Watch: The best and most ridic

A new game show called Slippery Stairs is garnering a fan base worldwide. This is probably the best and simultaneously the most ridiculous game show ever created -and its all happening in Japan.

The game show – which made its debut recently – consists of six people dressed in leotards (or Power Ranger suits?!), climbing stairs that’s been covered in lube. Their mission: The one who gets to the top first, wins.

Yes, you read that right.

Since a clip of the show made its way to YouTube, the game show has gone viral – and some say it should get international recognition because its just too funny and possibly a metaphor for this thing we call life. The video was initially shared by the YouTube account Just Wow Me. In the process, it’s clocked in over 2 million views on YouTube, and a bunch of new fans on social media.
