It takes alot for my husband to laugh so hard he about pukes and him and my son were on the floor laughing at this show! It was fun to watch them think it was so funny to see people bouncing off those balls. Something about people bouncing off big balls just doesn't get old!!!

I caught the last half, but thought it was enjoyable for plain mindless entertainment. Reminds me of another show, maybe Fear Factor? Without the gross stuff.

I swore this would not be a show I would like because when watching the previews, I thought the injuries would be brutal to watch happen. But then I nearly died laughing especially with the replays and commentary.

But seriously, some of those people looked like they would have had serious injuries or at least a broken nose!

Does anyone know what the brunette host has done before? I keep thinking back to a 'fake' reality show where everyone lived in a house and all but one was in on the fact that it wasn't a real reality show. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? I feel like this guy was the host of that show.

Yes, Kappy. Joe Schmoe. He was on that show and I couldn't remember what role, but I think you're right that he played the host. So, we know he's got a good dry sense of humor.

The commentary on this show is really funny. I missed most of the first half, but next time will make a point to tune in. I missed the ball bounces!

I was thinking of the host from the Joe Schmo Show but now I don't think it's him. But the commentary is along the same line, if you know what I mean.

I would have bet money it was Joe Schmoe! But, now that I look at a picture of the host, it doesn't look like him.

So.... where do we know him from???

Okay, I think I figured out where I know John Henson from -- Talk Soup! He was the host prior to Hal Sparks.

That's so funny we both thought of the Joe Schmoe show. That host's name is Ralph Garman. If you look them up in IMDB.com, they really do look quite a bit alike.

On another site someone said one or both hosts were from The Soup.

Brenda ~ I must have been typing earlier right as you posted. And you're right ~ he's from Talk Soup! They do look similar, don't they?!

And OMG, Pamy ~ the "he has jazz hands" was just one of many comments that sent me into hysterics!

I did a search and found out that it is hosted by John Anderson (don't know him) and John Henson who was the host of Talk Soup with the white spot in his hair.

I enjoyed the show. Costacat's right, it's just mindless entertainment.

I laughed when at one point the commentator said something like "jazz hands just fell on go-go dancer who is laying on candyman"!

It looks like it's going to be a light hearted fun summer show.

I haven't finished watching it yet because I kept rewinding to watch them bounce of the big balls. They were like human pinballs. Why is that so funny? I don't know...but it IS. LOL.

too funny gurlie.
I liked the spinning wheel that included one of two difficult obstacles. They were falling all over each other.
That guy who completed first, then got to watch the other contestants, he was on the ground laughing his behind off.

It's an American remake of MXC which of course was a "MST3000" take on Takeshi's Castle.
Mindless but relatively fun.

This show is running out of steam imo. Although the big balls are eternal fun :-) That one woman almost made it onto the platform!

I agree. I don't see this show lasting for too long. But it is a fun summer diversion.

I would like to see someone be successful on the balls, just once. They look impossible!
