How do you like your eggs? |
A couple of months ago I shared with you my favorite game show ballbusting clips from
Brazil,
the Netherlands, the
United States of America and
Germany. Let's turn our attention to the wonderful country of Spain for a moment, okay?
Ahh, Spain - the country of passion and heat, where the
cojones are big and hanging low (heat!) and the men wear skimpy swimwear and show off their goods (passion!). Spain is the home of Academy Award winning filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, renowned composer Issac Albéniz, groundbreaking surrealist painter Salvador Dalà and Nobel Prize laureate Camilo José Cela. In fact, there may be only one Spanish library where you won't find any of Cela's work -
La Biblioteka!
Screened from 2008 to 2010,
La Biblioteka was a Spanish version of
Silent Libary and
Fist of Zen. And, like those shows,
La Biblioteka's challenges often challenged the young male contestants' manhoods. (While I'm pretty sure that the US version of
Silent Libary supplied their contestants with protective cups, it's quite obvious that Germany's
Fist of Zen and
La Biblioteka saved those expenses. I love European TV!)
By the way, I shared some of the clips in
an ealier post back in 2009 - but a good nutshot is worth repeating, right? And fortunately I stumbled across a couple of clips that I didn't have back then.
So here we go:
La Biblioteka!
Meet young Spaniard Paquito whose friends hurl eggs at his groin in a challenge with the wonderful title
Huevos Estrellados, the Spanisch name for
Eggs sunny side up. I'm not quite sure "sunny" is how Paquito would describe his mood afterwards...
