If you go to The Eric Barber on YT, he's got one for a lot of the kids and he's going through interviews with a bunch of the kids (now adults) from the show. Edit: Spelling (I really should proofread my comments...)
My sisters and I watched this show when it was on air and could NOT believe what we were seeing. Every episode was truly thrilling. I don't think another reality show can replicate the geniune madness of Kid Nation. Wait till they cover the season finale, Bros
I'd say Big Brother series especially the one in the states is the most insane reality show. The Challenge and than Bad Girls Club as well. Lol this show doesn't compare.
the kids playing with the bulls remind me of how on the real world hawaii, one cast member got completely shit faced on camera. she then got in a car, on camera and DROVE OFF. no one put down their camera or any producer tried to stop her. they just kept filming. what would have happened if one of those bulls gored those kids?!?!
The fiance was played by Debbie Allen and she is the sister of Phylicia Rashad who played Claire Huxtable on the Cosby Show. Debbie Allen also played the dance teacher in the original TV show, Fame. She's also a choreographer, btw.
Those kids thought they were being responsible for choosing the microwave over 40 pizzas, but really they goofed. A microwave would be good if there were 5 or 6 kids, but when there's that many kids, they aren't going to save any time by having a microwave. Really the only thing they could microwave would be those pizzas they turned down.
Huh? You said your opinion which is obviously fine but then you take a hard left with that microwave only being useful for " 5 or 6 kids". You clearly never grew up with a microwave or saw what these kids normally receive in food rations. Microwave was the smart way to go. You can cook a lot faster and more persistent with it. The only negative that it comes with is that you can only cook for so many people in one shot vs a big ass pan roasting over a camp fire .
@@andrettitalk9535 Yeah, that last sentence was my entire point. The microwave can only hold enough food to heat up rations for 2 people at a time. The big pots and pans can heat up food for all 40 people at once. So say you can microwave your food in 4 minutes. If you have 5-6 kids, that's 20-24 minutes which is still saving time. Once you are up to 40 kids that is 160 minutes, whille it would take about 30 minutes on the stove.
Why release this so late? You has your chance to corner the Kids Nation market but you waited for some reason and now there’s so many people that made videos about it
Please keep these coming! I'd never heard of this show before and every episode you guys put out makes me believe this whole this has to be a gag - but no, someone actually made this!? Unbelievable...
The idea was actually really good. The problem is the producers kept turning the reality into unreality. They tortured those poor kids. "Hey, we are just going to dump a bunch of trash here and have you take care of it."
Please keep this series up! Couldn’t think of a more relevant time to explore unsuspecting underdeveloped adolescents attempting to survive being restricted from modern society. It’s almost too ironic
He literally interviewed the worst kid who was the first to leave haha obviously had the most experience and was also pretty young so he can remember so much right?
They really should have chosen the pizza. I mean, what good is a single microwave for 50 kids? What are they planning on cooking in it? You know they just assumed it was the responsible choice.
@@MisterBigBlunts I have a good for nothing, deadbeat alcoholic old man, who, after his divorce, went into a total spiral. I'm talking giving up on acting like a human being guided by self-preservation levels. One day we cleaned his room and in the compartment, under the extensible bed, I've found a box of pizza underneath some covers that still had a half-eaten slice of pizza in it that by that time attracted bugs. I don't want to imagine how kids, hopelessly ill-prepared for the tasks of this show would do with pizza, especially after we've already seen them get high.
For most Americans who live in a first world country, this maybe the worst reality game show ever but, for those kids who lived in a third world country like the Philippines. Things like this actually happened like, those children who been abandoned or lost their parents or kids who lacks adult supervision does exist. This game show teaches kids to be responsible and tends to the needs of day to day living. These might be harsh but, that is the truth. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the reality of this cruel world.
I never watched this show when it aired but hearing about it now I REALLY hope that the kids find any sharp objects they can around the camp, use them to completely gang up on and overpower at least one adult like the host or a camera man, take them hostage and make demands for anything they want. THAT would suddenly make this the best reality TV ever.
Holy crap. I watch Chicago Fire and was hellbent sure that I had seen one of the more recent recurring actors before, but when I looked him up on IMDB, nothing I watched came up. Turns out it’s because I was looking at the Actor section, not the Self section. I did a double take when I saw that he was DK from Kid Nation.
Kid Nation really seems like a TV show that would exist as a recurring background joke in Arrested Development.
"Baby Buster? From Kid Nation?"
You win the comment!
"George Michael was in the desert, on a reality show Lucille had signed him up for, thinking it was the school's Model UN. "
and there would be some recurring misunderstanding like "kid nation" and "kidney stone" or something
Sounds like something Maeby would've came up with during her days as a studio executive.
We need a "Where are they now" for these kids
one of the kids did an AMA on reddit i think
If you go to The Eric Barber on YT, he's got one for a lot of the kids and he's going through interviews with a bunch of the kids (now adults) from the show.
Edit: Spelling (I really should proofread my comments...)
Two of the producers met there, married and now have 2 kids almost old enough to go on....so.....
Jontron did a interview with Jimmy
YT Sophia Wise, she talks about being on the show

@@andrettitalk9535 I mean Kid Nation is borderline big brother with children
@@andrettitalk9535 to be fair, this show was a walking lawsuit and child endangerment brought to entertainment
Taylor really taking that Marie Antoinette route in this one
Imagine Jared comparing each day as worst day that ever happened
I'm sure everyday is a bad one for Jared.
Oh wait... Wrong one, my b
Puts a new meaning to I wish I was Jared,19
I'll bet Zack Morris greenlit this show.
ZACH MORRIS IS TRASH
Would be dope if we got a kn is trash.. style series...
Jarid is trash. Cuz he bitchin already..
Is Greg Zacks causin?
And Cody was never seen or heard from again probably because he f***ing killed himself
The amount of cocaine that must have been used to greenlit and run this show must have been unbelievable.
So true
Yeah coke ideas usually make little sense after you finally get to sleep
@@RByrne then kid nation wouldn't be a coke idea because it's genius
Kids Nation was the BEST reality show ever made
best in terms of entertainment, but not morality 😂😭
@@fawkumean378 I agree with both of you 110% lmao
I came here after watching Jontron.
Yup
It's hard to hate since considering how it's both unique and real also legally and morally questionable
Glad the next episode dropped. I've really enjoyed this series. I look forward to the rest of the season.
Thank you!
@@FunnyOrDie Now just drop the pandering
Red Dead Redemption: Radio Disney Edition
This feels like some of the most American thing I ever saw
It is.
🤣🤣🤣
The world needed this right now. Plz don't make us wait 6 months for next one I love this shit lol
Thank you for your patience and support. We'll have a new episode for you in a few short years.
@@FunnyOrDie awe wtf!! Lmao
@@FunnyOrDie XD

what would have happened if one of those bulls gored those kids?!?!
I think that was Ruthie, if I'm not mistaking
Don't worry, all the parents signed those waivers saying the show wouldn't be responsible...
Jimmy was the smartest one on this show. He saw the signs before everyone else.
Ahh our patience paid off... Welp off you go, dont look at the comments. _.
Look at the comments.... *LOOK AT THEM!*
😆
.... now I wish this was the first comment I read
Please pump these out sooner. It drove me crazy.
Is this a remake of Lord of the flies wild west edition?
Yeah
I physically NEED this series to be given more resources/staff so it can come out sooner
Okay I love the these random names you give the host but 'The Frat Guy Who Smells Like Ham' had me on the floor for like 5 minutes. Just brilliant.
We've got 7 more episodes of this thing so send suggestions for more if ya got em!
@@FunnyOrDie Stereotypical white suburban history teacher
Funny Or Die 10 more actually. There’s 13 episodes in the series.
I'm sure in a interview 10, maybe 20 years from now, one of these kids will say, "Ritalin is a helluva drug!"
The recent resurgence in popularity of this show, a lot of the kids are now doing interviews as adults.
I'm so genuinely happy this is back I actually gasped.
You know, FOX tried something like this called Utopia. That show was even worse. At least this show was able to complete its scheduled runtime.
This is What Total Dramarama should have been
This would've been more interesting and possibly less catastrophic if it were done with kids in their late teens.
but then they'd be doing,,,,you know illegal stuff off camera
It’s a twister!
This episode should’ve been called Lord of the Pies 🍕
Fun fact I was going to be on this show before it got canceled
I'm skeptical, but I'm not sure if I feel happy or sad for you if true.
Still waiting for A Very Special Episode..
Here's a good way to reboot it: Good Times JJ. Finance who was hooked on drugs, and killed herself.
She didn't kill herself, she just ran away.
And she wasn’t a finance.
She was a fiancée.
@@JackMensahBonsu yeah, I just watched
The fiance was played by Debbie Allen and she is the sister of Phylicia Rashad who played Claire Huxtable on the Cosby Show. Debbie Allen also played the dance teacher in the original TV show, Fame. She's also a choreographer, btw.
OH NO TAYLOR YOUR GONNA GET CANCELLED!
There needs to be an extended cut that includes all the brawls Jared started.

I've adopted "deal with it" as part of my vocabulary

Yea they pump out plenty of other shit i dont watch on this chanel though
I lost it at "tough shit Cody you got a job to do! What are you, 9?!" *Cody 9* "Oh, you are"
PLEASE I NEED MORE OF THIS. IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE EP 2
Taylor ended up joining an MLM and went Platinum, didn't she.
Who's the psychopath that thought this was a good show?
Even Maze Runner had a better sense of putting kids together to see how they would survive.
Please keep these coming! I'd never heard of this show before and every episode you guys put out makes me believe this whole this has to be a gag - but no, someone actually made this!? Unbelievable...

Finally! I was worried this series was abandoned. So excited!
We Millennials were really built different. Hope these kids grew up to be decent 20-somethings now.
all the kids acting drunk was hilarious
"The VIO-LENCE!"
Please keep this series up! Couldn’t think of a more relevant time to explore unsuspecting underdeveloped adolescents attempting to survive being restricted from modern society. It’s almost too ironic
That show needs to make a comeback!
Colton the bull whisperer, was the coolest kid ever!
Say what you will but Colton was an absolute mad lad.
My mouth dropped in shock at multiple points during this video
Hungover Jared sounding like young Bernie Sanders
4 months into quarantine and we're just getting episode three of this pfft damn 😂 love it tho
Funny or die did the kid nation before Jon tron, they're the one who started it.
No they didn't, jon tron put out his video weeks ago
CoolMan Caravan no. Funny or die did it way before jontron. This is their third video about it
they did but you gotta think Jontron starts filming his stuff months ahead
@@HeyDanisaurus they did it last year way before jon tron
@@HeyDanisaurus still they did it before him you can check
How was this show even legal?
Are you going to release these on a timely manner or every 6 to 8 months?
I can’t decide if this or Zack Morris is Trash is my favorite series😩😩😩
What I find hilarious is that it seems like the kids look back on this fondly. Kinda love it.
The show feels like a summer camp for the children of every person who appeared in Tiger King.
What a twister!
"they're doing this instead of school....cooool"
Where are you? We are not in this together anymore.
I miss you
Nobody’s going to talk about how that kid literally stared down a fucking bull and won?!
I can't explain how long I was waiting for this video.
RIP 40 HOT PIZZAS
Pretty sure Taylor is complaining about why she shouldn’t have to wear a mask in Walmart right now.
she's a therapist and asking her patients to just deal with it
Jontron interviewed the best kid from the first episode or maybe the whole show a few weeks ago
the eric barber is interviewing every kid
No he didn't interview Jared
Konami not yet lmao.
He literally interviewed the worst kid who was the first to leave haha obviously had the most experience and was also pretty young so he can remember so much right?
You are back after 5 months
Jimmy (not 8 anymore) made the wisest decision in this show, by leaving.
I wish they would do more of these videos. They are so funny. Also whatever happened to the ice cream comedy show. I can’t find them anywhere
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Yeeesss!! I'm so glad you came back to this series!
I can't believe they got a freaking twister on camera, and nobody died or got seriously injured. o_o
this is my fave youtube series atm lmao. can't wait for ep 4.
"The Bourgeoisie must be brought down."
This feels like a show one of the Impractical Jokers would come up with as a joke
Darren, awesome episode, thanks for bringing it back!
Please do more episodes on this show more often! I’ve watched the 3 you did so far and they’re hilarious.
As someone who lives in New Mexico, loved that New Mexico tourism ad joke! Made me do a spit take
JonTron fans: ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES!
funny or die did i first months ago
@@beingzombievstheworld yes... I know that.
I have extremely high desires for you to put more episodes out more often
It’s almost like the creators of the TV show did not watch Lord of the flies and see what happens when children are left to there on devices
Dang, I missed the glorious return of Kid Nation on Funny or Die.
I just love how they went crazy for pizza 😂😂
They really should have chosen the pizza. I mean, what good is a single microwave for 50 kids? What are they planning on cooking in it? You know they just assumed it was the responsible choice.

aghhh waited so long i only subscribed for this ep 3 tho how long till the next -_- lol
Cholera? Kids drinking bleach? I am HOOKED
We were all waiting for the bull to ragdoll that kid
You should do this show more, I want there to be some sort of purge or outbreak of the flu or something.
I love you too KN narrator guy.

I went to middle school with a girl that was on this show and she was asked to be on it after her father didn’t make it to be on survivor.
Thank god been waiting for this forever I was scarred they drooped this series
Thank god yall kept going
i remember watching this as a kid like " im in for season 2"
PLEASE, WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!! I AM BEGGING!🤣😭
WE NEED MOAR!

5:50 Wow, that first guy who smells like ham sure wears a lot of hats on this show.
When did this air? I have no memory of this being a thing.
Please keep making this review, it's amazing!
Can't wait to get episode 4 in December

Why does this sound like the best summer camp ever tho
Kid Nation, WB's Superstar USA and the first season of Joe Millionaire were my favorite troll reality shows.
