Downtown (ダウンタウン, ), the comedy duo of Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada, along with their comedy compatriots Housei Yamazaki and owarai duo Cocorico (Shozo Endou and Naoki Tanaka) are easily some the funniest people in the world. The best known Gaki no Tsukai episodes are those dealing with batsu games (punishment games) in which one or more of the cast members are subjected to physical consequences after losing bets, major competition, or physical challenges.
In the Kiki Series each of the comedians blindly samples a food or beverage product and then attempts to pick the match from an array of choices while trying to avoid punishment for failure.
In Episode 1 of the Kiki series, identifying one canned coffee out of many is the challenge that they face for a 100,000 yen prize (approximately $1,000)! Your challenge is to watch the episode and then answer six simple questions; your reward is a set of coordinates leading to a smiley!
