Elton vs. Simon is a German remake of the Canadian reality comedy show Kenny vs.
[1] Like Kenny and Spenny, Elton and Simon are friends who share an apartment and fight each other in unusual competitions.
The winner of a competition is allowed to think out some kind of unpleasant task called Bestrafung (Punishment) the loser has to perform.
It had almost the same opening credits (only the heads of Kenny and Spenny were replaced with those of Elton and Simon) and most of the competition ideas were adopted from the original series.
The concept of the series was slightly changed and it was renamed Elton vs. Simon - Die Live-Show.
