Extreme Couponing (2011– )

Why?

[3/10 · 24 June 2011]

This has to be the most pointless TV series ever. I am completely confused as to why this show even exists! Seriously, this show is nothing more than watching people going grocery shopping, but the twist is that they use tons of coupons so that they don't have to pay. THAT'S THE PLOT! Seriously, these people are such cheapskates that they make themselves and their entire family suffer, along with the cashier at the store they are shopping at. Every SINGLE episode goes like this:People who practice this "Extreme Couponing" are introduced, and it shows them going successfully bringing a huge amount of groceries down to a low price. Then the next time we see them (or the next person on the show) something goes wrong and they have to spend 20 dollars more than if their calculations were correct. It is at this point that they get upset (I have yet to see somebody cry, though it wouldn't surprise me) and the audience is supposed to be upset and feel sorry for these unfortunate people. How are we supposed to feel sorry for them? They bought 800 dollars worth of food and are SHOCKED to pay 50 dollars when they wanted to pay 20. These people have problems and I'm not sure why this show is promoting this lifestyle as if it is "Livin the Fancy Life"!

World's Dumbest (2008–2014)

Great Show

[9/10 · 24 June 2011]

It's no secret that most of TruTV's shows are just "Extreme" versions of other cable shows. Really, they are pretty much the same show, and that is the only reason people bash them, because they are fans of the others. Now here's what I say: WHO CARES IF ITS A RIPOFF, ITS A REALITY SHOW!!! seriously, if it is a reality show, how can it be a true ripoff, as reality cannot rip off reality. Pawn Stars/Hardcore Pawn, Storage Wars/Storage Hunters, Americas Funniest Home Videos/It Hurts when I Laugh. This show is kinda like an "extreme" version of Americas Funnies Home Videos content wise, but watch a few episodes and you will realize it is actually a ripoff of one of my favorite shows: Mystery Science Theater 3000. Am I angry about this? NO! 1If its a TV show, why does it matter? You get to watch more of the same show rather than less. This show really is funny. Love it!

The Young Turks (2005– )

I love this show!

[10/10 · 28 May 2011]

Im only 13 years old, but I watch The Young Turks all the time. They do live shows on their websites and I believe on stickam, but they post all their episodes on you tube. There are many different hosts, but it is best when it is Cenk and Ana, because there is so much diversity. This show is VERY biased to liberals (even though the new host, Jacki, seems a little conservative) an I disagree with them on a lot of issues, the show I so entertaining that I have to give it a 10! They do plenty of "Weird but True" stories, and those are timeless and can be watched years after they first air. And for the stupid people that are on the show all the time, they straight up riff their stupid videos! No matter what your political views, yo will still love all the weird and crazy stories on the show. In conclusion, adding this to your you tube subscription box will keep you informed with quick news stories as well as hilariously entertaining stories!

Phelous & the Movies (2008– )

Funny!

[8/10 · 21 April 2011]

Phelous is a very funny show. He is a lot like the Cinema Snob but reviews a wider variety of films. He has dry humor that is hilarious and some of the riffing is on par win mst3k! My favorites include Troll 3, Army of Darkness, Santas Slay and Night of the Living Dead 3D! One thing I think could be improved is that, like the Nostalgia critic, some of the videos drag on too much. Ironically, his review of the film "Birdemic" drags on the most yet that was still one of the best from him. One thing that sets him apart from other reviewers is that his reviews are also kinda like Youtube Poop! Like in the Case 39 review with the random Billy Mays sound clip! Overall, I really like this show.

The Cinema Snob (2007– )

Amazing Series!

[10/10 · 3 April 2011]

There is little to find fault with this great internet series. Brad Jones is an excellent actor and pulls off the role perfectly. The whole series is around an art film critic who tries to find the art in exploitation movies. He truly review the absolute WORST films ever created. Some films he has reviewed are things like "Evil Come, Evil Go" Horror of the Zombies" "Alucarda" "War of the Wizards" "Tales from the Quaded Zone" and many other trash films. While he trashes these films with no remorse while swearing revenge by giving the movie at least as much pain as they cause him, as you watch enough episodes, you will notice a secret love for these films, bad as they may be, from our beloved snob. He is even funnier than the Angry video game Nerd. I can relate, because even hough I am only 13, I love bad movies. Overall, this is an excellent show. Ten out of ten.

PS: Brad,, if you are reading, please review the Killer Tomatoe movies, and "Captive" (aka Two) from 1974. I will rejoice if you do!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)

Review from a 13 year old

[1/10 · 12 January 2011]

SPOILER: Background:I am a 13 year old, which means Im in the target audience in this film. I also have seen some of the worst films ever, like "Star Worms 2", "Monster A GoGo", and "Night of the Lepus". When I heard hey were making a DOAWK movie, I thought it would be fun! Boy, was I wrong! This is one of the un-funniest films ever! Not sure if this is worse than Vampires Suck, but it makes Disaster Movie look like Airplane. While this film follows the books, it feels entirely different. While the books gave a funny story that 13 and 14 year old's can relate to, this film only serves to exploit middle school like 70's blaxploitation movies did to blacks.Why does every character look like a 7 year old? Ansewer: So they could get younger kids into the theater while still using the title to pander to young teens. I was offended by the way they portray middle school! "The Cheese Touch"? Kids at my school play similar games, note that those kids are in 2nd Grade! And even they don't break friendships over that stupid game! The whole film is about the main character who"Will do anything to be famous!" I assume that that is the only reason he took this role. This kid is so clearly without talent that I cringe at all the lines he has here! If real kids acted like that, the suicide rate int his country alone would go up by at least 60%! And there is no suspense, or drama throughout the whole movie. I don't want to give away spoilers, but lets just say nothing is resolved, clearly hoping for a sequel or 7! In conclusion, do not fall for this films tricky marketing. You will only be disappointed! One star.

Pocket Ninjas (1997 Video)

Bad On Purpose!

[10/10 · 10 July 2009]

Many,Many people say that Troll 2 is the funniest bad movie Ever. But I Disagree.Pocket Ninjas Takes that crown.The plot follows Three Kids (There Not The Three Ninjas) Who go to the same karate class.Wait,Before I go on,I must mention That Almost EVERYONE in the movie is from The movie"Future War"And That was on mst3k.Why didn't they show this one,too.Anyway,It turns out that drug attics spilled toxic wast in a bay,and a whole bunch of fish were poisined.Cubby Khan was the man(or,10 year old boy)Behind it. So The kids and There master prepare to fight him. But Cubby Khan Sends A part of his Street Gang ,Led By the fearless Cobra Khan,to harass the citizens.They Know that will draw he attention of The White Dragon. But He has trained his 3 ninjas(TM) well.This results in some awesome fight scenes with the kids patrolling the streets(They Did know how to fight,and I could see them winning against a grown man in real life)Cobra Khan himself,however ,is too strong for the students.He attacks the circus(With one of the funniest lines in the movie,A clown blows up a bunch of balloons and says "Hey,Think I should quit smoking") Cobra Khan is too slow,and the white dragon defeats him.The climactic battle takes place in cyber space(!),Between the youngest good ninja and Cubby Khan. All in all,If you are a fan of bad movies,or martial arts movies,Check This out.Its very funny,and the kids are really talented.Edit:I Must point out,the vurtua dfight ripps soud effecte from atari games
