Puffy on Hey! Hey! Hey! Jurassic Park Episode

Anyways I had only ever seen the first 10 or so minutes of this episode of Hey! Hey! Hey! which takes place in Universal Studios Japan (Osaka).  So kind of a VERY large panel show with Puffy, Downtown, Amuro Namie and all of Morning Musume.  Anyways the folks at Gaki Archives posted this up and it is worth a watch as it is interesting and also way more zany than the panel shows I see these days. 

Watch it here: HEY! HEY! HEY! IN USJ (WITH AMURO NAMIE, PUFFY AND MORNING MUSUME) (ORIGINAL BROADCAST DATE: 22ND FEBRUARY 2002)

Some general observations:

Matsumoto and to a lesser degree Hamada sorta chew scenery to the point of stomping on every guest... it is their show but Amuro Namie and Puffy are certainly no slouches but way more low key.  It is Downtown's show and they are at the height of their legendary careers (they remain super busy these days FWIW).

Ami sorta turns it on in the movie guessing contest.  Not much out of Yumi.  Ami keeps her head mostly buried in the Jurassic Park ride and Yumi has all the reaction shots.

All involved seemed ot think it was scary, The funnier ranges of emotions from delight to fear were from Morning Musume.  

Amuro Namie is super chill, would probably be the most fun to hang out with.     

Morning Musume is comedic over reactions, cuteness and space filler for the episode as there is a musical segment with them. They did fine though and were split into three teams, one of which was pushing to win the movie contest in the back 2/3rd of the episode. 

As a note, they pull shenanigans with the last question, 100 points to whoever gets it which cemented Puffy (after AMi's heavy lifting) into second.  Downtown got a slamdunk to win out (Seriously movie that was old when Downtown was young). 

Anyways this episode is a lot of fun.

P.S. I have been more than a little lax about posting Puffy stuff.  I should as summer is their most active time anymore with festivals and tours... but work and family has kinda taken a front seat.  I'll try to post up more, even if it is more generic or for other groups... but Puffy is who really go me into jpop/jrock/jpunk so they'll always be firs tin my mind! :)
