Ridiculousness (TV series)
Updated: 12/10/2025, 10:50:11 AM Wikipedia source
Ridiculousness is an American comedy clip show that began airing on August 29, 2011 on MTV and ended airing on October 12, 2025. It was hosted by Rob Dyrdek and co-hosted by Sterling "Steelo" Brim, Chanel West Coast (seasons 1–30) and Lauren "Lolo" Wood (seasons 31–48). Ridiculousness strictly showcased various viral videos from the Internet, usually involving failed do-it-yourself attempts at stunts, to which Dyrdek and his panelists add mockery and reaction. The producers of the series and MTV refused any submitted videos for the show for the safety of their viewers (as mentioned in disclaimers at the beginning and end of each episode), instead licensing already-existing content.
