also if you live in minneapolis a local restaurant, khan's mongolian bbq, plays MXC all day. food is also really good

[–]MasterCronus 19 points20 points ago

Sounds like the perfect place for a reddit meetup. Now I just need a flight to that middle part of the country.

[–]DerpExplosion 7 points8 points ago

Make sure you get Somalian food while you are in Minneapolis.

[–]cynthiadangus 0 points1 point ago

Make sure you get Somali food

FTFY

[–]DerpExplosion 0 points1 point ago

Gee whiz, thank you so much.

[–]nevercared -1 points0 points ago

This guy is clearly from Minnesota, considering he knows the proper adjective.

[–]cynthiadangus 0 points1 point ago

Yep.

[–]nuworldblue -1 points0 points ago

Right you are Ken.

[–]noise_tank 5 points6 points ago

as far as tv shows to have running in the background mxc is by far the best

[–]ayaPapaya 5 points6 points ago

OOOH, where?!

[–]bmg50barrett 5 points6 points ago

I would try google.

[–]ayaPapaya 4 points5 points ago

google? where's that?

[–]bmg50barrett 0 points1 point ago

I heard about it from Homeless Harry.

[–]UniqueName2 1 point2 points ago

That guy needs to Google a dentist.

[–]MinneapolisNick 1 point2 points ago

The one in Richfield.

[–]right_foot 1 point2 points ago

Which one? I found one in Richfield, one in Roseville, and one in Coon Rapids. I'm really hoping for Roseville, since that's like a five minute drive.

[–]cynthiadangus 2 points3 points ago

Cool, that's right near the Countryside Restaurant and their famous broasted chicken. Last time I was in there I saw a guy with a nose the size of a Smart car.

[–]FrankReynolds 1 point2 points ago

I can confirm that the Roseville one has had MXC on every time I have been there.

[–]bluelph24 1 point2 points ago

I came here to mention this. Whenever I go to the Roseville location, I'm always pleasantly surprised that they are still playing MXC. That show was my middle-school years.

[–]sparklyjesus 1 point2 points ago

Nice! I make sure to hit up Kahn's every time I'm in town.

[–]FrankReynolds 2 points3 points ago

Khan's is awesome. I go to the Roseville one all the time.

MXC is one of the best things about it. Also, don't take a running swing at the gong, or they get upset.

Khan's protip:


Put all your meat/veggies/etc. in the bowl first, then put your noodles on top. It's easier to pack a shitload of food into the bowl that way. Also, always use at least one ladle of cooking wine and house spicy.

[–]jaketessem 0 points1 point ago

[–]gmoneyshot69 16 points17 points ago

[–]scroobydoo 14 points15 points ago

And I thought finding every episode of Whose Line on line was good... I am forever grateful.

[–]danester1 2 points3 points ago

[–]iamrory 5 points6 points ago

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I found it in a thread like 2 days ago. I want to go outside but THEY ARE SO FUNNY

[–]scroobydoo 1 point2 points ago

[–]noise_tank 1 point2 points ago

honestly, I thought more people knew about this stream

[–]reederjr 4 points5 points ago

Whoever Justin.tv is, God bless him!

[–]BudL0 2 points3 points ago

couldnt upvote enough. watching this all night. its been too long.

[–]redmachined 2 points3 points ago

Sweet mother of mercy, it's like god descended upon us just to give us the gift of Sinkers & Floaters on demand, so that we may never go without seeing some waifish Japanese waitress take a header into a pond.

[–]kratchville 2 points3 points ago

And I had such big plans for this summer... Ah well.

[–]mahaugher 2 points3 points ago

Thank you so much, like seriously. THIS needs its own post right now.

[–]Hsad 3 points4 points ago

I love you.

[–]TheLunchboxThief 1 point2 points ago

Lol, whoever's running this live stream just casually pulled up a picture of a penis then quickly hid it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Not two minutes in and they're already extolling the virtues of the "Gay Rape Plex." Thank you, kind Redditor.

[–]Tetchy 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry for being so ignorant, but what is this show? I don't recognize the people pictured :P

[–]gmoneyshot69 10 points11 points ago

Most Extreme Elmination Challenge (MxC).

It's amazing. Watch it when you have a chance.

[–]a1579 1 point2 points ago

Wow, the american voice overs are terrible. They sucked out all of Kitano's humor and turned it into slapstick.

Watch it in original (with subtitles).

[–]bohemianmichfestie 0 points1 point ago

Thank you sir or madam.

That's right, its the Teet Gleaners against the Feet Cleaners!

[–]dickthewhite 2 points3 points ago

this is not upvoted enough

[–]Zombare 22 points23 points ago*

And here comes Douche Babaganush, a full time couch sitter and OH, well it looks like he may have to find a new full time job, Vic.

Edit: spelling

[–]pseudolobster 20 points21 points ago

The original show seems much more interesting, but I'd miss the cheesy commentary.

[–]fuggetabouddit 26 points27 points ago

Ohhh..heheh..Guy like!

[–]HoboYellow 5 points6 points ago

I have a Guy Le Douche facebook account. so then Guy can like comments for me.

[–]catnipassian 3 points4 points ago

That's cute.

BABA-GANUSH!

[–]HappaVet 19 points20 points ago

Beat Takeshi has been in way better stuff than this show. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001429/

[–]Tinysauce 8 points9 points ago

Oh shit, he was the teacher in Battle Royale? What a beast.

[–]Gentleman_of_Wit 6 points7 points ago

I was gonna say "Man he looks old."

But yeah, 1947 was 65 years ago.

[–]FFkm 10 points11 points ago

They both have honored places on Japanese TV and in Japanese culture. The one on the left went on to become governor of Miyazaki prefecture and is currently back on the variety show circuit. The one on the right is "Beat" Takeshi Kitano, comedian-turned-internationally acclaimed director of films such as Zatoichi, Sonatine, Battle Royale, and Hana-bi.

[–]SwimmingNaked 2 points3 points ago

Sounds like great targets for an AMA.

[–]anothermuffin 7 points8 points ago

In Britain I still get both this and the British version. (same show, British commentary, different format)

Gonna miss it when I head back to the states.

[–]nononao 1 point2 points ago

There's a British version???

With the guy from Red Dwarf commenting on it.

[–]emcredneck 7 points8 points ago

Who's up next Kenny Blankenship? It's Stevie Bubagonush. He's a retail salesman for a dildo company that uses the rubber from recycled tires. Thank you for that info Ken.

[–]Captain_d00m 3 points4 points ago

"Ah yes, Stevie's Eco-Tire Pleasure Device. Lets sing the jingle. 'Our dildos are made from recycled tires, and to get it out you're gonna need pliers!'"

[–]emcredneck 1 point2 points ago

Nice! Up vote for being creative!!!!!!!

[–]stevejFTW 4 points5 points ago

Wipeouts funny but MXC is fucking amazing.

[–]bobbybusche 3 points4 points ago

I've resorted to ninja warrior which isn't as funny at times but sometimes worth a laugh or two.

[–]TheReginator 0 points1 point ago

Have you watched Wipeout?

[–]DadWasntYourMoms1st 7 points8 points ago

Never compare MXC to Wipeout again.

[–]JacobMHS 9 points10 points ago

You shut your dirty whore mouth.

[–]ekanderson 5 points6 points ago

Takeshi Kitano never left TV, he's on it everyday in Japan. Turn it on at any time and you'll see him on an ad, a reality show or something.

[–]MrBlowinUP 2 points3 points ago

What was the name of this show, I used to watch it when it came one.

[–]Nomad33 7 points8 points ago

Most Extreme Elimination Challenge!

[–]C0debreak 6 points7 points ago

or better known by the acronym MXC.

[–]interrupting_candy 2 points3 points ago

a million times better than Wipeout!

[–]original-finder 36 points37 points ago

[–]V3RTiG0 5 points6 points ago

Turning something good, into something better:

[–]pHreaksYcle 0 points1 point ago

They're elite. Let's get 'em.

[–]Karbaum 2 points3 points ago

Does anyone know if they are still alive?

[–]nononao 1 point2 points ago

Takeshi is, I dunno who the other guy even is...

[–]Armandeus 1 point2 points ago

"Beat" Takeshi (Takeshi Kitano) is still on Japanese TV and he makes movies. "Sonomanma Higashi" (Hideo Higashikokubaru) was governor of Miyazaki prefecture in Japan and even tried running for governor of Tokyo. He makes occasional appearances on Takeshi's TV talk shows. Both are alive and well.

[–]i8afisch 2 points3 points ago

Every time I see knockoffs of this show and hear people being entertained by it (or worse, laughing at it) it makes me miss the good old days. Rainy days in boring motel rooms as a kid were a paradise when this show was on.

[–]Taintsweat 2 points3 points ago

Bring back Babaghanoosh!!

[–]RangerAhab 2 points3 points ago

Way funnier than Wipeout.

[–]heriman 2 points3 points ago

i really though beat takeshi kitano was awesome in Kikujiro

[–]Maplicker 2 points3 points ago

Dont forget baba ganoush, the man who competes in every show!

[–]dailyfusion 2 points3 points ago

HACK THE PLANET!!!

[–]Sjgolf891 2 points3 points ago

First time I ever saw MXC, i literally rolled on the floor laughing

[–]eiddam 2 points3 points ago

The reason why I eat Baba Ganoush is because of this show

[–]mr_tw 2 points3 points ago

I loved this show. Wipeout is almost as good

[–]brutalsun 2 points3 points ago

MXC... most extreme elimination challenge. Imagine somebody invade that part of your brain, the part where you press mute on the TV and you insert random shit you think the contestants would be saying... now have them doing impossible challenges the entire time. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5214388990912034244

[–]trumanbloke 1 point2 points ago

The funniest one was when the ball got shot up like a hundred feet in the air and came back down and smashed that girl in the face. I laughed for a hundred light years straight.

[–]Harleenquinnzel 1 point2 points ago

YES, YES, YES AND YES

[–]ragealot64 1 point2 points ago

Yes definitely they were hilarious and so was the show!

[–]greendit92 1 point2 points ago

You mean once a week?

[–]Gorillian 1 point2 points ago

Maybe even once a day... How can we be sure?

[–]shroominator 2 points3 points ago

Oh my god this show is the essence of life.

[–]Interwhat 3 points4 points ago

Gotta say, the British version is a shitload better just for Craig Charles' subtle (Well, not so subtle in most cases) racism.

Honestly, I was watching an episode and he said something along the lines of

Good luck to that girl, or is it a guy, no it is a girl! Oh what do I know, they all look the same!

How the fuck that got onto TV I'll never know.

Also, Craig Charles is Lister from Red Dwarf, one of my favourite series ever.

[–]Anachronistic_Hat 1 point2 points ago

Ahhhh Red Dwarf. I've only ever read the book.

[–]E-Nigma 1 point2 points ago

Not so much a [FIXED], as this shows up with under the same general idea every couple weeks.

Is the dude on the right the same guy as the teacher in Battle Royal?

[–]Sir_Knight_of_Lights 0 points1 point ago

You should see the original (Takashi's Castle). It's got more challenges, and it ends with what is basically bumper car laser tag. Dunno why they cut that out for MXC.

[–]Sufficientrobotics 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if any of you guys noticed, but the guy on the right is Takeshi Kitano, the bad guy from Battle Royale.

[–]TFiPW 0 points1 point ago

MXC was awesome. Wipeout is shit.

[–]ChewiestBroom 0 points1 point ago

It's time for KENNY BLANKENSHIP'S MOST PAINFUL ELIMINATION OF THE DAY!!!!

I see this exact picture with this exact caption once a week. I am not American and I don't know what this show is, but I hope it goes back on air to stop this incessant bullshit.

To this day i still don't know if their voices were dubbed or not

[–]High_On_Cortexiphan -3 points-2 points ago

The only "FIXED" post I will ever upvote.

This show was a friggin' classic.

[–]HB24 -1 points0 points ago

I vow to upvote every post in here. It is not even those guys, it is the two American Dudes who do the voice overs that rock. This show actually got me laid...
