Ep 110 Brave Participants
The comedians receive their invitations from Hitoshi Matsumoto. They are surprised, confused, excited, and nervous. Will they accept the invitation? How will they raise a million yen? Each of them struggles. Ten brave comedians gather in a room and Documental begins.
Ep 2First Dropout
A yellow card is given out right after the game starts. Jimmy Onishi proactively plays jokes on the others, but becomes their target in return. Some use props, some talk trash, but each of them try their best in their own way. Finally, the first victim drops out.
Ep 3More Dropouts
Everybody becomes nervous after the first red card. Daisuke Miyagawa is the first to change the atmosphere by playing a joke. Seeing this, others start their tricks as well, leading to a series of laughter. The battle becomes more fierce as red cards are given out and less people are left in the room.
Ep 4Death Match
Half of the participants are gone. Time is running short. Those left in the room are under so much pressure that some of them start to lose their minds. Who will win the big prize?
