Cattivissimi amici

I'm not usually one to fall for a simple laugh. But these four friends remind me so much of the guys I hang out with, I can't get enough. Off the wall, who can make who do the most zany public display of insanity. It cracks me up. These four guys, who really have been friends since grade school it turns out, challenge each other each week to see who is willing to do the most crazy embarrassing thing in public. Usually one of them has an earpiece while the other three friends are feeding them instructions. If the friend with the earpiece doesn't do what they tell him to, he loses that round. At the end of the show, whoever has the most losses, has to do something EXTREMELY embarrassing. I watched the 'best of' where they actually interviewed these guys and that's when I became a real fan, because it started out just the four of them doing this without a camera. Glad they started filming, because it's really funny.

These four longtime friends are hysterical. They think up clever (usually) stunts and then challenge each other, mostly on the streets of New York, to execute those stunts. Each is rated by the other three as to whether or not his assignment is successfully completed. The one with the most losses by the end of the show then must undergo one last humiliating stunt, again cooked up by his three buddies. It's a 'Candid Camera' with a twist. The hits far outweigh the misses. Unlike most tv comedies, this one produces numerous belly laughs. I once saw them filming in Washington Square Park.

I don't know how anyone cannot laugh along with these guys. I always feel like I'm in on the joke. They all have such awesome personalities and it's so funny to see them interact with the public. The reactions are always amusing.

The impromptu style beats anything rehearsed. Pure, natural comedy! Plus it gets me through my workouts. Sometimes I can't help but pause and watch intensely, only to collapse on the floor in laughter. This show is much more fun than your typical sit-com. So glad I came across it.

If you have a sense of humor, you will like this show.

I generally hate most of the things on truTV, I'm pretty sure that the majority of the population does but this show is different. It isn't like anything I've ever seen because although it has some "Jackass" aspects to it and some reality TV aspects to it, it is an entirely different show that never gets old. It's what you wish you could be doing with you're buddies rather than going to work, just messing with ordinary people and seeing how far you can take a joke with someone who doesn't know what is going on. It's hilarious and it only takes 15 minutes to get hooked for life. I turned on reruns of this show one day in a fraternity house and within 30 minutes the entire 30 person house was watching and laughing, that is how good this is, everybody who gives it a chance will love it, I guarantee it.

If I could give this show more than ten stars I would. I have watched this show from the very first episode and have laughed from beginning to end in every one of them. It is the funniest show I have seen in years. The cast is very likable and pull some great pranks on the people around them. They actually had a meet and greet with their fans in New York City last year. The fans were waiting in lines the stretched out the doors to meet the guys. They shook everyone of their fans hands and took pictures with everyone that came out to meet them. A great show and great group of guys. I have recommended this show to all my friends. Hope this stays on the television for years to come.
