they have a particular naive sincerity that's absolutely endearing. guess that's why things like Iron Chefs and Hey Hey Hey and other japanese shows can pull off goofy show concepts. somehow they aren't uber extreme angst ridden in your face hyper aggresive americans and that allows goofy pretexts to be somewhat believable and entertaining. the illusion isn't broken, you feel included in the buffoonery. unfortunately american reality TV and goofy shows just are so irritating. somehow the people involved in their creation have no understanding how to pull innocent humor off. and then american contestants are generally annoying, for said reason above.

americans have their endearing points, but there's too many mooks that just get on your last nerve.
