TV in Japan

Mystery solved.

Both Boing Boing and WFMU's Beware of the Blog have explanations of what's going on with these two unitard-ed gentlemen.

From Boing Boing:

Reader comment: aragoto says,

The two comedians (they're Japanese, naturally) are Koji Higashino (in the blue) and Koji Imada (in the red). The sketch Doug links to is literally titled "The After-School Electromagnetic Wave Club", and involves them (this may be obvious, but the mini-tards are distracting) using their magnets to pull a groper away from his victim. I sense the humour is mainly to be had from the costumes.

And now without further adieu, I give you The After-School Electromagnetic Wave Club.

These are two wild and crazy guys. With giant magnets. And barely contained scrotums. On TV. In Japan.



Thanks to Chaz for the info and Don for the original inquiry.
