Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC) is probably the one show nobody ever thought would be funny, but it turned out to be one of the most anticipated shows rotated into Spike TV's lineup. This show comes from Japan, where it is broadcast as a real game show. But here in the states they just edit their voice in and let the comedy flow. The show honestly keeps me laughing consistently, for it's stupid humor. The people doing the voices really come up with some of the dumbest stuff to make up for the voices, but in the end it turns out to be a hilarious combo with the real footage of the original show. So honestly check this one out for comedic purposes, don't watch for the competition, watch for the comedic edge.10/10

If your sense of humor runs along the lines of ridiculous, unbelievably silly, and downright immature (like mine!) then you will absolutely LOVE this show! The Japanese "sports" challenges themselves are very goofy and quite creative. My favorite challenges involve jumping off a trampoline and trying to stick to a Velcro wall and running across huge spinning foam logs above a muddy water pit. Just watching the show on mute could make me erupt in helpless giggles, but what really sends me over the edge is the outrageous comments made by the voice-overs. The combination of the two is unmatched in television, as far as I'm concerned.Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can only see it on TV, since it hasn't released to DVD yet. I am fervently hoping it comes out on DVD soon.

This is one of those shows that I only watch when I happen to turn on the TV when it is on (or more often, when I come home and my roommates are watching it, since I almost never watch TV), but every single time I see it I am rolling on the floor laughing. It's easy to call something like this stupid, mindless fun, but the idea of it is great and, if nothing else, the voiceovers are brilliant. The hosts say the most random things imaginable but are unbelievably hilarious. I just saw an episode a few minutes ago which featured some military guys against some beauty pageant people (that's about the extent of my knowledge, I couldn't hear much more than that over my own laughter) and one of hosts says, "I just tried to talk to the beauty pageant winner but she totally blew me off," to which the other host understandingly replied, "Yeah, they win one beauty pageant and it goes right to their life-like heads."Such a simple line, but I almost fell out of my chair laughing at it. The jokes are not really jokes, they hide their punch-lines in normal sounding conversation which makes it even funnier because, as Gallagher has taught us, "Comedy is a surprise, you see. If I just did what you expected all the time it wouldn't be damn funny!" Needless to say, the jokes in this show are so outlandish and so random that it's impossible not to laugh, even if only at the obscurity of it all. The summary line above, for example, was exclaimed by a woman as she jumped up to take her best shot at becoming one of the ten most painful eliminations of the day.This has been brought up on the message boards for this movie, but if they ever come out with a DVD collection of this show I will be the first guy in line to add it to my tiny collection of TV show DVDs, along with my Simpsons collections and Sledge Hammer collection. This show makes me laugh harder and more consistently than The Simpsons, which is by far my favorite TV show of all time. Every episode of MXC that I see brings it closer to the top of my list, and although it will never pass the Simpsons, this is not a show to be missed. Bring on the DVDs!

I really enjoy this show. The challenges are nearly impossible and the wipe outs are often spectacular. The voice overs are so outrageous that there isn't a drop of self righteousness anywhere. It is hysterical to watch the Japanese people in their little helmets failing miserably and getting slammed into a pit of mud face first.It is the perfect injury/reality/comedy TV, something that will appeal mostly to men but some women as well.Not a bad show for Spike TV.This, from a culture that dispenses soiled panties from vending machines.God bless Japan!
