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.

I just discovered Aux yesterday. It’s a web-based video channel that calls itself “real music television”.  So far colour me impressed.  High quality video and a slew of shows hosted by Canadian musicians and music icons.  Really cool stuff.

Here’s one episode from a show called Strange Notes hosted by George Pettit from Alexisonfire.  This is part 1 of a 4-part show where he hangs out with Attack in Black in Welland, Ontario. Rockalicious.

Well I’ll be damned… Glaswegian comic Limmy has his own TV show on BBC Scotland.  If you’ve never seen Limmy before, watch this.  He’s been shooting videos for years and years and years. If you can understand what the hell he’s saying it’s really fucking funny.
