Competitive eating champ Kobayashi gets the superhero treatment

By TMM Editors

Posted: November 17, 2006


PERHAPS you’ve heard of Takeru Kobayashi? He’s the eating-disordered Japanese guy who can stuff 50 hot dogs down his craw in a matter of minutes. Such superhuman powers has earned him cartoon superhero status, courtesy of SNL’s “TV Funhouse.” Getting the manga treatment, Kobayashi is called upon to save people from burning buildings and rising waters—by stuffing his gullet with hot dogs! See for yourself. We love the “Super Friends” safety tip at the end: “Remember, children. If you’re walking home and you see a downed power line, eat a lot of hot dogs very quickly!”
