"Takeshi's Castle"

Anyone who's got cable will find ithard pressed to miss this golden plum on the Challenge TV tree. It's the most sadistic, cruel, humiliating, racists, sexist programme there is - and it's also the funniest thing I've seen for ages. In a nutshell, 100 crazy Japanese nutcases go about hurting themselves in the most degrading fashions imaginable. Picture if you will, riding a giant lizard rodeo whilst trying to hit a giant pink bat with a water pistol. That's one of the games. Lose and you're out forever! The best one is when they have to cross this wobbly bridge whilst they're pelted with rubber cannon balls. This bloke yesterday got hit in the back of the head, which caused his fdace to smack the edge of the bridge and he fell off. Ouch.

They had a kids special (more like "special kids") the other day...except they played the same adult-sized games as the adults. Those crazy Japs.

I love Knock Knock as well. The single version though, not when they are all running at the doors for the first game. There's just something very hilarious about a japanese person running full pelt at a door then smashing into it when it doesn't budge.

Tis excellent.

The best game i've seen is the one where they have to run across the big foam domino's. Much face smashing and leg splittling ensues.

Yes it's innuendo but he uses it for both the men and women so it's not like he's just focusing it all on the ladies.

What isn't? Have you actually listened to what Craig Charles says?

erm.... ok then i take back my comment. its the funniest thing i have seen for many years

It's an absolutely hilarious programme especially with Craig Charles comments about the contestants, it's kept me entertained for the last 3-4 months or however long it's been on.

However what exactly is sexist or racist about it? Well apart from the fact they go easy on the women contestants in some events like bridge ball. They only start aiming for their head when they get near the end unlike the men where they start pelting them straight away.

What happened a couple of years ago that was so funny?

i came across this program a while ago and i havnt been able to stop watching it since. it is the funniest thing i have seen for a couple of years.
