Why Can't I Be You? (2006– )
1/10
One UNREAL and SHALLOW p.o.s. . . . with a message???
27 May 2006
I have to give it the benefit of the doubt... it is entertaining, SOMEWHAT! But by the first five or six or seven minutes or so, it'll hit you... This show is very shallow, and, not only that, but very bland in genre (duh!... it's from MTV!). Despite its one-dimensional facade, somewheres hidden inside it is something very humane (not kidding). Someone wants to be someone else... TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN INNER BEING. From what I saw from the show, the contestant really earned some life points and learned how to become more confident. Although, that does remain hidden throughout the show because the show is approached as a way to affront "geeks, nerds, and dweebs" or some other "MTV Generation-al", stereotypical, character similar to that. The show tries to be funny... without succeeding. It's entertaining in a way that most MTV shows are entertaining, they claim they're "reality", but its most evident that these shows are scripted. I wouldn't watch this unless you're a complete absent-minded and shallow person much like the ones who created this show. PASS!!!

Yo Momma (2006– )
6/10
Entertaining, but most of the jokes are used and worn-out
27 April 2006
This show is OK, but how good is OK nowadays??? Yeah, it's entertaining to see jokers battle each other with insults vying for... A THOUSAND DOLLARS (oh wow) and "bragging rights"... but most of them say really old and used jokes... I swear to God someone said, "Yo momma's so old, she fart dust," which has to be one of the oldest. This show has a good concept, but what are the black guy and the other dude for??? See, I don't even know their names... Wilmer Valderrama with his "OOOH-WEE!" can be funny, but ends up sometimes being just as lame as some of the trash-talkers' jokes. The best thing about "Yo Momma" is that every once in a while you get a "choker," the person that tells the most horrible jokes and end up being one themselves. Another plus is the investigating of the houses of the opposing trash-talkers that win in their first rounds. Wilmer takes an opponent and looks through his or her adversary's house and find things for material for the final round. "Yo Momma" is a show to watch when you are bored... and a good show to stop on when you're flipping through the channels, but unless you're a budding comedian, this show isn't TiVo-worthy.
