Judicial duty Appearing relatively recently on Amazon’s FreeVee platform, the once-dormant reality TV format will be revived by its hands. The Joe Schmo Show At the beginning of the millennium, he completed his work on a network called Spike. We’re referring to reality TV shows that are based entirely — or almost entirely — on high-octane comedy. Or, you know, the higher concept of something like that Impractical jokesIt was as low a thought as the joke of saying “no” that irritated Borat so much.

But what he created Judicial duty He didn’t seem to have a particularly central bone in his body. The boys are on Impractical jokes Just making each other look stupid. Ashton Kutcher was doing the same to his famous friends. Punk’dAnd (if you buy the argument that it’s a comedy show) John Quiñones What do you do? It’s exactly the same thing, but it’s about embarrassment instead of laughter. Judicial duty It was all about trying to make fun of a guy who wanted to be nice and friendly to everyone he met, effectively making that impossible, making him and everyone around him seem even more lovable.

As we wrote at the timeIt was like seeing a change in the general level of decency among the people we put on television. They are no strangers to pranking and messing around like dead pigs in a high school classroom! Now they are the people we respect and relate to! It is clear from Judicial dutySuccess (either through creativity or viral meme-y power) is like the first thing that’s more brutal Joe Schmo show It will never work today.

So it’s a bit surprising. They are returning The Joe Schmo Show. And not only are they bringing it back, but it’s pre-formed—that is, the idea of ​​a revival has already been presented. Judicial duty and the WGA strike—and the trailer promises it’s “coming soon.” The new one Joe Schmo It focuses on a man named Ben who thinks he is Big brother– The style is called “Everybody Lives At Home” reality competition The goatwhen in reality all the other contestants are actors and all the challenges he competes in are rigged in some way.

By design, that goes without saying. Judicial duty It was his own one-man-surrounded-actor who had to watch bad things happen and react to them instead of being exposed to bad things happening to him by the bad guys around him. And that’s good. Clearly, there is an appetite for that, even if that could spoil our argument Judicial duty It was a reflection of a new and beautiful modern society.

But why now? These kinds of prank shows aren’t the only ones with these two, but during their upcoming tenure on ABC. Prank panel A series in which Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gaborey Sidibe were teased in spectacular fashion earlier this year. Ghostbusters– Inspirational business. That scene follows Punk’d/Practical Jokers/Betty White’s Off Their Rockers The model, but the idea is that normal people move their friend/family to Knoxville, Andre and Sidibe as someone to be pranked, then prank that person (which it is). It looks the most decentIf anyone cares to follow that up).

This is the obvious explanation for why these scenes occur. Impractical jokes It’s the most popular show in television history (or at least it’s part of that conversation), and you can see the dollar signs on some of the executives when she says, “I have such an idea.” Also, the reality TV genre has been around long enough now that the world is ready to make fun of it again. When it was fresh and new, The Joe Schmo Show It seems like a smart way to both embrace the genre and gently kick it in the shin. Now reality TV is everywhere (Literally in some cases) because it is relatively cheap and easy to produce and easy to operate (for the time being) the industry is reduced to it and it made him know a little bit back and hit a little something on a few with the reality, it is the real reality, but they are really extensive.

It’s probably an interesting coincidence that this all coincides with the writers’ strike and could become reality television. That being said, these prank shows are basically the “comedy” version of reality TV (a “drama” variation, like Bravo’s Family Show ), and these two other shows can find such popular audiences. Judicial duty Done, this could be more whether the strike continues or not—but it could be more if the strike continues. Then again, you need a cast for a comedy show where everyone is an actor except for one guy, and it’s going to be hard to find actors. If SAG-AFTRA is on strike.

Maybe they can make prank shows without writers and actors, but we’re not sure how. What about when they talk about fallout reels like those YouTube channels without any host or commentary? In fact, we’re sorry to suggest that now.
