The hosts suck and there is nothing funny about it-it's more geared to making the contestants suffer.The hosts of MXC are part of the program-the costumes and their interactions.


In MXC it's the naughty writing. You have to pay close attention to the dialogue because it's so cleverly written. It's topical and timely-the play on the contestant's names, occupations and the dubbing are what make the show.

That is the kind of clever humor that I find funny. You can say that it is juvenile, but the double entendres and veiled references make you THINK about the joke- as opposed to it just being a sight gag!

I do like the characters on MXC, They make the show more interesting!

Does anyone do the BBC documentaries?

They are really edgy and address some topics that only show up on talk shows-and even then you have the host asking stupid questions followed by a doctor or psychologist who try to explain something that is out of their specialty.
