Celebrity Deathmatch was a satirical animated series that aired on MTV from 1998 to 2007, featuring claymation versions of pop culture icons battling to the death in a wrestling ring. The show was known for its over-the-top violence, crude humor, and celebrity parodies.

The show was hosted by series creator Scott Rayow and co-hosted by Len Maxwell, who provided commentary on the fights as they happened. The show also featured a cast of voice actors, including David Wills, Stephanie Courtney, and Chris Edgerly, who provided voices for various celebrity characters.

Each episode of Celebrity Deathmatch featured two or three matches between celebrities from different fields, such as music, movies, sports, and politics. The matches usually began with an introduction of the two celebrities, followed by a humorous backstory leading up to the fight.

The celebrity characters were depicted in a caricatured style and often had exaggerated features and mannerisms. For example, the show featured a claymation version of Marilyn Manson, complete with his signature makeup and a giant mechanical spider. Other celebrities who appeared on the show included Madonna, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and Snoop Dogg.

The fights were often brutal and violent, with the contestants using a wide range of weapons and tactics to dispatch their opponents. Blood and gore were common, and no holds were barred in the ring. The show also featured a number of special guest referees, including boxing legend Mills Lane, who brought his trademark catchphrase "Let's get it on!" to the ring.

In addition to the fights themselves, Celebrity Deathmatch also featured a number of sketches and segments that poked fun at various aspects of pop culture. For example, one segment featured a segment called "Behind the Battle," which lampooned behind-the-scenes interview shows.

Throughout its run, Celebrity Deathmatch was a controversial and polarizing show. Its violent content and irreverent humor drew criticism from many parents and conservative groups, who accused the show of promoting violence and disrespecting celebrity figures. However, the show's fans often praised its satire and unique style, and it became one of MTV's most popular shows during its run.

Despite its popularity, Celebrity Deathmatch was eventually cancelled in 2007 due to declining ratings and budget concerns. However, the show has remained a cult favorite among fans of irreverent humor and over-the-top violence, and it continues to live on through reruns and online streaming services.

In conclusion, Celebrity Deathmatch was a wild and wacky show that pushed the boundaries of satire and animation. Through its outrageous celebrity parodies and brutal wrestling matches, the show became an icon of 90s pop culture and remains a beloved classic for fans of irreverent humor.

Celebrity Deathmatch is a series that is currently running and has 6 seasons (94 episodes). The series first aired on May 14, 1998.
