Con

The show is supposed to be about cons, but if you know anything about legitimate conmen, you know Skyler Stone ain't even close to being one. Instead of conning people for big payoffs, he develops these absurdly intricate plans to get such "great" stuff as his apartment cleaned and a free meal. With the time and effort he puts into these things he could just as easily (or more easily for that matter)do them the normal way.

It's also worth noting that the disclaimers before and after the show sort of take away from any sense of realism that would be present. They flash them so quick you barely get a chance to read, but it does mention that some scenes are staged and that some parties have been compensated for their appearances.

Some "Con man" Stone is. Don't waste your time and hopefully it'll be cancelled.

Con is a stupid show, I can't believe it is even rated at 3 out of 10 here on IMDb.com. First of all for starters the host is truly stupid, he could just have a job and pay for his fast food and soda pops and do like half the work he does with his "amazing cons" to get these things for free, like fishing around through the garbage to get a cheeseburger receipt then calling the head company to complain about the cheeseburger just so he can get a free replacement cheeseburger and drive to the restaurant and pick it up? Wow you just did an hour of work, worked up your cellphone bill probably, wasted gas and most importantly wasted all of that time, plus you had to root around through a disgusting big barrel of garbage, all to get one free cheeseburger from McDonald's that is only worth like one dollar. You're an idiot. He also had empty soda cups in a rack in his trunk so that he could go to restaurants and rip them off for free refills, again this is disgusting he's only saving maybe a dollar plus these little cardboard cups get all gross from soda pop syrup and also start to fall apart, on top of that you risk walking into a restaurant and being called out for obviously being some idiot who hasn't bought anything there and is just coming in with his own cup, of course that would make this show interesting and funny instead of just stupid and pointless and completely not funny at all. Con sucks.

You know, I love the prospect of conning honest, hard-working people out of their services just as much as the next guy, but Con is just boring. It seems like Skyler Stone always has to work up a ridiculously circuitous plan to achieve the simplest of ends.

The circuitous planning wouldn't be bad if it were applied to grand schemes, but more often than not the cons on Con are so small in scope that I just can't bring myself to give a damn.

In one episode Skyler created a convoluted plan to get models to believe he's a photographer and clean his living room... oh, burn! And all it took was 3 days of rigorous planning and preparation! Con would be great if the cast would just pull a great con, but as it is it's just boring.

Con is a terrible show. Why are they running it again? When I came on here to complain about it I figured it was just a bad new show and now I find out that it was on in like 2005? Maybe that helps explain why it seems old and unpolished but why on earth are they rerunning this again when judging by how bad the show obviously is and all the negative comments and votes here people obviously didn't like it so why are they rerunning this again? they should bring back new episodes or reruns of flight of the conchords or something else instead, or old kids in the hall or Monty python or sctv, comedy channel here in Canada just can't seem to get it together, all their shows suck.

Anyone who seriously believes this crap is real is just plain stupid. Even if it was, it would still suck. It's a bunch of sleazy trash, plain and simple.

Skyler Stone isn't a genuine con man. He's just a smug moron who somehow managed to get his own show. Gah...I can't stand seeing that stupid smirk on his face. The only people he's fooling are the 60 IQ audience.

Unfortunately we may see a small wave of idiot kids who try to imitate this garbage and think they're uber slick con men.

It's unbelievable how much crap gets on the comedy network nowadays. I thought they reached their lowest point with You Bet your ass". How wrong I was. Hell, I'd almost rather watch Girls Will be Girls...

Oh wait...no I wouldn't. But seriously, don't bother with this pathetic excuse for a show.
