Malibu's Excellent Adventure

It has been circulating around the internet for a few days, but I had to make sure everyone sees this clip. A friend of mine brought it to my attention, and it is old-school American Gladiators at its best. During the Human Cannonball competition, the gladiator Malibu receives two feet to the face and is ejected from his platform (this competition always seemed strange to me, because I can't see how a Gladiator could ever win...oh well). However, the good part starts at about the two minute mark, when Mike Adamle asks Malibu about his recuperation. The next minute may go down as the greatest minute ever shown on YouTube. It is magical. It is hillarious. Words do not do it justice. The clip gets bonus points for launching the broadcasting career of one Joe Theissman. Enjoy.

I am glad you put this up becasue this is probably the best Youtube clip i have ever seen. I think we should spear-head a movement to make a modern day American Gladiators. Also, I would love to see a "Behind The Glory: Malibu" edition on FOX Sports Net, that would be "Truly Amazing".
