Japanese Mario skit with a guest appearance by Obama

Twice a year in Japan, on a popular TV show called Kinchan no Kasotaisho, viewers compete for the most creative and well executed skits orchestrated via props by teams in disguise. Some of the entries are just amazing &mdash you may have seen the ping pong one on YouTube, but one of my favorites is this reenactment of Super Mario with a cameo appearance by President Obama from earlier this year.

Brilliant. Is there a name for these kinds of shows? I see shorts of them from time to time and fall in love with them, but then they never call.

This is a funny show. Good thing that the Japan is showcasing the talents of their people in this kind of business. I once see Kinchan no Kasotaisho but I’ve missed this Super Mario with a cameo appearance by President Obama. They have probably get some cash advance to futher enhance their creations and do such quality props to be presented to their audience. Hope to see more updates on this show!! Thanks a lot.
