By far the most unique reality show ever produced, Kenny vs Spenny stands out in the realm of television comedy.

Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice, two lifelong "best friends," battle in weekly competitions (spanning 88 episodes) with the loser having to face a humiliating act chosen by the winner. This aired on the Showcase network in Canada but had difficulty finding a lasting home in the U. S., where both the Gameshow Network and Comedy Central dropped it after a single season.

Kenny's relentless cheating, lying, and strategic genius often lead him to victory in about 70% of the competitions, turning Spenny's humiliations into a near-weekly spectacle. A must-see for anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation for offbeat comedy.

My personal favorites include "First One to Talk Loses," "Who Can Wear a Dead Octopus on Their Head the Longest?," "Who Is Funnier?," "Who Can Smoke More Weed?," and "Who Can Commit More Crime?". However, starting with the first season is a great idea for newcomers as you can witness Kenny gradually breaking Spenny's spirit throughout the series.

Basically, Kenny vs Spenny is about two best friends with radically differing personalities competing against each other for the glory of winning. And for the loser? Humiliation.

This show is without a doubt the most entertaining character study I have ever seen. Kenny is an over-the-top, narcissistic strategist, while Spenny is the neurotic, helpless do-gooder aiming to be the fair, moral competitor to highlight Kenny's wrongdoings. The clash of their personalities absolutely makes this show. Watching them bicker, fight, and drive each other crazy is endlessly entertaining.

Kenny almost always cheats, but credit must be given to Spenny for withstanding the torment week after week and for genuinely trying to compete. Some of Kenny's devious plans are just mind-blowing. From the seemingly tame ("Who Is the Better Actor?") to the downright bizarre ("Who Can Wear a Dead Octopus on Their Head the Longest?"), the competitions are always engaging.

Kenny vs Spenny is immature, stupid, and awesome. I've watched every single episode and love them all. Kenny is something of a real-life Eric Cartman, a comedic evil genius, while Spenny is his polar opposite, making you wonder how they ended up as 'best friends'. It's not really fair how Kenny is always set on destroying Spenny, so when Spenny actually wins, you can't help but feel happy for him. The show might sometimes seem scripted, but their lives are likely as weird and crazy as portrayed.

It isn't for everyone, but if you can find humor in the gross, immature, and sometimes offensive, then this show is perfect for you. I consider it one of the best comedy television series ever aired and absolutely the best reality show. It's original, clever, and most importantly, hilarious. The chemistry between Kenny and Spenny is a match made in heaven (or maybe hell). Kenny is devious, gross, and clever. Spenny is gullible, angry, and honest (most of the time). They are a comic duo without equal.

I've been watching this show repeatedly for years. Kenny vs Spenny has episodes later in the series where ideas spawned much earlier come to fruition in brilliantly absurd ways. The comedic seeds sown early on deliver uproarious laughter years later.

For fans of comedy, Kenny vs Spenny is a must-watch. Start with a few episodes from season one, then buckle up for a wild ride through some of the most innovative and entertaining comedy you'll ever experience. Enjoy!

Two life long friends compete to embarrass each other intro says it all two friends compete in strange odd competitions who can 69 the longest and who can stay awake the longest you want some laughs watch this

By far the most entertaining reality show ever produced.

Kenny and Spenny, two lifelong "best friends", battled in weekly competitions (spanning 87 episodes) with the loser having to do an act of humiliation of the winner's choosing. This aired on the Showcase network in Canada for six seasons but was never able to find a home in the U.S. as the Gameshow Network and Comedy Central each bumped it after one season.

Kenny cheats, lies and simply outwits Spenny to emerge victorious in an outstanding 70% of these competitions, resulting in Spenny's televised humiliations becoming a near weekly event. A MUST SEE for anyone with a sense of humor.

My personal favorites include "First One To Talk Loses", "Who Can Sell More Bibles?", "Who Is Funnier?", "Who does She Like Better?" and "Who Can Commit More Crime?", However the first season is a good starting point for any newcomers to the show as you can watch Kenny slowly break Spennys spirit throughout the duration of the series.

Basically Kenny VS Spenny is about two best friends, each with radically differing personalities, who compete against each other, as the show states, for the Glory of winning. And what about the loser? HUMILIATION.

This show is without a doubt the most entertaining character study I have ever seen. Kenny is an over-the-top, narcissistic strategist, while Spenny is the neurotic, helpless do-gooder, who's main goal is to be the fair, moral competitor - so as to show the wrong-doings of his "best friend" Kenny. The personalities of the two absolutely MAKE this show for me. I enjoy nothing more than watching these two bicker, fight and basically drive each other crazy.

Kenny almost always cheats, but credit must be given to Spenny, not only for withstanding this torment week after week but for actually trying. Some of Kenny's devious plans are just mind-blowing. From the seemingly tame ("who is the better actor?"), to the downright stupid ("who can wear a dead octopus on their heads the longest?"), the competitions are endlessly engaging.

All I have to say is that this show is really great, and I can't speak highly enough about it. I just hope it doesn't get canned to make way for some cliché sitcom.

Great Show!

There is something amazing about this series. Kenny and Spenny seem to capture the essence of competition in their half-hour show. It is a brilliant production and very entertaining. Each guy has a totally contrasting personality, which makes for hilarious interaction. No one in their right mind would want to miss a show like this. I look forward to many more episodes in the future.

Kenny Vs. Spenny is immature,stupid and awesome. I've watched every single episode and I love them all. Kenny is something of a real life Eric Cartman (one of the most evil geniuses ever) and Spenny is so the opposite that you wonder how they ended up as 'best friends'. Kenny is so intent on destroying Spenny all the time, it's not really even fair, so when Spenny actually wins you feel kind of happy for him. The only thing that's sometimes bad about the show is that it feels as if the episodes are scripted, when it's supposed to be spontaneous. Saying that though-their lives are probably as weird and crazy as it makes them out to be. After all, Kenny went to a war and Spenny did acid. The thing that's best about Kenny Vs. Spenny is that whether they're tying themselves to goats or making disabled people like them, it's ALWAYS funny. Recommend it.

Kenny Vs. Spenny is a Canadian reality/game show based television series about two childhood friends, with completely different personalities who battle against each other in Outragious competitions to see who is better at a task, such as wearing dead octopuses on there heads longer, to See who is a better Drag Queen to even seeing how long one of them can keep a poop in there diaper longer. Why? the opening theme explains it all. Glory for the winner. Humiliation for the Loser. Kenny Hotz is a manipulating Evil diabolical Genius. the "villain" of the show per-say. he will do everything in his power to win, even cheating. Spenny is a Paranoid, yet good natured "good guy" of the show and often plays by the rules. The humiliations involve a number of embarrassing stunts performed on national TV such as the Human Bidet, the dragged out prostitute on the corner, giving an old guy a sponge bath to eating a booger. The show airs Mondays at 9pm on Showcase and I recommend it to anyone who has a sense of humor.

I don't know what it's the appeal of this show that it makes so entertaining up to the point it's a guilty pleasure to watch it every single time on Showtime. Maybe the appeal of this show lays on his simple Darwinian premise to see who is the strongest one Kenny or Spenny? But also the premise of the show is related to how we competed with our friends when we were kids and maybe that's the main reason why Kenny Vs Spenny is so fun to watch because it can bring memories to anyone who is watching these two friends compete each other every week to see how is the best. I give a ten to this show because it's original and both characters are sincere and honest with their intentions.

This show is a lot of fun to watch, and the episodes are not too long. I like the competitions, and there are lots of interesting things that happen in each episode. I kind of wish that Kenny didn't cheat as much though. Sometimes Kenny does things that make me a bit upset, rather than funny, because they are so incredibly evil towards Spenny. It would be fun sometimes, to actually see Kenny manage to do what the competition is about, instead of cheating himself to a victory.

With that said, there are loads of fun moments in this show, and I recommend it to everyone who likes to see people do dumb things and get humiliated.

I've been watching this show, again and again, for at least 13 years. Sometimes back to back, for weeks at a time. Unlike a lot of other shows, Kenny vs Spenny has episodes later in the series, where ideas spawned much earlier on, sometimes in commentary track episodes. To fans, these easter eggs are golden nuggets. We get to watch comedy seeds be sewn into existence, before years later they deliver some of the most absurdly insane, yet genius level caliber, of comedy, that pays off with uproarious laughter, time and time again.

For years, Freddy Got Fingered has remained my favorite comedy film. It stands at the top of the mountain. 7 Days In Hell, Orgazmo, Spaceballs, How High, and Scary Movie 3, would be some others that are all upper echelon too. I have to say, Kenny vs Spenny would be my favorite comedy TV show ever made. It exists on that same Tom Green - Freddy Got Fingered stratosphere level of pure unadulterated comedy genius. To give you an idea of how off the wall Kenny vs Spenny seems, even to Spenny, it can be summed up with a quote from Spenny while he was talking to Kenny, "How do you even think of these things? Honestly, you could put me in a think tank for 6 years and I wouldn't come up with eating some guy's pubes."

Kenny vs Spenny won't be for everyone. I'm fine with that. In fact, in one of the episodes, before a humiliation, Kenny addresses that very fact, that what was about to happen would be 'shocking to some old lady flicking the channels'. I would normally recommend you start with this episode or that episode, however, if you're a fan of comedy, you'll come to watch it so many times, and some of the jokes in later seasons, truly pay off in ways you can't even begin to imagine, if you've watched the earlier seasons.

I would recommend Kenny vs Spenny to anyone interested in comedy. My advice to them would be start with a few episodes in season one, then buckle up, buckaroo, because you're about to experience comedy like you never knew existed. Enjoy!

This show kicks some hardcore ass. It's been compared to Odd Couple meets Survivor, and that's probably the easiest way to describe it. Two friends, Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice compete against each other in competitions to see who can stand the longest, who can stay awake the longest, who can make a better woman, who can put on a better concert, who do girls like more, etc. Kenny, the evil genius, and Spenny, the one with moral integrity, are absolutely hilarious. This show is a Tuesday afternoon staple. It kicks ass!!

The interplay between the friends is fantastic. The competitions are amazing, the humiliations at the end merely icing on the cake.

Kenny is a diabolical mastermind, with Spenny being driven to neurosis as he tries to win fair and square. The juxtaposition of the two is really very special.

I have never laughed so hard at a T. V. show before. Even after rewatching all the episodes, they still get hearty belly laughs out of me. Kenny creates some amazing characters during the show that take on lives of their own.

Do yourself a huge favor, and watch Kenny Vs. Spenny.

It really is genuinely great.

It's been couple of years since the series stopped, even though there's rumors about a KvS-film or a season 7, even so i can't stop watching this show. When time passes i feel the urge to watch this show again. What makes it brilliant is that Spenny and Kenny are complete opposites and the show wouldn't be the same. Their relationship evolves through out the series, mostly Spenny becomes more cynical, paranoid and sometimes he even compromises his principles. Kenny is the mastermind of the show, he's the one who mostly comes up with the competition and methods how to ''Go around the rules'' or even methods to cheat. If you start watching the show, notice that there are some faked scenes, most of the time by Kenny to mess with Spennys mind, but the competitions are real and Kenny and Spenny are really what they are in the show.

It isn't for everyone, but if you can find humor in the sometimes gross, immature, and offensive, then this show is perfect for you. I consider it to be one of the best comedy television series that has ever aired, and absolutely the best reality show.

It is original, it is clever and most importantly it is hilarious.

The chemistry between the two is a match made in heaven. (Or maybe hell) Kenny is devious, gross and clever. Spenny is gullible, angry and honest (most of the time). They are a comic duo that will never have an equal.

I can watch these episodes over and over again and still be brought to tears with laughter. Thank you Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice for making me laugh for so many years.

A unique show that is arguably one of the funniest shows ever made, 2 legends.

I'm disappointed this show is over and probably never will have more seasons, unless it's on a risqué forum due to the nature and content of the humour. Too many snowflakes would get bent outta shape. For those who same this is all scripted, it's fake etc reality show. Here's an eye opener for u, ALL REALITY TV IS SCRIPTED!! Anyways, this humour isn't for everyone, especially if h have a stick up it a**. People need to stop picking apart tv and enjoy it for what it's meant to do, ENTERTAIN!! I love this series soo much that when a roommate stole my collection and they were outta print, I spent $50+ on eBay for a season because it's worth it!! Get the seasons when u can cuz I'm pretty sure the next thing that will be 'cancelled' is comedy!!

I realize this show is a reality joke that is meant to be funny... however what bothers me is that Kenny cheats in every competition. While this makes for funny TV (sometimes) after 2 or 3 episodes it becomes completely expected by the viewer. So why does Spencer not realize Kenny is cheating in every competition? Honestly, if Kenny did not cheat I would be surprised. So how can all of the competitions be taken seriously? Kenny has staged each one to his advantage and it takes away from the funny random reality show it should be. It is almost a complete insult to viewers to expect us to think that Spencer does not expect Kenny to cheat every single episode.

I usually hate reality shows with a passion, but kenny vs spenny opened my eyes to.....at least this show. It's a show about two roommates/ best friends who do some random competition they come up with. They vary from impressing old people to racing rats. Spenny is a clean freak who's all about the rules and spending as much money as possible. Kenny's all about bending the rules to limit where there's cracks, he's a masterful evil hilarious genius. Spenny's abit paranoid and scared of everything and Kenny being a true friend exposes it as much as possible. Both have weaknesses and there exposed in each new episode. If there competitions weren't funny enough (which always have me rolling on the floor) they have a humiliation at the end of each episode, which is too funny to put into words!It's a Canadian show, I know it' filmed in Toronto, so I don't know if the united states can watch it. BUT, if your a Canadian it's on show case after trailer park boys on Sunday or befoure Six Feet Under. Definitely watch this show it's the best Canadian show out there, since the red green show is ending (Corner Gas is #2).

I'm not gonna rate the show itself much, besides giving it a 5 for the mediocre-ness. Mediocre humor and entertainment.

The purpose of this review is to let people know how incredibly dumb they are for mistaking this to be real. Of course the traits of the Kenny and Spenny characters are similar to each of them in real life, but this is still scripted. Most likely the acting is improvised along with the shooting of the episodes, but the process is written. It's obvious, so stop saying "Greatest reality-show ever". It's not...

And before you start screaming "It R 2 Real!!" remember how Kenny steals an X-ray machine in one of the episodes... Nope... Not going to happen. The show would never air these clips or allow Kenny to steal one in the first place... They wouldn't allow Kenny to slip Spenny acid nor would they air the clip of Kenny buying the acid from a dealer. Retarded

This show doesn't get nearly enough credit. It's such a classic showcase of human nature. It's reality television without all the trend and cheap sales tactics, and it's believable. Spenny is adorable, sexy in the most vulnerable and raw way imaginable. He's downright masochistic and he's the kind of personality that you can't stop watching even as he runs himself into the ground in a naive attempt to be "the better person". Kenny is cruel,and shrewd in a way that makes the competitions not only unfair but also a guilty pleasure for the more sadistic audience. How they stay friends is beyond me, but it is so much fun to watch Spenny become so stressed that he finally blows up. Seeing the "nice guy" get pushed to the point of fury over the smallest things is entertaining. I love Spenny's fussy, anxious, angst ridden demeanor, there is something so enticing about it. Kenny is the perfect one to pair up with him too, because he is brutal enough to treat Spenny with merciless disrespect, and that's what makes it so appealing.
