| Um... over the end credits, there's big letters that say "Footage from Takeshi's Castle" |

It's not Takeshi's Castle. Takeshi's Castle is one of the best shows I've ever seen. However, The Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is a sadistic show.
There are some of the challenges:
- Playing table tennis with a bowl ball, with the head. - Being the last in drop a paper on fire. - Hug a cylinder that is aboce a river with real crocodriles. - answer questions with a scorpion in your head. |

| Even when they break through the paper ones, they usually end up face-first in the mud on the other side. |

Nah, the best is when they have to run through the doors. Some are paper, others are wood, or brick or something.
I cry because I laugh so hard. |

Yes it is.
It's hilarious - both the competitions and the English over-dub. |

| Is it that show where a typical test is cross a series of rolling logs, and another is an obstacle-course riding on a spinning flamingo? |

Yeah, it's footage from Takeshi's Castle, but I suspect they cut out almost anyone who is successful in a challenge  |

i would guess it's takeshi's. we get the show on a german tv, but i have no reason to believe the german translation has nothing to do with original japanese.
my favorite is the rolling cylinders above the river/water pit. |

| Most Extreme Elimination Challenge? Reminds me of Takeshi's Castle. Another Japanese game show. Perhaps they're the same one, just with different names. |

It's my favorite show...EVER! I laugh uncontrollably every time. I feel like an idiot, but it's freakin' hilarious. Did you see the one with the huge football players?

Ok, who's seen this show? A very small part of me says I should be horrified. The vast majority is too busy rolling around on the floor laughing to argue I just wondered who else might be enjoying the show. For those who haven't seen it:
It's on TNN (which they're trying to rename Spike TV, but they're having legal difficulties). Basically, they got the rights to the footage from a Japanese game show, and they are running English dialogue over it. The English dialogue has no relation to the original dialogue. The show revoles around a bunch of bizarre physical feats. And the end result is hilarious. I am recommending it to everyone I know. |
