Wipeout - Where Have You Been All My Life?

[Optix]

No, not the crappy Psygnosis racer, the TV show!

I've spent about 2 hours today watching it on YouTube and I'm still going. It's like the 80's show Fun House and Spike's MXC had a beautiful baby! I'm familiar with the show but YouTube takes the best and crams it into a painful package.

This guy easily has the best channel so have a look. Need more convincing? Check this foolishness out!

Need more? Ok. You twisted my arm.

You son of a...

Hahaha!

The racer wasn't all bad, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm more of a Destruction Derby kinda guy.

There's quite a few repeat sections from the other channel, but there are some new ones here.

I dunno, I don't understand the appeal of shows like this. I think I might have watched them as a kid but for some reason I am just not drawn in at all. I do remember watching a show like this when I was visiting Greg once, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called.

For some reason, all I could think was Genki from Saints Row Third without the guns... though I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the future.

I don't know what it is about shows like this. It was the same thing with MXC on Spike. I'm not big on sports (except hockey) and I don't like MMA (beating people for the sake of beating people is silly to me) so I guess I make up for it with Wipeout.

At some points last night I was in tears trying to stifle my laughter so I didn't wake anybody up.

The meta- voiceovers in Spike's MXC were genius. I didn't think the format could be dumbed down, but I stand corrected.

Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano! Can't forget Captain Tennille and Guy LaDouche, either!

Wipeout has some better...uh, wipeouts than MXC did, with the exception of the back flip.
