Wetten dass...?

So normally I don't watch a lot of German television (other than Germany's Next Top Model, which is a million times better than ANTM and you can find on youtube with english subtitles here) since I don't own a television.

But a friend of mine showed me clips of this famous show on German television called Wetten dass...? (In english it means like do you bet that?...) and I have to say I am highly entertained.

It's a bit weird because the show only comes on once a month, but it'S still pretty cool. So people have some bizarro talent or skill (I mean like really too, it's creative what these people come up with) and then they bet they can do it in a certain time period or something. If they win they get money and sometimes a visiting celebrity has to do some sort of weird thingy as well. (If they lose I think nothing happens but I'm not sure actually...). There also some celebrity performances and stuff by actually well-known people.

I think the entertainment values though comes from the insane tasks people come up with.

My absolute favorite is this one. A guy bets he can guess a song just from looking at two muscle men flex their moobs to the beat. (I also like that one guy finds the humor in the situation while the other is all serious and german-like).



This guy who is singing an opera type song while 15 cars drive over him is also impressive (and he has really nice abs ;)



I foresee myself yet again wasting too much time on youtube...
