Ridiculousness Online

I tried. I tried to watch this show for more than 5 minutes...I tried about 7 times and I just can't. It is really that bad. It is so bad in fact that I was moved to write my first review on this site after like 10 years.

It takes only a few seconds to realize what a ripoff this was of Tosh.O, but hey, there are plenty of videos out there to make fun of. Heck, "America's Funniest Home Videos" has been doing it for 25 years. But this show actually ruins funny clips with inane and poorly timed comments and flashes to the co-hosts laughing on a couch. Even the clips don't flow in any kind of logical sense.

At this point, I am actually stunned that the show has been on for two months. The Internet is full of negative reviews. People REALLY hate this show. So either there is some subset of morons out there watching this crap or Viacom is enjoying flushing money down the toilet.

Take my advice - don't watch this show. You will never get those precious moments back. Use the time for something more enjoyable - like cleaning your house or going to the dentist.

I seriously cannot even describe how bad this show is and how uncomfortable I felt watching from my couch. The awkwardness and lack of originality is literally cringe-worthy. Rob throws out these unfunny comments about clips and it's hard to watch because he actually thinks he is being funny. His 2 co-hosts are completely useless, he tries to make one of them seem relevant but someone editing the show can do what this guy does. The other co-host plays the dumb blonde role of the show, and is incredibly stupid. Rob asks her what she thinks of when she hears the word "double-whammy" and she responds by saying... "burgers?" .... Absolutely stupid, right? Rob seems to think it was the funniest thing he's ever heard. It was one uncomfortable thing after another.

This show is everything you would expect it to be, AFV meets Tosh.0. The problem is, Rob is not funny enough to carry this mediocrity on his back. I actually think he was part of the awkwardness. Please Rob, leave the viral video stuff to Daniel Tosh. He is actually funny, you are as the summary to this review reads. I lost every bit of respect for Dyrdek after watching this. One of the worst, most unfunny shows I have ever seen. Nothing is original, and I did not even chuckle once. They go as far as ripping off "What Happens Next?" and a form of Web Redemption from Tosh.0.

Why MTV would green light this show is beyond me. I'm aware at how bad MTV is, how every show is for hipsters with no taste, but this brings them to a new low. I always felt that if you don't like Daniel Tosh then you are either way too sensitive or you simply have an awful sense of humor. That's my opinion. But if you like this show, you have a GOD AWFUL sense of humor, one that mirrors a 10 year old prepubescent little boy/girl. That's a FACT. Worst show to ever grace television. Cut your losses and save face Rob. You challenged Tosh and you failed tremendously. 1/10

Blatant doesn't even begin to describe how bad this show wants to be Tosh.0 - the opening shot of the presenter standing in front of a big screen in the studio, showing a guy taking a spill on his bike, was a ridiculous tell. Hence the title, I assume.

The whole concept is obviously stolen: Showing funny clips from the internet where people do stupid things and hurt themselves - and then add commentary. In Tosh.0's case hilarious and sharp, but in this case taken straight from the most mundane comments on YouTube. Can we get a writer in here, please?

To make matters worse the producers added more unfunny people, besides the dull presenter himself; a giggling girl and some guy with a stupid gadget, both of them utterly pointless.

I still gave it 3 points, the clips were not bad at all. Tell you what to do: Turn off the sound, get your friends together, have a beer or two, and make your own commentary - now that might be a great show:)

I had always been a fan of rob. Even before he got to MTV I followed his skating career. I loved Rob and Big. I've enjoyed Fantasy Factory which focuses on his pseudo- entrepreneurial incubator. So many reasons exist why I loved FF. Then MTV/Rob gets the bad idea of ripping off Tosh.

First-I'm not a big fan of tosh, yet his delivery on the show is spot on. He is funny, has had a long career at being funny, nothing else. I don't hate this show because he is trying to rip off Tosh or because he does a bad job at doing the rip off. Tosh is a rip off of a random late night VH1 show with the fat guy who died a cpl years back. That show was a rip off of Americas funniest videos. Everyone rips off everyone. I enjoy all things funny, regardless of rip off status. I hate it because it is BAD.

Rob is not funny. He is a self promoting skateboarder. That is how he got his contracts, stood out amongst the sea of other skateboarders. That is how he got Rob and Big made (as if he were so famous he needed a full-time body guard-no one outside of the hard core skating community really knew who he was before the show-tony hawk doesn't even have full time security). Rob and Big was good and funny because of the character dynamic. And likely the writers. This show seems to not have any writers.

This show tries but fails at being funny. Rob is so awkward, his jokes so lame, his disposition, his intention of being an authority on all things funny, has made me lose all respect for him. How doesn't he see how sad and lame his show is? Willfully ignorant I assume is his mindset. He just isn't funny. His comments are uninspired, juvenile, and frankly embarrassing. He reminds me of that big scary guy with a gun at a party making stupid jokes-no one dares tell him his jokes suck. But rob is a skinny white dude with a skateboard! Makes no sense.

Then, to attempt differentiation from Tosh so it wasn't such a blatant rip off, is the addition of "co-hosts" which serve to play the straight men. However, Rob uses these people with stupid, childish, ghetto ass names (even though the woman is white and from wealth) as fodder and support in his jokes. They never have anything remotely funny to say. The blonde bimbo is a living stereotype and embodies the worst a teenager can joke about blondes. Her character made it final in my mind to no longer respect Rob. She plays the dumb blonde hot chic. She is over the top ignorant. Over the top "that dumb girl." If Rib really is a producer, then he signs onto the misogynistic, sexist mindset that helps ruin the show.

All in all. I hate the show for many many many reasons. But simply put:it is never funny. Host is not natural or meant for pseudo stand up. Writing, if it exists, is damn poor. Co- hosts and guests do not help, but make it worse. No one is funny. Only this show can take a funny net clip unfunny. Cannot believe it is still on the air. They put a skateboarder to do Tosh's job. What would you expect if you put Tosh in a skating tourney? A bloody mess. Just like this show.

This has got to be the worst show since here comes honey Boo boo! Lets just forget for a second That its a poorly done shameless rippoff. even segments in the show have been copied, not even trying to be original. Just a lazily done joke of a show. The black dude has no stage persona, might as well be chairy from pee wees playhouse. The blond just oozes "that I've gotten by on my looks all my life so I've never had any actual talent". And rob.....holy sh*t! I remember someone once telling me how funny rob n big was, but if i see that person again, I'm gonna slap him for being so stupid. And worst of all, its on constantly on mtv, i loved mtv..25 years ago when it was actually music television and they played videos all day. Now its just reality crap n teenage drama shows, bad enough they made snookie famous. But this has gone to far!! does anyone still watch MTV??? I tried watching this show but its just god awful, his delivery sucks, his timing is non existent. There's a reason they hire professional comedians for these jobs and rob drydick is clearly NOT!!! stick to skate boarding or whatever useless thing you did made you rich. And leave the comedy to people who are actually funny.

My god the clips are actually pretty good, but you just can't concentrate on the show with that cackling hyena in the background. . The clips are not too bad but the show is a complete rip off. . Would rather watch paint dry then watch this program. I would however watch it if I could mute the sound because then I would have to listen to that woman. Are my 10 lines up yet? Not sure why we have to type 10 lines for something that is so terrible I could say what I thought in about 5 words. Maybe 10 if you pushed me for a truthful answer. Nope still 2 lines to go. Don't watch this show unless you mute the sound. hoping they replace that woman soon. Are we nearly their yet?

This show is my guilty pleasure. Not such a fan of all the clips where people get smashed up but I like the clips where people do weird and unusual things, especially the Russian ones. I think Rob's commentary is funny and I like Chanel and Steel O not sure why everyone is hating on them. They just seem like easy going people like you would have laughing with you in your living room watching a show. I think Chanel is pretty and nice. Why does she have to come up with brilliant commentary this show is not rocket science. I could not get through one episode of Tosh.O. Smug and gross.The guests are contemporary and I catch up with whats in lately.

I only ever watched MTV for the Andy Milonakis show, Crank Yankers, Celebrity deathmatch, and some music videos here and there. As time went on, it seems they've been trying to make MTV more like all the other networks with their reality shows and web comedies. While I would LOVE to rant on about 16 and pregnant, this review is more towards an unfunny douche, a stoner black dude who gets paid to do nothing, and a bimbo who makes strangling a hyena sound like a better alternative than listening to her annoying cackle every five seconds an unfunny pun is forced.

That being said, I used to assume Rob did meth before each show since he tends to move around the set and laugh awkwardly to his own jokes when I first gave this show a shot. Now I'm just convinced he's naturally incapable of acting like a human. I never thought much of him even around the time of Rob & Big, and seeing how butt-hurt he got over that Tosh.O skit portraying him and his dream factory as a pedophile stunt further lowered my opinion on him. At least Tosh can stand still on set and knows how to deliver a joke! What can you do, Dydrek, than dance around the stage like you're at a party with no music? In addition, hosts like Tosh and Hardwick don't need two useless "Co-host"(if you can honestly consider them that) to back him up in his crusade to review clips that went through Tosh, and before that Chris Hardwick(until G4s closure of course). Anything Dydrek shows in an episode is essentially watered-down, and is only ruined more because we got that bimbo we all know as "Chanel West Coast". Why is she even here? Other than tits and a plastic face, she has no real personality other than to laugh every time Rob looks at her as if on-cue, she is to laugh like every joke is funny. Hell, he could fart in her face and look at her, and she'd laugh like she was being tickled roughly. Then comes "Steelo", some dude who just sits on a computer during the show. Hey buddy? You're not at your aunt's house trying to ignore your family by spending the time online checking your facebook status and playing Garry's mod! Close your damn laptop and actually act like you're on camera for once! Basically, you'd find more entertainment in assembling furniture for your living room than these two and Dydrek combined.

The skits and clips are one of my biggest problems next to talentless hacks who fill in what time MTV doesn't use for Pregnant southern girls with flaky boyfriends or werewolves(The latter is a bit biased, as I find werewolves and vampires overused by now). Anything I see here, I already watched not only Tosh or Web soup, but other people on Youtube who reviewed in a much more comedic and better-executed manner.

As I conclude this review, I want to compare this show to the bargain bin of DVDs you find while in line at the dollar store. You know not all of them are great, but it's cheap and you think you'll give it a chance. Then you realize it was the worst dollar you spent in your life, and regret not having given that dollar to hungry kids in Africa. The only difference is that this is one dollar you won't be getting back through a refund. Why MTV kept this show in their lineup for so long is beyond me. I guess anything is funnier when you're stoned? Maybe MTV is struggling more than Adam Sandler in trying to stay relevant in today's world?

watched an episode. laughed at the online stupid-people-hurting-themselves clips. over the next 20min or so became more and more irate and annoyed at the unattractive wanna be slim shady host making useless obvious comments that really do take away from my enjoyment of the clips. Can't believe this inbred gets to be a host. The shtick with the 2 other hosts is dull an quickly becomes predictable - black guy tries to make funny comments. black people are supposed to be funny. he's not. blonde girl is there to laugh and say 'oh my god' after every single clip shown, like her reaction is the only one in the studios' that matters. she doesn't say much, so i can't comment on her wittiness or intelligence. camera never pans on REAL reactions from the audience. Tosh.0 works because Daniel is actually witty, funny, unoriginal, and unpredictable.

It would be better if they just showed the online clips and not have the hosts at all.

The show has funny videos. Sure. But the hosts are absolutely horrid.

You could honestly find any of the videos funnier by looking them up yourself, instead of listening to the host. His comments aren't funny or witty at all. He states the absolute obvious.

Not to mention the girl, who just laughs and says maybe two intelligent words the whole episode.

I honestly think it's a complete waste of time. You'd be better off surfing you-tube.

It's a shame they found a poor host and writers for something with good potential. Ray William Johnson, a you-tube star who get famous off of reviewing viral videos, has more funnier, creative, and ORIGINAL work.

I have been watching this show for a long time...along with all Robs other shows.... How in the hell can you not crack up and these crazy people doing these funny and stupid things.... When I'm in a bad mood or having a hard day...I'll turn this show on and know that I'll end up laughing my ass off....come on REALLY!! I am a 63 year old woman and look forward to seeing more and more of the wonderful crazy world of Rob and his friends and guests....showing all these funny videos...that oh my god....MAKE ME LAUGH!!!

The host, Rob, is trying so hard to be a young punk with his wardrobe and vocabulary. He just looks like your dad trying to be cool, the only thing is....he really thinks he is cool and he really dresses like that!?!? That's just a start, his limited vocabulary is drab and useless at best.

At first I thought this whole show was a clip from another funny show. When I realized "Ridiculousness" was actually this idiot standing in-front of a large TV screen commenting on others' clips, I switched the channel to Tosh.0 for the real thing.

Why do we continue to have to subject ourselves to these poor TV shows? There are so many talented people out there, with great Ideas and great talent. Too bad people are such sheep and want to watch the same garbage over and over again.

I really don't understand what's with the bad comments. Some people just try to find something to complain about. If you don't like stupid videos of stupid people getting a good old fashioned face plant... Then don't watch it. But what I like the most about it, is how Rob and his guests are making fun of it. The format is really compressed and it makes the job.

About tosh.0, yes it is different, but I prefer ridiculousness because I can see a lots of videos in a short laps of time, as for tosh, sometimes he is bragging about a video for 10 minutes.

And for those who don't like Channel, well it's your right, but a lot of people like her laugh and how she sometimes say funny things (and yes she is Rob's good friend too, that helps to be on the show) so she is, and that's it.

My conclusion; every type of programs are different, if you don't like it, don't watch it, period.

After reading the reviews on this page, I felt obligated to help its' rating a bit. It's perceivable that the ones writing the reviews (may) have only watched the first season, but it gets better.

I, myself, found it uncomfortable to watch at first, but as the seasons go on, the hosts really start to warm up to their positions (Steelo - Tech and smarts, Chanel - Looks and dumb "one-liners" and Rob for the charisma and celebrity)

Anyone bored with the Tosh's self-importance, homophobic jokes and disturbing (at times, disgusting) segments, will find a good home with Ridiculousness. Despite having several negative reviews, I personally can't wait to enjoy their new episodes, plus, it's PG so you don't have to sit on the stop button in front of your children.

The hosts of this show have gotten much more comfortable with their roles on the show and therefore, over the past 4 seasons, I've found myself more and more into their witty banter. The awkward and spaced-out comments have almost vanished completely, making this show very enjoyable to watch.

In a nutshell, funny, family-friendly and enjoyable. Watch a few episodes before you judge this one.

There are way too many online clip shows such as Web Soup and Tosh.O to make Ridiculousness enjoyable or funny.

The show had potential but the end result was bad. With Rob Dyrdek, you'd think that he'd have some interesting co hosts like Big Black or Drama but instead, he has the least funniest people for the position. Chanel, who brings out stereotypes, and Sterling who has the personality of rocks. The guests are bad as well. They aren't funny and provide awful commentary. Even Big Black, who is known for creating comedy in any situation, has his downfall in Ridiculousness. In the end, the show isn't funny, although it tries hard to, in which it shows. Rob, just stick to Fantasy Factory.

A copy of a copy, this show continues to defy all logic and remain on TV. The audio/visual equivalent of a weeklong stomach flu packed into a 30 minute segment.

I'm addicted to the funny interpretation of Rob Dyrdek, he is very sharp and have a witty comments about the video and situations. He is the perfect host to this kind of TV show.

Ridiculousness is very original and Hysterical, i always think that it is so short and i can watch it for hours. sometimes even the guests are funny, and that's even better because Rob needs that reactions to be even more witty.

All of the videos on Ridiculousness are ruined by Rob's terrible commentary. He's not a comedian, nor funny. Ever. I could just watch these videos on YouTube in a playlist. Sure, it would be harder, but I'd chose that over this. I have never seen a show less entertaining. I would watch Shake It Up over this. (Mostly because of the main characters' sexiness) This show shouldn't exist. I thought Tosh was bad. This is an awful version of an average show, Tosh.0. I would pick any show on the air over this. This really, really, really, really, really sucks. After this, I've learned not to take good shows, like It's Always Sunny, Arrested Development, and South Park for granted. Rob, stick at what you're best at: not being famous.

I am surprised how many reviews have trashed this show. If you have such stringent "standards" for low brow comedy, you obviously watch too much of it. I start cracking up even when I hear the theme song ("Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah..."). Rob's nimble dancing around on the keyboard implies the viewer's own keystrokes by which s/he "pulls up" such videos on youtube, a nice comment on how social media voyeurism has confounded the lines between public and private. His guests, themselves all "professional" "daredevils," both mock and promote their trade when enjoying these videos. Loosen up, people. If you want classy, read Chaucer. On second thought...

OK well today my younger brother made me sit down and watch this show and because I always love new shows to watch, I didn't hesitate. About 5 minutes in, I was immediately horrified at the lack of comedy considering that is what the whole show is based around. I enjoy shows that make fun of internet videos but this just takes the word 'lame' to a whole new low.

Let me begin with Rob Dyrdek. He shouldn't be aloud on television. He is seriously lacking in comedic ability and throughout the show, he adds unnecessary comments that have no relation to the video going on behind him.

And now for the co-hosts. The cackling blonde girl just made me want to get up and punch the TV. All she does is sit there and annoyingly laugh at stupid things! To be honest the show wouldn't be half bad if the black guy was the host because he is the funniest out of the three. But once again, the blonde girl and the black guy serves no purpose except to remind Rob Dyrdek 'how funny he is'.

Every episode they have a new guest which sits on the couch and awkwardly laughs at stupid videos that I have seen a thousand times on other similar shows. At least other shows like this such as Tosh.0 and The soup actually make funny comments about the clips!

Please don't waste your time on this show because you will be very quickly jumping onto IMDb and telling the world about how you feel about this show.

I really love this show! Sure there are some more similar shows out there, but this one is really funny and addictive.

It is not another boring TV show with compilations of videos but the opposite. The format is very attractive, dividing selected videos found online in the internet into small and creative categories. They select hilarious clips from the internet where people do stupid things and hurt themselves or do some other funny stuff.

Rob is great and does a five star job as the host, his regular co-hosts complete the set perfectly, and also there are special guests that add very positive things to the show. By the way, Rob's strange dance before they cut to commercials is great!

If you like to have a good time and watch funny stuff, you have got to watch this. It's just one of those great and easy to watch shows. I can't take my eyes of the screen when this is on. I love it. I rate it 9 out of 10 stars.

This show would honestly be like 5x better if the host's girlfriend was gone. Her laugh makes me want to cut my self. Honestly I don't cut, but when I head her laugh I REALLY want to. So yeah, this show is worse than lighting yourself on fire for 5 minutes before you die. This show doesn't even have clips as good a Tosh.O or the quality comedy that you get with Daniel Tosh. The way that they make comments is not timed well and they are not witty at all they are just rather annoying. Honestly the absolute WORST part is that annoying hoe's laugh. So if you are a personal who enjoying a good laugh like me, then DO NOT watch this show you will be surprised with how bad the show is, and they have let it stay on the air for more than a week. Also I honestly felt really bad for the girl's boyfriend, but he knows how annoying she is, just cut her lose! DON'T WATCH THIS SHOW! Make better use of your time by going to the dentist or go get a colonoscopy.

I honestly do not understand how ANYBODY over the age of 10 could find this show funny. A show like this needs a comedian as the host, not a former skateboarder/businessman who's in his 40s and dresses like a 17 year-old. The clips that they show are basically just drunk people falling on their face or their behind, and then sometimes Rob will ask his friend "Steelo" to "replay" the clip in slow motion (something that could easily be done in post- production), and pauses it right before the fall, and then Rob points out something we can already see, and then he makes some lame joke about it. But the worst part of the show, by far, is Chanel West Coast. She sits on the stage and just laughs at the clips, she doesn't even talk! She adds NOTHING to the show.

Perhaps the show is okay in moderation, but the worst part about the show is the fact that MTV plays it almost 24/7. Nearly every day during the week, MTV will show a marathon for 6+ hours, and that's being lenient. Sometimes, they show it for over 12 hours. Meanwhile, they push their other shows to the side by showing zero reruns during the week, and for what reason? Who can possibly stand 10 hours of people being clumsy?

I don't know what to say - I'm 62 yrs old - and this is my absolute guiltiest pleasure - it's S O wrong to watch - and sometimes so HARD to watch - but I do anyway. The three regulars are oftentimes more fun to watch than the guest star - and Chanel's laugh just cracks me UP! When Dyrdek loses it - it's always so funny to see what tickles his funnybone - and the fella that runs the films is always right on the money. (sorry- I can't think of his name) - I can't think of any of the situations that I enjoy the most - but I D O admit to having to look away when I see something uber-painful on its way! I hope it's on for a long, long time to come.

The blond haired girl Chelsea sounds like woody wood pecker when she laughs!!! That's why I cant watch it! she is so annoying! Get rid of her so you can have a show man! I mean really all I think about when I try to watch it is woody wood pecker. I hate it when something they are showing is trying to be funny all I think about is that bird from looney toones it makes me want to pull my ears off!!! Eww really where do you find people to be on your show? The only time I watch the show is when she is not on there. Could that be her real laugh? If not then tone it down some or put a muzzle over her mouth. Like I said she is so annoying
