    I would make one that followed struggling stand-up comedians who were convinced that they would make it big, but were really just mildly funny at their very best. It would show how they put everything on the line for their dream: their job, family relationships, marriage, mortgage payments so they could focus on the art of funny.

    It really wouldn't be a funny show at all, but since it was technically about comedy it would be in the "dramedy" genre. It would follow these few comedians all of the time, and it would probably be painful to watch. It would realistically get cancelled after one season but it would be the realest reality to hit tv.

    Uh oh, someone just got his pro-version platinum package gift.

     

    I would like to take this moment to thank Sean and Hayes for being so generous. I know that it probably cost so much to make it snow this hard in Virginia, but you knew how much I enjoyed that "pow" joke and you just wanted to make a fan smile. I won't demean the 8" you sent me by trying to take a measly picture of it (you said not to even mention it in the forums but I just had to because I am just so so happy).

     

    I know that you both have to maintain your professional image over at Earwolf, but in my heart, I will forever refer your show as Hollywood Handfriendbook (still working on the name).

    Yeah, look at us snow freaks in here just bonding away haha. Not many people have the passion for shredding like we do. Clemmy thrashes with a snowboard, Chansy slaloms the slopes, Frej-hey-hey straight up walks for miles in the woods, and me tearing it UP on my cafeteria tray at a local hill.

     

    Somebody notify Snap! because we all just started singing "I got the powder!"

    I'd love to hear the following on here:

     

    Jon Glaser

    Brendon Walsh

    Rob Huebel

    Chelsea Peretti

    Jon Hamm

    Jenny Slate

    Martin Scorsese

     

    I agree that Jonny G would be hilarious on here, as well as Robby, as well as Chelz.

     

    However, I disagree about Marty because he just doesn't have enough star power. This is Hollywood Handbook, not Hollywood Handout.

    @Jakealan:

    at 1:03:15 he mentions that after googling for some facts that he realized that he was wrong, and that Dahmer was actually a cannibal. What he adds is that he thought that Dahmer realized the attention that he was getting for it and assumed the role more so than he may have needed to because he liked the media attention. So I guess the dispute was reduced to the degree of cannibalism, and if he played into the sensationalism of it rather than keeping it 100% factual.

    The lady who spilled the coffee on herself was an old lady and really got burned badly; the pictures of the burns were horrific. She wasn't suing to get rich, just for medical expenses and them to not have 200 degree hot coffee.

    It was another thing that became a national joke but they made it seem like she was a lady who just wanted to make a quick buck. It is scary that people never learn the facts about these things until years later :-/

    But it was really cool for sure that they gave their fans the opportunity to do that.

     

    My only hope is that I too, can have an opportunity to also call in and be too nervous to talk. I've listened to most of the RsS episodes and it did seem like a fun thing to do.

     

    Maybe even if it were just for the people who brought the pro-version that week.

    I WAS AT THE FUNHOUSE... IN SEATLLE... I PLAYED BASKETBALL AGAINST THREE HEROIN ADDICTS. I BALLED THE FUCK OUT. SWISH CHEESE. TEARDROPS. BUCKETS.

     

    You have to use rain puns in Seattle if you want to talk about ballin. Your "I made it rain" and the "my defense was like an oppressive fog over the court" and the like. That would probably convey your meaning more effectively.

    Yea, I mean...while it would be kind of stupid to record regular people in stressful environments, it would be way more awesome then casting people who are essentially characters (Jersey Shore) to interact with one another.

    I mean, at first it seemed like reality shows were about reflecting reality for people, but then it began projecting it (the 325467 hook-ups).

    As you mentioned the intelligence of the Seattle cast, that still represented the time when the shows were trying to cast people who were kind of odd, and not caricatures.

     

    To be honest, for no reason at all, my favorite reality show was Joe Millionaire, because it was the first time that I was consciously aware of a show lying to the contestants. It was also the first time that I saw a BJ get captioned with *slurps* on television.

     

    It seems cliché to be nostalgic of the "golden days," but I think that they were more about capturing lightening in a bottle rather than manufacturing it :(

    Nm, no one will ever see this post. :(

     

    False, I obviously check this forum for no relevant reason, and I have accepted this about myself.

     

    I honestly haven't watched reality since the Real World/Road Rules Challenge days. But before that I am most knowledgeable in the Seattle season of Real World when that dude David (I think) slapped a girl before she went home. Veronica also spoke at a community college that I went to and she was super lame.

     

    I would go into how I don't understand how reality tv was able to start parading subcultures as a way to breathe new life into its fading glory, but you probably won't read this.... nah, you probz will :)

    HugLife,

     

    Don't you think it's a little cute that they're trying sooo hard to be good at rapping? It's hilarious. Also, I get the feeling that expecting non-white people to be in a Scandinavian rap video is a high expectation...

     

    I counted 2 (since it is a loose rule that brown people always keep an eye out for other brownies ((you have to be brown to use that term))) in that video. I mean, the have Bloods and Crips in Norway (I did just imply that they were probz brown). I just figured that some of the authentic gangsterness over there would diffuse across the borders from time to time.

     

    Freja, I kind of need you to weigh in on this one for authenticity. What is the cultural landscape out there?
