The format is a Japanese show from Tokyo which is apparently filmed at some kind of theme or game park called Takeshi's Castle. There are two hosts, Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano. All voices are dubbed - Kenny and Vic are fictional, as their voices are dubbed over from the real hosts of the show. Vic is the older, more fatherly and sensible host, Kenny is sillier. For each show, fake teams are chosen, like "Reality Show Contestants" vs. "Zoo Workers" (i.e. Real Life vs. Wild Life). Contestants compete in various whacky (and I do mean WHACKY) physical contests, with a running commentary by Kenny and Vic (such as you'd hear with any US sport). You have to listen closely because the names chosen for the contestants are almost always twisted inside jokes, but recognizable, and the commentary is priceless. The theme park is grungy, muddy, third-rate, and the contestants subject themselves to some really amazing things. Nothing gross like Fear Factor; these are all physical games, and little humiliation. Nobody eats anything disgusting and the games are rather simple, not particularly demanding, which makes them even more hilarious. It's the simplicity of it and the exuberance of the contestants plus Kenny and Vic's commentaries that make this show so funny and ultimately good-natured.
Smoke some weed and watch this show, you will fucking die laughing. :1orglaugh
