Challenge Adverts

[General Jonnie]

What TC adverts on Challenge can you remember?Here's a few I remember with the captions:

When the specials first came out-"General Lee is now looking for new places,new games and new gags,with his crazy mother and his angry Auntie Jannise!"(or something like that)with footage of Tani pulling the rickshaw,looking through his binoculars,a contestant in Tobogoff,Deep Float and Dragon Lake at the beach,Prod,General getting whacked on the head by his mother and getting slapped by his Auntie,and that dragon monster in Dragon Lake."So tune in for the all new hour long Takeshi's Castle Specials,coming soon to Challenge"!

And the one where contestants are racing round like racing cars,but don't really remember much about it

Also the Head To Head advert,Craig Charles:"Takeshi's Castle is going head to head with itself!Every Friday at 6pm you get to choose your favourite special out of the two..."-or something like that.

And when Takeshi's Castle was sponsored by Donkey Konga,with a weird Japanese man wearing a contestant's red helmet tapping on the bongos and Donkey Kong bashing his head with a giant banana and lots of other random things!

Well,that's enough from me ;DWhich ones do you remember?

[General Jonnie]

The one with the orange background and some random lines showing the way across skipping stones..

[General Jonnie]

Hmmm...I might know that one...did they have random words on it like "rock n roller"?

[General Jonnie]

Yeh!

[General Jonnie]

The old adverts are the best ;D

One of my favourites was the advert for Challenge's"Japanese Christmas Cracker" back in 2003 with those singing Japanese santas! ;D-I'm not sure if it counts as a Takeshi's Castle advert but TC was part of it!

I remember the ad for the "How do you beat yours?"

[General Jonnie]

I remember it a tiny bit-I think it was on before Series 2 started...I think

[Sgt. Jonny]

You are correct sir!

[General Jonnie]

Yay ;D

Also when MXC came to the UK,"The Americans are taking over the castle!"

I didn't like it when Challenge retitled it to "Takeshi's MXC"

Ahhh the memories! ;D

I don't remember many Takeshi's Castle ads... I think I saw a bit of one a few weeks ago. But it was mixed up with other shows. The old ads were the best.

[General Jonnie]

Yeah,is that the "I love Challenge" one?

But yes,the old adverts were much better

[keshi135132518]

Couldn't tell you. I'm an anti-Challengist. I don't watch anything on Challenge now, except Takeshi's Castle when I get the chance to. All their adverts are rubbish now!

[General Jonnie]

I wish I had some of these adverts on tape now -then I'll be able to upload them for everyone to see

[Bet1]

Dunno if this is the one Richard talked about at the beginning but I like the kind of bright-coloured superimposed thing that was on about 6 months ago.

[General Jonnie]

Yeah,that's the one Richard was talking about

I think I actually have that advert-well,I will do as soon as I get all the MXC episodes on my archos
