My New Favorite TV Show
I will destroy you with my bunny ears!!
On spike TV, there’s this show called “MXC”, aka MOST EXTREME ELIMINATION CHALLENGE. Originally this crazy Japanese game show known as Takeshi’s Castle, in which overzealously cheerful asian peeps fling themselves headfirst into impossible obstacles and an inevitable faceful of mud, it has been converted into pure american entertainment. There’s nothing like watching a little asian chick in pink spandex get her ass dunked by a giant yellow samurai, or one of her teammates biting it facefirst into a humongous log and taking a bath in a pool of muck. Freaking hilarious.
My name’s Petunia, I like your obi.
Giant logs of DOOOM!!
I need a caption for this, but it somehow escapes me.
Here’s the (fictional) injuries stats from the original show, further proving that agony is comedy:

Very strange
I like the dubbed in English narration, it’s got a MST3K sort of thing going on. And those wacky couples, how they mug for the camera.
