MTV is nothing but Ridiculousness anymore
Dude just watches all the same stupid fail videos we all do, talks shit about the them with his co-workers, and gets paid tens of millions a year to do so. The show is essentially a mixture of Youtubing, stand-up comedy, and podcasting. It's probably pretty fun to do. The disgusting part is the profits. A 90% top marginal tax rate like the US had in the '50s and '60s would make the show more palatable. But then who knows if Rob would still want to do it. No great loss if not.

So it's not just easy work its also fast[close]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridiculousness_(TV_series)28 seasons, I'd guess an average of 35 episodes a season, equates to 980 episodes or 49 filming days.1 season even has 58 episodeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If2tOxy4E70Can't blame him for hustling Viacom hard where his TV shows were a money printing machine that he later used to buy back AWS / Habitat from the VC company.

that show seems so 2008, how does it still exist?

Well I have like 9 Andy Anderson flight decks
Read a super interesting article how once people start making a lot of money it becomes addicting. Wish I had that link. I find rob pretty fascinating and funny still til this day. I thought the recent 9 club interview was great. It’s inspiring to see a skater thrive especially later on in life.
Just casually designing some Jay Z and Metallica Ferrari's MTV check must've been big this monthhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cp4w1LbOG3j/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Very surprised it’s still on tbh, but what the fuck would I know cunts must watch it, and the syndication stuff too…wow that’s some serious cash Good for him, he’s done real well for himself that’s sick
I love when people bring up world hunger. It makes everything meaningless."That guy is double parked.""Who cares? There are people starving to death! Besides, how does that affect you? Does it lessen the joy of parking?

There should be some shame in how selfish people are with their money when they have enough for generations. Other than that, good for him, glad he got to pay to pretend to have the job of car designer.

I take everything I said back. The board hit me in the nuts for the first time ever today, because i was wearing these shits.
Anyone who says they haven't watched 5 straight hours of Ridiculousness hungover as fuck on a Sunday is a goddamned liar.
