Batsu game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Batsu game (罰ゲーム, batsu geemu), meaning "punishment game", is a common element in Japanese owarai stage comedy and variety shows.
A batsu game is usually a competition or quiz in which the loser is punished. A typical batsu game is to drink some sort of strong-tasting or foul liquid, such as pure vinegar. Batsu also signifies the symbol "X" in Japanese, which means a wrong answer.
