Take a sip of your drink when Guy interviews someone. Of the four recurring staff that appear with regularity on MXC, Guy shows up the least, but is still almost guaranteed to appear in each episode and interview someone with his fake French accent. His bit is to be the smarmy gross guy who is always thinking about sex and constantly overstepping personal boundaries of the contestants during his interviews with them. Take a sip of your drink when the Captain says, “Get it on.”Īs I mentioned in the previous rule, Guy Le Douche is a recurring character. Take a sip of your drink when the Captain says, “Let’s go!” Take a sip of your drink when the Captain says, “Well, you’re wrong.” So, if you somehow don’t think the other rules quite cut it, you can also follow these rules specific to the Captain. Likewise, he’ll start the game with a wave of his cane and a shout of “Let’s go!” Then, when it’s time for each event to start, he blows his whistle and simply says, “Get it on.” These are all very simple things about MXC that you can count on happening in practically every episode. The Captain starts each episode by greeting the contests, asking them all a question, then promptly telling them that their answer is incorrect. Take another sip if a Ganoush manages to complete the challenge.Īside from Kenny Blankenchip and Vic Romano, there are a few other recurring characters on each episode including Captain Tenneal and Guy Le Douche. Take a sip of your drink when a Ganoush makes an appearance in the episode. Every so often, the person dubbed a Ganoush manages to actually complete the challenge, so you can add on to the rule if you like. Regardless of the reason, a Ganoush is in every episode, even though it’s a completely different person every time.
It might just be a word that someone thought was funny as a person’s name. It may be an inside joke among the writers that we’ll never be privy to knowing. In every episode, there is a contestant, regardless of the team they are supposed to be on, who has the name of Baba Ganoush, or Swarma Ganoush, or something similar.
While this sounds like a delicious dip that I’ve never tried, this has a lot to do with MXC for one reason. Baba Ganoushīaba ghanoush, also spelled baba ganoush or baba ghanouj, is a Levantine appetizer of Lebanese origin consisting of mashed cooked eggplant, olive oil, lemon juice, various seasonings, and sometimes tahini Maybe that means I haven’t matured much, but if you’ve never seen it for yourself, and you have an open mind towards the comedy of the early 2000’s and the slapstick humor of watching people dramatically fail on obstacle courses, you might enjoy it.įor the sake of just writing a little more, I’ll add some bonus rules to this game. While the jokes of MXC would be considered far too tasteless by today’s standards to ever allow it to air on television in 2021, it’s a nostalgic piece of comedic gold for me that is still funny when I watch it, nearly 20 years since I first saw it. All the dialogue of the cast and participants of Takeshi’s Castle was re-written to create funny referential jokes and characters for the made-up themes of the episodes. There is probably not a single thing that happens in the show that was directly translated. Rather than simply translate the original Japanese directly to English, the creators of MXC took a more comedic approach. The thing that made MXC so great and unique was in how the show was re-dubbed for TV in the US. I just know that it was similar to Ninja Warrior and American Gladiators, but the contestants were just regular people who didn’t necessarily work out every day to have the perfect athletic physique that is often require to compete in those sorts of shows. I don’t know what the reward was for going on the show and possibly getting injured. MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) was an American comedy television program that aired on Spike TV from 2003 to 2007. It was a redubbed version of a Japanese game show called Takeshi’s Castle in which contestants would go through rigorous and goofy obstacles to achieve victory. I didn’t care for it so much.MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) was a show that launched with the TV network of Spike TV back in the early 2000’s. I Survived a Japanese Game Show wasn’t that cool though. I want to go on that show because it just looked like so much fun. Wipeout was to funny…the big red balls tripped me out. Enjoy!įor the best answers, search on this site The original game show however was called Yoshi’s Castle (but in Japanese). The “original” re-dub was called Most Extreme Challenge (MXC) on Spike TV. What was the Japanese or Chinese game show like Wipeout that was on spike tv? It was called Most Extreme Challenge i believe… or MXC… something like that. it was just like the american show wipeout, were the people would do stupid things but it was funny. So i know the show was on spike tv and i forgot the name of it.
