In every episode of this the host says "Best/greatest/most extraordinary obstical course ever" ... Those ptresenters have obviously never seen takeshi's castle
Awesome! And I totally agree. I don't hate the BBC version but it is too slow paced. I usually don't like any US game shows, mainly because I think they're always super dramatic and slightly fake, but their version of wipeout made me laugh so much more than ours. It sucks in comparison and you can make excuses like 'British comedy is different' but that doesn't explain the nauseatingly slow commentary and the camera concentrating on one person for seemingly half an hour. I wish it was like this!
I've seen the US version now and to be honest they're about the same in terms of the competition. The only real difference is the presenting style, the american version seems more dramatic and serious, whereas, thanks mostly to the legend Richard Hammond, the UK version is more light hearted and sarcastic. So it depends which presenting style you prefer. Yes the British version may be slower paced, but thats probably because it's a BBC show with no comercials.
I love the Australian and American Wipeout's...it's funny though, today I watched a repeat of Total Wipeout on BBC 1 and it was *so* slow and serious in comparison. I've heard there'll be a second series and even a celeb version so I hope the whole format/presenting gets revamped. Srsly.
It's not serious at all.. If you actually think when they do the thing before the wipeout zone about how winning means everything to them is not simply staged, you're incredibly nieve.
The English version just takes the piss out of competitors.. How is it serious?
sorry that was harsh.. what i mean is that in america, tv seems to employ slapstick sound effects and comments to make it light hearted, over here we prefer to dryly take the piss out of them as they do the course and be slightly sarcastic about it all, it sounds mean but thats what makes it light hearted.. that and richard hammond is amazing
Well I personally prefer British humour, being a Brit myself, but I dunno, with a physical gameshow such as this I prefer the 'obvious' bits of humour. But at least there's kinda different versions of the same format for people to like the best. :)
i would love if Total Wipeout had the same intro style and theme as US Wipeout
"20 Men and Women from all across the UK competing in Buenos Ares, Argentina in the strangest, toughest, obstacle course on television, all leading up to the wipeout zone where only one man or woman will be our Total Wipeout Champion and take home our 10,000 pound cash prize. Who will win and who will face - TOTAL WIPEOUT"
That's how it should be done! I spent Saturday night watching the American version on YouTube and couldn't stop laughing. The BBC need to get Hammond a co-host to do a bit of banter or SOMETHING, the UK version is quite..mediocre. :(
Give me one sob story on total wipeout. What the hell are you talking about? Do your research before you speak complete and utter bullshit. This advert made the show look far more serious than it is. I bet you havent even watched the show becuase you couldnt talk more bull shit. The show is funny and not serious whatsoever. Since when does the original show somehow affect a different one made by completely different people? Torchwood is a spin off of Doctor Who but they are completely different.
America is the master of seriousness over something that is trying to be entertaining. If you watched 5 mins of the british version of this show, you would realise what a retard you are being. 'Also, this was American "sh*t" to start with. Me thinks you need to watch the original before casting opinions.' Me thinks you should realise that however bad the american series was, it has no affect on the british one. God, retards piss me off.
No, I just didn't want an argument at all, let alone on YouTube. Only retards do that :)
I did see Total Wipeout, and I thought it was no where near as good as the American original.
Okay, there were no 'sob' stories as such, but interviewing the contestants to find out "I really need to win this, blah blah etc etc" was totally unneeded.
i admit that i ... overeacted, but i have seen the american version and to be honest, it isnt funny at all! The british one is, but that is just my opinion.
I much prefer the UK one to be honest.. I love british Comedy;D.

You may call someone "thick" or "stupid" when you learn how to spell or how to use grammar. Until then don't comment on our videos.

I'm not criticizing either one..but I noticed how American shows have to be made so dramatic for them to find it entertaining o_O
Naomi07 3 years ago 2
which is odd in this case as the american version is much more light hearted and ours tries to be more dramatic :s
what?!
TotalWipeoutUK 3 years ago
Ours doesn't try to be dramatic, it mocks the dramaticness, American programs are constantly hyping up.

i havent seen the american version so i cant comment on that

crashbandicoot62 3 years ago
As opposed to any other English sh*t? That's over serious for no reason and filled with sob stories (like Total Wipeout was).
Also, this was American "sh*t" to start with. Me thinks you need to watch the original before casting opinions.

Richard Hammond (/his script writers) also wasn't funny at all.
I just have to look at the American version for 30 seconds to realise how funny that is and how bad Total Wipeout is in comparison. That's all.
Obviously you can have your own opinion, but I, and a LOT of other people, think that the American series completely beats ours hands down.
Thanks :)

Total Wipeout - because Craig Charles was busy doing something else.
The show would be better if they got Jeremy Clarkson to commentate with Richard Hammond, but it just falls flat.
