In 1996 the Tokyo Shock Boys entertained Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II and her husband, the funkily titled prince consort. During this infamous performance, the four Shock Boys didn’t only fart in front of the royal couple, they lit them afterwards.

“The queen was sitting in the front row,” says Shock Boy Nambu, a chap known for his iron testicles. “Danna’s naked bottom was right in her face.” Danna, aka Buns of Steel, insists this did not breach royal etiquette. “It’s only rude to fart in front of the queen if you don’t light it afterwards,” he says with a completely straight face. “That way you turn it into a celebration.”

Between bouts of fiery farting, the extreme pranksters celebrated the Danish royals by dragging heavy objects around with their genitals, shooting fireworks from their rectums, breaking chopsticks between their butt cheeks and expressing milk from their eyes.

“Some of the papers said it might damage Japan’s relationship with Denmark but the queen really enjoyed it,” says Nambu. “Apparently she has an artistic mind.”

Ah yes, there is royal life in Denmark – just not as we know it.
