'silent library' series. The object of the 'game' is to stay quiet while something aweful happens to you. No prize, no penalty. Also, I love how "Nose Hair Pulled" is somehow translated as "Outwitted."

I'm sure Ive seen a fair amount of German commericals that made my feel like I'd been lobotomised, but i can't even remember the product.

This is apparently a real Finnish TV ad from the seventies, advertizing bathroom cosmetics.
