Ehhh sounds like a bad idea. Abridged commercials during the Sasuke broadcast would be a better idea tbh. I'll keep that in mind. |

I'd lean towards no, and here's why:
The reason MXC/Takeshi's Castle/other abridged series (eg Yugioh) works, is because the shows themselves have a certain level of ridiculousness. If you take any random episode of Takeshi's castle out of context, it looks absurd. Why is this guy dressed as a chicken? Why is there a musical number? Why is he jumping over dolphins? There is so much strange stuff in the visual's, that it is possible to create intriguing and funny narratives.
Now look at Sasuke. If you took any random clip of Sasuke, it is still pretty apparent that it is an athletics show with competitors running serious courses. Since there is much less insanity and variety in the visual area to go off of, the writing needs to be THAT much better, and in nearly every case, Abridged series fail if the visuals do not provide a large part of the context.

I see the reasoning. OK then. It won't happen. "You may go about your business. Move along." -Stormtrooper |
