Shin Chan is a Japanese animated show that follows the often-inappropriate adventures of a young boy named Shin. Season 1, episode 22 is titled "Damn You, Telepathy!" and centers around Shin and his family as they explore the possibility of mind-reading abilities.

The episode begins with Shin's father, Hiroshi, reading a magazine article about telepathy. Shin is intrigued by the idea and begins to try to read his family's minds, much to their annoyance. They soon realize they're not alone in their attempt at telepathy when they come across another family that seems to be able to read their minds.

Throughout the episode, the two families engage in various activities together, such as bowling and going to an amusement park. As they interact, they continue to test out their telepathy skills and become increasingly convinced that they possess this ability.

However, their excitement is short-lived when they come to the realization that they've all been wearing headsets that enable them to hear each other's thoughts. Embarrassed, they try to avoid each other, but Shin's family ends up getting stuck on a ride with the other family.

As they wait for help, they have to try to keep their thoughts to themselves while still trying to figure out if the other family is thinking anything embarrassing about them. In a comedic turn of events, they end up accidentally revealing their thoughts aloud and embarrassing themselves even further.
