Batsu game

A Batsu game (罰ゲーム, "batsu geemu"), meaning "punishment game", is a common element in Japanese "owarai" stage comedy and variety shows.

A "batsu game" is usually a competition or quiz in which the loser is punished. A typical "batsu game" is to drink some sort of strong-tasting or foul liquid, such as pure vinegar. "Batsu" also signifies the symbol "X" in Japanese, which means a wrong answer.
