Celebrity Deathmatch is an adult stop-motion claymated series created by Eric Fogel for MTV. The show parodies sports entertainment programs by depicting various celebrities engaging in highly stylized professional wrestling matches. These matches are known for their large amount of gory violence as combatants use different abilities and weapons to deliver brutal attacks resulting in exaggerated physical injuries. The sarcastic commentary from announcers Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond adds another layer of humor to the already hilarious scenarios.
The show had a total of six seasons with 92 episodes during its run from 1998 to 2007. It was briefly revived with German shorts 'Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Germany' in 2001 but did not gain much traction among fans. However, the fifth and sixth seasons produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios drew over 2.5 million viewers making it MTV2's highest-rated season premiere.
