HITOSHI MATSUMOTO Presents Documental

Invitation letters are being sent by Hitoshi Matsumoto. The comedians are chosen to fit Matsumoto's new plans. They all know what being invited to Documental means. Those comedians who can fork out the one-million-yen participation fee will have a laugh battle on the Documental stage. Having selected ten people to cross humors, a new battle will start.

You cannot be the winner unless you make others laugh. The comedians laugh one after the other as they make use of the ridiculous props they've prepared. A fierce battle rages on as they attack with laughter and resist the urge to laugh. There are those who, in the heat of battle, unintentionally detonate themselves into laughter. The first casualty is someone unexpected!

An hour and a half has passed since the beginning, and only one person has been eliminated. Not laughing is not good enough. You cannot win without earning points on offense. Laughs are had over props and the "small windows" from the closed room, introduced in this season. The comedians attack boldly, and people are eliminated one after another.

The comedians attack without mercy as the number of eliminated people increases, one by one. When you make others laugh, you run the risk of making yourself laugh. However, with the new rule, you cannot win unless you set your own traps and earn points. The battle rages on as the clock ticks toward zero with 10 million yen in sight.

With only 10 minutes remaining, the confrontation of the last two standing begins. Their pride as entertainers and their desire for the prize collide in a desperate struggle. Can they make their opponent laugh? Finally, a distinguished victor is decided!

Hitoshi Matsumoto once again has invitation letters delivered. Those expecting them rejoice. One person is surprised to receive it. Another is indecisive as to what to do. In the end, ten brave comedians have gathered. Season Three comes with brand new rules. How will they affect the game? After handing in the one million yen participation fee, the challengers go up on stage.

An early-issued Yellow Card ignites the fires in the comedians' souls. They make use of the props they brought along and show off their skills while also resisting the others' continuous attacks. By attacking, you yourself risk being caught up in the blast... As warning cards are given out left and right, an unexpected individual becomes the first to be eliminated.

The battle is now approaching the halfway point, which further fires up the comedians. The fact that no one is laughing weighs heavily on everyone's mind. Nonetheless, they must come up with material. Those individuals who did not rise up to the challenge and were eliminated will be returning to play out their tricks.

Things really heat up now that only half of the participants are left standing. Finally, for the first time, the new "Zombie Time" rule comes into play. Zombies come on-stage either alone or as teams to play the tricks they did not get a chance to play during the main battle. Due to this rule's destructive power, the number of eliminated individuals rises exponentially.

The remaining two must brave the strongest zombie attacks seen thus far. On one side are the two people who want to win glory and the prize, and on the other, it's the zombies. On top of that, there's the one-on-one battle between the remaining two. Will one of them claim the title in the aftermath of this intense battle? Or will the zombies win, leaving no contestants?

Matsumoto includes a combo in the mix. Neither knows that the other is participating. How will it all turn out? Penalty cards fly left and right early on in the uncharacteristically "laughter-ridden" atmosphere

The entertainers look for the perfect time to unleash their tricks. Letting your concentration waver for a moment is fatal, and penalty cards are dished out one after another. A trick prepared beforehand will cause a bloodbath.

We're halfway through the game with no eliminations. The action begins to intensify. Cookie attempts to stage the transformation technique he is so good at. The hard times continue for the participants.

Four hours in, and only one elimination. What is the correct strategy, and what will the others find funny? The entertainers rush to place all cards on the table and, in the confusion, a chaos of laughter ensues.

With only one hour left, the zombies begin their assault. More than half of the entertainers were still battling it out, but they now start being eliminated one after another. Will we finally have a winner?
