Introduction
Takeshi's Castle was a Japanese game show that aired between 1986 and 1990.
This show has become a cult television hit around the world and my personal favorite to watch during my exams.
Hope you enjoy some of my favorite parts!
Avalanche
Players race up a narrow gully, and must avoid being crushed by polystyrene boulders. Contestants try and hide in cubbyholes in the gulley's side, but they contain members of Takeshi's Gundan who attempt to push them out into the boulder's path.
Mushroom Trip
Players cling to the stem of a giant fungus, and try to reach a platform at the other end of a lake. There was only one gap in the mushroom: men must hold on from this space one-handed, while women can hold a rope around the mushroom. The mushroom spins as it goes across, making it harder to land on the platform.
Show of hands
People are dressed as giant hands. A math question is asked, and contestants have to find the answer (many numbers are written on cards on the floor) and fall face first on the correct one.
A little different, dressed as baseballs they have to catch a baseball.
Knock Knock, my favorite!
This round is really the most fun one, I rofl every time. Contestants are confronted with four sets of walls with four possible doors each, covered with paper. One or two have wooden walls and the other are just paper. Contestants must run full-tilt at the door of their choice and either break through without painfully bouncing off a solid door.
Bridge Ball
Players cross a rope bridge, holding a gold-coloured leather volleyball, whilst henchmen fire black volleyballs at the contestant, who is eliminated if they fall off.
Skipping Stones
Speaks for himself
Fish Food
Contestants ride on a board as it goes across a conveyor belt. They must jump over pink fish, and crouch underneath sharks.
AND MANY MORE !!
Whut?
Last but not least, this beauty

Bitch please. You want a REAL challenge from Takeshi? Play Takeshi's challenge without a walkthrough.
NicCageTheScienceMage
Remember the time Takeshi made a game that was harder than Dark Souls and E.T. combined? It was a truly dark time.

America had this on, Spike aired it and called it MXC, it was the funniest shit
twfeline
They changed the name slightly, after the first season or two.

I LOVE Takeshi's Castle!! Craig Charles' narrating is hilarious
purplesmurfstew
IVE BEEN TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT THIS SHOW WAS CALLED FOR YEARS! THANK YOU SO MUCH
GeorgeAJV
I know right !!! I seen it last week on the Front page too
boltorian
They don't have lawyers in Japan do they.
twfeline
The waivers for that show must have had 29 pages of fine print.
Sauroctonus
They probably do, but they also probably laugh at you if you try to sue Takeshi's Castle for your injuries. :P
twfeline
All the lawyers in Japan probably watched the show and laughed so hard, then took notes.
HantaNaru
.....like Beat Takeshi?
ThisIsTheLastTimeIChangeUsernamesIPromise
Not "like". Beat Takeshi. Kitano.
codeninja82
I was wondering if anyone else knew this. Yes, Beat Takeshi is a genius.
thekav
Takeshi Kitano is legendary. I think I'm going to have to go watch Brother again.
notirrelevant
In the US version, "Skipping Stones" is called Sinkers and Floaters. But my personal fave (for its name) is Irritable Bowl Syndrome
magneticgumby
You're thinking MXC...which was a dubbed over, purely comedic take on the show. Calling it Sinkers and Floaters was intentional.
twfeline
I watched the show religiously. But "Sinkers and Floaters" -- I just now got that.
ThermiteKitten
I don't think anyone here thought it was unintentional.
Mercalus
My favorite Sinkers and Floaters was where the first stone was fake and the dude practically jumps head first into the lake.
Wolfinator
It's like Dark Souls in real life
mudkipfucker2
Craig Charles version is best version
KevMud
We were DJing in a bar once so I had a pic taken with him when two female friends of mine killed me off...
Woofbloodywoof
I was going to comment "Motherfucking Craig Charles commentry" But I saw you had already beaten me to a comment about him. Top hole.
ICanChangeMyUsernameWheneverIWantButIDontBecauseIAmGodDamnLazy
His reactions just make the entire experience 100 times funnier. Love Craig. This is the only Takeshi's Castle version I admire.
legonotlegos
What a wazzock!
MitchBeaucannon
Did anybody ever 'win'?
sween46
Nobody really wins, everyone loses, just some quicker than others
nacko
My question is... did anyone ever 'die'?
twfeline
What's the fun in that?
supremecx
I felt really racist whenever I watched it, I had no idea whether the contestants were the same from round to round.Everyone looked..similar
kapp70
You racist pig, the Japanese are a proud people who contr, who am I kidding, they all looked the same to me also.
EikonaCloud
I remember seeing some win, however I never saw a single person beat this
v and I watched this a lot as a kid
SheTurnedMeIntoANewtButIGotBetter
We all won, watching the episodes on tv.
SWEkitsune
there is one winner. And what did they win? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vFZXg4OlFQ
EspionageBear
That is bullshit. Craig was a shitty host. Cause there was a winner in Season 1 that he skipped over like an idiot.
Curiousone545
Hum.. no, I think they won $5000 or $8000 which.. should cover medical expenses.
Taylor881
I've watched it for years and only ever seen one group 'win' - as far as I can see they get a certificate.. It was a momentous occasion
Jamele
133 episodes and 9 winners (wikipedia)
ronswansonisthereasonihaveadadfetish
Shits hard yo.
Omnighost
I only ever saw one winner ever, and I almost feel like I'm imagining it it's that uncommon.
foiltoiler
Convinced I saw a winner episode in my childhood. So many people doubted me that now I even doubt myself.
thegriffin88
Suck it Wipeout.
grambonator
The kinect game is sorta fun. But yeah, the show sucks donkey balls.
PussyVelour
I liked the beginning when Henson drew all over the screen and made funny voices, but that other guy sucks the life from the show.
twerkintrav
Fuck that show
iMightHaveBeenDroppedOnMyHead
Dude, thank you for putting this together. Brings back memories.
Benjoenels
No problem, it was fun putting it together
CorneliusCornwall
Get it on
evoactivity
Watched the shit out of this as a stoned teenager with friends, Craig Charles did the voice over in the uk, hilarious shit.
IWouldLickThat
It was shit, alright... a rare instance of the US version being better than the UK's.

I need to watch the british versions now.
WhatthefuckamIseeing
It's basically just Craig Charles insulting people for 25 minutes.
Sauroctonus
And isn't that all that everyone wants?
WhatthefuckamIseeing
It's basically just Craig Charles insulting people for 25 minutes.
sparkledick
They're all over youtube. Much drier humor than MXC, but still hilarious in its own way.
Idsertian
"In it's own way". Implying it isn't the superior version. :P
sparkledick
Some people are too dense for British humor. And they both have their merits.

My son once asked me why they shouted "Don't get lemonade."

My fav elimination was when a guy was playing the 4 doors and knocked a wooden door out of the frame. He was down for the count for good

The American voice dub of this show is literally one of the funniest shows. "Most extreme elimination challen" or "MXC"
Jaymuggs
Kenny Blankenship's most painful eliminations of the day!
nextgenpants
Right you are, Ken!
EYYYBOOBOO
This explains so much. The entire time I was looking at this I was thinking "hmmph.. makes me thnink of MXC".
eddiebarzoon
No, this is an American show. It aired in the 2000's and was called Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
eddiebarzoon
Wow, was making a joke guys. Sarcasm lost.
ThisGuyDisguisedTheSkies
Writing sarcastically is an art form. It requires some skill
ShitSampleFiend
I keep hearing people say the british dub is better but there is no fucking chance. I practically cry laughing at the american version!
SingingMeAndCthulioDownByRlyehFhtagn
Loved this show!....GUY LaDOUCHE!

In college we watched this and drank every time someone got hurt. We couldn't even finish an episode.
jarrettbrown
MXC used to make my weekends. I love it so much. My friend made me record it one time and we showed it to his father. He loved it.
nobodytooimportant
Holy shit, this show was so racist and sexist and awesome!

Probably still my favorite show ever.

This show was the best thing in the world when i was a child
8bitTunes
They didn't show the tank battles in the American version though. Dubbing was amazing though
thekav
LOL Those tank battles were awesome. Love Takeshi Kitano. He gave us this and a bunch of great movies.
alysanne1318
Yes! I love MXC.
SPAC3QUEEN
I like my camels with 2 humps!
TerriblePokemon
Nothing beats taking a bunch of Japanese people and naming them like a long island phonebook. Ambiguously Jewish
GalacticHalo
The best show of my childhood. I had so many laughs.
8bitTunes
They didn't show the tank battles in the American version though. Dubbing was amazing though
MrTurtleWrangler
They did in the British one :D
8bitTunes
I know, That's Where I First Saw it. shame But the American version is all about using dubbing to make it fun and there'd be limits on tanks
choloeseguay
Always love it when someone else knows about the greatness that was MXC.
marvelkitty23
Who dsn't remember MXC!! 1 of my favorites and my brothers and I used to marathon episodes. So sad it is no more. And wipe out is stupid..
sparkledick
I remember many a laughing cramp as a kid. My dad and I watched it all the time. I always liked the team names they gave them.
marvelkitty23
It was even funnier when I was old enough to get the refrences hahah
choloeseguay
Cool, my dad and I watched it together as well. It was difficult sometimes because of how late it will come on.
