The Dutch Widen The Game Show Gag Gap

Patty Brad and Holly Mae Brood from the Dutch game show, 'Wie Ben Ich?" Not sure who's who, unfortunately.

The gag seen above is, if I recall correctly, from a Dutch TV game show, identified variously as "Wie Ben Ick" or "Gordon va. Jandino. I don't know much else about the show, but there’s one thing I damn sure do know: it’s not a U.S. game show.

I know that because those are real ballgags. Far too freaky for US game shows.

I don’t believe there have even been leather plug gags worn on any US TV game show in any way shape or form. The Dutch are forging ahead of us in this important cultural milestone, while our leaders stand idly by and watch us fail. For shame, American TV producers, for shame!
