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

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.

Back in the early 2000s, I always had a good laugh whenever I was flipping through TV channels and stumbled upon Takeshi's Castle.

Wouldn't have expected this on Hacker News. Used to love watching this as a kid!

“Right you are, Ken!”
(From MXC, based on footage from Takeshi’s Castle)
Still remember that phrase from years ago.

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?
