tonight on ridiculousness... t.j. lavin!

Y'all know who T.J. Lavin is, right? Good, because he's of no relation to B.J. from B.J. and the Bear, although that would have been really cool, too. (Incidentally, for those of you who do not know T.J. but at least now know he's not B.J., he's a professional BMXer and host of the MTV's The Challenge.) What's most important is the concept of "Shirtless Manplay" and how it's not necessarily a bad thing. Sure, anything can be taken the wrong way at the right time, but as long as a camera is on it's always the right thing no matter how wrong the time. (I'd like to thank the James Cameron Conundrum Foundation for sponsoring that last sentence—without your looped out tutelage I'd be nowhere in this so called life!) This all-new episode of Ridiculousness airs tonight on the MTV at 10/9 C.

tonight on ridiculousness... ridiculousness!

You know how Coke likes to run around and swing with Cherry, Zero, and Diet but there's always the classic stand alone to come back to? Well, here's the original Ridiculousness formula. No celebrity guests. No added frills. Just straight ridiculousness. But my oh my can a screengrab be awkward—so awkward. I mean, I get it, over-partying, yeah, never a good facial photo can result from that, but just a few frames to the left or right might have made that one bit of difference. Kind of like how one's judgment works—or doesn't work—when under the influence of imaginary super powers and/or staggeringly diminshed mental capacity. This all-new episode of Ridiculousness airs tonight at 10/9 C on the MTV.

tonight on ridiculousness... the bella twins!

What's in a name? Well, let's break it down hard—so hard. Tonight's special guest stars on an all-new episode of Ridiculousness at 10/9 C on the MTV are "WWE Twin Divas" Brie Bella and Nikki Bella, a/k/a The Bella Twins, a/k/a Brianna Monique Garcia-Colace and Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, which fully reflects their Mexican-American heritage. Beyond the mat name games, it's time to watch some dimes drop hard—so hard.

tonight on ridiculousness... big cat!

Slip sliding a cliché. Sorry, but lyrically speaking it just had to be spaken. Or spoken. But seriously, why hasn't anyone produced, packaged, and sold pre-cooked Spicken in a can yet? Surely there must be a credible edible market in this world for cheaply processed chickenloaf. Especially one with an inordinately high sodium content and gelatinous mystery bonus residue that could possibly used as a lubricant but in only the worst case imaginable scenarios. In the meantime, at least we will always have the Spotted Dick to fall back on. Tonight's all-new episode of Ridiculousness with Rob Dyrdek, Chanel West Coast, Steelo Brim and guest star Big Cat airs at 10/9 C on the MTV.

tonight on ridiculousness... chris cole!

One of the joys of being a photographer is attempting to take a group photo when there are multiple cameras in the room. And it's only really gotten worse since everyone, their mother, and even the red-headed stepchild with bruises about its face and shoulder areas now has a camera-enabled phone device. So, inevitably, the people who pose, who more often than not all have varying levels of ADHD, look every which way but loose and lose the perfect shot for all involved. It's sad, because you think four would be easily manageable—anything over six is pure eyeball ridiculousness—but such is the nutty photographic state of life in the digital world. Professional skateboarder Chris Cole joins Rob Dyrdek, Chanel West Coast, and Steelo Brim on an all-new Ridiculousness tonight at 9/10pm C on the MTV.

tonight on ridiculousness... vaughn gittin, jr.

Now I don't know much about the world of drifting aside from Ken Block's gymkhana wizardry—bodily fluids and holes that seep them are more up my back alley—but I did once have a boss, Steve Rocco, that jumped his 1994 Range Rover Defender off a very large dirt mound, caught a substantial amount of air, and then blew out the suspension on the vehicle (and his spine) on the 100-percent flat fucking landing. I only remember and mention this now, because whoever that good ole boy in the incredibly flying truck clip was, well, hell, I gotta imagine he was rebuilt from the floor up after being tore up on that sheer amount of shock and awesome. This all-new episode of Ridiculousness airs tonight at 10/9 C on the MTV.

tonight on ridiculousness... kat graham!

Women's Rights! How's that for a left field, one liner throwback from the stickery days of jackassworld.rip? A lesser known one, I'm sure, as "Suck It" tended to be the phrase du jour for almost any and every occasion then. Well, that and "Not Now," which proved equally versatile yet never made it to adhesive infamy. ("Get With The Program" was another popular quick hitter, but that one was mostly reserved for conflict resolution within the office.) Lest I unearth any further nostalgic verbal detritus and/or off-the-cuff castaways from jackassworld.rip and bust a nutty ol' tear duct, just know that there is an all-new episode of Ridiculousness tonight on the MTV at 10/9 C, guest-starring Kat Graham.

tonight on ridiculousness... wiz khalifa!

I'm a big fan of juxtapose—which, now looking at the word in conjuction with a moniker like Wiz Khalifa, could almost be a rapper name, if it's not already (I'd have no clue if it was or wasn't without first running to Google with my pop-clueless tail between my legs)—and I guess the following is about as far and fair as you can get from the normal hip-hop/rap video fare in terms of window dressing/hoochie mamas. They've got nothing on Gloria, but then again who could even hold a candle to that nonagenarian flame? Ridiculousness airs tonight on the MTV at 10/9 C. Ten four, little buddies? Good, cuz I've got a rubber duck to go manipulate and manhandle.

tonight on ridiculousness... taco and tyler!

Once upon a time in Big Brother skateboard mag history, a rag-tag crew—consisting Tobin Yelland, Dave Carnie, Jeff Tremaine, Kendra Gaeta, and Earl Parker—all hit and caromed about the Pacific-Northwest trail in search of stories and photos, but Tremaine found more, much more, including a bruised tailbone! So the legend goes, our intrepid journalists and raconteurs went to a Melvins performance where Tremaine just so happened to find his way onstage. Bear in mind this was many, many moons before Tremaine was heralded as "The Emperor" and, as such, blessed with wondrous privileges not usually bestowed upon your average asshole. Back then he was simply just an asshole and, as such, faced the ungodly amount of obstacles that stand between "us" and "them" and any "fun" between. Random case in point being his getting ousted from a Guided By Voices show in West Hollywood, circa 1995, after ambling onstage and snagging a beer from Bob's personal onstage cooler, but I digress. This was the Melvins, a far heavier sound and hairier sort than GBV, and on this particular occasion Tremaine directed all his onstage antics and energy to merely jumping off in classic stage dive form. The problem was, however, that the crowd found religion, perceived him as Moses, and abruptly parted like the Red-fucking-Sea while he was mid-air. And so it came to pass that down, down, down he went, bouncing his dumbass off the concrete floor with all the grace of an anvil. Why am I even bothering to mention this? Tune into tonight's all-new episode of Ridiculousness with Tyler the Creator and Taco of Odd Future doing the guest-star couch craze at 10/9 C on the MTV.

tonight on ridiculousness... lil jon!

Odds are you're not like me and never wanted to be like me—I sure as shit do not have Michael Jordan's ups—so you probably already know the score with Lil Jon. That said, let's pretend I didn't just peek at his Wikipedia dossier to learn his real name is Jonathan Smith, he was born January 27, 1971, and he's an American Grammy Award winning rapper, music producer, entrepreneur, and international DJ. (Well, don't that just beat the crunk now!) Whatever, we all have our rocks to bear in life and mine has always been living beneath one of an unnaturally large proportion and weight when it comes to pop-culture. For better or worse, I was always drawn more to unpop-culture and its far seamier backwaters (I wouldn't exactly call John Waters a role model—it's hard to aspire to such great lows—but he certainly was a beacon of hope). Oddly, though, for all its kinks, this life pursuit of ill repute has circuitously lead me round the bend to the other side of the playing field ... kind of like it has for Mr. Waters, too, which might make for a most curious portrait of America were Norman Rockwell still alive and painting today. To that end, Ridiculousness premieres tonight on MTV at 10:00pm ET/PT.

P.S. Don't forget that whole promotional tweet brigade that will be going down before and during the premiere with Rob Dyrdek, Steelo, and Chanel. Details here.

the rest of ridiculousness and more on monday...

Oh, how I do so love a good more on, especially when it comes to the wide webbed world of wonders that find their way onto the firing line of Ridiculousness. So yes, as stated earlier, the rest of Season 2 returns on Monday, August 20, at 10/9 C on the MTV with Lil Jon guest-starring in pole position, but there's more, much more, especially when it comes to the even more tangled and socially networked woven web. Leading into the premiere that night, Rob Dyrdek, Steelo Brim, and Chanel will all be live-tweeting with fans, some of whom may just see some of their own tweets broadcast on air (provided, of course, they have the "Luck o' the Irish" as the Scottish say). Once the premiere starts, Dyrdek will then shift twears* and take over the @MTV account to engage with fans directly.

nitro circus explained by knoxville and tremaine

In case you've ever been confused by the differences between jackass and Nitro Circus, Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine are about to lay them out on the table in layman terms. Nitro Circus the 3D Movie is also about to lay it down hard—so hard—in theaters nationwide on August 8th (although, yes, there are a few privilged 'plexes that will be premiering the feature tonight on August 7th).

happy birthday to rob dyrdek!

I've long considered skateboarding to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon was just a few centuries off the mark in finding, but then again, what do you expect from a fellow named Ponce? This photo of Rob Dyrdek and Rick Howard*, though it looks like it could've been taken yesterday, was actually taken in 1997 on the first DC Eurosupertour that was documented in depth and comprised nearly an entire issue of Big Brother skateboard magazine from front to back. I always liked how Dyrdek looked like a li'l Benjamin Button situated next to Rick, who himself for some odd spatial reason here resembled a Canadian jolly green giant minus the whole green color scheme. Trip out. Happy Birthday, Rob!

tonight on ridiculousness... street bike tommy!

What makes Street Bike Tommy so awesome? Everything. He's a hero of the common man and they win every single time no matter how hard they may appear to lose. He first won my heart over when I watched him sail somewhat of a front-flip over Travis Pastrana's backyard foam pit to land how no man has ever wanted to land before. Amazing. And tonight, on an all-new episode of Ridiculousness at 10/9pm C on the MTV, he answers the very question I've been pondering ever since I first met the Nitro Circus crew but was totally afraid to ask: What the f' is a whiskey throttle?
