This long-time comedy show of Japanese TV has been long been a staple of Sunday afternoons. It's going strong since 1966, when first aired. Seven traditional Japanese "Rakugo" comedians, one being the host delivering jokes and gags. The host gives the topics and the patterns of the jokes and the participating 6 improvises on them. They are awarded by one (sometimes two) "Zabuton" cushions to sit on if delivered a neat joke, and punished by one (or two, or all) of their cushions being taken by the long time-serving zabuton-carrier Takao Yamada (Yamada-kun) if they are to make a lame joke...sometimes jokes aimed at Yamada-kun is forcibly punished by himself.
