Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! (ダウンタウンのガキの使いやあらへんで!!, Downtown's 'This Is No Job For Kids!!'?) is a Japanese variety show hosted by the popular Japanese owarai duo, Downtown. The popular show began airing on October 3, 1989, and continues to air every Sunday night.The regular cast consists of 5 comedians: the Downtown combi formed by Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada, the Cocorico combi formed by Naoki Tanaka and Shouzo Endo, and Housei Tsukitei (formerly known as Housei Yamazaki).They're best known for their New Year's Punishment Games and the Silent Library skits, the latter of which became the basis of its own game show in the United States on MTV.

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, they fail spectacularly. For example, from Yugawara Batsu Game:

All Men Are Perverts: One No Laughing challenge has all the guys hurled back in time to the Tokugawa regime, where they are granted an audience with the reigning shogun Tokugawa Kogemitsu. Fujiwara (the longstanding handler for the annual No Laughing events)has already prepared a gift 'from the future' to appease the temperamental shogun... a porn mag.

Tempting Fate: In the Detective Batsu, one of the DVDs they get is an Infomercial about a product designed to protect your buttocks from Thai Kicks. Tanaka orders one immediately using money he had just found earlier and receives it right away. The next DVD they play naturally calls for Tanaka to get Thai Kicked, but the device is not only not as seen on TV but the thai boxer kicks him in an area that it wasn't "protecting". Just minutes later he calls to complain about a defective product, so they send him another "Mamoru-Kun", and a Thai Kick. The device fails again by inflating in front on him, leaving himself uncovered for the Thai Kick.

Apple of Discord: Though it never escalates too far, the 24-hour tag sequence has the group of 4 (Hamada, Yamasaki, Endo and Tanaka) being given single items (such as a single cup ramen, single piece of pork bun, or a single sausage). Tanaka, Endo and Yamasaki team up to contrive farfetched reasons and methods to split the items between just the three of them and exclude Hamada.

comment
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Drunk Momotaro Theater skit. In an effort to prove that as "Professional Comedians" they can perform thru any situation, the group (with a roped in Director) attempt to perform Momotarō while drunk. The group is to perform the lines from the play flawlessly; any mistake means that the play is stopped and the group must drink another round. The production crew decides to let the group continue on after a botched line on the second attempt for fear the group would get too inebriated.

comment
Title Drop : In the regular Couch Gag, but this was also brought up by Matsumoto as a joke in the tarai roulette game. After the rules have been explained, which say that the game goes on until either Hamada or Matsumoto are out, Matsumoto questions whether the title should be changed to 'Coq Au Rico no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!!'.

Human Resources: A variation: In the 2014 Earth Defense Force batsu game, a DVD movie shows senior actor Ebisu Yoshikazu being placed in a sauna for 20 minutes, where his sweat is collected, then boiled off to collect its salt, which is later used in the preparation of rice cakes... rice cakes that Endo and Yamazaki had found in their respective drawers and eaten previously before it was too late. Needless to say, Endo and Yamazaki were rather perturbed and disgusted when they found out.

Broke the Rating Scale: The "Zettai ni Oishii" cooking segments already have negative numbers built into their scoring system; it goes from 10 down to -2, with negative points depicted as skulls... but at least one dish was bad enough to get two full skeletons.

Hurricane of Puns
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_2937826d
comment
Hurricane of Puns : A 2003 batsu game had Hamada travel to Vladivostok to receive a 'back-slap' from a 'secret gang member'. The hurricane formed even before the batsu game started, however. Hamada and Matsumoto, in an earlier show, had bet on the outcome of a baseball game. When the team Hamada chose ended up losing, Matsumoto realised - something he later shared on-camera - that they'd lost mostly due to how they'd responded in the bottom of each inning; the 'back half' of a baseball game. Due to this, most of the game - including the name of the game itself - involves Hamada visiting or encountering things and places with the word 'ura' ('back') in them (Vladivostok itself is a joke, going off its Japanese pronunciation) and finding things upside-down, such as the car he's been given. He also gets a visit by Japanese fairy tale character, Urashima Tarou and plenty of other people with 'ura' in their name.

Cursed with Awesome
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome : In one of the special segments, the Gaki crew versus another comedian group crew are challenged to run in a straight line after being spun rapidly. Hamada shrugs the effect after being spun 99 times and runs like nothing happened. It turns out that there's something wrong with his ear canal which enables him to completely not feel any dizziness from being spun. Revisited in the 2020 No Laughing Youthful High School challenge; Tanaka, after being spun 50 times, falls down almost immediately and rolls off the path, but Hamada manages to run the entire path to the buzzer, though he has to work to stay running in a straight line. Hamada even admits that he wasn't sure that he could still pull off the feat, since it had been many years since he had last done so.

Kick the Dog: The 2017 No Laughing challenge has a rare case of Tanaka being subjected to the batsu whip mere seconds after a Thai kick. A more blatant case with the animatronic robot dressed up as Chucky, which suddenly activates and yells at the guys, ending with "I AM HOSEI, HAHAHAHAHA..." after which it's Hosei that gets whipped. It's heavily implied that Hosei is going to keep getting whipped every time it says that until they can shut the doll down.

Playing Against Type
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_3a10b632
comment
Playing Against Type : In-universe. Often the schtick of various 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 — the mere fact of their participation is usually enough to crack the cast up. Another frequent tactic is the use of well-known dramatic actors, or at least comedians with Comically Serious screen personae, to play complete and total Cloudcuckoolanders. Most infamously, Sonny Chiba himself appeared as a hospital director who hopped out of a tanning bed in his office and handed out his e-mail address to the Gaki cast — it turned out to be a long string of random Engrish words including "Tarantino" and "California".

Foregone Conclusion: Many, many examples. The most obvious cases of these can be found in the various "trial" episodes, where a cast member is charged with a "crime" (Hamada was judged for his Comedic Sociopathy, Yamazaki was charged with being a coward, etc.). Do they have a chance in Hell of getting away with it? Of course not; this is the Gaki no Tsukai court of justice! The punishments themselves are also suitable foregone conclusions. What was Yamazaki's punishment for being a "plagiarist" of fashion styles and so on? Why, a slap from Masahiro Chouno of course!

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Gaki no Tsukai crew plus Inomoto and "Vacuum" Fujiwara (from comedy duo License) against real-life Big Eater Natsuko "Gal" Sone in a big eating "7 Men, 7 Kilograms of Food" contest. The Gaki crew had to resort to altering the rules and even outright ignoring said rules, and Sone still leaves them in the dust. That being said, Gaki crew had some serious handicap in the form of both Hamada and Matsumoto eating before the contest, putting them basically out of the running. Meanwhile, the much-vaunted Vacuum Fujiwara isn't living up to the name, for some reason. During the revenge qualifier after the 24-Hour Tag Batsu, Endo, Tanaka, Yamasaki and Hamada challenged Matsumoto again in a 4 versus 1 sports matchnote Previously, Cocorico, Yamazaki and Hamada performed a four-person relay race against Matsumoto's single sprint run. Matsumoto won by a hairsbreadth, sending the team into the infamous 24-Hour Tag Batsu. This time, the race was a 100-meter swimming race, and similar to the one before, the team does a relay race while Matsumoto has to swim all the way. By the time Hamada reaches the finish line, Matsumoto has just barely cleared the halfway mark.

Long Runner: Both the show itself - having started in 1989, it's as old as the likes of The Simpsons and Red Dwarf - and Downtown themselves. While Matsumoto had at least one owarai partnernote A segment has him meet up with his former partner - now the married owner of a Chinese restaurant - after thirty-five years apart before Hamada, the two of them, having met in elementary school have known each other for, at most, the better part of forty-five years.note The first grade of Japanese elementary school is at age 6 and, in 2018, the two of them are approaching their mid-fifties, with Matsumoto being a few months younger. For a western equivalent of the sheer level of seniority, clout and influence Downtown possess in the Japanese comedy scene, you'd have to look at the likes of Johnny Carson.

Funny Foreigner
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_434d893c
comment
Funny Foreigner: Somewhat goes together with Fun with Foreign Languages below, though none of the cases are extreme, and the cast tend to be on the receiving end of whatever's happening. One interesting case was in Hamada's 2003 Vladivostock batsu game, where he finally meets the Russian "secret gang." He reveals during the post-game talk that they had to do several retakes because the Russian actor's Japanese was excruciatingly bad. Averted in the 2007 No-Laughing hospital batsu game, where a foreign man enters a doctor's office with a translator... and speaks flawless colloquial Japanese. Matsumoto's Stair Helpers in the 2011 Airport Batsu. David Hossein, a/k/a Konya ga Yamada, whose entire shtick on the show involves repeating (and horribly mispronouncing) his pseudonym and saying absolutely nothing else. An example which seems effective for the main cast are the black people used to garner laughs by being placed in traditionally Japanese roles, such as Watanabe-Kun, the fainting student from No Laughing School, the Shinto priest and sushi chef from No Laughing Yugawara, and "Black Bob" from No Laughing Hot Springs. The foreign actors used to mete out punishments for many of the Kiki challenges (e.g. Germans in the Beer episode, Brazilians from the Coffee episode, Indians from the Curry episode). In a more meta-example, the reason why Americans find the show funny. Any time where they require Claudia Umemiya to star in live productions of American movies.

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. It's been a thing since the very early days of Gaki no Tsukai. One example is the prank to ignite fireworks while Yamazaki is locked in a phone booth. Yamazaki looked really, really bad afterwards, causing Matsumoto to actually show concern. This is of course, the worked shoot; Yamazaki and Hamada agreed beforehand to prank Matsumoto in the guise of pranking Yamazaki. Sure enough, Hamada then shows up with a "Punk'd!" board. A similarly early example has Yamazaki being cornered by a Yakuza-looking person in a small room and being forced to get out to settle things "man to man". Hamada and co. appears after Yamazaki very nearly crapped his pants.

Four Is Death: Invoked in Yamazaki's Haunted Piano Recital. He's made to perform in the fourth room on the fourth floor of a school. He is tasked with playing four songs, thus necessitating four trips through the school, with the last performance taking place at four in the morning.

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.

Early-Installment Weirdness : What with the show's Long Runner status. Some newer (non-Japanese) fans are surprised to learn that Matsumoto used to have a full head of hair, or that the cast used to do actual sports challenges occasionally, or than Jimmy Onishi was a regular cast member at one point, or that Coq Au Rico were only added to the cast in the mid-'90s, etc.

Million to One Chance
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_5b12f598
comment
Million to One Chance: In a revival of their Gorenjai skits, the entire Gaki crew had to don one color of five Gorenjai costumes inside a booth, with the goal of having everyone donning a different color. While they do have six hours to do so, keep in mind that the probability of five people wearing five different colors is 24 in 625, or 3.84%! note The odds that the second guy will pick a different color from the first is 4 in 5. If this does happen, then the odds the third guy picks a different color from both of the first two is 3 in 5, and so on until the last guy only has a 1 in 5 chance. The overall odds are therefore 4/5 * 3/5 * 2/5 * 1/5 = 24/625. Alternately, there are 5! = 120 ways to distribute one of each color, and 55 = 3125 different combinations possible with replacement, which yields the same result (120/3125 = 24/625) They actually did it with minutes to spare, and this is unscripted. Better yet, by sheer dumb luck, they were actually one Ranger away from a full set of five on their first attempt. However, they were literally Tempting Fate when later, they added the Ameagari duo and expanded the costumes to 7 colors (including black and white). The probability this time balloons to 720 in 117,649, or 0.612%. Needless to say, they had to bow down to statistics; six hours were not enough for them to actually complete this.

Can't Get Away with Nuthin' : With a little dose of Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin' During the No Laughing Spy batsu game, Endo finds a panel with a photograph of a waitress he asked out. The waitress is really a mole planted by the staff. Two years later in the No Laughing Enthusiastic Teachers batsu, he finds a magazine with photos of him courting the waitress in question. Endo is later put on a sham trial for sending lurid text messages to her and another female TV presenter, and compounding the offence by asking his ex-wife, Chiaki, to help him cover it up.

Names to Run Away from Really Fast
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_60fa92ac
comment
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Masahiro Chouno. The mere presence of him in the same scene as the regular cast means someone is gonna be in a lot of pain soon... and they know it. Most of the time, it's Yamazaki. 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 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. Tanaka and the word "Thai Kick."

Caught with Your Pants Down
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_657f77e4
comment
Caught with Your Pants Down : Specially when they have to go to the restroom; other times, someone will pull down their pants. The Yugawara Onsen batsu game: When Tanaka, Hamada, and Yamazaki are in the dressing room, two old men in swim trunks, one of approximately Tanaka's height and build and the other of Yamazaki's, each walk into the room and remove their swim trunks (revealing a second pair of swim trunks underneath) and hand them to the player sized similarly to them. When Hamada gets his, however, the person wearing them turns out to be Matsumoto — who promptly drops trou to reveal that he is NOT wearing another pair of trunks underneath. This, of course, results in one or more of the players busting out laughing, at which point Matsumoto pulls the suit back on and waits for the offending player(s) to get whipped... after which he disrobes again. This was made funnier for the viewing audience by the addition of a ringing doorbell sound every time Matsumoto pulled his trunks down. It gets even worse — as the old men are being dismissed, Matsumoto trips and "accidentally" flashes his taint at Hamada. After getting up, Matsumoto pauses to rip an impressive fart before he finally leaves the room.

The Everyman : Tanaka. Referenced during the gossip section of the 2009 Hotel Batsu, and lampshaded again in the Airport Batsu. Tanaka's Breakdown series makes this a plot point, especially the first one, after Matsumoto revealed that he wouldn't want to be reborn as Tanaka due to how boring he looks. Tanaka looks devastated and the series seeks to subvert this image.

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. Matsumoto pulls this also on the Yurusenai Hanashi series. 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.

Laser-Guided Karma: In the Earth Defense Force batsu, Hosei tries to sell out Tanaka to the ONIs. The ONI not only punishes Hosei instead, but he quickly gets caught by the next ONI that punishes with wedding car cans, which attracts even more ONIs. Not only others shun him immediately for this, but his cans get tangled in some stars handrails, leaving him at the mercy of other ONIs, at least until he bit thru the lines and managed to escape. The qualifier for Yugawara Batsu Game was the Wasabi Sushi Russian Roulettenote Whomever gets a wasabi-laced sushi gets sent to the batsu game, and the qualifier ends when either Hamada or Matsumoto gets the wasabi sushi. During the second-to-last round, Tanaka was put out of the running when he bit into a salmon sushi. Assuming that the same type of sushi isn't laced with wasabi more than once, Hamada gets the last salmon sushi assuming it to be safe, much to the others' chagrin. In the most improbable turn of event, that same sushi is also laced with wasabi, getting Hamada sent out and ending the qualifier. Even Matsumoto remarks that it was akin to "old stories" (when evil is vanquished) due to how much of a laser-guided karma it was.

comment
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.

Broke Episode: Producer Suga tells the group that due to a bit of "overspending" in the last episode, the budget for the current episode will only allow the crew to go to a family restaurant for some B-Roll footage and Suga assuming full video editorial duties. The segment shows the crew in a relaxed setting with Suga's edits claiming uncouth things about each individual member.

A Day in the Limelight: The special episodes often feature people that are not members of Gaki no Tsukai per se, such as stage director Heipo, producer Nakamura and producer Kenji Suga. This also occurs in some of the regular episodes. One series for example focuses on Heipo going out on dates with different women (one is Ayako Nishikawa) and seeking advice from the regular cast. Suga also makes appearances in these episodes to comfort the women after Heipo screws up the dates.

Another frequent tactic is the use of well-known dramatic actors, or at least comedians with Comically Serious screen personae, to play complete and total Cloudcuckoolanders. Most infamously, Sonny Chiba himself appeared as a hospital director who hopped out of a tanning bed in his office and handed out his e-mail address to the Gaki cast — it turned out to be a long string of random Engrish words including "Tarantino" and "California".

Loophole Abuse: Technically, the No Laughing challenge starts when the guys board that bus at the beginning... meaning that whoever is dumb enough to get on first is at risk of being left up there while everyone outside is spared of any batsu. Most of the time it's Matsumoto.

Toilet Humour : Now and then. One challenge in particular involves the five cast members going to a posh restaraunt, with the obstacle being that they can only be served when they emit an audible fart. Hilarity Ensues when Yamazaki takes all the courses early on and Coq Au Rico are reduced to sitting in odd positions on the floor in a bid to force something out. In 2004's batsu game at the Yugawara Hot Springs, after giving Hamada a pair of swim trunks right off his own body, a naked Matsumoto is leaving the room when he first pratfalls with his butt high in the air, then, after getting up, lets loose a loud fart towards everyone present.

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.

Color-Coded Characters: The five cast members are each associated with a particular colour. Matsumoto is red, Hamada is blue, Yamazaki is green, Endo is orange/yellow and Tanaka is purple/pink. This can be seen in the show's colouring of dialogue subtitles, and is all but confirmed in the 2009 Hotel Batsu game. Strangely this is reversed with Yamazaki and Tanaka's apron colours in 'Zettai ni Oishii', being Pink and Green respectively.

comment
Hope Spot: Given in the 2008 No Laughing Special. Poor Yamazaki is sure that he's not going to be the one slapped by Masahiro Chouno, but suddenly someone told Chouno that his kid is injured; the same kid that Yamazaki bumped into earlier... and just as Tanaka was about to get slapped. Avoided from 2009 and thereafter. Chouno will somehow choose him. In the new Detective Batsu, It seems it's gonna be Hamada the one to be slapped by Chouno for being a new generation of Phantom Thief X. Just as the slap timer is down to three, Conan appears and (in light of new evidence (and having Chouno chisel away at the bust sculpture of Phantom Thief X with a hammer)) reveals that the real culprit is Hosei. This of course ends with Hosei getting slapped by Chouno.

No Name Given: The Muay Thai practitioner responsible for the Thai Kick actually appears in a secret DVD in the 2017 No Laughing challenge, but credited only as 'Thai Kick'. Thai Kick is Torsu na Nontachai, a Muay Thai dojo owner with three decades worth of experience - which means that people are able to learn how to Thai Kick by being taught by Thai Kick - and has even starred in some Japanese commercials.

Torture Cellar: Borders on Cold-Blooded Torture with Heipo stuck in a shipping container (furnished like a studio apartment) for 24 hours, for the duration of the Hotel batsu, with live feed for the regular cast.

Double Subverted in the 2017 No Laughing challenge based on the US police, where Hamada is instead dressed up as Eddie Murphy from Beverly Hills Cop (with blackface and everything). After they reach the office, Hamada is called away and returns in the "traditional" wig and skirt version of the guys' uniform.

Serial Escalation
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_ce104b8e
comment
Serial Escalation: The Labor Union and the Administrators in the Airport Batsu game argue who is superior, and thus solve a labor dispute, by doing a challenge more outlandish than the previous one, from getting hit on the face by a bottle rocket, to eating boiling noodles with the bare hands, to trying to move snakes into a box and getting bit in the process, to setting off gigantic wads of nitrocellulose flash paper in their buttcracks. That wasn't the first time, and was not the last time either. It is in fact a Running Gag to set up comedians by groups, lead by Degawa and Ueshima, and duke it out with tests of courage that actually do result in, at least, minor injuries, including burns. Nevertheless, it's all Played for Laughs.

Hoist by His Own Petard
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: Matsumoto's attempts at intentionally making the others laugh usually backfire on him and he gets punished as well. Hosei's attempts to get the others laugh by dressing as 'Hentai Kamen', during the Prison batsu, backfire spectacularly when it's revealed that Ebisu had actually pissed on the underwear he was wearing for a mask. And again in the Detective Batsu, where upon seeing Hosei in the Kekko Kamen costume, Matsumoto pulls out a card and invokes 10 minutes of "Joint Liability." In essence, if any one of the four laugh, everyone get punished, not just the people that laughed. Because of the Kekko Kamen mask, it's easy for Hosei to laugh and the watchers won't see it (which has been pointed out in past Batsus anytime Hosei is in disguise that obscures his face). Hosei literally goes thru hell as he is punished on his nearly bare buttocks.

Limited Lyrics Song
 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_db26451e
comment
Limited Lyrics Song: The show's opening titles in 2017note And perhaps earlier. The introductory song many western fans know is Coldcut's ''Theme From "Reportage"'' and it's tricky - especially if one doesn't speak Japanese - to find just when they switched from one song to the other., whose only lyrics are "Gaki no Tsukai!!"

 Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende / int_de306ba6

Worst Aid: The 2017 No Laughing challenge. After Hosei goes through a particularly skimpy wardrobe change, the other guys realise they have to do something once the repeated batsu whippings cause welts to appear on Hosei's unprotected cheeks. They find a minifridge in the office, which leads up to Endo putting ice blocks directly on Hosei's bare ass. And Matsumoto tries covering Hosei's ass with his medicated menthol oil which just makes it sting worse!

Manchild: Yamazaki, basically. From choosing kid-friendly ingredients during Absolutely Tasty segments, being the fastest to pout when things don't go his way, proclaiming himself as Boy Genius ("Tensai Shounen") and even flat-out crying when he got slapped during Kiki Curry segment. This gets lampshaded when Matsumoto pretty much labels him "Obocchama Geinin" (Bratty Celeb).

Disguised in Drag : Fujiwara in every major Batsu game. The main cast in the hospital and airport batsu games; Hamada gets the worst of it, being given large fake boobs and a shorter skirt than everyone else. In the Earth Defense Force Batsu, Hamada is made to wear the women's version of the EDF uniform, complete with short skirt, stockings, and pageboy wig, while the other four are attired in the men's version. Double Subverted in the 2017 No Laughing challenge based on the US police, where Hamada is instead dressed up as Eddie Murphy from Beverly Hills Cop (with blackface and everything). After they reach the office, Hamada is called away and returns in the "traditional" wig and skirt version of the guys' uniform.

Jerkass : Hamada can be rather cruel when he's in charge of dishing out punishment. Matsumoto's style in similar situations is less outright sadistic, and more purely cold-blooded. This has more or less been Character Development for Matsumoto in recent years, where the show has shifted from a 'Matsumoto vs. Hamada' format to a 'Matsumoto and Hamada vs. everyone else' format. See Magnificent Bastard on the YMMV page.

Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Played straight or subverted, depending on your point of view; Downtown is credited with bringing a more conversational and improvisational style to the previously rigidly-structured manzai routine. The "Free Talk" segments on Gaki no Tsukai are always an excellent example. That being said, they still refer themselves as a Boke and Tsukkomi combi.

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 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 horned turban liver, a bear's paw, a tuna's head and the skin of a pig's face.

Would Hit a Girl: Hamada, during one of the bus stops in the Earth Defense Force batsu game, smacks the head of the female half of the W Cheesecake comedy duo at one point during their skit. On one occasion, Tanaka finally gets to exact some Thai Kick vengeance. Dressed up in full Muay Thai gear, he delivers kicks - complete with a run-up due to his lack of experience - to all and sundry, including two female celebrities. Then Thai Kick himself shows up. Fully expecting the alarm to go off and and announce his next victim, Tanaka stands up to him. And then....

One Silent Library session ends with the guys doing something different for the final batsu, as they leave the cards in a pile and each draw a card one by one, dragging it out like some other reality shows, complete with a Commercial Break Cliffhanger when they're down to the last two. Somehow the skull card is still the last one drawn.

comment
Fun with Subtitles: The "do not try this at home" disclaimers are frequently phrased as reasons why the Gaki cast can do things that the audience shouldn't do. Most of these, when not Blatant Lies, are obvious insults directed at the cast themselves. In one case, the subtitles proclaim (among other things) that Tanaka's all right because he never gets dizzy, that Matsumoto's not in real pain because he gets a gigantic paycheck and because the fire on his ass is actually CGI, that Heipo's not in real pain because he's actually CGI, that Yamazaki actually likes the taste of Tabasco (which is why they gave him a plate full of pasta soaked in it), and that Hamada can survive Groin Attacks because he has a small dick, although he still has to pretend that the attack actually hit him.

Musical Trigger: The dramatic "DUN-DUUUUUN!" sting that plays whenever someone laughs in the No Laughing Batsu Games. Given that this is a 24-hour game being played by five comedians, it isn't uncommon to have the alarm play hundreds of times every year. The only thing stopping the number of replays from hitting four figures is how the announcer will call offenders out in groups or simply say "EVERYONE, OUT!" if there's no innocent party at the time. And, in 2016's Science Lab game, Matsumoto even manages to seemingly summon it on cue.
