I was watching MT True Life, and they did a thing on Muay Thai. I saw the 2 guys doing sit ups while someone pounded on their chests with boxing gloves on. What does this do, and is it good for you?

I think it gives you a sore chest and really annoys the hell out of you 
It will be a conditioning (toughening up) thing. The hitting the chest will make it harder obviously and get them used to being hit.
I would compare it to doing sit ups and someone throwing a medicine ball at you to catch, Just a little more violent.

Somewhere I have an old karate ab workout video where they do things like this. I think it was by a guy named Mark Lala. They do the medicine ball, punching, knees/legs... He even shows a workout he does by himself slamming a heavy bag into his stomach. It's all so that you can take more blows in a fight.
Bas Rutten says his favorite way to knock someone out is with body shots. Imagine that, being knocked out by just body hits ... they do it so it takes longer for that to happen I suppose
The guy's name was Marco Lala, I just found the video.
