Re: Takeshi's Castle Thailand WILL air in the Uk...
Quote: The script is still full of bad joke and constant shoehorning in of pop culture things for no reason at all. Why is there always some “joke” about Facebook or Twitter, references to celebrities or shitty words to be down with da yoof. It’s cringeworthy.
Maybe it's because they think we're all "dumb millenials" who don't understand anything other than what's trending on social media and the latest mindless celebrity gossip. They're don't even seem to be remotely interested in what the true fans of Takeshi's Castle think.
Saw one (horrendous) episode and haven't seen another since. The whole thing is a disgrace!

Yup. The sad truth is that those people do exist, but they certainly aren't the people who are big-time keshi heads
It's a bit ironic, but the target audience of this show seems to be those who would call Takeshi's Castle a Chinese show. The people who thinks all Asian shows are "crazy and stupid". The people that say Takeshi's Castle has no point and is just a slew of crazy people doing random challenges Sad.

I don’t know one person who likes this series. Even people I didn’t know watched Takeshi at all I’ve mentioned it and they’ve said how awful this version is.

Finding out you have something in common through a remake you both hate

Re: Takeshi's Castle Thailand WILL air in the Uk...
Just realized I can watch a ton of clips of this on the Comedy Central website now (not that I particularly want to!). I've enjoyed a few and just tried to ignore the terrible commentary and vibe it has. Annoying but I guess it beats nothing.
Episode 14 was this week, right? I'm interested to see if they continue the trend of cutting games.

Re: Takeshi's Castle Thailand WILL air in the Uk...
I hope the next episode features the wall they climb. The show is lousy o. Well they should build mushroom and the hands o. I hope the berries return. The sets are generally lovely looking however the mud looks like crap. I find it depressing.
I hope Chris Charles returns because his narration was a little more amusing o. This one is nonsencial. The host makes no sense! He shall be fired. I find it harsh but truthful.

Re: Takeshi's Castle Thailand WILL air in the Uk...
Comedy Central Spain has announced that TCT will be premiering this Wednesday at 11:50PM. It won't be called "Humor Amarillo", it will be called "El castillo de Takeshi" (Spanish for Takeshi's Castle). Fernando Costilla and Paco Bravo won't be the voiceovers. Instead, in every episode, different comedians from CCSpain will be the voiceovers. It's not the same, but it definitely sounds better than Jonathan Ross.

--- ...it's Takeshi's Castle.
...¡esto es Humor Amarillo!

Re: Takeshi's Castle Thailand WILL air in the Uk...
Watched a couple of those and they do look pretty promising. Those wide, sweeping overhead shots always get me
Just find it a bit strange that they have the Demon Duo and the baby from episode 5 as their picture, rather than, I dunno Shakrit, Fern, Plakung and Takeshi Not a dealbreaker though!
But two voiceovers

They’ve changed the names of the guards and contestants too. That’s the one good thing Comedy Central did right - employ an actual translator to get the names correct. Then Spain changes them for no reason.
