Anyone used to watch this show? It used to be on Spike TV though has ended for a while now. Sometimes it seems a bit repetitive since it shows the same games eventually but then the commentary always cracks me up and keeps me watching.

If you don't know what it is, MXC is Most Extreme Elimination Challenge - a (fake) dub of a Japanese Game Show called Takeshi's Castle.

I used to watch this show in the summer time and recently started re watching.

You can find several episodes on Youtube. Here is one of my favorites from the first Season.

If you seen it - favorite games, episode, lines, etc?
In the episode I posted above I just love the Pancreas moment. Also I find the rivalry match ups they do to be funny - especially when they make no sense.

I loved this show so much!

My favorite line is probably during the Teenagers (?) vs Athletes episode, where one of the girls went "No one understands me!"

I love waiting for the "babaganoosh" last name in every ep.

"Right you are, Ken"!

I have the first 3 DVD sets, but need to get the next ones.

The silent reaction shot at :07 seconds in kills me every time

^ Hahahaha. I remember that! Especially the part where his kid wants nothing to do with him. I really love when they overplay or dramatize the pain. Like when someone dances "Oh man looks like they are having a seizure."

@Herodadotus
Yeah, sometimes the contestant lines are funnier than anything the commentators say - which is saying something cause the commentators crack me up.

Line I just heard while watching Reality TV vs. Animal Lovers was great.
Vic: "Well that brings us up to 2 to 2"
Ken: "Wow, that's almost even."

Lmao The first time I seen that one part of the show during a marathon on spike tv had me literally dying of laughter. I could not stop cracking up at how it randomly just happened. That was the episode that good me hooked on MXC. Aside from that, I always remember one of the contestants name to be Babaganoosh.

One of my favorite games.

One of my favorite lines for this game (but not in this clip) is something like "Look how he just BURNS around the Widowmaker turn!" as he's going ever slowly. Then Kenny adds "Thank god for those guard rails."

haha and in the video "and are killed on impact"

Also the Boulderdash when "Kenny" tries it out.
No sound for it though meh.

Ah shit, this show used to be freaking amazing. This is parody done at its finest. I love the commentary and how everything that's said fits so well despite how random what they say is. Sometimes, I browse t.v. guide and pray that one day it'll return. T_T

iPenguin

Yeah, I'd do the same would love to see re-runs on TV, alas I never see any. Watching online works for now anyways. I agree its an awesome parody. When I first started watching I thought the dialog was an actual dub of what they were really saying it fit so well even if it was random haha. Of course I caught on later the same episode.

Came across a fun episode today, Former Olympians.
The actual contestants really are international so I guess it was a special edition of Takeshi's Castle. What I love most is the score is USA vs. The World.

Episode is here

Favorite line: "She has an amazing ability to jump without actually leaving the ground"

Loved Takeshi in Kikujiro, thought he was just as funny in Takeshi's Castle.

Dash to Death was always one of my major favorites. It was epically hilarious in its own way.
