If you’ve kept abreast of our Japan tag, you know we like to occasionally highlight the glorious insanity that is Japanese TV. Now we have another surreal clip to highlight, and it’s as if someone applied Source Filmmaker to a set of four Real Dolls.
The video comes from Vermilion Pleasure Night, a Japanese variety show filled with recurring comedy segments. The clip below is from the “Cathy’s House” segment, which aired in 2000 and features four women with clothing, surroundings, and mannerisms similar to Barbie dolls. They play out scenarios which could have been scripted by some of my childhood friends playing with their dolls. If you didn’t have any female friends to watch play with dolls, you missed out. It would always devolve into a slap fight, a dance number, and somebody getting arrested. Much like my family Thanksgivings.
Check out the videos and GIFs below to admire that precious chair.

There’s an American release of 3 DVD’s for Vermillion Pleasure Nights. It is well worth checking out. I don’t know if anything else is quite as good as “Cathy’s House”, but it’s still damn funny.
You drop a nuke on a country and then things get weird
I would like nothing more than to sex them both.
Finally! I thought this was a manifestation of my mind brought on by some sort of drug induced binder, thanks for proving I’m not completely insane.
Okay, I’m just going to say it.
Japan is waaay better at making Asians look like white people than Hollywood is at making white people look like Asians.
(Wachowskis, I’m looking in your direction…)
Dear Japan: no, the point with the Drew Carey show was that she looked terrible slathered in color like that.
