Takeshi's Castle

...pwns, discuss?

Posted by RubiK Cube on Jan-19-2005 13:10:

Craig Charles voice overs are quality. Top program all round

its class, they have it on at the howard pub sometimes on the big screen.

i just love it when they run across those stepping stones then step on a fake one and smash there face on the one after. the dominos and the monster maze are good too.

aye that ones well the best. takeshis castle is class. actually has me crying with laughter at times, and is the perfect comedown antidote. was class when i smoked weed, to come home and sit there mashed wathing the antics. its good how they always come up with new games. one of the good ones is the conveyor belt thing when they have to slide along a conveyor belt thing lying on a surfboard, and have to stop at a mark. if they push off too hard they go face first into the sewage, and if they dont go far enough, this random baldy appears out of the water, and shoves them in. proper wtf? material, to keep you lol-ing all the way.

i would disagre with craig charles though,find him annoying most of the time, he doesnt half talk some amount of brown smelly stuff. would rather just watch it with the japanese commentators tbh.

i used to watch it back in the 90s without craig charles voice overs .. crazy japs

as for people winning at the end .. i have seen it happen .. just i dont remember what their prize (if any) was ..

Japs are nuts.

Any culture that can come up with samurai, tentacle hentai, bukkake and rope bondage has to be crazy.

Nah, no prize. Just the glory of winning.

...and it's all about the rollers anyway! The game where they have to walk on the single roller is just hilarious because it always ends up with an injury and a head-first plunge into the water below.

Classic!

used to watch it without the voice overs on a german channel before sky digital.

Love the game, where they dress up as a hand, and have to dive on the card which is the correct answer to a simple arithmetic problem. Hillarious.

One which has dissapeared which I liked was where they had to charge uphill, and giant balls the width of the passage came down and there were only so many little alcoves on your way up to get out of the way. Real funny, dont see it on the challenge ones tho.

I also dislike the craig charles voiceovers, allough he does his best and its difficult.

mate, they still have Avalanche on!

anyone remember that REALLY bizarre one with the water pistol? you had to avoid getting your ring pierced (lol) but you had to run up hill, and there used to be some crazy guy, with a cartoon style bomb (kinda like the ones in mario kart) around him...used to run down the hill and stack it and roll all over the place, there used to be another guy that used to have a inflatable tank around his body haha

I love "Pop" and "Corn" as well - the Rainbow Warriors, that dress like mexicans but with colours of the rainbow... they were quality.

what about Rice Bowl? that OWNED! heheh

and the guy that hopped all the way across Bridgeball, he was wearing some black robe and had powder on his face, looked a bit like Jet Li :S never seen anyone do that since, he just bunny hopped the whole way, got pelted to shit and back with the balls! :O

...and therein lies the beauty of it. More likely to see falls and potential injuries!

Bridge Ball is the best.

Posted by jonny_mac_99 on Feb-10-2005 15:33:

THe funniest one I saw was when the contestants had to walk along a bridge getting footballs fired at them out of a big cannon. Some woman got hit right in the fanny and strated crying in the middle of the bridge. SHe kneeled down for about five minutes then got back up and moved on ......

.. just as she was near the end she got hit smack in the face by a football goin about 200 mph.

Absolutely class...even Craig Charles was pissin himself

Posted by Simcut on Feb-10-2005 16:00:

hehe, Takeshi's Castle owns all!

I cant find any video clips of any of it to email to any mates who aint seen it ((

I so wanted to be rainbow warrior! My dream job, imagine going and getting pissed up with those guys
avalanche was cool cuz they had to try and run away downhill, then they'd get caught under the ball.

Oh and that dude hopping across the bridge was dressed as a Vampire. Asian (or chinese ones anyway) cannot fly or walk, they hop...my gf (who is asian) was terrified of them as a kid
