The Feel-Good Part
There is a general charm and appeal to this show. After all, this is their 18th time doing it. Every time you watch the gang you think that they cannot top themselves in terms of extremity but they manage to do it even more than the first time. The extreme nature of these challenges is not only what keeps audiences coming back for more but it is also the thing that keeps the show interesting. The best part about the show is its ability to mix slapstick comedy with curbing the audience’s expectations. You want to know what happens next but at the same time, we don’t know what will happen if they fail. The idea of controlling laughter is a concept that will never get old and is often used to get a quick laugh, and the show uses this to its advantage. But above all, the best part of this entire show is the cast. Not only have long-time fans been watching themselves being punished over 18 times but newer viewers will also gravitate toward them and their various shenanigans.
The Disappointing Factor
The show has a massively unnecessarily long duration of 4 hours and 55 minutes. Not only is this duration extremely long, but it is also extremely ridiculous. It affects the show in several ways: The comedic aspects of the show being to wear thin, audiences will not be able to watch and will get fatigued after a point in time, and newer audiences will not feel like watching this show because of its massive runtime. But if you do manage to watch this show and stick around for its 4 hours and 55 minutes, you may come to enjoy it.
