| Comments | The beginning sequence of this episode is a parody of a long-running MBC drama about families living in one country town. The first segment is Muhan News, followed by the members harvesting sweet potatoes from a field. They then go through an obstacle course, with the winners eating the sweet potatoes they picked (but everyone gets to eat at the end). They finish up by teaming up in pairs and carting their partner around an obstacle course. | ||

The members are also joined by actor Cha Tae Hyeon, who finished filming his latest movie. They continue to create Native American names for themselves, playing a few games, "rescuing" bananas out of huge blocks of ice, and completing their final mission, which is entitled "Saving Private Ramen" (an obvious parody of Saving Private Ryan).

Hyeong-Don teaches History, Junha teaches Korean, Jae-Seok teaches Ethics, Myeong-su teaches Chinese Characters, Ha Ha teaches Music, and Hong-Cheol teaches Home Economics. This is preceded by a short Muhan News-like skit where the members discuss trivial news, like which of them went on a blind date the week before. The last skit is one in which each member stands on the school roof and yells down at the other members about their true feelings. | ||

| Comments | During this episode, the staff of Muhan Dojeon made a parody of a piece of International News Broadcast (as 'topics' section) that captured from Tagesschau. Here is a transcript of it (in English). "Guten Tag, meine Damen und Herren (Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentleman). Recently in South Korea, there is a wrangle that a non-mainstream group demands a fake-laugh to the viewers of Saturday Night. A programme called 'Muhan Dojeon' (means 'Infinite Challenge' in Korean), the people which looks abnormal, has been made a huge shock to female viewers with shaking the lower half of body called 'Low-quality Dance'. Moreover, they made a dispute that protested in the rain with no reason to compel the viewers' laugh. In respect to this, the staff added an extra dispute with answering that "The rain is falling by rain, then, the snow heaps?". However, these 6 guys don't care about it, and bluffed it out that there will be more rashless things happens continuously."[6] Its national ratings was marked 17.8%. | ||

The members challenged an annual recruit of MBC for the seat of experienced entertainment producer (경력직 예능프로듀서), with having their (quite) well-made D.I.Y. experience which featured on the previous episodes of 69, 70, and 71. First of all, they checked their resumes, however, this process created a huge laugh for its viewers. Segments aired included Yu Jae-seok (who showed his self-confidence strongly), Park Myeong-su (who seriously threatened the MBC to pick him - otherwise he might move to other contenders such as KBS and SBS) and Ha Ha (featured his composition skills, which looked like those of an elementary school student). |
