A peculiar show featuring latex-clad men, who look like Power Rangers trying to climb a slippery staircase, has reportedly been on Japanese TV since 1991, but only now it has become a sudden world-wide hit.
A clip from the show called "Slippery Stairs" was shared to YouTube by the Just Wow Me channel on November 18 and has been watched almost 1.5 million times. In the video, several participants of the show are struggling to reach the top of the ladder smeared with some kind of slime but fail constantly.
The only thing the stunned viewers are now regretting is that they didn't know about this hilarious TV program earlier.
