                                                         Jackass and Rob Dyrdek's Ridiculousness


  Jackass and Rob Dyrdek's Ridiculousness are reality television that focus on performing stunts to make the audience laugh. Both shows have similarities and differences, but overall the shows are comedy. The show Jackass and Rob Dyrdek's Ridiculousness aired on MTV, which gained a lot of viewers. Both shows show realism because in Ridiculousness and Jackass the stunts are taped.
  
   Rob Dyrdek is the host of his show Ridiculousness, and he also have his friends that were the cast of his previous shows as his co-host, which is; Sterling Brim and Chanel West Coast. This show is very similar to the show, " America's Funniest Home Videos." Rob Dyrdek's have an audience where he stands in front of them next to a big screen that shows clips of people performing crazy and funny stunts. The other two co-host sits on the couch and just laugh the whole time. This can become quite boring; a man standing next to a big screen television showing people acting ridiculous, while the other two co-host are sitting on the couch just laughing. I believe there is no connection what so ever and this show should not be on television. The only thing I like about this show is there are famous people that come on the show, however they come on there just to laugh as well. Most of the time I hear Chanel annoying laugh while watching the show. I feel like Rob Dyrdek could have added some creativity so it wouldn't be so much like, " American Funniest Home Videos". He needs more of a connection with the audience, so they won't just sit there and watch something they could have watched at home. Furthermore, most of the videos are not funny, personally people getting hurt in weird ways do not amuse me.

However, Jackass catches my attention. There is a huge cast that actually perform stunts themselves in order to grab the audience attention. These guys are actually because they do crazy stunts to make people laugh and they also do the unexpected. One will never know what the cast have under their sleeves which makes it interesting. To name a few of the cast members there is; Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O and much more. The fact that the cast members are professionals, when they hurt themselves it funny because the audience know that they have everything in control. When they perform stunts, one can tell that they are actually having fun doing it. Jackass has more of a storyline, where Bam has a father who he always play tricks on. However, one thing that I can say is about this show is it can be a little too gross. For example, Steve-O snorts a gold fish up his nose to make it come out of his mouth and he had to make himself throw up in order for the gold fish to come out of his mouth, DISGUSTING!!! However, this show was very creative and we know its real because of the video cameras in the show.
