Kenny vs. Spenny

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!

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.

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).

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.

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.
