TV Hangover: Man vs. Beast ‘The Track Race’

Man vs. Beast TV Show In case you missed it, Man vs. Beast was a Fox TV show in 2003, that featured human competitors trying to beat various animals, or “beasts” as the show called them, in athletic activities. There were many uniquely funny and ridiculous moments on Man vs. Beast but none funnier than when a team of tracksuit wearing midgets raced a camel. Not only is this ridiculous purely for the setup. I mean, brilliant idea. But what makes the clip is the completely over the top announcing. I hope he got paid well for this, because that is not easy.

Really, I feel bad for everyone involved in this race. From the midgets who are obviously being exploited because they look funny running around the track, which they do, to the camel who thinks it’s running for its life, and for anyone, like me, who actually spent minutes (plural) watching this dreg. But in the end, Joe Gieb’s track team of midgets did pretty well. It’s unfortunate that “Mighty Mike Murga” had to slow them down.
