Fool Me Twice (full name: かつて私をだます、あなたに恥、二度私をばか、私はあなたの顔をパンチ, which translates to Fool Me Once, Shame on You, Fool Me Twice, I Punch Your Face!) is a Japanese game show that Mordecai and Rigby watch, as seen in the episode Fool Me Twice. When the show has a contest to invite American contestants, Mordecai and Rigby call in to try to compete, much to Benson's dislike, and all three of them get sucked into the game show.  

Gameplay

The game starts with the contestant being asked a series of questions. By fooling the host twice, the contestant has to complete an obstacle course called the Baka Blitz in 10 minutes (which only Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson have ever done). If time runs out or the contestant surrenders, the host will punch the contestant in the face. It turns out that the host can be fooled three times. In the event the host is fooled a third time, he is compelled to punch himself in the face. By completing the Baka Blitz, the contestant(s) wins the Mystery Prize.
