Anyone remember watching this? It was the inspiration for total wipeout which i also remember watching a lot of
Never saw the real thing just the redubbed recut version Most eXtreme Challenge.
between this, robot wars, and reruns of red dwarf, craig charles is a huge part of my childhood
Worth listening to his BBC6 shows, he has great taste in funk and punk.
We rewatched all of robot wars during lockdown. It was so good. Until the Dara O'Brien reboot.
i remember being such a big fan of razer and thermidor 2 growing up. and also wanting díotóir to win, like, anything
Diotoir eventually got a spinner if I remember correctly and did really well in one season.
I remember when panic attack won. The most outclassed robot ever. My Welsh dad fucking loved it.
In Spain it was called "Humol Amarillo" ("Yellow Humor", only misspelled to imply a 'Japanese' accent) 💀💀💀💀
Just used to watch the US dubs.
Japanese game shows really are something else. Takeshi’s castle, the game where they bite things to see if they’re food or real… shits wild.
To be fair the game where they bite stuff to see if its food is really good fun. We should have shows like that under socialism
Gaki no tsukai is the funniest show I've ever seen even without eng subs.
There was a time period where Takeshi's Castle and the original Japanese Ninja Warrior were a constant fixture on Finnish TV. They also started showing women's Ninja Warrior and all I remember is the same lady winning the contest like 5 times in a row
OG Ninja Warrior/Sasuke was so good! Always liked the early rounds as a kid, where you'd get all the kinda silly competitors like Mr. Octopus
The funniest part of those paper door ones is you can see all the scuff marks from the people who slammed into the wooden doors beforehand, the paper door is immaculate because nobody went through it yet. It's so easy to see which is the correct one and yet they still slam themselves into the solid doors over and over.
Good news! It didn’t just exist in the past tense, it’s actually got a new season! It is on Amazon, so hoist that flag if you need, but it’s actually great. Getting to watch the eps in order cuts down on some of the insanity, but there’s still plenty of off the wall wackiness to be had :)
Used to watch this in Pogo. Javed Jaffrey was really good with his Hindi jokes and puns.
I’d have it playing in the background 24/7 if I could find more than two subbed episodes of the original
I liked the show, but I seem to remember Craig Charles commonly calling contestants on the show "Happy Slappy Jappy Chappy"
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Hell yeah. I would watch this in hindi dubbing done by javed jaffrey on tv. Damn.
