Keen observers of Gaki will note that Hamada tends to throw around the phrase 'ふざけんなよ' quite commonly whenever someone does a dumb/stupid thing; the phrase roughly translates to 'Don't screw around/be silly'. Well this episode will test the limits of how many times he will say it, with the theme of the episode being the gang and some guests bringing in an assortment of silly presents in an attempt to make him utter the phrase.
22. #1306 - Kiki Tomato Juice
The 39th installment of the Kiki series is tomato juice. Once again, the number of choices has been reduced from 12 to 10 for this week. Wonder how Hamada will go, given he has expressed a dislike of tomato before...

50. #1334 - 2nd I Think This Item Will Suit You
