[Adult Shiritori]
A new rule for the word game where players must only use words that "elementary schoolers wouldn't know." Mrs. GREEN APPLE and their guests often struggle against surprisingly knowledgeable children. The bizarre answers from cornered performers are hilarious!
[Star Discovery x Mrs.]
A location segment where members visit schools across the country. During a visit to Narashino High School, keyboardist Ryoka Fujisawa was moved to tears by the brass band's performance and sign language. It's a must-see for drama that goes beyond just laughs.

- The Old Man's Original Impatient Food Stall (Motoki Ohmori) A talk skit where Ohmori, dressed as a stubborn old man (Oyassan), tries to get guests to reveal their true feelings in the shortest time possible. The fast-paced tempo, where guests are suddenly forced to reveal their unknown sides while being swept up in the impatient proceedings, is the best!
- Wakai's Fishing Pond (Hiroto Wakai) A surreal mini-skit where "Young Boy Wakai" with red cheeks waits for fish at a pond. When he pulls up his rod, a soaking wet celebrity guest suddenly emerges from the set's pond! Wakai's genuine panic at the unexpected "big catch" is a guaranteed laugh.
- Prankster Ryo-chan (Ryoka Fujisawa) A corner where Fujisawa is called out alone by staff and has pranks played on him right before fake recordings. His gentle and pure personality shines through as he gives soft reactions and even apologizes to insects or animals.
3. "Inside Jokes" That Make It More Fun!
- Ryoka Fujisawa inherits the title of "The Tetsuro Degawa of the Music World" Despite being a world-class keyboardist, Fujisawa displays incredible natural airheadedness and reactions in game battles. Veteran comedian Tetsuro Degawa, who appeared on the show, certified him as his "disciple," saying, "He smells just like me!"
- Reiwa Era, but with Early Heisei Variety Vibes If they fail a game, they get covered in flour from head to toe. They get hit with hot water or blasted in the face by giant fans, resulting in hilarious distorted faces. Even Hiroto Wakai, the cool and stylish guitarist, doesn't hesitate to get his face painted white. Their commitment to enjoying TV is highly praised by the comedians they co-star with!
- M!LK's Daichi Shiozaki's Alias: "Mommy Blue" Daichi Shiozaki was nicknamed "Jenga Mommy" for his bossy instructions during Giant Jenga.
