- Whoa, whoa, wha-- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What?!
- I cannot believe there's a show centered around that.
♪ (rock intro) ♪
- (FBE) Have you ever been watching a TV show and just thought
to yourself, "Who on earth made this?" - Yeah. (laughs)
- I have. Actually, yes. - Half of reality TV,
I always ask that. - (FBE) Well, today,
we're gonna show you 10 reality shows from around the world
that might be hard to believe they actually exist.
- Oh my god. This is exciting. - Oh, I cannot wait to watch these.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What?! - Oh, I've seen this.
- What is that? A chocolate shoe? - I would never have guessed
by looking at that. - "Guests have to put
their taste buds to the test." - I've actually seen this,
where it's like things that don't look good,
but you taste it, and it's actually made out of food.
- "By biting inanimate objects and finding out"-- what?!
Okay, this is kind of cool. I'd watch this.
- (chuckles) That's a real shoe, right? That's a real sho--
That is totally a real shoe. (laughs)
- Is that a shoe or chocolate? That's a shoe. That's an actual shoe.
- And a door handle? Ah! You could break your teeth doing that.
- Oh my goodness. I cannot believe there's a show
centered around that. - Whoever thought of that...
just was definitely somewhere else. - This is something I'd watch.
What is this called, so I can look it up?
- (FBE) So, that was a Japanese show called Candy or Not Candy,
where contestants have to bite into objects in a room
to see if they're real or if they're made of candy.
- I don't know why Jimmy Kimmel hasn't done this yet.
- Didn't Jimmy Fallon do this?
- (Jimmy) Is it food or is it...?
- (Kendall) No. - (all laugh)
(buzzer)
- It's cool. I would totally watch it. - The internet is filled
with videos like that. And reality TV and the internet
are just very mixed in together. - (Bradbury) Remember, stop the clocks
and whatever you do, don't scare the hare. Good luck!
- (in "English" accent) Don't scare the hare.
- (announcer) ...90 seconds until the sun comes up.
Keep that hare asleep, Sammy! - This looks like so much fun.
- And he's in a sleeping bag. - Oh, and he has to jump around.
Well, that's kind of cute.
- This looks like a weird dream. - There's no way this is
an entire show. - Oh, he fell.
- Go! - (announcer) If it turned red,
they're about to go... - Oh, no! Get it! Get it!
Oh! (laughs) - (announcer) Oh, no!
The hare is scared! - (in "English" accent) He scared
the hare. (chuckles)
- (announcer) He's got out of bed, and he's heading off.
- Okay, this is weird. This is very creepy,
and I don't like it.
- Remind me not to scare the hare. - It was amusing at first,
until the hare got up. It's like, "No!"
- (FBE) That was a British show called Don't Scare the Hare.
- I mean... cool, I guess. - That would give me anxiety.
(chuckles) - That's kind of clever and cute.
And the little figures are adorable. - I would not have guessed that
this was a show before today. - (host) There are three things
you need to know about this show. - "Shattered."
- I think I've watched this, not on TV, but on YouTube,
- (host) Over the next week, 10 people are going to go
without sleep. - The next week?!
- Okay. This is the one that I think I'd wanna be on.
- (host) There's 100,000 pounds at stake.
- Let's go. Where do I apply? - I don't care if it's 100,000
dollars or pounds or whatever it is, no.
Don't deprive me of sleep. - (host) The group have now clocked up
25 and a half hours without sleep. - This is insane.
- (host) ...be tested to the limit. When you wanna sleep,
a long, boring activity is the hardest to...
- Oh. So, they're trying to get them to fall asleep?
- (host) This is Joe. He's an expert on triangles.
♪ (dramatic music) ♪ - On triangles?
♪ (dramatic music) ♪ - What?
♪ (dramatic music) ♪ - (chuckles)
- (host) He's going to test them by sharing
his love of three-side shapes with the group for one hour
in his most boring monotone voice. - I'm already falling asleep.
- I would definitely watch this. - (FBE) That was
a show called "Shattered"... - Yes.
- (FBE) ...that aired in the UK, where 10 contestants are
all challenged to stay awake for seven days
to win a crash prize. - Horrid torture.
- I know that after 72 hours of staying awake, you are
considered mentally insane. And it's just not healthy.
- There's a lot of shows that play around
with the no sleep idea, but seven days?
No one's making it. - (voice-over) 12 American girls
searching for love. - Oh, no.
- (voice-over) ...into an English castle...
- Whoa. - (voice-over) ...with an ordinary guy,
who is pretending to be a prince. - So, this is the look-alike
they used. I heard about this one.
- (Paul) Sir is going to arrive by helicopter,
and the ladies are gonna be gently having afternoon tea...
- Oh, no! - (Paul) ...someone who looks
very well-known step out. He'll be rushed away,
and they then will spend hours debating who they think its.
- (laughs) That's great. - (Paul) ...who they think it is.
- Wow! You ass. That's [bleep] up.
- (snickers) - (woman) Is that who I think it is?
- Prince Harry, but it's not. - (Karina) Like, who is this guy?
- It's not. It's his double. It's a guy that really looks like him.
- Basically, it's The Bachelorette without a real bachelor.
- (FBE) So, that was an American show that aired on Fox called
I Wanna Marry Harry, where 12 American girls
think they're competing for Prince Harry's love,
but it's actually just a regular guy named Matthew.
- That is hilarious. - At some point,
once you see him up close, you gotta realize that's not him.
- (host) In a few minutes, a couple will enter this box,
they'll have sex... - What?!
- (host) ...they'll have sex and then immediately...
...they'll have sex and then immediately afterwards
come out and talk frankly about what they did.
- Oy vey. - (host) ...a panel
of internationally renowned sex experts and in front
of our studio audience. Welcome to Sex Box.
- Whoa, what? - Who does this?!
- It'll be honest. - (man) It was just
one big massive challenge and never again,
'cause I nearly passed out. - (man) I'd like to ask,
if I may, what kind of sex you had in there.
- My ears! (laughs) - (host) And for some viewers,
possibly uncomfortable. - Yes.
- (woman) Did you have anal sex? - (chuckles)
- "Did you have anal sex"?! I'm shook right now.
- (host) ...experts hold a grownup conversation about sex.
- Uh...
(giggles nervously) I don't know what to say here.
(laughs) My parents are watching. - (FBE) All right, so that was
British television series Sex Box, where participants.... well,
they do exactly what she said in the video that you just watched.
And in the interest of keeping this video monetized,
I will not explain this one any further.
- I think I got the point. - They're pushing the envelope
way too far for my tastes. All limits are off these days.
- Of course people would watch that. Of course that's a thing.
- I've heard that the UK does kind of...
edgier kind of shows. - (voice-over) After seven days
of intensive training... - (Brendan) Lie down.
- Ohh! Puppy.
- Is this a show about training a dog to herd sheep?
- (Brendan) Lie down! I don't actually know how to do this.
I have to really change my personality
to try and control the dog. - Huh?
- Okay, I don't even know what the [bleep] is going on.
- (voice-over) He and Hoggy made fast progress.
And the dancing shepherd started to cast his eyes on the prize.
- People actually watch this? - Is it a reality show
about someone who needs to train a dog who herds?
That's awesome. - (FBE) So, that was 100% real
British TV series Flockstars, where celebrity guests battle it out
to see who can be the best shepherd. The show did not get picked up
for a season two. - (chuckles) Dang it.
- I think that's a great theme. - Who is coming up with this?!
- I would not have believed this show existed before today.
Maybe it's just me, but I think that's so interesting.
I'm gonna have to go and find season one. (chuckles)
- (voice-over) This remote village in the eastern Czech Republic
is the location of the new reality TV series
on Czech Republic TV. It's called Holiday in the Protectorate.
- Holiday in the Protectorate? - (voice-over) The show sends
three generations of a family back to the time
of the Nazi occupation. - No.
- (voice-over) ...Nazi occupation. - This would be scary.
- (voice-over) ...recreating the circumstances in the Protectorate
of Bohemia and Moravia... - Why--
- (voice-over) ...after Germany invaded Czechoslovakia...
- God, that's scary! - (voice-over) ...after Germany
invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939. - Ooh, yeah. Right.
And have the bad guys come in and search and tear up their place.
- (voice-over) The family was told only that they would
be living... - Oh my god.
- (voice-over) ...sometime in the past.
- That sounds intense. - I would get this if it was
for an educational purpose. But for entertainment?
Uh, I'm a little lost. - (FBE) So, that was a show
created by Czech Television called Holiday in the Protectorate.
The seven members of the family are very real, but the rest
of the characters in the show are actors.
- Right, like the Germans that come in and tear up their place
searching for contraband or whatever they think
they're hiding. Yes. Right. - (FBE) So, for obvious reasons,
this show was pretty controversial. - Oh, I bet.
I think it's really interesting. - That sounds made up.
- We don't need to relive those times. - This definitely requires sensitivity
and context. - (host) Your cash is locked
in a tiny briefcase... - Oh! Oh my god!
- (host) ...smallest security vault.
- Whoa, whoa, wha-- Whoa! Whoa!
- (host) ...small security vault. To retrieve your winnings...
- Okay. - (host) ...the case off the pole.
However, the pole is electrified. - So, this is Operation,
but with a briefcase. - (host) ...activate the alarm.
- Oh my goodness. - (host) If that happens,
you and your team will leave with nothing.
- All right. So, you have to have a really steady hand.
- I bet that broke up a lot of friendships.
- (FBE) So that was small but mighty UK TV series
called Smallest Fortune. The show was actually picked up
by NBC and will be hitting American screens soon.
- No way?! I'd totally watch it on TV.
- Oh my god. I'm so excited. I have to record this.
- (host speaking foreign language) - Okay.
This is not a show. Wait. (chuckles)
- Oh, I'm nervous about this.
- I wish I knew what was happening. - Oh, is this like a prank?
Like a Pranked show? - Okay, this looks distur--
oh, [bleep].
- What do they do? They do a plant a body in their cars?
- I'm so confused. - (voice-over) Axe Ur Ex.
- "Axe Ur Ex." What is this? - (FBE) So, that was
Indian TV show Axe Ur Ex, where people come on the show
in order to prank their exes with wacky, but sometimes
over-the-line pranks. - Yeah. Wow.
- So, the concept of the show is pranking your ex.
- (FBE) Yes. - That, I get.
This?
(groans) - This has to be
the pettiest show ever. - This is like Punk'd
or any of those other shows, but just times a million.
- (host speaking Japanese) - I saw this on Instagram.
- I've seen this on Twitter. (laughs) - Is it just me or do I watch
all the Japanese reality TV shows? Because I've seen this.
- This was so much fun to watch! - What are they stepping on? Soap?
- Is that ice? - And they look like they're barefoot!
- They've oiled up those stairs, and they have to find their way up.
- They look like the Power Rangers. - Does anybody succeed?
- No! He took him back. - Oh, no! (laughs)
- No! (laughs) - Just the sound effects
make them look like cartoons. (chuckles) Boing!
- Yeah, you could really strategize correctly
by hitting other people on the way down.
- What I love about this is that it's ultimately harmless.
- He's getting up there. - Oh, if he falls,
that's gonna be so sad. - Is he gonna make it?
No! - Don't fall. Don't fall.
Oh, no! He was right up to the last--
- You saw how Blue jumped, though? - Go him.
What the hell was that? - (FBE) All right. So, that was
Japanese game show Slippery Stairs, which is pretty much exactly
what you think it is. - Simple but so great
at the same time. - (FBE) All right. So finally,
of the bizarre reality TV shows that we showed you today,
which of them would you be most inclined to actually watch?
- Oh, I'd watch the one about the sheep herder with the dog.
- Axe Ur Ex one just because that seems so freaking entertaining.
- Candy or No Candy. I totally would like to be in that,
'cause you never know!
Is this laptop chocolate?
(click) ...No.
- Thank you for watching this totally normal episode of The Tens.
