All the obstacles are fricking asiatic sized.
I could probably jump over the pond with the stepping stones, peek over the walls to see where the henchemen in the door labyrinth are, throw over the battle carts and pull Count Takeshi down from his castle standing at the bottom of it.
>he didn't see the international episode where nobody won
Those were mostly Euro homosexuals and unathletic women
Ah yes, if only america had a chance to send your field homies to win all the medals
Bruh watch an episode of American Ninja. If those people can do that shit they would’ve totally dominated Takeshi’s Castle so your comment is completely ignorant. Now yes even the Japanese contestants were picked for their pathetic athletic ability almost like Beat himself was afraid players might actually “beat” (pun intended) his homosexual ass gameshow. Takeshi is well known for his subverting expectations so yes he’d find the weakest fricking Westerners to compete on his show. No doubt about it so they don’t count
People didn't participate in Takeshi's Castle to win, they went there to have a good laugh. Your approach to the whole thing is entirely narcissistic and competitive so I'm not sure you would understand.
Oh frick off now you’re moving the goalposts here. Yeah maybe Takeshi thought of the series as a comedy first but it’s still a competitive gameshow. You’re supposed to win gameshows no matter how absurd or silly they happen to be.
It's not the Olympics, I don't know why you feel the need to argue that your country would ackshually win if this comedy game show was serious
I bet you could lose all your fingers to a lathe accident and still make an accurate count of your friends on both hands.
Dude, unlike Ninja Warrior, a lot of Takeshi's Castle is luck based. Seriously, watch eps 3 and 4 of the new series to see what happens to Sasuke/Ninja Warrior contestants.
They do well at the skill games, but basically all get filtered by randomness in the end. You can't brute force it.
Good Lord, you are an insufferable homosexual.
No you’re a fricking autistic piece of shit. Do you really believe the Japanese aren’t competitive enough to have a gameshow not count and be totally unwinable? If so you don’t know the culture at all
The one episode of Takeshi's Castle I saw had a three-way tie for second. No one made it to the final event.
>totally unwinable
funny you should mention that
A hundred competitors didn't enter with the expectation they would all win.
see
American Ninja isn't even as good as Sasuke.
BASED American competitor aiming the Top and crushing everyone in his way in absolute every aspect of life. Keeping the spirit of romans alive. I thought you guys went extinct.
takeshi's castle's american counterpart is more Wipeout than Ninja Warrior
in ninja warrior they're actually expected to get through a good chunk of the obstacles just through skill alone
What are you doing you WAZZOCK?!
>HAPPY CLAPPY JAPPY CHAPPIES
>anon fails at the second obstacle and goes home wet
>not only that, but now he has a permanent crick in his back from landing on one of the stepping stones funny
The reboot made all the obstacles bigger and harder. Even the team from Ninja Warrior failed some of the courses.
lewd
>well you're wrong!
I bet you brag that you would win every single episode of "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader"
webm related is you
>No, the giant dog got him!
>that fricking gesture right before the red pipe smacks him in the face
He accepted his fate.
>sir, sir...no, sir please stand up, please sir not again this is the third time, sir the big rod is not for sucking...please sir continue walking the bridge
if this doesn't come to the US as a rebooted MXC I am going to shit
Right you are ken.
>no brown sludge
soulless
soulless. if the course doesn't look like it's filled with asbestos and 30 years of rust from disuse I'm not interested
>Sadly, anon accomplished all this, only to lose to Guy LeDouche's dick.
for me it's Baba Ganoush
Pretty much what happened in the foreigner episodes, I remember a German guy doing the bridge ball obstacle, just hanging on to the bridge with one hand, shaking his fist at the ball cannon crew while their balls harmlessly bounce off him
>starts every fight with HE GAAAAAAAYYYYY
do japs really?
show of hands, nNOW
The highly trained, highly accurate Emerald Guard.
For some reason, as a child I never realised he was just making shit up to say over the action. Like, if you talked to a Japanese person about the Emerald Guard or General Lee of the pig farm they would have no idea what you were in about.
if you said emelard gardu they would understand
penetrating their rings
I will not consume a single morsel of Takeshi's Castle...unless Craig Charles is slightly tipsy!
In the drink!
Answers on a postcard please
He's just had a couple of tequila shooters
I liked the bit where he said golden snitch and drink
He was puffy from the steroids they gave him to boost his eradicated immune system.
I just wait until Takeshi has another stroke.
I like when the maze guards put the black mark on a contestant's face and craig starts singing mammy
How come MXC always cut out the castle stage?
What's the point of showing it?
Every time the result is pre-determined and even when the odd accidental victory happens they call foul and don't count it as the players winning.
I mean, they could show it or they can put some more commercials in their place instead and make a buck.
I've wanted to watch this show for the longest time. Do I start at the beginning? And where can I watch it?
It's a gameshow. There's not really an order other than some games evolve over time and some others are added or dropped.
But how am I supposed to understand the references if I haven't seen them all?
Well start from the start then, I'm sure the whole thing is on youtube or wherever. Watch Takeshi's Castle and not Takeshi's MXC.
It depends. If you watch the American version Spike’s MXC there’ll be no references you’ll get because they heavily edit it and cut a lot out but some jokes do get called back especially if it involves the creepy interviewer LaDouche. So you can probably watch the dubbed version in any order because Western audiences certainty did back in the day. If you manage to find the Japanese Takeshi’s Castle it’s probably better to watch that however in chronological order.
And the UK dubbed?
Trash
Racist but funny
I remember getting a stern talking to from a teacher at school for calling an asian kid a "happy jappy chappy" and "chinkie in the drinkie" and going
>YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>*Gong*
Hard to explain that I saw it on the television
What was your favourite game lads? For me it was the IRL side scroller level the gauntlet.
The skipping stones always had some excellent pratfalls, as did the rollers. The surfboard one that carried them around obstacles in a circle wiped out practically all of them every time.
i liked the one where they were going down the track on rollers and they had to do maths on the way down
Gauntlet was the most kino level, followed by honeycomb maze
The one where they roll the big boulder down
for me it was the stepping stones, watching those asiatics smash their ribs to dust was the funniest shit
For me the doors win by a wide margin.
Watching a series of Japanese co-eds struggle to tear down some paper only to get gang banged by a samurai with giant boxing gloves is topped only by their male counterparts diving headfirst into reinforced plywood and bouncing a full 3 feet back onto their ass.
high rollers and honeycomb maze. the high rollers are just peak physical pratfall comedy, and the maze often had some interesting strategies. my favourite was the guy who climbed the walls and went over the top.
for me it's sinkers and floaters
The new one made the games way too hard. Not a single person in ~200 made it through the skipping stones. Made it pretty boring in a lot of parts.
Ψυχή.
Βασισμένη ανάρτηση.
well, a lot of these obstacles are just luck based so who knows
There is no luck. There is only skill.
>
Only. Skill.
I was born unlucky, so anything luck related like the paper/wooden doors or stepping stones would unironically filter me.
this was a rip off of squid games
you absolute wazzock
is there any place to watch all the episodes from start to finish?
They're not in order but a cursory glance on youtube gives many of them
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiQ66K92rqa3S0E1KzeAWXMBaYpF-WngU
thanks dude
Been a long time since I saw any of these, I'd forgotten the theme tune and little intercuts.
they’re all on tubi. or anything that gets contv
Oh hey, that's Subaru Kimura
He was based.
Not if these two motherfrickers are in my path.
I remember in the early days of Facebook I followed a woman who was one of the Western contestants. I believe she barely lasted for the second leg of the challenge. I think she was some photographer working in Tokyo or some shit. Hilariously she did put down in her bio that she was on Takeshi’s Castle but I don’t think she was aware of the MXC version because she was mogged pretty hard on the episode she appeared in. Typical foreign talentro who thought she was hot shit
Ah but can you defeat....?
GRILLED MORMONS!?
Does anyone have the guys jumping like chess pieces from the Halloween special? That shit was hilarious
I’ve beat it in warcraft 3 countless times.
I remember sporadically watching random episodes when it used to air in my country. Never sae anyone win. What happens then? What do they get?
I honestly don't understand how they could ever get away with that one where they have to run on the spinning wheels. Saw so many necks and spines snap backward on that shit as they get crunched up falling through the gears, it's just insane. And I frickin live in this crazy ass country!
Hs anyone actually died in it, though?
I beat it in Warcraft 3
No, but I would ensure my defeat is spectacular.
>one contestant on the high rollers that managed to fall in the gap between the starting platform and the first roller
Laughed for a minute straight
I could. But I won't. Because I'm too busy.
Modder uit het diepe zuiden van Japan
Ya wazzock.
I will conquer all.
Did literally anyone ever win?
Something like 8-9 people won over the course of ~110 episodes.
always wondered if they purposefully left those ones out from the international versions to maintain the mystique
The avalanche one was the best, where they had to run up the hill with boulders coming down
BABAGANOUSH
for me it was either the maze with the dudes chasing you or people face planting into the doors to find out which one was open.
They had that big hairy Caucasian looking bloke that would chase down all the screaming little jap women and he would force his hand onto their face and stain their face black. Was pretty kino
From the new version, but..
How all women should be and want to be treated to be honest.
The weak should fear the strong.
honeycomb maze was my favorite. what episode is this?
>It's the classic battle between the MXC boomers, vs the anime weeb coomers! Now here's everyone's favorite onani addicts, Kenny Blankenship, and Vic Romano!
>*hugs you*
Any Euorpean remembers the show where teams from the different nations competeted?
FIFA?
Jeux sans frontières
Games without borders.
probably not since I'm not an active person
the burger dub was not funny
*Blocks your path*
Spud has had his chips
Probably not. Even if I got through all the obstacle courses the final showdown is absolute bullshit
>the emerald guard has an immense advantage due to having done it a million times before
>basically fricked if you're in an episode where very few people got into the final alongside you
Of all the episodes I watched I can only actually remember a single group beating the final level. I can’t remember how they did it I think it went on for a while it seemed and some cheating on the part of the contestants (covering the target if I remember rightly)
I just remember being amazed for the most part.
iirc less than 10 episodes out of ~130 resulted in a win. Its pure luck
They had two forms one where they had paper targets and water guns. The emerald guard had water canons where as the contestants had puny water pistols. In the later iterations they used lasers which seemed to always knock out the contestants vehicles instantly. I too only saw the contestants win once where I think they covered their paper targets and then hanged up on the emerald guard vehicles and shot their targets point blank. It was a miracle, most of the time it was like one contestant because nobody else made it through. Pretty typical of Japanese game shows though where the contestants barely ever win.
The laser is more fair iirc because in the paper one you can obviously see that takeshi paper is kinda water proofed because they constantly clean whole series, the one who wins in the paper iirc poke the paper target instead
I watched some of the 2023 one and they made the courses way too impossible. The stepping stones is like double the length (though the lizard man spraying water at them is funny), the swaying bridge now has obstacles on it as well as being slippery from having water sprayed at you instead of just some balls (which are still thrown).
Does a mega exists for the new episodes?
>Who here thinks Cinemaphile is an image board dedicated to the discussion of television and film, show of hands?
>Well, you’re wrong! Cinemaphile is effectively blue /b/.
>LET’S GO!
I miss MXC. An age where people could just laugh at stupid shit rather than get upset by it.
Frick off. This is a Takeshi's Castle thread. If you want to discuss that MXC garbage go make a different thread.
cry more weeb homosexual MXC is superior.
Any time someone disparages MXC it is almost certainly in favor of the UK dub. I've never heard of anyone who watched the original Japanese broadcast.
Because almost everyone on this board is an EOP? I've watched all 3, I prefer the British one because the dated showa humor in the original isn't that interesting and the show has a lot of padding with the studio segments. The original is still 500x better than the awful burger version though, that still has the studio padding but with unfunny fart humor jokes dubbed over it.
you must really have zero charm or sense of humor
And you must be an American.
I'll tell you what I am, a better man than you.
Well, you're the bigger man. Around the waist, I mean.
See what I mean about your humor being lackluster?
you are a pleb
> there were only nine winners in total during the show's run.
Out of roughly 15,000 contestants.
My favourite bit out of the whole show is when Craig Charles refers to some of them as "Happy Clappy Jappy Chappies". Had me in fricking stitches.
For me it's
>highly trained
>highly dangerous
>haile selassie
GET IT ON
Is there a source online to conveniently stream it?
More webms please
no but i could beat MXC
I haven’t the seen original show for years now.
I thought once you failed, you’re eliminated?
In the new show, they just keep bringing back the failed contestant? On episode 3 now
No, the original had the same system. They just never really mentioned it in the western versions.
>come home from school
>put on Bravo or whatever shit free tv station showed Takeshis castle
>laugh for 1 hour
>mum makes dinner
>forget to do homework
i like the enthusiastic ones that just haul ass and instantly get fricked up
sure I wathced it as a kid and always knew what to do better than the weirdo people trying
now at my full grown strength I could probably just walz in to the castle and armbar takeshi into submission
fricking homosexual ass emperor
any of you guys remember the guy who two-foot jumped the whole course, i think he was dressed like a horror character or summat
I think I just happened to see that episode from the link above
?t=618
>dressed like a jiangshi hopping vampire
>hops the entire way
fricking hell that's amazing
What'd you guys think of the new season?
I hope it allows for more episodes of MXC
Very winner is a tall guy waring a baseball jersey so I could probably do it.
>Contestants sprinting and leaping into the wrong door, bouncing about five feet backwards
I would nuke the castle and then win.
I am god, destroyer of japanese game shows
>the nuke has to compete
>despite being inanimate everyone is terrified and the guards don't put up any resistance
>the bomb wins 1 million yen
I remember going to Japan and speaking to a Jap in the hostel about this show. Apparently the shows not a big things in Japan. I dont know its because of the age of the show and what's new to us is old to them.
Any Japs confirm this is true?
>Any Japs confirm this is true?
不潔な外国人はあなたの匂いや騒音で国民を困らせません。とても不名誉なことだ。
It ran in the late 80s and early 90s, most Heisei zoomers weren't even alive when it was on. In the rest of the world it ran around the turn of the millennium, so it's a generational gap.
It would only mean something to a person who was young in the 80s and 90s. Not too different to how it has massive worldwide recognition, but if you ask a zoomer they would almost certainly not know what it is.
amazing show, I liked mxc too because of the fast repeating replays and funny voices/racist commentary
>RIGHT YOU ARE KEN
wipeout just wasn't the same though the aussie version with JB was pretty funny til he left
Best job was blasting the people on the b ridge with balls. They always looked like they were having the time of their lives aiming for the contestants' heads and asses.
Every trial could be tackled if you are in shape and somewhat lucky.
The last one with the chariots and the squirt guns, however, was literally impossible. The targets were made out of rice paper. Even the smallest gust of wind could tear them apart.
