The Iromonea
The Iromonea: Warawa setara 100 man-en is a popular Japanese comedy television show that features popular Japanese comedians to earn a million yen through a series of challenges. These challenges include 5 categories; The One shot gag, short skit, impressions, silent, and Gag with objects. Before the challenge, 5 out of the 100 members of the audience are chosen by random. The 5 that are selected would be the judge of the challenge and they are kept a secret from the comedians. The comedians have the option of choosing from the 5 categories and are given one minute to try to make at least 3 of the 5 judges laugh for the first 4 categories they choose. In order to achieve the one million yen, the comedians must make all 5 judges laugh for the final category they choose. If the comedians are not able to make the minimum number of judges, they are out of the challenge.

There are 5 stages in this show. By clearing each stage the price that the comedians receive increases. The comedians can choose from one of the categories for each stage but each category can only be used once. The comedians may wish to stop the challenge after each stage and receive the price they have earned. However, if they move on to the next stage and cannot clear it, they will receive no money. In most cases, the comedians do not with draw from the challenge and try to reach stage 5 and receive the one million yen.

One Shot Gag
In this category, comedians must perform an original gag they have created. The key term in this category is "One Shot" which means that each gag only takes around 5 seconds to perform. In most cases, the comedians have at least 8-10 gags prepared so that in case 3 (or 5 if this category is chosen for the comedians final choice) judges don't laugh they can perform another gag until they clear this category.

Short Skit
This category is similar to the one shot gag. Comedians prepare a humorous short skit and try to make the judges laugh. these skits are regularly around 20 seconds long and comedians have a few prepared just in case the first one they perform does not make the judges laugh.

Impressions
As the name states, comedians perform funny comedic impression of anything. The most common form of this act is by doing an impression of another comedian or celebrity in Japan. However, in some cases, comedians have done impressions of objects such as attractions in Disney Land and have succeeded through this category.

Silent
This category is considered to be the most difficult among the five categories. The comedians are not allowed to talk or make a single sound out of they're mouths. In stead, they use they're body and try to make the judges laugh.

Gag with Objects
This category is considered to be the easiest out of the five categories. As the name states, the comedians perform a gag using objects provided by the producers of the show. Comedians often save this category for the final 5th stage of the challenge since they have to make all 5 judges laugh.
