The 8 Most Terrifying Restaurants from Around the World

For centuries, restaurants have been making the same fiscal error time and time again: serving delicious food at reasonable prices. Truly a recipe for fiduciary disaster. Here at least are eight restaurants that understand, to truly make a profit in the food business, you want to guarantee your patrons eat as little as possible, then get the hell out. It’s called “high turnover.” Ask an economist.

Guo-Li-Zhuang: A Penis Buffet

Are you suffering from a low sex drive? Lack confidence and virility? Love stuffing animal penises into your mouth? If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, Guo-Li-Zhuang may just be the lunch spot for you. Or you may just be a pervert.

Assuming the former, you’ll get a blast and a half out of Guo-Li-Zhuang’s tasteful interior decoration, soothing ambient music, and kitchen full of cooked animal members. And when it comes to man-meat, Guo-Li-Zhuang just can’t be beat! They’ve got horse penis, goat penis, dog penis, pig penis, cock cock…why, they’ve got more penis than you can shake your dick at! (Dick shaking not recommended, as you risk losing your penis to another hungry customer).

All that and balls to boot! At Guo-Li-Zhuang, you can get any dick with testicles on the side; the way God intended. Would you like pig balls with a goat dick? Done. Dog penis with one horse ball and one rooster ball? Why the hell not? A big horse cock and two tiny chicken balls? Hilarious!

Or why not indulge yourself with the “man’s mighty meal,” a plate of three floppy dicks and eight—count ‘em eight!—swollen testicles, guaranteed to give you back your virility or send you screaming into the streets.

Guo-Li-Zhuang? More like Chow-On-Wang! Ordering sausage and eggs for breakfast just got a little more interesting.

#7.
Cannibalistic Sushi

For many Americans, eating rolls of raw fish can be a tough sell. But if you’re one of the thousands of open-minded Yanks who’ve fallen under the spell of sushi in recent years, then what better way to totally ruin it for yourself than eating it out of a dead person?

At Cannibalistic Sushi, an edible body is wheeled out to your family on a gurney, along with as much scotch as you need to disinfect your forks and convince yourself that this was a good idea. Then, it’s time to dig in! Whether you’re using chopsticks, a knife and fork, or your bare hands, one thing’s for certain: you’ll be feasting on the entrails of a human being.

The artisans at Cannibalistic Sushi have taken pains to ensure that the human body you are ripping into is as lifelike as possible. The sushi inside is shaped to resemble human organs, a red “blood sauce” is embedded in the skin layer so as to create realistic bleeding, and your corpse even has a set of papier maché genitals! It’s like your third grade arts and crafts project all over again.

If you’re an experienced cannibal, make sure to specify a male or female corpse when ordering, and show the other diners just how sophisticated your taste in human flesh is. And although eating at Cannibalistic Sushi may not quell the voices in your head that command you to kill and devour those around you, it will certainly shut them up for a day or two.

Confuse your inner psychopath by making a reservation at Cannibalistic Sushi today!

#6.
Dinner In The Sky

Not a restaurant in the true sense, Dinner In The Sky is more of a philosophy. The philosophy that if food tastes better outdoors, then it will taste even better than that suspended thirteen stories in the air.

By making a reservation, you can guarantee you and up to 21 guests the dining experience of an extremely bizarre lifetime. At the appointed date, a Belgian crane will come and hoist your table, seats, waiters and even an entertainer into the air for a two-hour meal. The food is exceptional, and the entertainment consists of a man on all fours clutching at the ground and weeping until you are once again lowered.

With Dinner In The Sky, you will truly experience all the labia-clenching terror that height has to offer. Your seats are groundless, leaving your legs dangling in the breeze, a testament to man’s refusal to not do crazy things that affront God. You are harnessed in however, so diners should be sure to evacuate their bowels before boarding, or else risk giving someone below the worst day of their lives.

At 130 feet in the air, depending on your location, you can expect wind, fog, rain, and low flying birds to add a healthy sense of atmos-fear to your meal. And if by chance a romantic thunderstorm should swell, rest assured that you are fastened to a 130 foot-tall metal rod.

Bon apetit!

#5.
Buns and Guns

For the love of God, GET DOWN! Ba-CHKOW! JESUS CHRIST! It’s…a turkey sub on French bread. But what’s that on the side?! GRENADES!!!!! Wa-BOOOOOOOMers! Grenades means potato wedges.

It’s that kind of playful double entendre that makes Buns and Guns the premiere Hezbollah-themed fast food chain in Lebanon. After a lengthy battle with competing chains Burgers and Lugers, Khomeini’s House of Schwarma and Fuck Israel!, Buns and Guns became known nationwide as the “home of the AK-47 Kalashnikov” which you may be perplexed to learn is a beef sandwich.

And at Buns and Guns, it’s not just the item names that get your adrenaline pumping. They’ve gone all out to provide a dining experience as akin as possible to fighting for your life on a bomb-scarred battlefield in the DMZ. Special touches include chefs sporting battle helmets, sandbags out front, and menu items like the “Claymore” pizza, topped with peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, corn and tomato. Pull one of the gooey slices away and watch as vegetarian entrails slop off onto your camo tablecloth! KaBLOOEY! Just don’t step on it!

And to make your dining experience all the more visceral, all Buns and Guns establishments play a continuous loop of rifle fire, mortar fire, and explosion sounds to eat by. And if any of the wait staff happen to have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, who knows what kind of exciting outbursts that could elicit? It’s the only restaurant in Lebanon guaranteed to seamlessly integrate into your daily routine of being bombarded with mortar shells.

The motto says it all: “A Sandwich Can Kill You.” Drop in today to find out how!

#4.
Modern Toilet

If you’re still eating at Old Fashioned Toilet, you’re woefully behind the times, and let’s not even discuss Chamber Pot and The Outhouse. The fact is, today’s modern world demands a modern toilet—for sitting on while eating, for eating out of, for…actually that’s all the toilet uses we can really remember.

Thank heavens, then, that the Modern Toilet restaurant has seen fit to outfit their restaurant with only the most modern plastic lids, fuzzy seat covers, and fine ceramic bowls, and then filled those bowls with a hot steaming pile of soup. And all Modern Toilet restaurants are co-ed, so don’t fret; your hubby won’t miss watching you guzzle soup out of a urinal, head held low while drops of broth splatter onto your face.

And if the thought of eating a soup of yellow broth and chunks of cooked beef out of a toiled bowl seems less than appetizing to you, not to worry! Simply drop the soup into the toilet that is your seat, and flush it away.

Of course, the toilets aren’t functional, and a waiter will be along shortly to escort you off the premises. But at least you didn’t have to eat the shit soup! Instead, you can skip straight to dessert, a heaping helping of chocolate soft serve, fresh out of the bowl.

So go out and spread the word about Modern Toilet, if only because you don’t want a confused mall patron running in and pissing into your Chicken Curry.

#3.
Eternity

If you’re anything like us Cracked writers, you can’t count the number of times you tried to cheer up a friend after a death in their family by surprising them with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese’s. And no matter how many times they run out of the building screaming, it never stops being funny. Luckily, most will forgive you if you present them with an eighty-ticket unbreakable comb you won playing skee-ball.

But if you’re not like us Cracked writers, you may want to mourn their recent loss at a place more befitting the occasion. Enter Eternity, the restaurant designed for people who have lost a loved one, and don’t want to move on any time soon.

The windowless, coffin-shaped café is also an ideal dining destination for those who would like to recall the dead, but live far from a cemetery and find their remembrances go well with a banana nut muffin, not to mention goth kids and weird loners.

The restaurant features funeral wreaths, white lilies on each table, and walls made of what appears to be black plastic, in case you happened to bury your mother in a garbage bag.

Although if that’s the case, we’ve got some grisly news for you involving wolves and dismemberment. In fact, you might want to sit down for this. Banana nut muffin?

#2.
Fortezza Medicea

This exclusive restaurant in Voltera, Italy has tables booked weeks in advance. In order to secure a table, you and your guests will need to call ahead, submit to full background checks, and, once on premises, the maitre d’ and his helpful staff will frisk you and take your cell phones and anything else they deem a risk.

Why the precautions? Is it because their chicken parmesan is so delicious, patrons have been known to storm the kitchen, threatening the life of the cook staff lest they reveal what Hell-demon they blew to get the recipe? Yes, but also because Fortezza Medicea is a maximum security prison.

Not only is it a prison, but the wait staff and cook staff are all convicted inmates. The head chef is doing life for murder, as is the piano player Bruno (Bruno will take no requests. Do not speak to or make eye contact with Bruno). The cooking is accomplished entirely with plastic utensils, for the safety of the customers, and added “casual” feel of the establishment. Why, dining at Fortezze Medicea is just like having a picnic! A picnic with the mafia!

But not to worry; while you eat, you will at all times be under the hawk-like gaze of 20 prison warders, just waiting for an inevitable violent escape attempt. Will you be taken hostage at (plastic) knife-point, used as a human shield by a convict, or simply gunned down in the cross fire? It all adds to the deliciousness of their signature red wine sauce.

Shanks, Fortezza Medicea, for proving that even killers-for-hire can make an alfredo sauce that’s to die for!

#1.
“Roppongi”

The last restaurant on our list is so exclusive, it doesn’t even have a name. To eat there costs between two to eight thousand dollars, and you must be a member (to qualify as a member, you must have a yearly income in excess of $175,000…well, in Yen). It’s a secretive, controversial club located underground in Tokyo’s fashionable Roppongi District. Where you have sex with your food.

Playing with your food has never been taken so literally. At the Roppongi club, you’ll get to make love to your choice of a chicken, dog, pig, or goat; male or female. At this point, unless you’ve overstepped your bounds, the animal is still alive, and presumably frisky.

Once the deed is done, you (and your family? Guests? We’re not really sure what you want to do here) retire to the dining area. In a matter of minutes, you are presented with a delicious meal of roasted whatever-animal-you-just-fucked. The restaurant is not forthcoming with many details, but one imagines, largely for the sake of one’s sanity, that the animal is cleaned out first.

Admittedly, this exclusive dining establishment is not for everyone, but if you’re a rich person who has literally exhausted every other human experience (remember, that includes injecting heroin into your eyeball), then why not top off your life of debauchery with a humped dog?
As one of the patrons (who wished to remain anonymous) stated, “the appeal of the place just came about because when people have got money and done everything else, they turn towards bestiality.”

We’re on to you, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, J.K. Rowling and Paul McCartney. Watch it.

    Great article. But I have my doubts about #1, do you know how long it takes to slaughter, butcher, prepare and cook an animal? You would be waiting forever to get your meal. Unless it isn’t the animal you just fucked, in which case, anyone into bestiality has no real reason to go there (just fuck your own dog, why pay thousands of dollars?).

  2. mccolt49 Says:

    #1 reminds me of the guy in Washington that died after having sex with a horse. Makes me wonder if EVERY country has sick bastards like that.

  14. Tony Says:

    well i’ll be dipped in shit and rolled in breadcrumbs, deep fried and served in a dirty ashtray.

  15. Gregory Bogosian Says:

    I would eat at Eternity. Seems like a good place for one night stands with goth chicks.

  16. Sinchoomi Says:

    i would eat at all of these places for the novelty…except for the very last one.
    i was mildly amused by all of them until i got to #1. had to reread the first two paragraphs before i continued on with a sense of foreboding. =[

  17. lusilly13 Says:

    #2 scared me. #1 literally made my jaw drop. But GREAT article, it was really, really interesting :).

  18. Lilien Says:

    Come think of it, #1 and #7 are not that different. But if I intended to fuck my food, I would go for something more eatable than a dog… what about a vegetarian option?? ——- no, wait, I know people already doing that xD

  19. Q-ro Says:

    #1 is gross !!! insane!!, brutal on some other bunch of adjectives i cannot believe people do that kind of stuff … this world is just crazy …

  20. Moku Says:

    I thought these people where sane, then I saw 1. I think a person should do one or the other, but both is just sick!!!

  21. liu Says:

    so many ignorant racists that comment here

  22. Virility Says:

    LOL!!!!!!! eating animals penis to increase virility? I don’t thin so. That’s totally gross

  23. happy_asian_bunny Says:

    #1 is obviously fake, and people who says so other wise, you don’t know shit.

    And you people who are racist fucks, shut the hell up.

    and im planning to visit the Modern Toilet in October, when i go home ^^

    p.s. and there’s another place where its almost seemlier to the Cannibal Sushi, is a bakery in Taiwan that the baking goods looks like human body parts. and its owner is studying to be a surgeon. So you know where he got the idea for his family’s bakery.

  30. Murk Says:

    HOLY CRAP!

    I lost my appetite. While I’m adventurous with food, I feel that it’s still should be within the bounds of normality. The modern toilet was actually fun as well as the dinner in the sky, but everything else (esp the bestiality and the friggin corpse meal) made my stomach churn like hell.

  31. thebigboss Says:

    Sweet mother of mercy…. the restaurants weren’t nearly as disrturbing as that dog-human thing. I don’t know what I would do if I saw that thing on my living room floor.

  32. Monkeys Says:

    Just when you think that the Japanese have acchieved the pinnacle of human creepiness, they find yet another way of out-doing themselves. I’d like to think that with the Japanese, half of the CRACKED staff would be laid off.

    I lost it at ‘Penis Buffet’. That whole section was hilarious, particularly ‘They’ve got horse penis, goat penis, dog penis, pig penis, cock cock…why, they’ve got more penis than you can shake your dick at! (Dick shaking not recommended, as you risk losing your penis to another hungry customer).’ Awesome stuff. ;)

    Even if #1 does exist it DOESN’T mean ALL Japanese people participate in the practice of raping and their food before they eat it!

    Do you really think bestiality doesn’t go on in the western world?!

  69. Todd Says:

    Here is a link that discusses what happened to the writer.
    http://www.debito.org/?p=1850
    I feel bad for him on the one hand. But the stories he wrote/translated were usually of questionable accuracy. As he states below:

    It does concern me that we resort to these stereotypes all the time,” he said. “Downtrodden salarymen, slutty schoolgirls, crazy housewives, corrupt old bosses and so on. And there have been times when I picked stories of questionable accuracy to write up. But by and large I’m presenting to the English-speaking world things that the Japanese are writing about themselves.”

  70. Todd Says:

    “Roppongi” restaurant doesn’t exist. I live in Tokyo. It was a fabricated story made up by a (magazine or newspaper) writer (I think Australian) whose job was to make up stories about Japan to titilate people overseas. The writer was fired. He claims his editor told him to write such stories a la The Enquirer.

    This website makes me laugh a lot but I’ve noticed they aren’t very good at fact checking.

  71. JOhnny Says:

    Shitty soup. That is a great Kids In The Hall skit.

  72. Kona Says:

    “Why does the the top picture in 1# have to be a boy and his dog. WHY?!

    But that’s messed up… to quote some random online sexperts, animals can’t give consent. That’s actually what bothers me the most. Eat them if you must, but don’t rape them.”

    ….what?

  73. XEmoxxBeanX Says:

    Wow. Sex with animals is fucking SICK. God, I don’t know what the sick fucks were thinking when they came up with that.

  74. Iago Says:

    I find it sort of amusing that people have no problem with killing animals, or treating them in all sorts of horrible ways, but immediately freak out if someone has sex with them. It’s bizzare as hell to be sure, but I still take the heretic stance that it’s not inheritly immoral activity - anyone who has any experience with animals can tell when they like or dislike something; I don’t see why that wouldn’t work with sex. I wouldn’t want to see big advertisment of it in public, but what people do in private shouldn’t be a problem, as long as they don’t harm their pets.

    But the idea of mixing sex with butchering goes beyond mere bizzare as hell; it’s also cruel as hell. It most defintely goes in the field of “harming”. Makes you wonder just how many kinds of sensations you have to go through before only eating your sex-partner can make you fell good…

  75. kat Says:

    oh yay. First rape and murder your victim then eat them. Genius. Anyone who could do that could probably do it to a person as well, maybe they are! Find the sex slave-murder-cannibal restaurant next, I bet it makes millions!

  76. aszlick Says:

    if u were to ask any random jap on the streets of japan that u want to fuck them in the ass, they would all be willing

  77. davirginizer Says:

    #1 is fake

  78. Elle Says:

    Why does the the top picture in 1# have to be a boy and his dog. WHY?!

    But that’s messed up… to quote some random online sexperts, animals can’t give consent. That’s actually what bothers me the most. Eat them if you must, but don’t rape them.

  79. AlWest Says:

    I ate at Modern Toilet this year. Actually, it’s alright, not great. The food is typical Taiwanese fare, served in a plastic toilets. The toilets are unfortunately totally normal. And Taiwanese food is guaranteed to ensure you will never end up with a neat, ice cream-like shit - a brown broth is closer to the texture you end up with, if you are a westerner.
    I think there’s a market for combining the Roppongi club with Modern Toilet - fuck your own shit and stuff it into your mouth afterwards. Nutritious.

  80. Mark Says:

    Wtf is up with the Japanese?????

  81. Nakamura Says:

    I’m positive that #1 is false. I live in Roppingi for 7 years..
    Don’t make things up… Stop making stuff up.

  82. Dcupdiva Says:

    I am all for each and every one of the listed 8.

  93. Baka To The Future Says:

    The pig appears to be supporting itself on its own legs (the girl being sufficiently tiny to permit this).

    Too, Japanese animated girls run anywhere from three to thirteen times as strong as the ones we’ve got on our shores.

    Just a theory, that.

  94. kingmonkey, esq. Says:

    Wait a minute. Don’t pigs get up to hundreds of pounds in weight? Wouldn’t that poor, blue-haired Japanese cartoon girl likely be crushed? Are pigs gentle lovers? There’s just so much I don’t know about zoophilia.

  95. Czechmate Says:

    I’m sure the Modern Toilet diner has regular customers… Ahaha. Or maybe they aren’t regular, if they’ve got to sit on toilets for so long…

  98. Christina Heasley Says:

    Number 1 and the number 8 made my skin crawl. This world is going to hell in a handbasket. Killing an animal to eat it is bad enough, but your going to rape it before hand truly is horrifying and repulsive.

    asians are weird

  106. MJ -89 Says:

    The most basic Google search will reveal dozens of articles on ‘weird’, ‘crazy’, ‘wacky’, etc restaurants and most of them share at least 3 or 4 of the same restaurants but that doesn’t make the authors of all articles bar the very first one an evil plagiarizer.

    Last night I was showing this article to a couple of people and was thinking that I wouldn’t mind going to that restaurant in the sky place. Then I remembered how afraid I am carnival rides that take you up even half that hight and realised it wouldn’t be the best idea.
    I’m not entirely sure how most of the restaurants on this list stay in business. I’ve heard that the penis thing is actually a delicacy in traditional Chinese culture so I sort of get that one but what about eating out of fake toilets? Surely they don’t have regular customers.

  107. MJ -89 Says:

    Many people seem to have missed what Catzilla said and keep accusing Swaim of wrongdoings so I’m going to go right ahead and repost it:

    “Oddee - If you wrote that article this year, does that mean you stole it from here?

    http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/388320/the_weirdest_restaurants_in_the_world.html?cat=16

    It’s a concept that’s been written about numerous times, because it never fails to intrigue us, or at the very least, creep us the hell out. Its a bit presumptuous to believe this author’s incredibly witty and comedic rendition was even remotely inspired by yours.”

  108. DirkTard Says:

    So 4 out of the 8 restaurants here are from Oddee’s site, and one’s a fake. Just making sure I got the count right…

    The penis restaurant is in Beijing. (that’s China, not Japan)
    Modern Toilet is in Taipei. (that’s Taiwan, not Japan)
    Cannibalistic Sushi is in Tokyo. (that’s Japan)

    So let’s call you two thirds racist for now.

  112. Jack-O Says:

    What’s happening?! I tried to read #1, but all I can hear are a thousand screaming voices, and all I can see is red! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!

  113. Nurupo Says:

    This is all fake and no more than hoax. Please google ‘mainichi’ ‘hentai’

  114. Planet-man Says:

    I’m not racist. I’m really not. But what the fuck…. it barely even surprises me anymore. Would anyone here NOT have guessed that the ones that involve eating roasted penises or disecting and eating a makeshift human corpse or drinking diarrhea-coloured soup out of a toilet bowl or RAPING AN ANIMAL AND THEN EATING IT would all be in Japan?

  115. Michael Says:

    Has it occurred to anyone else that the reason Japan is so fucked in the head is BECAUSE we bombed them? Only place in the world to feel the wrath of the atomic bomb. All that radiation must’ve done SOMETHING to their heads… couple that with very little genetic variety (it’s big… but it’s STILL an island)….

    We tested in Nevada and almost immediately someone thought it’d be a good idea to stick a land of debauchery in the middle of the desert. And which way was the fallout floating?… The midwest. (not to diss the bazillions of people that live there, but aren’t the most passionately fundamentalist Christian sects from that particular area??)

    Somebody should look into this.

The damn bathroom is right by her office…WTF?So, she doesn’t even need the modern toilet restaurant….any toilet IS her restaurant. Trust me, if you saw this woman, you’d have nightmares of her on the toilet with her snack. OMFG.

  120. Baka To The Future Says:

    ‘Cause a miniscule platform does not, in the inestimable opinion of Michael Swaim, qualify as ground.

    Or something.

    Maybe he’s speaking from an electrician’s standpoint?
    Or stating that they (the chairs) don’t have a leg to stand on?
    I’m grasping at straws here — and, in retrospect, making some really stupid puns.

    How do you figger the seats at Dinner in the Sky are groundless when you have a photo showing a place to rest your feet? That’s really lazy work, CRACKED.

  122. MacHaggis Says:

    So, I wonder about the validity and accuracy of number 1. Rumor has it it MAY be false. Also, I wonder where Swaim got his content for this article. Bet it’s Plagiarism.

    But on a more serious note, Swaim just invented a new Douchbag Magnet. Just look at its efficacy.

  126. kingmonkey 4: A Night in MJ-89's Pants Says:

    You could use the penis restaurant as a test for potential girlfriends (boyfriends if you’re gay). If they are too squeamish to eat there, you can guess they may not be into oral sex. If they are cool with it, they will have fun with you (if you know what I mean, nudge nudge). If they voraciously tear into those penises with animalistic bites, you may want to politely decline if they should offer you a blowjob.

  127. Hadrian Says:

    For the penis menu….well it’s meat similar to sausage….it is all in the mind…! Its not the penis or balls food that make great sex….

  128. Baka To The Future Says:

    pdxtran, that’s something completely separate, called nyotaimori.

    Fake or not, though, it’s certainly telling how readily believable anything becomes when Japan is mentioned.

  129. pdxtran Says:

    #7 is a fake as well. There is a restaurant where you eat FISH sashimi off a LIVE person, so it would have been laughably easy to Photo Shop.

  134. Turjkish Says:

    There’s no evidence on No.1. The funny thing is that the article in Mainichi said that an American blog had made up terrible things about Japan, which it reassured people were totally untrue. People think they can say anything about Japan and it’ll stick.

  135. glendoor42 Says:

    totally I meant.

  136. glendoor42 Says:

    The real sad thing is the “Roppongi” has enough ring of truth to it that some people are inclined to believe it.

    “I think that detonating nuclear devices in Japan is comedy gold.”

    So did Pres, Truman after he ordered the bomb dropped he just laaauuuughed and even harder when he dropped the second one.

    “And strange to know so many commentators still live in the WW2/Vietnam era, probably call asians “gooks” and sleep with their guns, worrying about anyone with a beard or dark skin.”

    What remarkable insight you have the day after the anniversary of 9/11. The fear of men with beards and dark skin is totatlly unfounded.

  137. Yannicus Says:

    Like ozzies, americans or European farmers don’t fuck the goats they then milk and slaughter for a family meal. Its been done to death throughout the world - the jokes must come from somewhere.
    And strange to know so many commentators still live in the WW2/Vietnam era, probably call asians “gooks” and sleep with their guns, worrying about anyone with a beard or dark skin.

    The Roppongi Restaurant is an urban legend. It spread when an idiot American tabloid newspaper mistranslated a witty piece of literary satire. And then it got out of hand when more idiot blogs repeated the mistake to feed the “weird Japan” interest.

As a proof, it is an “underground club” that cannot be searched by google.

  159. lordfiesta Says:

    For the last time the Japanese Cannibal restaurant is a hoax, and a rather mean spirited one at that. Though my argument would be more reliable if I could find the link where I read this, but this list doesn’t even provide links so I guess I am in the clear. Anyway the pictures of this so called eatery appeared on the internet a few years back on a Taiwanese website taking the piss out of their former occupiers the Japanese. Anyone who has tried researching this restaurant, or tried to dine there while in Japan, find that it simply doesn’t exist. All you will find are same of pictures of the people sitting around the fake body on site like this talking about strange restaurants from around the world. And if you look closely at the photo you see that it looks an awful lot like someones dining room and not a themed restaurant, I mean where is the cannibal decor? So all in all IT IS A BUNCH OF TAIWANESE KIDS TAKING THE PISS OUT OF JAPAN!

    Right. And commenters shouldn’t shit on Oddee for pointing out that his shit was stolen. If you’ve ever had your stuff ripped off, it totally sucks. Next time, cite the dude when you pull his piece and use it in your post.

  216. karl winslow Says:

    Some of these are disgusting, but you may want to check these out sooner than later if you’re interested because, apparently in small town Iowa, the “rapture” is coming. Don’t know what this is about, but it looks pretty weird:

  221. Some Crazy Guy Says:

    Wouldn’t dudes have a much better time at Roppongi than chicks? WAIT! I don’t want to think about it.

  222. Morphiaflow Says:

    So Oddee, after you’ve reviewed a restaurant no one else is allowed? You must be a really well established food critic. Do a Google search for weird restaurant themes and guaranteed you weren’t the first to come up with this idea for an article either.

    PS- Cracked did a better job than you anyway.

  223. Jackson Says:

    Wow. All very disturbing. Especially the penis place? Does that seem to anybody else that THEY are trying to make up for the fact that, most likely, they have comparitvely smaller penises? I’m not trying to be an asshole here, but why else the animal penis obsession if not trying to make up for some sort of… shortcumming?

  224. Steven Says:

    did that penis move?

  225. CodyCastor Says:

    My boss just had the nerve to come into my office and ask me why some coworkers saw me fucking my sandwich at lunchtime! What a dumbass! I told that clown it was time to be more open-minded with other cultures of the world. He said he understood about the culture thing, but pointed out that I don’t make nearly enough money to go around fucking snacks. Long story short, I just got a raise! Thanks Swaim!

  226. RicketyCricket Says:

    What if you go to Roppongi and fall in love while you’re fucking?? Do you HAVE to eat it?

    Thanks, glendoor42’s leprechaun. It’s all so clear to me now. 42… I understand. My God, it’s full of stars!

  230. CodyCastor Says:

    The Claymore pizza has corn on it? That’s gross.

  231. lapinot Says:

    I’m glad to say that the horrifying #1 is certainly a fake, but at least it introduced me to that picture of the girl with the pig. The other seven were great, if regrettably lacking in girls with pigs.

  235. Jeff Says:

    Am…Am I the only one who’s wondering what Swaim google-image-searched to find the pig hentai pic?

  236. glendoor42 Says:

    I don’t beilieve there is enough money in the world to make me want to fuck something then eat it.

    #8 I saw on the Travel Channel show Bizzare Food. The host, Andrew Zimmern, the host travels around the world eating stuff that Bear Grylls gag on. The guy has eaten more dick and balls than the Village People. It a running joke between my son’s and I how long into
    the show before he eat a sex organ.

    @ kingmonkey glendoor42’s leprchaun says take the red pill now!!!

  237. Mash Says:

    I don’t know why #1’s freaking people out.

    It seems so humane.

    After all, if I were a male any one of those animals and some random dude raped me I’d want to die as well…..

  238. greengoddess Says:

    And even though I don’t have a penis, #8 freaked me the fuck OUT!

  239. greengoddess Says:

    Usually I get eaten first, then fucked. It’s totally better that way.

  240. stuffgirlslike Says:

    I have written a piece on the Japanese Restaurant themes worth looking at.

  241. 12 Pack Says:

    The picture of the guy with the camera for #1 reminded me immediately of the Wesley Willis song, “Suck a Cheetah’s Dick.”

    But I don’t remember him saying anything about killing it and eating afterwards…

  242. clownoftheday Says:

    #10 was featured on Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmern I believe. He kept asking the lady he was with, How is your penis? http://www.clownoftheday.com

  243. Random Hero Says:

    i mean i love eating sushi people
    and having sex with my food
    but i refuse to have my dinner in a place with trash bags on the walls!!!
    kidding but i want to know what kind of person you have to be to want to go shove your thing or have your food shoved in you to get off
    and do they eat it while they’re porking it?
    or just pork it then eat it
    talk about extra sauce haha

  244. Jenna_Tullwortz Says:

    If I ever wanted to plead the case that humanity should be wiped from the face of the Earth I’d use #1 as my argument.

  245. Khalid Says:

    Plagiarism sucks, but it was a funny (plagiarized) article anyway. I would actually enjoy eating at most of those restaurants, except for the dick and toilet ones - talk about “ewwww” :D

  246. David Gee Says:

    I went to Modern Toilet once. I ordered a glass of lemonade and a box of Milk Duds.

    MrMonkeyman? Are you talking to me? I don’t even remeber mentioning WWII. Am I off my meds again, glendoor42’s leprechaun?

  252. starberry Says:

    @MrMonkeyman

    ever heard of wwII? pretty sure thats happened…

  253. Ross Wolinsky Says:

    My gut instinct is to call bullshit on #1, but I’ve seen Gladstone’s membership card.

    Shit’s real.

  254. David Gee Says:

    None of these places are as terrifying as eating at Wendy’s. I doubt anybody ever found someone’s finger in their horse penis.

  255. zombieculthero Says:

    oh my fucking god

  256. kingmonkey 3: The Revenge Says:

    Yeah, Swaim. How could you steal from Oddee like that? You owe him 400 internet dollars, and two levels of Street Cred.

    I get the idea that J-Pappi may be involved in the cannibal sushi idea. Somehow, it just has his magical touch to it somewhere. If not, J-Pappi, I may have an idea where you can put your warehouse of dead hookers to use!

  257. ShadowStaarr Says:

    Anyone else turned on by the picture of the girl and the pig? No? Just me? Alright.

    Still don’t think I could kill and eat the first thing I had sex with, so I probably couldn’t eat there.

  258. noo Says:

    the no.1 is totally false.. they cant even name the restaurants
    the writer obviously didnt know what to write and he had to steal some ideas from oddee and made up this crazy story to get peoples attention. how sad is that!!

  259. Guest_Name Says:

    Oh, yeah, Oddee, your article did include somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 of the same restaurants as this one. Also, you write like a twelve year old with severe dyslexia. Why don’t you try this:
    1)Type “Weirdest Restaurants” into a search engine.
    2)See the million article written before yours.
    3)Kill yourself.

    Thanks, and have a lovely day.

  260. K Co Says:

    Wow,this article made me hungry!I think it’s lunchtime!:)

  261. Fishbulb Says:

    Even though I previously read Oddee’s top 10 bizarre restaurant article, I was in know way reminded of it while I was was reading Swaim’s. That either means that Swaim provided enough new info and his writing stile is different enough or that Oddee’s article just wasn’t that memorable. Either way I enjoyed Swaims version.

  262. Yuge Says:

    … why did we stop bombing the Japanese, again?

  263. Michael Swaim Says:

    Oddee: Wow, you’re right; you totally had an article that encompassed about half of this list. I know it’s no consolation, but I didn’t actually see your article while writing this (although I know your site). I’ve written about a hundred Cracked articles at this point, and rest assured, I’ve never written one that wasn’t a rehash of information available SOMEWHERE else on the web, even if I didn’t know it. After all, I do all my research on the Internet, and the Internet is a small place in the end. I guess I justify it by thinking that my particular writing style can help present the information in a new way. I like to think I’m writing a funny article, not just an informational one, and in that sense, there’s something new I’m bringing to the table. Pun intended. See? That’s what I’m talking about.

  264. Dr.Spork Says:

    It’s in LIBYANON! TWICE THE MUSLIM! TWICE THE EEEEEEVIL! Although, really, I’m thinking WWII gave the collective Japanese unconcious a lot of repressed memories and a burning hatred of the cultures of the rest of the world.

  265. jerome Says:

    wow im going to 1

  266. C-Money Says:

    That last one is so messed up, I’m not even sure what to say except WTFRIGGINF!?

  267. classybroad Says:

    I cant believe no ones said anything about that guy in his underwear taking pictures of satan knows what fucking. That is hilarious.

    But seriously, I eat guys I fuck all the time. I don’t see what the big deal is…

  268. Cratey Says:

    This is why humanity is completely doomed in every possible way.
    Tell me, please tell me #1 is just some freak accident that occurred when we all got sucked through a black hole yesterday and will cease to exist soon after it collapses under the weight of its own sheer fucking evil.
    *runs off to weep in a corner*

  269. Gamble Says:

    I first read Buns and Guns as Bums and Guns, imagine a restaurant theme with bums wielding guns. Also I will skip on that cereal after #1…

  270. Gypsum Says:

    depraved people

  271. Aga Bey Says:

    Let´s pretend the number 1 was not mentioned, but actually, funeral parlor as restaurant has something to it. Also, “Coffin Fodder” gets a whole new meaning here, innit?

  272. Metalbrainsurgery Says:

    Gwar was right in writing bring back the bomb. #1 proves it.

  273. Bunky Says:

    @zinkster - absolutely right! Is google maps *that* hard to look at? can’t the writer pull out an atlas?

    Perhaps it just sounds better saying Libya because we all know their president is a kook who harbored terrorists before; but get your facts straight!

    Buns and Guns is indeed in Beirut, Lebanon - I paid them a visit late last may, and was disappointed by the lack of firepower in their food. Pun totally intended.

  274. Star Keeper Says:

    Wow, what a bad one today

  275. MrMonkeyman Says:

    I still wonder why we haven’t nuked Japan again.

  276. Guzzardo Says:

    So, i don’t understand how someone could stoop that low to rape and eat the animal of their choice. Thats fucking nasty.

  277. Gman Says:

    Is Buns and Guns in Libya or Lebanon?

  278. johnnyxblack Says:

    False. It sucked when you wrote it. It looked and sounded like something right out of Condé Nast. This however adea a great start to my day.

  279. MythicFox Says:

    Oddee: It was probably even better when people wrote the article before you.

    But seriously, #1 fucking terrifies me.

  280. SteveZ Says:

    What? I’d totally rape something and then eat it… Seriously though, the article was alright. And animal crackers are kinda like the #1 restaurant. Alright, I warrant with slightly (imagine it was underlined) less animal rape, but the CONCEPT is the same. Look at the world around you, people! America is fed by rape and fast-food!

  281. Aleks Says:

    Yeiii this is really something. I prefer that dinner at tke sky. It’s so cool

  282. Weasel Says:

    Errr, hasnt something almost exaxctly the same as this already been posted here? I mean, the coffin restaurant, the canibalism sushi, dinner in the sky, the toilet place AND the prison restaurant were all mentioned in a similar article.

    I would try and find it but I’m lazier than a sack full of stoned sloths extra whacked-out on methadone.

  283. AtomicSpike Says:

    Oh, god. How can anyone get pleasure out of eating something they raped. That’s serial killer behavior.

  284. feitclub Says:

    Are you sure this isn’t another photoshop contest? Some of these smack of total bullshit or at least gross exaggeration (ESPECIALLY the Japanese ones). The total lack of names or links to sources is a warning sign.

  285. MightyDutchman Says:

    Wow, Oddee.

    They used 4 out of 10 of the restaurants on your list, and instead of writing about them in a serious manner, they turned it into a funny article.

    Obvious plagiarism! ARREST SWAIM!

    Tool.

  289. nate212 Says:

    I may never eat again.

  290. Zinkster Says:

    Is Buns and Guns in Lebanon or Libya? Make up your mind, they are different countries you know.

  294. Cherlindrea Says:

    Wow, that was some amazing writing there Swaim. You never cease to provide the most hilarious and disturbing information possible.

  295. morena Says:

    #1 shows that some people have truly descended to the very last level of inhumanity

  296. Lee Says:

    Jesus, that cannibal restaurant is so creepy. I’m so glad I’m vegetarian xX;
    Nice style, though.

  297. Homer Says:

    I’ve ate at buns and guns. It is basically a subway with pictures of guns on the wall. Thats it. No real guns, just pictures. Granted, most likely the guy sitting next to you carries a gun but the store does not. Oh, and the food sucked. Tasted like sand. Does not even deserve to be on this crappy list. This gimmicky marketing style does not cover up the fact that the food sucked ass.

  298. MJ -89 Says:

    I laughed through most of that but when I got to the end of the first paragraph of #1 my face just sorta dropped and I was a little bit scared. Those poor, poor animals.

    So I’m thinking that the Penis restaurant is in Beijing (causes I hope they’re aren’t too many of them) and there has actually been some stuff about it on the radio here lately. Hamish and Andy, two completely awesome radio hosts that do the drive home show aired across a lot of Aus, went to Beijing for two weeks while the Olympics were on. They’re a couple of guys in their 20s so tend to do stupid, funny shit and decided to play a game at this restaurant. Basically the staff brought out a plate of penises and one of the guys had to guess which animal it was from, if they got it wrong they had to eat it, if they got it right the other one had to eat it. It was both hilarious and disgusting.

    Anyway, if anybody wants to see a whole bunch of photos of what they actually serve there they can here: http://www.fox.com.au/shows/hamishandandy/beijing/day-6

  299. kingmonkey 2.014 Says:

    Gee, I’m at a loss here. I’m really not sure which animal I’d prefer to fuck then eat. “None” springs to mind. Certainly a compelling argument for bestiality, that patron makes.

    Rich people fuck dogs.

    And fuck you, Swaim. Old Fashioned Toilet still makes the best Egg Drop Soup around.
