    Stupid Science

    It was indeed stupid.

    Check! There certainly was science. Check! Seemed lacking in fiction Check! So Stupid Science. Check! I found the stupidity in no way diminished the science.

    Richards hair seemed nice.

    Seemed a likable chap.

    Well enough dressed.

    Reasonable persona.

    Just tall enough.

    Well, I think thats it then.

    Not so stupid science for everyone

    Well, I am really tired of these "funny" videos shown everywhere BUT this makes sense because they tell why these odd things happen. So they teach people in a good manner to really understand why not to do something stupid. This also teaches you how to do it right, if you really want to learn something. Moreover I'm sure that masses of people, who are not interested in science, are watching this because of the host and even if they do not follow every scientific nuance, they unconsciously receive important information which you need to survive well. And when there is the one and only Richard Hammond, people do watch this.

    Great and unique!

    'Science of Stupid' is a show you haven't seen before and more than that, one that you cannot forget. Funny, well structured, clever (despite of its title) are the perfect words - or keywords, if you wish - to describe this show.

    Richard Hammond's previous experience speaks for itself not only because he does a great job as a host, but also because of his way of interacting with the viewer. However, it is not only him who makes 'Science of Stupid' entertaining but also the concept behind it, along with the screenplay, which all of them combined give the show a touch of fun.

    Since the very first episode you are familiarized with what the concept tries and succeeds to show: the science behind wrong moves. Some might find the failures quite brutal while others just as fun as watching fail videos on Youtube. Nonetheless, we've all done stupid things without knowing what made them stupid and for this reason only, 'Science of Stupid' is the answer to everything. The visual effects and cinematography whenever a stunt is shown help you better understand the physics behind every move, warning at the same time future contenders for the Darwin Awards reconsider their decisions.

    Entertains, kinda educates but becomes repetitive

    Richard and Dallas narrate a show about doing Stupid things on Social media and then analysing the science behind the stupidity. And you know if the show had proper metric conversions instead of sometimes using metric and mostly using imperial measurements this show could be shown during science classes for the high school kids in metric countries as education. Whats better than reading a science text book is watching a real life examples of science in action, if only it had the metric conversions Dallas sometimes alternates between imperial and metric conversions which would confuse the students in Australia. Im watching this show part of the Nat Geo Australia channel and sometimes i feel that feeling ive seen the video clips too many times before, like a week ago and yes there is allot repetitive film clips when Dallas is narrating and i don't think the series order is being followed its all random episodes and you can pick the first 2 episodes the Dallas had done as he looks quite nervous taking over Richards role. In summary Science of stupid Its Funny home video show, meets the best of social media videos, meets social media commentary meets science i wish it had metric conversions cause it could be shown at science class so for that i give the show 7/10.

    worse that MTV.

    IT is disgusting what the formerly educational/science channels have fallen to. This is not just like the show Jacka**...it is far WORSE. The cast/producers of the MTV show had a hard and fast rule. NO user submissions would ever be shown on the air. None would even be watched so there was nothing to be gained by doing dangerous stunts. The Science of Stupid, or shows like Outrageous Acts of Science on The Science Channel, of course SAY "Don't try this at home." but the announcer may as well be winking while saying it, and follow it up with "But if you DO...you may just see yourself on this show some day!" So unlike MTV, these channels are encouraging stupid kids (who generally need no additional encouragement to be idiots) to endanger their lives with the hopes of getting their 15 minutes of fame. Totally irresponsible.
