Media Week – Hole in the Wall

Hole in the Wall

Genre: Game show
Director: Ron de Moraes
Hosts: Brooke Burns & Mark Thompson
Channel: FOX If you've ever been to YouTube and searched for something called "Human Tetris", then you've probably laughed hysterically at the hilarity that ensues. "Human Tetris", actually known in Japan as "Brain Wall", is a game where a styrofoam cut-out is presented to a player, or group of players. This cut-out is attached to a moving platform which flies at the player(s). The players' job is to fit themselves through the cut-out in whichever way that it asks them to. If they fail, they get knocked back into a pool of water as their consequence. In Japan, or at least in the YouTUbe clips that are out there, it's a pretty simple and straight forward game, which usually ends up in getting many laughs from those around you in the room. Recently though, the game has been moving around from country to country, as most popular game shows do, and has finally ended up in America under the name of "Hole in the Wall".
