Plot Synopsis

Based on the UK series of the same name, THE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE GAME SHOW is a weekly series, with each 30-minute episode featuring a new group of six neon-clad contestants taking on simple, yet hilariously difficult games. To win, the contestants must complete four of the six games, without running out of lives. If they fail a game, they've got to do it again...and again...and AGAIN. Contestants don't compete against each other, but against the game itself. With challenges such as riding a tiny bike across a balance beam over a mud pit, putting on a pair of trousers while sprinting on a giant treadmill, and inflating a balloon to the point of popping using only the power of your buttocks, contestants never know what's next. Throughout the series, comedy duo The Rubber Bandits -- Blindboy Boatclub (real name Dave Chambers) and Mr. Chrome (real name Bob McGlynn) -- provide anarchic commentary and their own twisted take as the contestants try to make the almost-impossible possible. In the series premiere, "Shut Up, Slimecake," a potty-mouthed geek gets a butt full of slime, a game store clerk has performance problems pumping his rump, and an elbow-licking bachelorette hugs her boobs for extra support.
