I will see your all of the above, and raise you:

Even at the time I could not believe that this was indeed a thing that happened. Insert Doug Walker meme here: It's for kids!

Is this trolling? You have potentially 80s, 90s, and 00s mixed up, and then whatever the lower left is.
But are you old enough to Have you ever, ever felt like this?
I recognize the Richie Rich cartoon on the top right. Don't know the others.
The guy at the bottom is M.A.D. (Music Art Dance) my Indian colleague watches it in background like all 8 hours he is in office.
I'm guessing it's Indian.
Lower right is MXC

So it is a dub of Takeshi's Castle.
The original show was Takeshi's Castle from Japan in the '80s. It was shown in the UK with Craig Charles from Red Dwarf commentating but to be honest that wasn't as funny as the version you linked to.
Can't forget Guy LeDouche!
Thanks to you. I couldn't remember more than the M and the C. And it was killing me. Hilarious show. Terrible on a few moral levels, but I never claimed to be a saint.
Why does that Richie Rich image look like someone took that frame from an episode and asked AI to redraw it? The eyes kinda look nightmare fuel.
And you're that american, probably.
OP is probably Indian or at least from a Hindi speaking household.
As another commenter here pointed out the show in the bottom left is M.A.D. (music, art, and dance). It was produced in India and originally in Hindi, starting in 2005. I can't find any information about international syndication for that show but it would have been weird for it to be on TV in the US at that time.
The Richie Rich cartoon in the top right first aired in the US from 1982-84 according to IMDB. I can't be certain if there were repeats (or "reruns") of it shown in the US but if there were its unlikely to have been a big part of kids' childhoods in the mid '00s. One thing I did find was a bunch of Hindi dubs of the show when I searched "Richie Rich India" so its more likely a Hindi language channel would have been broadcasting those dubs around the time that M.A.D. was on the air.
Rahul is also a popular name in India and the username Rahuliy is probably some variation of that.
Don't get me wrong I understand the frustration around the US centric nature of a lot of platforms and some of the communities here on Lemmy but that probably isn't the case here.
Takeshi's Castle is Japanese, kthx.
Right you are, Ken!
And I would bet that the original OP meant the American-dubbed version Most Extreme Elimination Challenge that was on TV in the early 2000s.
Yes, and it was televised even in Germany. But that's not the point. The post is US defaultism par excellence, not because it depicts US-american TV shows but because it defaults to a US-american perspective and audience on an international platform.
It's been dubbed and rebroadcast in a LOT of forms all over the world.
