Silent Library
Ok, Silent Library is an MTV game show adapted from a segment on a Japanese variety show (weird… Americans stealing a game show concept) where contestants work together as a team and endure a sequence of punishments while trying to remain quiet as long as possible so they can win more money.
Here’s a clip from the Japanese version… which isn’t technically a game show, but follows the same basic premise. The punishments are unusually cruel but holy shit are they ever hilarious.
