Man V. Food Challenges That Went Very Wrong 

Do you think you could have beaten any of the challenges on "Man v. Food?"

Munchies owner should be ashamed of himself and needed to realize that that much extract could have killed someone. That stuff is very potent, and you don't screw around with it. That guy should have been sued.

1:38 Saw the wings and immediately thought "I bet they rigged it against him somehow" and sure enough, they did.

He was set up!!!! They should’ve sued Munchies for that stunt!!!!!

I remember the Munchies episode and all that was caught on camera too. They even caught the audio of the owner telling the cook to dump the sauce in

What happened at Munchie's was terrible. I can't believe someone would do that.

Munchies literally could have physically hurt him and they didn't care.. This place should have been heavily fined.

I loved watching the Man Vs Food show with Adam Richman. I was never aware until now that the restaurant cheated 😠, shame on them!

Joey Chestnut once said the first bowel movement after the legendary Nathan’s Hot Dog contest was like giving birth to a loaf of Baguette.

15 shakes in 30 minutes is absurd….

Adam Richmond is such a nice, funny, and great guy. The dude loves his fans and people just as much as they love him. Cool cat indeed.

I remember that Adam said that his favorite is the Snow Crab meal from certain episode that took him 15 minutes just to de-shell the crustacean. That was one of the episode where he can eat enjoyably with a smile.

Maybe that show could hire that lady that ate 48 oysters and two side dishes?

this guy started it all!

How did Munchies not get sued. Especially over something so petty lol

never knew it carried on without Adam

I stopped watching after Adam was let go from the show. I find the guy they have in his place to be extremely annoying.

How did Munchies not get sued after doing that to Adam?

They should have sued the owner of Munchies for his business, house and every red cent he had.

Dude wrecked his health for that show.

As someone with lactose intolerance and ibs, just watching this hurts my stomach. 😂

What Munchies did is unacceptable honestly

Shame on Munchies. People should boycott going there for business.

Thats my nephew in the yellow shirt in the Munchies episode. I use to eat at Munchies. Great after the bar place to go. I remember being like "Wow" Munchies took him down. But the disappointment of the cheat later on. But thats Sarasota..even Munchies was a cool place to go back in the day. But now my hometown is a freakin overcrowded tourist trap.

I LOVED HIM BUT I ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT HIS HEALTH..... I JUST FIGURED HE THREW UP AFTER....

Yeah that's no fib. There's a lot of restaurants out there that have food challenges that will pull some kind of bs to cheat. Many Speed Eaters will have a story or two about some Restaurants pulling stunts like that one. I never get why they do so either it makes no sense.

the sugar and diary challenges are the worst and most nauseating

Dairy especially a milk shake challenge is really tough as are oysters. But oyster milkshakes are the hardest food challenge

I enjoyed watching Adam in that show so much, but I am glad that he moved on. He has talked about what that show did to him. One thing that sticks out is him saying he ran stairs for 2 hours one day as just one of his workouts. And that was to maintain his heavy physique. He hated it. I think he only ate once a day too.

The guy should've put wax in his mouth like Homer Simpson did when he was eating the wings.

The one where he bit the pepper and immediately screamed was fake af. How anyone could take that seriously has never tried a hot pepper before😒

I totally loved this show!!!

I use to love this show. I still remember watching a few of these on TV back in the day.

I definitely surprised he didn't have a heart attack smh....

yikes, sugar sickness... man, I'm someone with a bit of a sweet tooth, but ever since getting a mild case of sugar sickness, I tend to police my desserts more, be it eating less than I want (more likely) or drinking some water more frequently. I can hardly imagine what all those shakes did to Richman at that moment, gave me goosebumps

😂 I would have loved to see Adam and the other guy vomit their ice cream and milkshakes as well as the crowds reaction.

I always watched this and knew he was doing some irreversible damage lol🤣

I went to the Sarasota Munchies for my B-Day a few weeks after all this happened. I saw that Adam's photo was already up on their wall of shame. I agree, he was totally set up. They should have been disqualified. However, Munchies regular stuffed subs were insanely huge and delicious. Stoners everywhere!!

Dudes a doppelgänger for my best friend that passed 10 years ago, every time I see him it messes me up

Good thing he lost that last one, no chance they had an "I ❤ NYC" shirt big enough for his opponent.

Poor guy that’s terrible they did that to him, he’s such a lovable guy

That show was the best . I used to love watching it with my Pops

@7:41 the faces in the crowd😭😭

2:45 I can’t hear A minor without thinking of the drake diss 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂

I'm surprised that the Carnivore Pizza Challenge from Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria was not mentioned in this video. It was an epic fail when Drew (Adam Richman's eating partner in the challenge) vomited outside the restaurant, even though that moment was censored too.

All that ice cream in sixty minutes there is no way he didn't get a brain freeze

How long did the show last with that sasquatch replacement after Adam? 😂😂

Used to work at Eagles. That’s a big ass burger!

That Steak challenge in Puerto Rico looked SO delicious, and I knew there was no way he could finish it. I could eat about 1/10 of that. He did well.

Some of these spicy challenges can kill you... as someone who like spicy food, I would never try one of these challenges.

Adam is a legend. Wasnt interested in the show after he was replaced.

I loved that show. And u know I didn't think about that poor dudes health at all during his challenges snd stuff. Hes just such a nice funny fun guy that thats all I thought. How fun!! Lol. And now seeing him after he's left the show and cleaned up and dropped weight and also shared a ton of horrors stories about his time on the show I feel so bad for the guy. I mean its in his past and he changed himself for the better BIG TIME! Last time I saw him he was giving an interview and I was shocked!! He looked like a freaking model! And that's so awesome. Ive never heard anyone speak ill of him. The opposite actually. Unfortunately after all these yrs later since Adam moved on from the show its now ME who desperately needs a total lifestyle overhaul. Cross ur fingers for me folks! Lol...everyone HAGD. Ty for the video. It was great

I liked his "Adam Eats The 80s" more than anything

Your voice sounds like if the WatchMojo lady didn’t talk like a news anchor…and I mean that as a compliment I like your voice!

those wings...lol

I miss Adam....hopes he comes back on a new show or make guest appearances like he did with Mike Chen.

If I remember correctly it wasn’t entirely munchies fault, a recent interview on hot ones I believe had Adam mention that he later found out that a relatively new producer was on set and goaded the chef into adding the unsafe amount of extract… I mean if I’m wrong correct me but I could swear I have vivid memories of this statement being said by Adam

This is like a lotta mukbang content. I’m sorry food is meant to be enjoyed not suffering.

I feel like he saw my comment about the munchies cafe and that's how he found out because I was working there at the time and a long time after it happened I explained to him in a comment what they did. I can't think of anyone else who actually told him. I was pretty pissed they did that to him. Especially since if it wasn't for Adam that place would be closed by now. It's really gross in that kitchen, it's been a long time since I worked there but I doubt anything changed.

I was also in the finals of a bbq challenge with Miss Class back in the day.

I remember seeing the milkshake episode. He said the coffee milkshake was what did it. It was too much and ruined his attempt. Poor decision-making on his part, yes, but if he’d done just vanilla he may have stood a chance

3:29 that spice was instant

All those milkshakes at once is enough to destroy your pancreas and liver.

I could see the Oyster challenge going hella wrong. I love oysters like that, and once ate 10. But got stupidly sick afterwards.

Adam has been the most underrated hero in existence

That’s incredible that the Wing challenge was tampered with like that. So cruel and dangerous. I had a guy put out ghost pepper peanuts but hid the label. I thought I was going to knock him off his chair. So brutal.

I can only imagine the kinds of experiences Adam had on the toilet after some of these meals...

The milk shake episodes gave me the squirts. Just from watching them. 😂😂

When I see powdered extremely hot spice, I don't want to see the challenge. Use real peppers or simply don't do the challenge. Extremely hot powders are a cheat for the restaurant to win. Some of the very hot powdered wings, as well as other very hot powder covered foods, I've seen on these channels, are just awful. I think, if you are so determined to use a very hot powder, you should cover it with something like honey or butter, and cook it into the food. Extremely hot powdered challenges are the absolute pits. A self respecting restaurant would simply refuse to do them. Use real peppers first off or if you do use very hot powders, cook them in or simply don't use very hot powders. Much respect to Adam and Casey. They always brought the entertainment, no matter what.

0:48 needed French fries as that is what competitive ice cream eaters do. Like water for buns.

I thought Adam was going to reveal that he had a permanent rod after the oyster challenge.

Munchies essentially pepper sprayed his mouth.

Surprised that the fact they had a Red Sox player in the joint cheering on the competitor wasn't brought up for the Eagles challenge. "Is that how you eat a burger? YOU BUM!?"

I went to that Delly in Annapolis, and I chugged, not one but 2 of 6 lbs shakes. That was back in July of 2020. I have pics with the 2 huge glasses. It was a nightmare digesting all that dairy!

I hate when restaurants cheat...dude the point of the challenge is to be possible, and fun. It's a marketing thing....

Richard should’ve filed a lawsuit against the restaurant for almost killing him as well as criminal charges. What the owner and cooks did was just evil and just because he signed a piece of paper doesn’t automatically give the owners an out and can be tried in court as being illegal.

You could tell at a glance those wings were deadly.

i remember the milkshake one. i laughed cause i knew he wasnt goin to finish. all the sugar n dairy

Fred Savage got a new gig

I loved this show ... but so glad Adam quit doing this because I think we all got worried about him!

I feel that pain, a ramen place in Savannah Georgia got pissed I kept winning and made the last bowl I ever ate there so ungodly hot that it was impossible to actually get through. I drank two gulps of the broth and had to lay on the bathroom floor shirtless for thirty minutes

While there are RU-vidrs who defeated almost every challenge, the reason why these guys are good is that they're just average guys trying to challenge themselves. With the RU-vidrs, it’s no challenge with them, so it's not as exciting.

If you're not used to eating more than a plate and want to be a competitive eater don't do it your stomach will blow up if you over eat

Tbh, I like man vs food , cause of him. He is the greatest icon that I have ever seen (Adam).

This guy could eat!

did the big texan 72 ounce steak barely & 5 pound cheesesteak of tony luke's also barely a couple years ago. so yes i can beat some but there aren't gonna be many of them.

Adam always seemed like such a sick and down to earth dude

" ...and the desperate, silent, 'Why?!' he lobbed to the sky." Pretty snazzy writing.

As a person from Sarasota I agree. if the wings don’t kill you the people will try to.

I mean you eat 180 oysters in one sitting im pretty sure youll never want to look at them again.

He's a cool bloke. I met him in Ireland. He takes no shit from anywhere or anyone. Lot of respect for the dude.

4:13 I think this is the place where they keep reusing the sauce so it keeps getting hotter. The owner told him that and Adam said, “You’re a dick!” 🤣🤣🤣

that's why the show should be with Joel Hanson

Eating too much extremely spicy food like that can cause serious damage to your body. Also, water makes spicy foods worse.

Been sick off oysters really bad and never went back. 3 days on my back blowing hard out both ends even after a single sip of water. Probably shoulda checked into the hospital but was too delicious to cope with taking care of myself. It was like being super sick off tequila times 100. Oysters are nasty.

AW NAH THATS WRONG NEEDED LAWSUIT MUNCHIES

why does he always keep his jacket on?

I find it far more believable that a D list tv celebrity couldnt meet the challenege and lied to throw the restaurant under the bus because the only consistent trait of celebrities is narcissism.

Good thing nothing happened to Adam after all those shows I always was kind of worried about him.

Mr. Faill: You are all vegetarians? Srila Prabhupada: Yes, because Krishna is a vegetarian. Krishna can eat anything because He is God, but in the Bhagavad-gita [9.26] He says, "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, I will accept it." He never says, "Give Me meat and wine."
