I was involved in pro paintball for several years and at the start of every one of their matches, one of the pro teams would chant:
"DON'T. GET. ELIMINATED."

I only know the German version from RTL2 which had funny commentary dubbed over it with made-up names and stuff. Curious, did the dubs in other countries do the same? Were there languages with the original commentary translated?

Back in the early 2000s, I always had a good laugh whenever I was flipping through TV channels and stumbled upon Takeshi's Castle.
His movies are also worth a watch: Hana bi, Sonatine, Brother, Dolls, and Zatōichi are all amazing movies.
Should do a rewatch again, it's been a while...

Most of Beat Takeshi's work is amazing, from this, to his films, even his infamous Nintendo game.

Thanks! Someone once told me about this, told me MXC is actually Takeshi's Castle, but I forgot, long ago. Fun fact.

"Right in to the mud!"
Remember watching this as a kid after school eating my bag of chips I'd been given for lunch which I'd save up so I can eat it later while watching this. In Canada, it was aired as MXC.

You can watch some English subtitled rips here:

The other archive link shared here, it's to another set of rips that appear to lack subtitles.
“Right you are, Ken!”
(From MXC, based on footage from Takeshi’s Castle)
Still remember that phrase from years ago.
