Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Germany (translated to German as Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Deutschland) is a German variant of the hit MTV show Celebrity Deathmatch. In Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Germany, German celebrities would fight in a claymation style. Many of the celebrities were politicians or German actors, athletes, and musicians that were not well known to the general public. The show ran from 2001-2002 before being canceled due to poor ratings. And for good reason: This show was what brought the show to its original cancellation.

Why this version sucks

 * 1) If you thought the Seasons 5 & 6 were bad, this is even worse. The biggest reason is that, like the 2006 revival, Eric Fogel had no involvement. Eric Fogel hated it, and even Germany hated it, because it felt nothing like the original series.
 * 2) Instead of Eric Fogel, with animation by TakToon Enterprises in the original, this version was handled by Andy Kaiser of Studio Film Bilder.
 * 3) This version doesn't include Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond, but Harry Huber, a German fictional host that nobody even knows about.
 * 4) This only featured celebrities more notable in Germany, and none were well known to the general public.
 * 5) The clay animation here, done by Studio Film Bilder, looks terrible and is completely inferior to that of the original series.
 * 6) This show actually led to the cancellation of the 1998 series.
 * 7) The fight scenes are poor.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) They still kept the original theme song.
