MXC--Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (vanity)
Spike TV | 8/27/04 | me

Posted on 08/27/2004 9:48:45 AM PDT by IN Farm Girl

This is my first vanity post...bear with me...

Has anyone seen--and what do you think of--the show "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" on Spike TV? I was flipping around channels last night after watching some Olympic action. Talk about the anti-Olympics!

I must admit that I was laughing so hard I was crying, at times. This is an actual Japanese TV show that is dubbed over in English (ala "Iron Chef").

I'd like to know what you all think of it. Of course, I liked "Let's Bowl", so for what it's worth... . Maybe I'm sicker than I thought!

I might have to reconsider my tagline and substitute "two drink minimum" after seeing the Finance vs. Liquor MXC!

Kenny Blankenship: "And here we have Bob McCullen from Flint, Michigan. Bob's an on-line shop teacher who also moonlights as a pearl necklace distributor."

Vic Romano: "Right you are, Ken."

MXC is the funniest show I've seen in a very long time.

It's not "dubbed" per se. The English is completely invented and independent of the Japanese.

The show is a riot but it got old fast for me.

Not to downplay the relevance of your post but has anyone tried that Cortaslim stuff?  Does it work or is it a waste of money?

Have you seen the Log Drop event yet? That's the most brutal one by far.

I got so many suggestions on how to stop my cat from peeing on the rug, I figured I'd use the same method to address the fact that I eat like a goat and have a waist the size of a basketball court.
 
If I find out it works, maybe I can try some of your delicious sounding cookie recipes.

The first season made me laugh out loud rather frequently. Hilarious stuff.

Now in it's second season. For some reason it's more of a mild amusement that laugh-out-loud funny. Maybe the novelty has worn off, maybe the jokes don't quite back the same punch, or too many repeats. Oh well.

But still a great concept.

And now it's time for Kenny Blankenship's most painful eliminations of the day.

I just discovered MXC a couple of months ago - that show slays me! I'm a Three Stooges fan, so the sheer slapstick aspect is appealing. But the voiceovers are really subtle and funny. I'd love to see the original program this uses footage from!

The look on Vic and Kenny's face is priceless.

I love that show! I have a bunch of episodes on tape. I visited some friends of mine in New England in June, and I brought the tape with me. They had never seen it before. They were laughing a lot. One of my friends laughed so hard in a way I had never seen before. I like the "Monsters vs. Product Mascots" episode, and the one where they test new games.
