Trivia:

Most celebrities were not voiced by their real-life selves, but by veteran voice actors. However, Mills Lane provided his own voice as the referee.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the fight between Billy Corgan, Dave Grohl, and Courtney Love, a giant dome is closed over the ring and Mills Lane steps outside just before it closes. Shortly thereafter, he is seen inside the ring to stay "Let's get it on."

Quotes:

Debbie Matenopoulos: You may be a reanimated corpse, Stacey, but you don't scare me! I've dealt with bigger stiffs than you!
Stacey Cornbread: Oh yeah? LIKE WHO?
Debbie Matenopoulos: Like Meredith Vieira, THAT'S WHO!

"Let's get it on!"

Along with MTV's animated shows, such as Beavis and Butt-head and Daria, this show is equally enjoyable. Much better than the sock duo, Sifl and Olly. It's fun watching celebrity look-alikes beat the crap... uh, clay out of each other. Mills Lane lends his voice to the referee as himself. Before every match he repeats his famous quote, "Let's get it on!" Note to parents: it's only clay, so ignore that TV14 rating and sit back with your kids and watch your favorite celebrities slug it out. My evaluation: B+.
