(In the living room)

Mordecai (calling to Rigby and Nico): Dudes, hurry! It's back! It's back!

Rigby (He and Nico enter the living room with snacks in his arms): Aah-ha-ha!

Nico : We're coming ! We're coming ! 

(On TV, a cute purple octopus appears with yellow Japanese words around it; after fooling around once, it gets scolded by a wagging finger; after fooling around twice, it gets punched in the face.)

TV Announcer: We now return to... "Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice, I Punch Your Face!"

(Cut to a clapping Japanese audience in a TV studio. A robot who looks like ASIMO, with a green computer screen for a face, appears onscreen holding a microphone.)

Announcerbot: Hai! (Japanese for "yes") I am Announcerbot!

(In the living room, Rigby and Nico join Mordecai on the couch.)

Mordecai: Whoo! Yeah!

Nico : Let's get it started !

Announcerbot: And now here's Shinehara!

Shinehara: Thank you, Announcerbot. I am game master Mitsuru Shinehara. ("MITS!" appears by Shinehara's head) Before break, Clive from U.K. fool me once...

Audience: SHAME... ON... YOU! (words 'SHAME ON YOU!' show up on the screen when simultaneously spoken)

(Benson enters the living room.)

Mordecai,Rigby and Nico : WH-O-O-O-OA!

Benson: What is this?

Mordecai: Japanese game show.

(A gong sounds. The same octopus appears, wearing a headband with a rising sun and holding a sign with a number 2 on it.)

Announcerbot: ROUND 2!

Shinehara: Now, Clive, try to fool me again.

Clive: Well, I'd like to, Shinehara-san, but you've got some food stuck between your teeth.

Shinehara: Oh! Announcerbot, please, fetch toothpick.

Clive: Ha ha! Fooled you, mate!

(Sirens sound and red alarm lights appear around Clive. The Japanese word for "terrific" (すごい! - sugoi!) appears on screen.)

Clive: Yeeah!

Shinehara: You! Fool! Me! Twice!

Voice: Baka Blitz! (Shown is a graphic of "BAKA BLITZ" to the right of Japanese characters ばか (baka) in parentheses, all in a yellow "shout bubble".)

Nico : Oh man here we go ! I know for sure this guy is gonna make it.

Mordecai: Dude, he's a goner. Nobody's ever completed the "Baka Blitz."

Nico : Hey it could happen.

(The walls of the TV studio set open up to reveal the Baka Blitz obstacle course, with a goal at the end.)

Shinehara: You have 10 minutes to reach goal and grab Mystery Prize. But if time runs out or you give up, I punch your face. (Shinehara makes a punching gesture, almost punching Clive's face.)

Rigby: What do you think the Mystery Prize is? I heard it's a billion yen, which is like a million dollars!

Mordecai: I heard it's an 800-pound tuna. You could buy a house with that in Japan.

Nico : Bro with that kind of tuna you could have a whole sushi restaurant with that fish 

Benson: You know what I heard? This show is GARBAGE!
