My own ignorance to blame first time round. (Hate to admit it, but I had to Google "URL") Anyway, thanks for the help, Dag, and thanks for setting me straight, Krupo.

Mainly glad you enjoyed the vid - which, let's face it, is what it's all about.

Will now go and vote for myself, as Krupo suggests. Hell, everyone else does it (real life and virtual). At least I'll only vote once.

Thanks, Krupo. Haven't done this before and got misleading advice from Dag. (...Kidding, Dag. My mistake.) Have tried again; hope it works now and that you enjoy.

Actually, it’s funny as hell – but only if you live, or have lived, in LA. Dag, you summed it up: "tounge & cheek LA speak". Believe it or not, they really are like that. An inside joke for a local ad.

Thanks. Just tried. Hope it works.

How do you do that?! I'm still trying to work out how to post a clip.

I've never met a suit I would ever consider civil. However, my question was if anyone knew if anyone had ever had a heart attack/stroke as a result of one of these extreme pranks? Those of us on a certian age in the UK might remember the Noel Edmonds saturday night show debacle.

...Lurker?

Well, this is my first comment on Videosift, and I'm still not sure of the protocol. (Though I've been watching videos here and reading your comments for a while, so I feel I know you all oh-so-well.)

This clip brings warmth to my heart. When I was in boarding school I fell foul of a mildly similar prank: my bed having been taken to the middle of the lawn in front of the girls house before I (or, more importantly, they) wakened. Thank God there were no waterslides in the immediate vicinity.

More importantly: has anyone ever had a heart attack and/or stroke on one of these insane Japanese shows?
