Con

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.

I never thought watching TV would make me want to end my own life. But this show has made me want to do exactly that. The skyler stone guy isn't funny, he's obnoxious and a tool, I would rather watch mind of mencia then this show. The show is obviously staged as well. Comedy central must have ran out of mad TV reruns so they needed to fill the space with some new crap. They did a pretty good job; they found the worst crap thats available. For some reason they thought this show is more funny then Stella. Stella was the best show ever along with strangers with candy and kids in the hall. They take those shoes off and put this show on. Con is a wonderful example of the dumbing down of America.

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.

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.

Come on everyone cons people, if you are not you are dumb. Con is one of the only real shows on TV these days, if you look at all the reality show out there. Everyone on these shows are dress up and all dialed in to the way they look.

Skyler Stone is as real as it gets, he is just a hard working man in showbiz.

Give him some credit he thought up this show and made a demo DVD all on his own with his own money, would you do that? I think Con is the best reality show out there right now and you will see more of Skyler on other shows and movies in the near future.
