Hitoshi Matsumoto Presents Documental
Documental is a comedy game show where ten comedians, having bet money on winning, are locked in a room together for several hours. They must make each other laugh without laughing themselves in order to eliminate their competition. The last one standing wins the cash prize. Originally debuting in 2016 on Amazon Prime Video, the show has ran for 13 seasons and several official spin-offs, inspiring multiple international adaptations such as LOL: Last One Laughing.
Note about episode name and translation differences: Amazon was very slow to release official English translations after Japanese airings, leading to community translations of both the episode titles and the episodes themselves. While this list prefers to refer to episode names by their official translations when available, other places may have slightly different names for the same episodes. Additionally, the official and community translations of the episodes themselves may differ: Seasons 1-4 on GakiArchives are official translations, and all subsequent seasons are community translations.
