Ridiculousness - TV show

I was channel surfing when I saw this..I think it was on the MTV channel.

Host was Mark Drybek, I think, young white guy wearing a hat and moving his hands and body in the stupid "hip hop" manner.

Three guests - one a woman who was dressed normally, and thus overshadowed by the two guys. One a black guy with a black cloth cap over his head and curly black hair showing from underneath - which he fluffed. Several times!  As if fluffing your hair makes you look cool. Looks stupid when women do it, looks stupider when guys do it.

Then there was a white guy, wearing a ballcap, black sunglasses, and long hair past his shoulders. Looked like an idiot also. (Sunglasses are to be worn outdoors to protect one's eyes from the sun. Why wear them indoors when you can't see? Well, to look "cool" although how wearing black sunglasses inside makes you look cool rather than stupid I do not know.)

Anyway, what these guys were doing were sitting on a couch, while Drybeck or whatever his name was would announce some video in that condescending way that hosts of these shows have, and then they would show some idiot trying to do some stunt that goes wrong - from trying to stand up on your motorcycle and ride it like a surfboard, but of course falling off, to hitting the wrong lever on a 4-wheeler going around a race course and ramming a wall, to some groom picking up his bride to give her a piggy back ride, but falling over.

And the guests - at least the two guys, were laughing uproariously, as if these people making total fools of themselves were the funniest things in the world.

Dumbing down America.
