Crystal Maze
Anyone remember the good wholesome cheesey fun that was 'The Crystal Maze?'
For those of you that have missed out on this here is the basic premise: A team of people would go in to the maze which featured four zones (originally Aztec, Industrial, Medieval and Futuristic). In each zone they would have to complete a couple of tasks to win crystals. These challenges were classed as 'physical,' 'mental,' 'skill,' or 'mystery.'
If a contestant failed a challenge and didn't get out of the room within the time limit then they would be locked in. If they actually managed to win one of the crystals this could be used to buy more time in the Crystal Dome at the end of the show. In the Crystal Dome they would have to try and collect gold tickets to win a final prize. With me so far?
A few years ago there was a tv show called 'The Adam & Joe Show' where they had sketches that were acted out by toys. One episode featured some Star Wars toys taking part in an episode of 'Crystal Maze.' Myself, Xulub and Rhub all managed to see it but ever since then I've had trouble convincing people that this was real if we've ever been discussing comedy shows. Luckily for me I now have proof. Adam Buxton, of 'Adam & Joe' fame has put it up on YouTube unleashing it on the world once more.
The first time I saw it I thought it was hilarious, partly because of the 'Star Wars/Crystal Maze' combination but mainly because mouths superimposed on inaminate objects are always funny.
Enjoy.
Now I wonder if they have 'Thumb Wars' anywhere on YouTube...?
