prstskrz I was thinking of the more obscure ones like Cindy Margolis and Debbie Matenopoulos, even most Americans my age probably have no idea who they are unless they watched a lot of cable TV or read People Magazine back then.
@@MrBeardsley ah yeh I see what you mean, I was thinking more of ones like Tommy Lee, who if you were a teenage boy in the late 90s you heard of cos of his, uh, amateur videos rather than music career, or Anna Nicole.
YES! PETER! I AM WITH YOU! I've seen so many people give one star ratings to stuff like candy on Amazon because they ordered something highly perishable in the hottest part of summer and it melted. Like, no shit your chocolate's ruined, Jen!
Just a heads up Bois, Ron Jeremy does that Hedgehog thing because he's know as Ron "The Hedgehog" Jeremy, because he's small fat and hairy/prickly, just like a hedgehog. Also Tommy Lee is the drummer from Motley Crue \m/
Several celebrities actually voiced themselves in the actual show. Lucy Lawless, Jerry Springer, Debbie Matanopolis, and several of the WWE stars all voiced themselves. Meanwhile, MTV also claims that several other stars (upon watching the show) claimed that they would have voiced themselves as well if MTV had asked.
The place in the UK called Gotham is pronounced Goat-ham. I've made the mistake of mispronouncing it to a local and in return received a royal ribbing..
I only played the PS1 version, and it was pretty awful in comparison to this. But I didn't mind it as a kid. It was just really difficult and awkward to control. Another thing is you had to manually input specific button presses in order to perform the fatality like finish, otherwise it just ends in an anticlimactic way.
I still had found brand new retail PS1 (yes, the original) copies of this game in 2011-2012 in my nation wide electronics store. I don't know where they got them, but they still had a bunch. It was funny too, because the PS1 cases don't have any security or plastic wrap on them so they resorted to putting each copy into their respective security/alarm trigger box in order to prevent someone from stealing the disks. I can't imagine someone going out of their way to steal this game.
Really? How old are you? I'm 32 and I know every single one. Celebrities were more influential back then too, maybe because there were no online celebrities to compete with. Ironically enough, Cindy Margolis's pictures were the most downloaded pictures on the entire internet back in the day. Anna Nicole Smith was famous for being an unknown stripper who married a 90+ year old billionaire and inherited his money after a dramatic trial. She also had one of the first reality shows where media incessantly made fun of her gaining a lot of wet and appearing to portray a dumb blonde stereotype. She was as hated as today's Kim K. Regardless, she has an outrageously gorgeous smile and was beautiful even when overweight.
@@clockhanded 29. I was aware of some of them, obviously, like Marilyn Manson, Tommy Lee, Jerry Springer and Justin Timberlake. But most of them I'd never heard of, like the two you mention in your comment. I'd also never heard of the show this game was based on.
I remember going to Gamestop and seeing this game (back in 2003). I had always had an enjoyment out of fighting and more so wrestling games, but then I started to play the game. My brother and I played the game taking turns on matches, this way we could beat the game with both of us getting to experience the let down. I’m still not entirely sure what I expected from this game back in 2003, even now I’m unsure. I think that it was more of a shock factor game that you could play with a friend for a few mins, (or hours depending on your intoxication level) and have a laugh with. What I am sure of is I enjoyed you all playing it much more than I enjoyed playing it.
Is it bad that I'm kinda enjoying the off screen version of the series? It has a certain twee playfullness that I haven't seen since the Vidiots days. :)
From 3:41, I've placed Ben and Peter's voices into the Celebrity Deathmatch hosts' bodies and it works surprisingly well! Trying to decide who's who. Please consider this graphics style for future social distance videos...
@@jsmith3946 I just got a pet hedgehog. Happen to find a screen shot that day of Ron Jeremy dressed as Super Mario. I show it to my hubby & he says “his nickname is the hedgehog you know.” I laughed of course
This game is so bad, it’s good. Not every day do you get to play as such classic fighters as the entire group of N-SYNC and Carrot Top, to name but a few.
Unless the controls are really bad and wonky, this game doesn't actually look bad! Also, I'm a huge fan of the show!!! I heard it's coming back and I'm super excited!
@@jsmith3946Good. Let it stay dead. It was always divisive; like Peter said earlier. It wasn't that good even back then; and while the game's accurate to the show; both the quality of the show and the game are crap; looking back at it nowadays. And I was heavily into both the show and game when this came out; and I remember the game getting 16% but still playing it anyways; and unlocking every character; and using everyone's finisher; and realized it really wasn't worth it in the end. But the show can be funny...when you're like 12-13; and you don't know or don't care who most of these people are. Especially when you don't care. Because I know I don't care now...
Ron Jeremy was known as the Hedgehog. Debbie Matanopolis was the host of TV Guide Network Cindy Margolis was one of the most popular women on the Internet in the early 00s.
Debbie was one of the original co-hosts of "The View". She eventually left and was replaced by Lisa Ling. She got to do the voice of her clay-mated counterpart shortly afterward. One CDM episode actually had (not actually voiced) Lisa Ling and Barbara Walters appearing and Debbie (once again, actually voiced by her) referred to Lisa as "Bitch who stole my job".
I noticed the shadows straight away and thought their shadows were Vashta Nerada from Doctor Who, and was wondering why they weren't being eaten. But if their shadows were Vashta Nerada they'd have 2 shadows each and they don't. So I don't know what's with the shadows.
Was the devil that pulled Carrot Top to hell supposed to be Angus Young? Nice touch if so. I loved the show. Was so stupid yet a lot of effort was put into it. Even had the real Stone Cold Steve Austin as a regular character. We do not speak of the reboot with digital animation.
Sad that in the intervening years, most of the celebs here who haven't died (RIP Anna Nicole, the world wasn't kind to you) have been cancelled. Joey Fatone is a nice guy iirc though!
@@jeremyriley1238 that's the one. I bought it because I was like 13 and it was rated M and therefore awesome to my tiny mind. Thinking back there is no way it was good but I remember some fun bits. Kind of like Celebrity Deathmatch
I loved this show for at least 3 weeks. It was the lead-in to the infinitely superior Jackass in the UK in the early 2000's. Remember stretching out in front of the fire in my mum's house back then, enjoying and then being incredibly frustrated that it's taking so long back then. What? Was I ridiculously stoned and just wanted rl people hurting themselves? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
7 year old me loved this show. Helped that I was (and still am) big into wrestling and they always had a bunch of good wrestler cameos. Never knew there was a game. Lately I’ve been doing semi well financially so maybe a slight spending spree is in my future. Thanks guys. This was… solid
This game is cool for what it is. A game that’s fun for a few plays and has loads of funny references (bit dated now though). If you liked the show you’ll like the game....for a short time

Been a few months since I tuned into triplejump - Ben and Peter look different than I remembered
@Nigel Lush thank u for the explanation science side of youtube
So psyched to finally watch one of these live 😍
One of the funniest you've done in a while, lots of loud laughs there amazed my mum didn't come and ask what was so funny!
I’ve only watched one full fight from this show: Stone Cold vs. Vince McMahon. It is a very late-90s, early-2000s show.
Several celebrities actually voiced themselves in the actual show.
Lucy Lawless, Jerry Springer, Debbie Matanopolis, and several of the WWE stars all voiced themselves.
Meanwhile, MTV also claims that several other stars (upon watching the show)
claimed that they would have voiced themselves as well if MTV had asked.

Probably not the greatest time to have Ron Jeremy in a game.
..Ron Jeremy.
i dont know that one.
yeah right.
LOL It's because he was known as 'the hedgehog' of porn xD
They couldn't figure out the ron jeremy hedgehog move 😆 classic
I swear even the shittest games look awesome when you're a kid, I played this many years ago and thought it was great. now I have changed my mind
I know I'm late to the party but I can't believe how MM in this is basically Voldo from Soul Blade/Calibur........
Wait. Is Marilyn Manson just copying Voldo's moveset?
Imagine this being the first TJ video someone saw, thinking “who the heck are these guys, and where are they?” LOL 😂
Gotham near Grantham is pronounced goat-hum. Whenever I drive past it somebody always points that out lol.
Given how Grantham is pronounced, that makes no sense. Us Brits are weird.

"Celebrity" Deathmatch might be a more accurate title.
this was my childhood 😭 i was a demon when i was little, i loved gore
i can see this game being perfectly ok for a laugh in multiplayer.
Mechanically it seems to work as what it is.
The show was ok, but this is actually cool. Rons nickname is the hedgehog, he's gross.
Its because of his backhair

Poor taste? That about sums up Celebrity Deathmatch as a whole.
"WCW Exhibition Match" aka the main event at Bash at the Beach
Also: "Where's my fluffer?" 13:22
Which is an indictment on WCW, not you logically assuming it would have gone no further than an exhibition match
Anna Nicole Smith was a Playboy model and also she was a female companion character in on of the Naked Gun movies.
It’s Frankinstien’s monster…the monster unfortunately never gets a name 😅
Ben: "1 star"
Peter "oooh"
Me: "OOOH"
Tommy Lee is from the Band Mötley crue
Well Ron Jeremy just got charged with assault so his pron career might be over.
Gotta love a game that doesn't wanna say "piss" but is just fine with a casual spousal abuse joke.
That there is MURICAN morality.
2:59 they look like they just realised it wasn't just a fart
This game is so bad, it’s good. Not every day do you get to play as such classic fighters as the entire group of N-SYNC and Carrot Top, to name but a few.
