Does Anyone Here Watch MXC?

I thought there were no comedy shows. Plenty of comedy movies, but no shows. I'm not saying there aren't any GOOD shows, just not enough comedies. Well anyways, that was until I saw MXC, or Most Extreme Elimination Competitions, ot something like that.

I had originally gone on to watch some Gary the Rat show on Spike, which turned out not to be that great, and found this show, MXC. It was the funniest show I ever saw. I was laughing so hard the first time, and it got funnier every new episode.

It's where these Oriental people go through different challenges, on two different teams. The team with the highest score at the end wins. Doesn't sound to funny, huh? And normally I don't think that would be that funny, except for the part where all of their voices are instead played by other people, there's a word to describe that, but I can't think of it... Off the subject again, and the three commentators, the best part of the show, Ken Blankinship and Vic Ramano, are hilarious.

If you didn't know this allready, then you probably haven't seen it. Well, the new season started last week, and the next episode is tomorrow, Thursday, at 10 pm. The premiere of the season was really great, with college students and Tony Hawk playing.

I was just wondering if anyone else here happens to watch this show like I do?

It's the best show on Spike TV...indeed.

A good show it is, with lots of injuries none the less. Too bad they stopped making Takeshi's Castle in the 80's.

With all the fake voices, Spike TV is in business for a long time anyway.

Um, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, South Park? Duh!


I laugh at Japanese people for a living.

I looked it up and they have enough material for 500 episodes.

MXC? THat show is sick. It makes me want to hurl. Especially when they have that competition were they run really fast across stepping stones and crack their nuts against the things.

The new season has the obsticals done by americans and tourists in florida using footage from the original show as commentator segments-and here's the best part:

They are still dubbing the contestants and giving them fake names.

I wasn't a fan before, but that addition is hilarious.

MXC is my favorite show on television right now (other than Chappele's Show of course!). I love every part of the show. The Captain Tenneal is my hero! I watched it the first night it came out and watch it almost every night now. I ESPECIALLY like the part when they run across the little rocks and crush their balls! :twisted:
