Video: Russians Give the Best Reality TV Show Beatdowns

In Russia, there is a Candid Camera-type show called Your Expensive Car Is Getting Paint on It.  The premise is simple, yet classic: a painter (who is actually an actor) gets paint all over someone’s expensive car, but the owner of the car is not in on the joke.  Until the painter points at the hidden camera and deploys the show’s beloved catchphrase, “Smile… your expensive car is getting paint on it!”  The unwitting prank victim knows he’s been had!

But in one recent episode, the car owner totally did not get the joke.  Even after hearing the catchphrase, he still didn’t understand that his expensive car was being vandalized for TV, so it was OK.  And he showed his displeasure in the time-honored Russian way: with his fists.

The guys who are just standing around are my favorite part, I think.  Their effort to stop the beating is pretty half-hearted.  ”Hey man, don’t beat that guy up.  That’s… not cool.  Or keep doing it, I guess.  Either way.  He did get paint on your expensive car.”
