Idiots!!! How could they...

Yeh, have you ever seen the Japenese Game Show "Takeshi's Castle" :bounce:
 
Never seen it. Though after reading this from this website....

Takeshi's Castle is a Japanese game show which is broadcast across countries all over the world. As the program is in Japanese, the program is voiced over by Englands very own Craig Charles who presents the TV program Robot Wars and also has starred in Red Dwarf.

Takeshi's Castle is guarded by Count Takeshi and his henchman. Different henchmen appear in different games throughout the program. The toughest of these are the Elite Guard who graud the castle from General Lee (also known as General Tani) and his volunteers.

In each show, General Lee gets 100 volunteers together who have to pass all the challenges to get the chance to storm Takeshi's Castle. Each round the numbers of volunteers is dramatically cut down in size as there is loads who do not make it through to the next round.

A final few volunteers then make it to the Final Showdown to face the Emerald Guard in their "dinky daleks" or "mobile discos" as Craig Charles says.

I can say i'm a little more than interested. Heh. Especially when reading the 'injury' section.

There are some seriously hilarious moments - people must hurt themselves so very badly on some of the games. There's a game of stepping stones that you have to run across at full speed (spanning a river), and some of them aren't fixed in place - people regularly go ricocheting off into a fixed stepping stone (they're not rocks or anything, but it's still a fairly solid material) face first or torso first.
 
Takeshi's Castle is perhaps the greatest television program ever :)

Craig Charles does a top job in commentating.

"black balls bouncing off her behind"
"his ring has been perforated"

Jokes like that never get tired lol

ahhh you mean Most Extreme challenge or MXC on spiketv ...it's the original Takeshi's castle dubbed in english by guys who probably make it up as they go. Funny stuff, much better than Fear Factor, which in my opion is no fun cuz there's no possiblity people will be hurt, unlike Takeshi's castle

That's a different show.

It's funny, but Takeshi's Castle is the daddy :afro:
 
but ...it uses footage taken from takeshi's castle, it says so at the end ..they just change the dialogue
 
Thats funny stuff. I guess they didn't like Ridge Racer either. Seriously, I'm surprised that thing took the beating it did before folding and breaking into peices.

Anti-Sony is my guess. I'm just glad they didn't do that to a DS, then I may have actually cried.

Actually he was right MXC and Takeshi's Castle are the same show. Unless there are two different japanese gameshows with the same premise both starring Takeshi Kitano. Which I suppose is a remote possibility.

Sure - I just prefer the original dubbed by Craig Charles :) (on challenge TV)
 
hmmmm craig charles? must be a brit thing cuz here the main characters are named Kenny Blankenship, Vic Romano and Guy LeDouche
 
lol mxc is fun =). i havent seen the british version of that show so no comment there.

It's not dubbed by Craig Charles, he just narrates the original footage. As you say, yours has been edited and dubbed into English.
 
Isn't MXC divided into teams competing agaisnt each other? (unless i'm thinking of a completely different show)

In all the episodes of Takeshi's castle i've seen there's 100 contestants trying to progress through each round without being eliminated.
 
Wow , wow now that we have switched to subject of TV shows, does anyone here agree with me that the narrator of the show Extreme Exposure is the most annoying, obnoxious ****ing looser moron ever to grace our TV's.

(edit: sorry had to take that off my mind, but god do i hate his comments. He, Tweety, and Jerry(from tome & jerry) deserve to be kicked in the nuts, oh yeah and though homer is funny he's still an ass, he deserves to be kicked in the nuts to)
 
This thread got soooo hijacked its not even funny. Japanese TV is funny though.
 
Japanese people is the weirdest in the world :) But kinda funny too..
 
I'm kind of suprised how much of a beating that it took before it fell apart...
 
That's because it's made in Japan, not Taiwan.

Unlike the DS, of course. :p

Ah, but they're probably all playing on their DS's and having a good time ;)
 
they should have given ME the PSP....




i would have done a much better job at destroying it :devil:
 
Takeshi's castle is great - the stepping stone ones genius as well as the one where they have to cross the rickety bridge and get balls pelted at 'em with a cannon :LOL:

Anyone ever see the bowling one? LOL that was funny, they all just stand there hopelessly in their pin costumes and some huge bowling ball (not a real one, but pretty damn solid) comes flying down and knocked 'em over the place :D

Genius!
 
Wow, PSP must suck. I mean it's made by the japanese, and the japanese we're destroying it.
 
The PSP is awesome, them japs are DS fanboys... Besides, look at the beating the PSP took before it even broke... the DS would have disintegrated in the first impact

:p
 
I dunno - a DS is pretty sturdy. Not as tough as a PSP, though.

The more I see Metal Gear Acid the more I want a PSP :) Unfortunately, there are loads of games and hardware higher up on the 'must buy' list, so it'll have to wait a while.

(edit - a recent 6/10 in Edge has put me off a little. Will play on a m8s copy first)
 
Going to have to view this at home. School slow as net.

I believe that PSP was broken before they decided to demolish it. So technically it would have taken more to destroy the DS. :D
