0:00:01 > 0:00:02# Officially, officially, officially
0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Amazing! #
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Yeah! Woo-hoo. Uh-oh.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16These are three of the world's leanest,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20meanest and downright finest record-breaking machines.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23They're going head-to-head with world records
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and national pride at stake.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27They are...
0:00:30 > 0:00:34And what's more, they're taking on records that you can try at home.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37MUSIC: "Living In America" by James Brown
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Representing the USA is the onesie-wearing whippet US Ray.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45He's a back-flipping, bouncing ball of all-American energy.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Representing the UK is Sizzling Steve.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Not as energetic as his American opponent
0:00:53 > 0:00:58but with a steely will to win, he's flying the flag for Old Blighty.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04Finally, for Japan, it's the uniquely understated Mr Cherry.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Don't let his quiet exterior fool you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10This man's a record-breaking legend.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16With three events completed, the competition couldn't be
0:01:16 > 0:01:21closer as our trio of titans have each been victorious in one event...
0:01:22 > 0:01:26..with two world records being broken in the process.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Ah!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31For today's officially competitive challenge, it's...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- PHRRT! - ..bottoms up, as we see
0:01:33 > 0:01:38who can sit on the most whoopee cushions in 30 seconds.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Last series, Mr Cherry broke the world record for cracking
0:01:42 > 0:01:44walnuts with his backside.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I wonder if his buns of steel are up to this challenge.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Cherry-san. Last time you cracked walnuts with your bum.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Are you confident for this challenge as well, using your bottom?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- NARRATOR TRANSLATES: - Oh, yes indeed, love.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00My bum will help me win.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05So you are definitely confident with your bum? OK. So here are the rules.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11The person attempting the record must sit on each whoopee cushion
0:02:11 > 0:02:15individually. Every cushion sat on must produce a noise resembling a...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18PHRRT! If the cushion explodes or rips it
0:02:18 > 0:02:20will not count towards the total.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25The current record is 37 whoopee cushions in 30 seconds.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27PHRRT!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Cherry-san, are you ready? HE SHOUTS
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Adjudicator, are you ready?- Yes. - THEY SPEAK IN JAPANESE
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Three, two, one. Go.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43As usual, Mr Cherry is impeccably vest...I mean dressed.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47He's flying by the seat of his tiny pants here.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51He's got the wind in his sails.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55This is whoopee-wizardry at its finest by Mr Cherry.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Whoops a daisy. He's reached the end of the line
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- and he's run out of cushions.- Stop!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06One whoopee cushion at the death there. A cheeky effort by Mr Cherry.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09While the adjudicator checks his cushion count,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13we're off to the USA and UK to see how our boys get on.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Three, two, one. Go!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Ray's set his chairs out in a circle which is within the rules.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Will that give him the edge?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Sizzling Steve's gone for the straight line approach.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Both need assistance on hand to keep a steady supply of whoopee cushions.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33This is like the windiest game of musical chairs I've ever seen.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You need to go a bit faster there, Al. Ray's caught you up.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm going as quick as I can.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41They're letting rip but they need to make sure
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- they're not ripping those whoopee cushions.- Stop!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47That was a cacophony of whoopee-cushioned craziness
0:03:47 > 0:03:52but who has sat on the most? And do we have a world record on our hands?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Remember the number to beat is 37 cushions.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59US Ray is certainly confident. The results are in.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01In third place is...
0:04:01 > 0:04:02the UK
0:04:02 > 0:04:06and Sizzling Steve who sat on 29. Hard luck there, Steve.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Just not enough gas.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11In second place is...
0:04:11 > 0:04:12US Ray with 31.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17He may not have won but at least he and Al had windy fun.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21That means today's victor is Japan and Mr Cherry.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25His relentless, straight-lined approach was the best.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27HE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Japanese! Sushi! Tempura!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Boom! Boom! Boom!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We know he's won the contest
0:04:37 > 0:04:41but have we got a new world record on our hands?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44The current record stands at 37.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I had to discount some that ripped or didn't make a sound.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52So your final result is...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58..48. It's a new Guinness World Records' record.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01HE CHEERS
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yeah! Number one champion!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Amazing!!!
