The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I laughed at the show when it was on Spike. Now my whole family laughs at it on DVD. The special features are great too, which include - one episode of the original Japanese game show, and the Top 25 Most Painful Eliminations (from Season One). Another special feature is the original pilot which includes some games not seen on the TV episodes. I can't wait for more seasons to come out on DVD. It will be great to get together with a group of friends and all laugh together. Anyone who has not seen MXC will be amazed at their own reactions - a mixture of laughter and 'ohhhhhhhh's when they see the sometimes painful crashes during competitions. And how funny is it that during a rope tug'o'war some contestants end up pulling against a cow without knowing it?The commentary by Vic and Kenny overlaid on the original shows is just as funny as the competitions.

I started watching this show a few weeks back and am officially hooked. Like a lot of the other reviewers, I laugh myself silly with every episode. Sure, it's crude and immature humor (with some slapstick thrown in for good measure) but it is downright hilarious!! I'm not sure which is the funniest: the running commentary between Kenny and Vic, the Captain Tenneal's "Well you're wrong!!" line, or Guy LaDouche's sexual overtones. My personal favorites are Skanky and the Green Tea Bagger (I'm laughing out loud as I write this). And watching those poor fools physically take a beating (especially every woman who attempts "Log Drop") just adds to the shows appeal.Overall, if you're looking for sophisticated humor, this show isn't for you. If you're like me (and a lot of others, who just want a good laugh at the end of the day with some asinine humor, don't miss an episode!!

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!

The commentary makes this show what it is. It's pure comic genius. The stunts are ridiculous and the wipe-outs are hilarious, but the commentary by "Kenny Blankenship" and "Vic Ramano" is what really makes this show funny. I hope it's on for a long time to come. The humor is pretty raunchy, and suggestive, but I think everyone who watches this show will be laughing out loud. You'll find yourself watching and re-watching these episodes. These guys have taken a somewhat amusing Japanese game show and made it ten times funnier. Pay attention to all the names of the characters :) I don't know what else to add here, except that I recommend this show
