Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. The giant mushrooms, vollyeballs being fired at people's groins, etc., is only made even better by the intentionally off-color fake dubbing.

Sometimes we're not even sure if the people doing the dubbing even know what's going on. (Usually it's obvious, but sometimes....)

Ah here we go youtube comes through.

They called that the 25 best but I know I've seen better. Though there are some good ones in there.

Anyway the dubbed version plays in America. They also tried to make an actual american verison at some point. Don't know how that did though.

An American version? Half the fun is the characteristically Japanese bead-and-feather show.

That clip is hi-larious. It's like people decided to make real-life Super Mario Bros. levels.

I've seen that show. I watch it all the time, in fact, but is it not called Takeshi's Castle? That's what it's listed as over here.

Takashi's Castle is the Japanese game show - Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is the American version with the purposefully-incorrect (and often off-color) dub, renaming of the commentators and teams, etc.

Ah, right.
