Celebrity Deathmatch is a claymation television show that depicts celebrities against each other in a wrestling ring, almost always ending in the loser's gruesome death. It was known for its excessive amount of blood used in every match and exaggerated physical injuries. The series was created by Eric Fogel; with the pilots airing on MTV on January 1 & 25 1998. The initial series ran from May 14, 1998 to October 20, 2002, and lasted for a 75-episode run. There was one special that did not contribute to the final episode total, entitled "Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Germany", which aired on June 21, 2001. Professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin gave voice to his animated form as the guest commentator. Early in 2003, a film based on the series was announced by MTV to be in the making, but the project was canceled by the end of that year. In 2005, MTV2 announced the revival of the show as part of their "Sic 'Em Friday" programming block. Originally set to return in November 2005, the premiere was pushed back to June 10, 2006 as part of a new "Sic'emation" block with two other animated shows, Where My Dogs At and The Adventures of Chico and Guapo. The show's fifth season was produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios and the premiere drew over 2.5 million viewers, becoming MTV2's highest rated season premiere ever.

User Reviews

Very silly and violent but a good time nonetheless. Mills Lane gives it all the grounding it needs to go nuts.

Joshua Tsopanarias

It is wacky, over the top, and delivers asinine moments that are as fun to watch as they are to describe.

The Grassy Noll

Such a unique concept for a show that provided so much entertainment for me as a kid

This was a fun show to watch with friends. It had a long run but seemed to run out of ideas and become repetitive near the end. Great jokes

The original run was great. Hilariously stupid and funny. The revival had none of the charm and the voice acting is much, much worse.

This was pretty awesome while it was running.

Stop motion product of its time. Probably couldn't be made today. Very violent.

Adam B. Hausser

Fun show that mixed humor, violence and death so perfectly.

Classical teenage favorite of mine! The claymation style perfectly fits the "fighting aesthetics"! Entertaining, dumb fun!

Amusing at times. Can get repeative sorta in a way
