Vic Romano: What went wrong there, Ken?

Kenny Blankenship: Well she tried to catch a ball with her forehead.

[–]pcloadletter92 69 points70 points ago

context. perhaps the greatest elimination in mxc history.

Let's go!

[–]TurdS 235 points236 points ago

Who here believes that the Olympics are a time honored tradition where athletes from all over the world can come together and have an honest competition all for the pride of their country; by a show of hands...

Well, you're wrong. Everyone worldwide will only watch the Olympics for the women's beach volleyball, you bunch of perverts.

"But I like to watch the rowing competition!"

Sure, so you can stroke your own oar-- Let's GO!

[–]wizbam 19 points20 points ago

This just...immediately took me back. I could NOT hear any voice other than Captain's, hard as I tried.

My God, just thinking about the episode with the "Steamy Pile" is making me laugh my ass off.

[–]Likestechlongtime 2 points3 points ago

The one with Rob "Blood in my Stool" Tussin made me laugh so hard I almost threw up.

I had to leave the room to compose myself after seeing their priceless faces.

I have to get these episodes

[–]kscannon 18 points19 points ago

I I I I ...... I enjoy the women's gymnastics and men's volleyball.

[–]iamcase 10 points11 points ago

Seriously I love watching women's and men's beach volleyball. It's a lot better than normal volleyball. It's really cool that they play with the same person for years and have such a great bond. It's so cool to see the same two people you watched play in Beijing playing in London now.

[–]splel_cechk_fwt 20 points21 points ago

Also ass

[–]iamcase 4 points5 points ago

Yes, definitely ass. Don't forget the hairy thighs of some of the men, can't forget that.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Perfect execution. Did you script-write for MXC or something?

[–]SirSofaspud 7 points8 points ago

It's been many years. Can I trouble someone for the name of this show and if it's floating anywhere online? Extreme Elimination?? Something of that sort.

it's 5:51 AM in the morning and I lost my shit and couldn't stop laughing at the thread when I opened the picture.. and immediately said "Right you are, Ken." the exact same time I started reading your comment.

I'm laughing like a fucking retard over here.

Thank you.

What is today's mystery Olympic fluid, Ken?

That's sweat wrung from the weight lifter's unitards, with just a hint of spittle

[–]Acidogenic 4 points5 points ago

All that remains of Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics

[–]AmateurLobster 43 points44 points ago

In the era of digital tv, I think we should have multiple commentaries. Have a proper one and then some with celebs or comedians.

If you watch rugby on S4C, the Welsh channel 4 in the UK, there is the option to get commentary in English, so it is possible to do. I'd love to hear people like Adam&Joe commentate on something.

[–]haltingpoint 11 points12 points ago

Like a Rifftrax layer for TV.

[–]mikey_lava 7 points8 points ago

I feel like all commentators would lose their jobs. I know I would only watch the comedian commentary...it would be hilarious.

[–]shinzou 38 points39 points ago

Great babaganoosh!

[–]Scuzzel 52 points53 points ago

Quite possibly the greatest idea since sliced bread.

[–]Frat_Panda 11 points12 points ago

And have Guy LeDouche cover the gymnastics. It would go like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fb42cLcRyo&feature=related

[–]Scipion 12 points13 points ago

[–]Kanuck88 10 points11 points ago

As a Canadian I would love to see these guys do the commentary Best of Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole from TSN

[–]Skrappyross 37 points38 points ago

You mean the guys that dub over them?

[–]z3ddicus 17 points18 points ago

And say things that are entirely made up and not related to what they were actually saying.

[–]Gadallin 5 points6 points ago

I hope these guys don't get the opportunity to do the Olympics commentary.

[–]djakri 1 point2 points ago

THAT FOREHEAD.

IT SCARES ME.

[–]kje33 6 points7 points ago

Let's get it on!

[–]imjustdrunk 3 points4 points ago

i wish they'd stop using these guys as inspiration to make shity obstacle course shows like wipeout in hopes to be half as funny as these guys really were

[–]M0b1u5 3 points4 points ago

[–]jason_patreus 60 points61 points ago

I'd rather these guys be given the opportunity.

[–]Rubin0 109 points110 points ago

"I'm really glad that Olympics are only on one channel."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. It makes it much easier to avoid."

"BWOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"

[–]Cllzzrd 8 points9 points ago

This made my night!

[–]f26522 21 points22 points ago

Well, they'd certainly be better than the current muppets on NBC.

[–]ryder1011 9 points10 points ago

DOHOHOHO

[–]ottawamarco 3 points4 points ago

Alot of athletes would have the last name BabaGanoush

[–]pnoy78 4 points5 points ago

and then you discover that takeshi himself turns out to be one of japan's best directors of modern cinema. fine actor as well.

[–]brittanysmpsn 5 points6 points ago

ah, I used to absolutely love this show! what's the name of it again?

[–]silentm1ke 17 points18 points ago

It's MXC Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.

[–]RedsforMeds 8 points9 points ago

Actually the original show is called Takeshi's Castle and it aired in Japan in the 80s. It was an absolutely hilarious show which sent about a hundred people through an obstacle course dwindling their numbers down to a handful which then drive around in tank go-karts shooting liquid at each other.

MXC is Takeshi's Castle redubbed and edited (even though in my opinion it didn't need editing at all).

[–]Getternon 1 point2 points ago

It was arguably the best redubbed Japanese show ever--the American voiceovers were just so perfect.

[–]argusromblei 4 points5 points ago

In 2016 when the olympics are in Japan again, we can try to get Takeshi Kitano to actually be a commentator, and it will happen.

[–]theycallmebambam 9 points10 points ago

Knew it was gonna be them before I even clicked the link. sigh I need more outside.

[–]zeyn10 2 points3 points ago

haha I knew it was going to be these guys that were going to pop up as soon as I'd click the link

[–]dearabby19 2 points3 points ago

Then I would actually watch the Olympics.

[–]ChoclatThunda523 2 points3 points ago

The only thought in my head when i read this... "oh,my,god, YES"

[–]Mansionman64 1 point2 points ago

I would hope Skanky could make it.

[–]PeaceSentinel 1 point2 points ago

I wish Captain Tenneal could light the torch. LLLLLLLLLETS GO!

And Guy LeDouche could interview the athletes lol

I'll never forget the guy who yelled "I BEAT ANOREXIA" before he tried to stick to the wall.

[–]sbrbrad 2 points3 points ago

And Suzy Babaganoush sticks the landing!

[–]CowtheHankDog 2 points3 points ago

When I clicked the link, before it loaded I thought, "This better be the MST3K silhouette..." but then I smiled anyway.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

wait... do you mean literally those two from Takeshi's Castle? or do you mean Victor Wilson and Christopher Darga who dubbed them in the re-edit of Takeshi's Castle, MXC?

because, believe it or not, there is quite a difference. what they were saying in MXC was not what they those two were saying in Takeshi's Castle.

[–]rooftopagenda 2 points3 points ago

DAMN IT KENNY

[–]Amleth36 2 points3 points ago

Next best thing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKFWE1xt_x0

Roy and HG, an Australian comedy duo, made a show called 'the dream' where they did comedy commentary over the olympics, making up their own names for moves and random rules. Unfortunately they stopped after Athens.

[–]karltee 2 points3 points ago

There's going to be some country with the name BABAGANOOSH

[–]jhawk1729 0 points1 point ago

I'd prefer these guys.

[–]gladragdoll 2 points3 points ago

Oh, and that's a bad miss!

[–]0mar7ittle 1 point2 points ago

How did I know it was going to be this exact picture before even clicking on it?

[–]toss_reply 0 points1 point ago

You should download and play the f2p "Super Monday Night Combat". Gives you your own sense of being in the thick of it on MXC. Oh, and there is a subreddit for it too!

[–]interpolotzi 1 point2 points ago

I'd rather the guys who did the voice over of those guys do the announcing.

[–]GuitarPerson159 1 point2 points ago

Ken would have a field day at women's gymnastics

[–]Ender1183 1 point2 points ago

Was picturing these guys before I even click on the link.

[–]Manwithtie 1 point2 points ago

And they would be better, too.

[–]bzapp 0 points1 point ago

I have seen this exact picture a lot. Is there a less grainy shot of them somewhere on the internet?

[–]aft3rm4th -1 points0 points ago

Anybody remember wondershowzen?

[–]tinlo 1 point2 points ago

I'd rather see Mike, Joel, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot make fun of the NBC commentary.

[–]jorkjumpskull 1 point2 points ago

BOOM NOSTALGIA BLAST.

I wish this show was on still.

[–]Undeadsjoker579 0 points1 point ago

They should

[–]crookedparadigm -1 points0 points ago

I know I'm in the minority on this, but the joke dubbing on MXC was the least amusing part of that show.

[–]kyoutenshi 2 points3 points ago

When the stank from your honky can kill a donkey! VAGISIL!!

Right you are Kenny!

[–]Browncub1 0 points1 point ago

Now we know where the yellow power rangers went.

[–]RedDingo 0 points1 point ago

This would definitely make watching all the events worthwhile. Throw a few obstacles in the way and you could make the Olympics a pay-per-view event. Poor Skanky!

[–]ProjectOXCART 1 point2 points ago

OMG yes please

[–]YouLikeFishStix 0 points1 point ago

Ge it on...

[–]realtruthlookforward 1 point2 points ago

Knew it was going to be them before clicking. Yes!!

[–]foof182 1 point2 points ago

I was hoping for Rich Little's head impersonating Howard Cosel and George Foreman's head. That futurama episode was on earlier today.

[–]Face_4_Radio 0 points1 point ago

I might actually watch the Olympics if those 2 were commentating

[–]smenkle 1 point2 points ago

I guessed Kenny & Vic. I am very pleased. Thank you.

[–]johnnc2 0 points1 point ago

I knew who you were talking about just from the link. Is that show still on by chance?

[–]Mycakedayis1111 1 point2 points ago

I think he means these guys: Victor Wilson and Chris Darga.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I wish I could watch the games with Cotton and Pepper on The OCHO!

[–]seafoxx 0 points1 point ago

I don't even know who these guys are and I agree with you

[–]vamplosion 0 points1 point ago

I get that these guys are from Takeshi's Castle - but in the version from the UK they never spoke?

[–]thisfreemind 2 points3 points ago

In the US version (renamed Most Extreme Elimination Challenge or MXC for short), the voices were dubbed over with some crazy/funny commentary on the events.

[–]WoodSheddings 0 points1 point ago

Fucking best show ever.

[–]brandinni 0 points1 point ago

Can't...upvote...enough

[–]camwow 0 points1 point ago

Uhhh you mean their voice overs?

[–]myimportantthoughts 1 point2 points ago

Craig Charles (from red dwarf) commentates on the version I get in the UK. It would be awesome to hear him shouting 'what a wazzuck' or 'right in the spuds' in the middle of the athletics.

So far every suggestion for who should do the commentary (that I've seen) is good with me.
