- #1291 - Costume TalkE7
#1291 - Costume TalkThe first Costume Talk for the year features the gang discussing their families' reactions while they watched the recent No Laughing special together, some apparent fortunetelling predicting many things for the gang in 2016, including that Hosei will return to competing in 'that famous battle' and a discussion on the future of Hamada Bamyu Bamyu. - #1292 - Jimmy Onishi Long Interview (Part 1)E8
#1292 - Jimmy Onishi Long Interview (Part 1)The third in the 24 hour long interview series (previously done by Hosei and Drunk Dragon's Suzuki), this week features one of the favorites of Gaki and former cast member Jimmy Onishi. Always a staple of the No Laughing series, Jimmy has been making more frequent appearances on regular TV, including a guest spot on Suiyoubi no Downtown last year. Having graduated from the show in February of 1996 to pursue his painting career, this marks the first time in 20 years since he last appeared on a weekly episode of the show. - #1296 - 7th I Think You Like This ItemE12
#1296 - 7th I Think You Like This ItemThe 'I Think You Like This Item' series makes its first appearance for 2016. The guest this week is Nakamura Tamao, a veteran actress who mostly interacts with Downtown through their Downtown DX show, where she is often teased for telling ridiculously long stories about her personal life. - #1297 - Sudden Japanese Dance Competition
E13#1297 - Sudden Japanese Dance CompetitionThis week involves the guys trying to come up with their own renditions of traditional Japanese dancing, despite not having experience in it. They will have to do their own makeup and learn the choreography by themselves. - #1301 - Rendezvous Game (Part 1)E17
#1301 - Rendezvous Game (Part 1)This week the guys split off to various places around Tokyo without their phones. All five members are shown a theme and are challenged to think about what place or object they would associate with that theme. They must then be able to meet up with the other members of the gang at the same places. Until all five are together at the same place, the challenge does not end. - #1303 - Impromptu Ghost Story InnE19
#1303 - Impromptu Ghost Story InnA concept proposed by Tanaka for this week's episode. Each member draws two cards randomly from a batch that has a word on it each (for example, maybe a story involving the word 'ghoul' and 'faceless') and from there, they must improvise a scary ghost story using those two words as the theme/basis. - #1305 - Hamada's Birthday Fuzakennayo DokkiriE21
#1305 - Hamada's Birthday Fuzakennayo DokkiriWe have a special episode to commemorate Hamada's 53rd birthday party with a twist. Keen observers of Gaki will note that Hamada tends to throw around the phrase 'ふざけんなよ' quite commonly whenever someone does a dumb/stupid thing; the phrase roughly translates to 'Don't screw around/be silly'. Well this episode will test the limits of how many times he will say it, with the theme of the episode being the gang and some guests bringing in an assortment of silly presents in an attempt to make him utter the phrase. - #1312 - 2nd Managers Sumo GOTTSUAN (Part 2)E28
#1312 - 2nd Managers Sumo GOTTSUAN (Part 2)This week concludes the 2nd GOTTSUAN tournament. Looks like Fujiwara is once again allowed a saloon passage through to the final battle. Who will he fight? Will he win? How many times do you think he will stutter through his introduction? - #1313 - Kano Eiko Shichi-hengeE29
#1313 - Kano Eiko Shichi-hengeA new edition of Shichi Henge with the guest this week being comedian Kano Eiko, who made his first ever appearance on Gaki in the previous Manager Sumo tournament. Matsumoto mentions then that he would like to have Kano on Shichi Henge in the future so it seems like it has been approved. - #1315 - Costume TalkE31
#1315 - Costume TalkThis costume talk focuses on some complaints of Matsumoto while he was in Hawaii for summer holidays and a letter that Tanaka wrote to Endo 20 years ago that Endo found recently while searching around his private items in his home. The gang will hear this letter for the first time. - #1316 - Absolutely Tasty Okonomiyaki (Part 1)E32
#1316 - Absolutely Tasty Okonomiyaki (Part 1)This week it's the return of the Absolutely Tasty series, which will have its first episode in almost five years. The theme for this episode is okonomiyaki, which has been used as an ingredient in other episodes before, but this is the first time it will be used as the base. - #1319 - World Ghost Story Summit 2016E35
#1319 - World Ghost Story Summit 2016As per the first edition of this concept that aired on the 9th of August last year, the gang listen to guests with foreign backgrounds tell scary stories from their own home countries and the gang determine whether they are really creepy stories or just plain absurd. - #1320 - 30 Minutes Endurance Handsome DriveE36
#1320 - 30 Minutes Endurance Handsome DriveThe gang are going out for a little drive for this week's episode with a little twist. They all have to decide on a handsome facial expression and keep their faces with the same expression for the whole 30 minutes, even during conversation. If one of them breaks their expression, the time is reset and they cannot stop until they last 30 minutes. - #1321 - I Think This Item Will Suit YouE37
#1321 - I Think This Item Will Suit YouThis week is a mini-spinoff of the 'I Think You Will Like This Item' series; where the episodes before had certain themes like pants, shirts etc., this time there will be no particular theme: the gang will just simply present an item they think suits the guest best. And this weeks guest is Ryucheru, a young model who has made his claim to fame this year for his rather extravagant fashion sense during his appearances on TV. - #1322 - 3rd Rendezvous Game (Part 1)E38
#1322 - 3rd Rendezvous Game (Part 1)Another Rendezvous Game for the gang to get through this week. The usual rules apply: the five members are given a theme and must go a place that they associate best with that theme. Until all five are at the same place, the game does not end. - #1324 - 3rd Hamada's Cram SchoolE40
#1324 - 3rd Hamada's Cram SchoolHamada once again takes charge of cram school in the third edition of Hamada's Cram School, the first in two years. In case you don't remember what it's about, Hamada, with Matsumoto as his assistant, takes Hosei, Cocorico and a host of other comedians through some 'classes', consisting of strange challenges. - #1327 - Location Shooting Replay ChallengeE43
#1327 - Location Shooting Replay ChallengeA new challenge for the gang this week, with the guys going on location and recording a little planned 'segment'. After finishing they then must try and replicate the exact same segment on the second and third takes without going off script or having any little incidents happen during the repeat filming. - #1331 - Ask the Best 5 in a Strange Town (Part 1)E47
#1331 - Ask the Best 5 in a Strange Town (Part 1)The gang have to go to cities they have not traveled to before, ask around for information regarding the best points and features about the city and then come up with a best 5 ranking of those cities. They have to travel around on foot for this segment. - #1333 - Costume TalkE49
#1333 - Costume TalkLast Costume Talk for the year, discussing a couple of stories: Another discussion on Hosei's continued balding. The gang's thoughts about the No Laughing Batsu Game filming. A possible sequel for Endo's film 'Busjack', which was famously made fun of in No Laughing Prison for its poor Amazon DVD ranking two years ago. Discussion around the new buzzwords/popular terms for the past year and how out of touch Hamada seems to be with most of them.
