For the third consecutive time, Yamazaki, Downtown, and Cocorico took part in the annual punishment game. The setting was a hotel and it aired on New Year's Eve at 6:30pm until 12:30am on New Year's Day. Numerous cameo and guest appearances were made, including Masahiro Chono, Masahiro Tanaka, Natsumi Ogawa ( Hamada's wife ), Endō's ex-wife Chiaki, Jyunji Endō ( Endō's younger brother), Masako Mori, Ayumi Nakamura, Monta Yoshinori, and Yoshimi Iwasaki.

The Gaki no Tsukai cast participate in the 5th annual punishment game (the 6th New Years show in the No Laughing Series). The filming took place at Ibaraki Airport, in November 2011. Here Hamada, Matsumoto, Yamasaki, Endo and Tanaka were trained to become CA's (or Flight Attendants). The airing began on New Year's Eve 31 December 2011 at 6:30pm and ran through 12:30am the next day (Japanese Standard Time). (This year broke through the 2007 record with Matsumoto receiving 302 punishments.)

The cast is dressed as teachers and has to take a hard training in the teacher academy, before they can enter the real school. One big part of the batsu takes place in the Endo-periode, when the casts time-slips back in to time.
