May Your Misery Exceed Mine

What if your worst day ever could win you a prize? On the bizarrely hilarious Japanese game show *May Your Misery Exceed Mine*, that’s the entire premise. Each episode pits two contestants against each other, not in a test of skill, but of suffering. They compete by sharing their most cringeworthy and unfortunate personal stories, recounting tales of epic failure and sheer bad luck. The goal is to convince the judges that their misery was truly greater. The winner, deemed the most pathetic, is rewarded with a delicious, gourmet meal. The loser? They are forced to sit and watch them eat. The popular Nippon TV show has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.
