Looking for a video

[next]

Hi, does anyone remember having seen this video?
It was a tv contest and when the contestant couldn't give the right answer they crushed the prize. In this case a white iMac was crushed by a heavy weight let fall


If anyone remembers the mane of the contest? i'm trying to find that video anywhere, youtube... don't mind quality

Thanx!

I don't remember the name, dammit, but I do remember that they ran it on Comedy Central for a while. If that's any help at all.

Edit: No, I was thinking of Distraction. But I do remember seeing a clip of the show you're talking about. Maybe on one of those TV Blooper shows.

Anyway, while checking on Distraction, I did come across this. Maybe your show is in this group:

Distraction is the latest of a number of game shows that has employed destruction of prizes and/or property as one of its gimmicks. Other such shows have included Trashed, a 1994 MTV game show where contestants gambled their prized possessions as bets on how well they could answer pop culture questions; Big Deal, a knockoff of the classic show Let's Make a Deal in which certain deals involved contestants damaging and/or destroying their own possessions in an effort to win better prizes; I Bet You Will, another MTV program in which random people were selected off the streets or other public venues to perform outrageous stunts and/or have their possessions destroyed for money; and Beat the Crusher, another British game show in which contestants had their prized possessions destroyed as a tradeoff for money and/or punishment for losing games, with the final competition involving two couples gambling their cars in an attempt to win another one (with the loser's car being dropped into a junkyard crusher and smashed.)
