Tongue Twister Challenge From Hell

What is up with Japanese game shows? I don't understand them, but they're fun to observe from very very very very far away. How about this clip of a tonguetwister challenge. You do not want to be on the losing end of this battle.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers...

UPDATE: this is not a tongue twister. The Japanese teacher looked at it and said that it is a speed reading competition. They are reading about squid. The guys are her favorite comedian/gag men.

So let me get this straight...
Japanese men are saying, "I get forcefully jabbed in the crotch if I don't say a phrase fast enough? What is this show, I must be on it!"

Holy cow.

Will this work in my classes?

Helios said...

you could have a little spelling bee ... spell the engrish word correctly and use it in a sentence or subject yourself to the whack of death!
