Adam Ruins Everything

I love watching shows on the Discovery and Science channel. Shows like Brain Games and The Universe. Adam Ruins Everything is incredibly entertaining and informative. It questions irrational social norms while breaking the 4th wall and adding very edgy comedy. As of this review (10-3-2015) only one episode has premiered and it was great! It pointed out how many activities and "good deeds" we perform as a society are really just manipulations from advertisers from our past and have no rational basis. After watching the first episode I already have a different outlook on our culture and what I thought was the proper way to live life. It reminded me of the book "The De-Textbook" which is a great book if you enjoy learning the history behind why we do what we do in an entertaining way.

If you like this show I suggest you check out some of his web shorts on College Humor on YouTube.

I really hope this show takes off.

This show is super interesting and totally shows what is wrong with our society and how can we work towards improving it. The show is funny along with being very informative ,I liked this series a lot very few TV series like this one also most of them are on discovery channel . If anyone likes TV series based on informative stuff then this is a must watch for them.This series is based on the college humors mini web series with the same name Adam Ruins Everything which also is good but you know short so not that fun.This show definitely will be successful as not only he is giving information but he is calling an expert on the field of the topic to his show to support the fact he is telling us.A very good show hope it runs for a long time and remains as interesting as it is this season

It's a decent show. It's not perfect. I'm middle of the road when it comes to politics, in fact, I HATE politics!

--Please look at how almost ALL the bad reviews are coming from conservative people.--

For pure, entertainment, this show is great. Maybe not everything is 100% Factual, as always, look for yourself, using more than one source.

Have a great day! :-)

This show immediately reminds me of Pen & Teller's Bullshit, without the vulgarity, gratuitous nudity, and full on ranting from Penn (it was a brilliant show, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it).

As of the time of this review, they're 10 episodes into the first season, and I hope they continue on for several seasons more. It's actually fantastic to see Adam and most of the actors from College Humour come off of YouTube and actually get to be on TV. The show's premise is debunking long standing myths with references to studies and actual research. Yes, it's biased. No, it's not always right. It is, however, very well done and very entertaining.

It would be nice if it was hour episodes instead of 1/2 hour ones (20 minutes or so without the commercials)...it might give them a chance to go into a bit deeper detail about some of the things they talk about.

I love this show not only because its entertaining but because it does what I think a lot of people and shows are afraid to do: debunk social norms and show the insanity to where a lot of our American customs originated. If you see anything negative about this show its because someone was offended by something they discussed on the show and explained how silly the practice of that particular belief was/is. For example: The show explains how we've been brainwashed as a society/culture to believe diamonds are the greatest way to show a woman you love but in fact they are "intrinsically worthless".

This show teaches people to ask themselves: "why do we do this? who started this custom and why is it social norm now?" Its truly fascinating. Its well worth the watch. The host/show backs up all his facts by displaying source on the screen so that you may look into it yourself.

The host comes off a little condescending at first but if you think about it its almost impossible to explain something to someone when they thought they knew "how" "why" & "where/when" in the first place. I am more than happy to admit that I did NOT know most of the things they teach on the show! That is why I love watching though....I just keep learning so much and you will too!!!
