I have to say that I really admire Rob Dyrdek as a person, and his shows on MTV are awesome.

The reason I really like his shows is because they don't revolve around drama, but they're still really good. They're mostly feel-good shows where Rob just has fun, and often gives back to the community.

He has done a lot of outreach to underprivileged youth, and built many public skateparks in LA, giving kids a safe place to skate where they're not breaking any laws.

The city of LA even gave him his own holiday in recognition of his activism. In honor of this, Rob and his crew went around LA giving money away and asking everyone to be kind to one another. Everybody love everybody. I'm telling you, they were giving out balloons to people that had $100 bills in them. It was awesome.

So I just wanted to share this with you guys. I highly recommend watching any of his shows (Rob & Big is the best). Anyone else like Dyrdek's productions?

I'm not a fan of him on Ridiculousness. Seems like MTV tried too hard to make him a comedian. I do think he's funny in Fantasy Factory, but it doesn't translate well to Ridiculousness.

And yeah, he seems like a pretty cool dude in real life.

Yeah, Ridiculousness is at the bottom of the list. At least the new season is better. The episode with Floyd Mayweather was actually pretty good. They're doing a little better.

Please tell me you watched Rob & Big. I really like FF too, but R&B is the best of the best.

Seems like a nice guy but he's a bit crazy. He believes in aliens. He also believe they are using him as a tool to promote alien races.

He also rides for Alien Workshop.

It's all part of the way he thinks. He really thinks his association and eventual ownership of Alien Workshop was destiny from the aliens controlling and using him his whole life.

I find it all vaguely interesting. But, in the end, it's not much different than any other religion.

I don't think he believes it. He just knew it would be funny on the show.

I love Rob & Big and FF has become one of my favorite shows now that Big is back in the fold. Rob seems like a great person and really seems to care about doing something good for others. He doesn't seem to be doing it just for looks or for publicity.

Rob & Big was the shizz. I used to watch it all the time. FF was alright, I never watched it enough to get into it. I didn't even know there were other shows.

FF got better over time. Newer episodes are cracking me up.

Ridiculousness is just one of those shows that pulls videos from the internet a la Tosh.0. That show can be hit and miss. Sometimes, it's painful to see them try to be funny, sometimes it's hilarious.

Love Dyrdek. He reminds me of one of my close HS buddies who has since passed. That being said, Ridiculousness does not play to his strengths.

Taking Chanel West Coast off Ridiculousness would help. She's not pretty, and she brings absolutely nothing to the show.

She's definitely the weakest link, but she's dramatically better in the new season.


But hey, if you prefer to only watch dudes, by all means...

If you're going to be on a tv show like that, you better be funny and articulate or drop dead gorgeous. She is neither.

I've tried to watch Ridiculousness but it seems like a bad Tosh.O rip off and that hole on there drives me crazy.
