@@m1zxry_tt832 no the writers and journalists are scared because an AI chatbot can gauge what the fans *actually* want and copy paste with far more accuracy than they can. Hence why they're pushing the "they're coming for our jobs" fearongering they're pushing. Maybe they should learn to code?
Depressing fun fact! A lot of these shows came out during a big surge of reality tv, the reason being is because around that time was the last writers strike. So this was networks way of having shows airing with minimal writing because the craziness of the people hired was enough to fill the air time. Thats why they also tend to be...uh...not great
Don't we have a writer's strike happening now as well? Something tells me that we're most certainly seeing it happen again and I'm terrified by that prospect.
Pimp My Ride was my favorite from 2000's MTV. I used to think having TV screens in your car doors was cool. Then I grew up and realized that it was the mid-2000's and that the resolution would be dogshit.
I remember one episode of „next“ where a girl was saying in the first second next to the first 4 guys and gone on a multi hour date with the last person. At the end the guy took the money, because she was so mean to the others guys, ditching them only based on the first look.
As someone who was a teen in the late-90s/early-00s, I wholly agree with the title of this video. While television hasn't gotten any better, this really paved the way for the nonsense we see today.
The "chicken cutlets" isn't just for making your boobs look bigger. We also have them in swimwear or sports bras so people won't see our nips poke out through the clothing.
I would pay serious money to go back in time and be at the writer’s meetings for these ideas. I really would. Because this is so interesting in the worst way possible.
I unironically LOVED Next and Exposed because of how hilarious it was. I totally forgot about Parental Control though. That show was some kind of fever dream type shit 😂
“We’re gunna take you to the dentist” Id haven’t been to the dentist in 15 years. I brush twice a day, but i have 42 teeth, and I keep growing more… if Im going to die like a rat, teeth growing in my brain, Id rather not know about it. Just let it happen, out of sight out of mind.
I'm so envious of the chicken cutlet in the fridge... Girls can put on a spaghetti dress and go to the opera (if the dress is nice enough ofc) and still have this option?! Us, the PP ppl, get frown upon if we don't wear a fckin west under the jacket in 40 °C during stupid pointless business meetings. Thats 104 °F for you my dear world overlords, about 20 °F more than the warmest super bowl recorded (given google told me that those great bowls are served in Feburary, a warm bowl seems pretty nice tho).
my god i was there, mtv was trying not to fade off since all the music swiched to the internet and they saw the writing on the wall they wanted to keep being the young people channel and huge as they where but instead they scared people away whit this cringe trash... we couldnt belive it at the time.
0:50 attention and validation 4:45 🤣 6:30 yes he did and I had the exact same reaction 8:46 🤣 that was cringe but the good kind of cringe 11:37 well do be fair usually bullies pick fights based on people who know (or more like believe) they can take on so I think it's not cringe, it's justice, they are on the receiving end on what they themselves are doing. but personally I would like to have the satisfaction of mauling them without worry about them playing the victims afterwards (cause seriously, most of them when shit hits the fan they play the victims) of course it would be a scam
Tbh, the chicken cutlet fridge idea...kinda based. Like, imagine having your bra be a little chilled when you're about to go out on a really hot day....but having underwear in the fridge with your _food_ is still way too weird. And oh my god, imagine someone keeping underwear in like, plastic bags in the fridge or freezer??? That feels like something straight out of a super weird comedy movie.
Mouse out here turning everyone into vtubers. She'll never get me! "Did she survive?" No she died. The vtuber called Ironmouse has been a robot replica all along.
Same. Fucking same. I thought we were going to go through Jackass or Jersey Shore or the Jersey Shore spin-off about Snooki (really hate that she has that name) or Wipe Out but nope, we got...whatever that fucking trash was. Apparently, none of the reality shows I watched were on MTV which is just as well because whenever I would watch MTV, I'd get a set of however many music videos, a commercial break and another set of however many music videos because that was what I thought that channel was for because the full name of the channel is basically: Music TV. But I live in Canada so I guess the USA's MTV is different from Canada's MTV.
ill take Punk'd and Jackass over the cringey fake pranks, or "pranks/crimes" by creators like Mizzy, and dangerous "challenge" videos we have nowadays. stupid "stunts" with shopping carts > stealing cars and crashing them for the Hyundai/ Kia USB hack/prank.
3:00 That's genius! They could double as a defense mechanism. The girl could take them out and throw them at an oncoming predator, giving her time for a swift escape.
3:00 Fun story I worked bagging groceries for people at a grocery store. One customer gave me his bags for me to pack his groceries. I opened up the first bag and within saw a chicken cutlet. I swiftly closed the bag and grabbed a different one. We aren't done, because I bagged for him again a month later and inside the same bag was the same chicken cutlet. The End

They made interesting and compelling TV unlike today. There's a reason Hollywood writers are being replaced by chatgpt xD
@@CavemanCrafts86 interesting and compelling storylines aren't why people are concerned about chatgpt taking jobs

Some of these shows were made during a prominent writers' strike. So, really, there WAS no writers' room.

Your editor is TOP NOTCH.
I feel like people dont compliment the editors enough, so lets give love to the editor.
Trust me, lots of viewers from Ironmouse give editors compliments
notch minecraft
Fr the meme drops are top tier
If I scroll down far enough there's five other comments saying the same thing as you
Pimp My Ride was my favorite from 2000's MTV. I used to think having TV screens in your car doors was cool. Then I grew up and realized that it was the mid-2000's and that the resolution would be dogshit.
plus you would have to give back those tv screens...
A lot of people's cars got literally destroyed by the "improvements"

Based and dodged a bullet.
Holy hell I forgot how bad reality television was... I can only expose myself to this through Mouse.
Peak joke at 8:35 by the way.
It's still, and always will be really bad lol. It's reality tv.
how to feel old, step 1: remember when the M in mtv actually stood for music
1: OUCH!!!! WHY YOU CALL ME OUT?!?
2: TRUTH!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mouse SHOULD host/have that "Do You Wanna Be A VTuber?" reality TV show.
Have Connor become the Simon Cowell of the show🤣🤣
ah, yes, Mousey dragging content creators into the Vtuber rabbit hole. ya love to see it.
10:39- No, she did not survive. Her brain was uploaded to the internet, and now she exists only as her VTuber form.
Turning youtubers into vtubers is the best idea ever. Bonus points if Jordna Fringe is the first guest.
Mousey just downright *snitching* on her refrigerated cutlet friend.
5:50
We need to revive this show for Conner
Oh my gosh you use the Matrix trailer music from my childhood for your intro. This is insane.
Bullies are only bad when they aren't me. Only a REAL loser gets bullied by an imposter.
“As if you don’t lie to yourself every fuckin day!” Imma use this quote

I remember my older sister watching some of these shows, I would catch them occasionally. There was some real weird s**t.
The "chicken cutlets" isn't just for making your boobs look bigger.
We also have them in swimwear or sports bras so people won't see our nips poke out through the clothing.
Connor would love to be on the show where u date the moms, he would be a returning competitor
5:06 This is the dictionary definition of menace to society!
I would pay serious money to go back in time and be at the writer’s meetings for these ideas. I really would. Because this is so interesting in the worst way possible.
The writers were on strike, which is why reality tv even exists.
2:39 I felt that on a spiritual level. My boy is even rocking those hobbit curls.
23 Years from now this will be considered peak cringe. I will be waiting.
Anyone remember when MTV actually had music videos on their channel?
These MTV shows aren’t cringe…
They are the reason why therapists exist
For these competition shows I want that ONE person to get told to do something and they say "No."
Then just walk off the set and out of the building
I unironically LOVED Next and Exposed because of how hilarious it was. I totally forgot about Parental Control though. That show was some kind of fever dream type shit 😂
Celebrity Deathmatch was incredible. God bless claymation.
With the amount of absolute dipshit celebrities and influencers today that show has never been needed more.
3:18 "Enhancing the truth", as GLaDOS says.
Fanteria deserves a raise for that editing
I remember when MTV was just music videos.
Mousey out here educating us about chicken cutlets.
Punk'd and Jackass were top tier
Don't forget Pimp my Ride......well before the problems occurred.
@@MikeTheEnforcer that one too and Silent Library, what were the problems again?
The only thing wrong with Punk'd is that it's probably the reason why we had to deal with so many RUclips "prank" channels
Hell yeah.
@@elrick44Punkd had specific targets, those awful prank channels are more like even older shows like Candid Camera that just messed with whoever.
The "man i love milfs" show💀
My bully broke my shoulder once and my ankle twice so I'd be onboard with them getting beat by a professional fighter, tbh.
That intro sequence has got me feeling nostalgic
“We’re gunna take you to the dentist”
Id haven’t been to the dentist in 15 years. I brush twice a day, but i have 42 teeth, and I keep growing more… if Im going to die like a rat, teeth growing in my brain, Id rather not know about it. Just let it happen, out of sight out of mind.
7:15 You just gave me the perfect lines to put on my gravestone
Miss the days of Liquid Television, MTV Oddities, Aeon Flux, The State, and when it was actually about music videos not crappy reality tv.
MTV was better in the 90s when their 80s shows were still going.
I miss og Jackass, that was an era long lost and will never come back
I'm so envious of the chicken cutlet in the fridge... Girls can put on a spaghetti dress and go to the opera (if the dress is nice enough ofc) and still have this option?!

6:36 Yes 7:05 also your laughing
0:50 attention and validation
4:45 🤣
6:30 yes he did and I had the exact same reaction
8:46 🤣 that was cringe but the good kind of cringe
11:37 well do be fair usually bullies pick fights based on people who know (or more like believe) they can take on so I think it's not cringe, it's justice, they are on the receiving end on what they themselves are doing.
but personally I would like to have the satisfaction of mauling them without worry about them playing the victims afterwards (cause seriously, most of them when shit hits the fan they play the victims)
of course it would be a scam
90's MTV was the best era!
There was Viva La Bam, Wildboys, Jackass, Nitro Circus, Fantasy Factory, and my all time favorite, Pimp My Ride.
2:03 do comicbook characters count?
8:38 fucking dead 💀the editing on this is 1000 IQ
Insert “bro that’s cringe” here
I believe this was the exact time period where MTV lost all significance and credibility
“Harassment” would’ve been a much more appropriate title for Punk’d, especially considering the RUclips genre it spawned.

I forgot how bad some of the ideas were.
Thank you Ironmouse for cushioning the amount of cringe I just witnessed.
10:19 always nice to see Oompaville in someone else’s videos!
Welcome to the early 00’s. Where any idea was a good idea 😂
"Oh god, too much cringe"
-Ironmouse, 59 seconds into the video.
This is going well.
Same. Fucking same.

@Dr.Kira6437 I loved watching Wipe Out back then, I used to wish that I could be on that show and go through the obstacle course
Ahhhh, the 2000s, I was born in it, molded by it
8:12, the church of vtubers trying to convert a heathen
MTV to this day has nothing but cringe.
ill take Punk'd and Jackass over the cringey fake pranks, or "pranks/crimes" by creators like Mizzy, and dangerous "challenge" videos we have nowadays. stupid "stunts" with shopping carts > stealing cars and crashing them for the Hyundai/ Kia USB hack/prank.
Omg I haven't seen half of these in so long man I feel old now
Honestly I would love for Ironmouse to turn me into a VTuber SOMEONE GREEN LIGHT THIS SHOW!!!
10:38 thats how vtubers are made
would love to see/be a part of the vtuber reality show 👌 that stuff can set someone up
Now I want to watch Iron Mouse do a Caso Cerrado episode. LOL
Reality TV basically started there, and killed it as well.
Hoisted by their own petard.
She will not rest until the entire world is vtubers.
3:00 That's genius! They could double as a defense mechanism. The girl could take them out and throw them at an oncoming predator, giving her time for a swift escape.
Like a lizard losing her tail.
Hands down the worst was Chains of Love where 4 people were literally chained together throughout the whole thing
You know what, I don't miss the 2000s anymore. I forgot about this cringe.
Fact. 2000's was the dark days but at the same time the best time of my life.
3:57 If I wasn't the person paying they could totally take me to the dentist. Be prepared to pay a few grand lol
this is a reaction video and a test for your high-pitch hearing!
@10:11 is that, young Johnny Knoxville? 😳
Mouse: why would you be on a show like this?
15 minutes of fame
8:46 Don’t forget the KY‼️👌🏼🙀😹
your dad being Calli :D Nice touch
ahh the memories lol.. but i never see anyone talk about I bet you will , or celebrity deathmatch 😂 or was that aired later?
3:00 Fun story
I worked bagging groceries for people at a grocery store. One customer gave me his bags for me to pack his groceries. I opened up the first bag and within saw a chicken cutlet. I swiftly closed the bag and grabbed a different one.
We aren't done, because I bagged for him again a month later and inside the same bag was the same chicken cutlet.
The End
Does anyone remember that show "Fanatic" where people stalked their favorite celebrities? Definitely cringe
I am glad that "cringe" was accurately applied here instead of as misused as "literally" is.
I feel like that thumb is supposed to be a pinky, but we're gonna act like we didnt see anything.
Viva la Bam was the best show, dont even @ me.
I had to be creative 🥲
@Ezzydesu cheers you did a magnificent job
Love your editing style
7:37 I see that Vesper clip!
the only posters i had was gaming posters....even then it was only 1 poster of smash bros 4 wii u
Still embarrassed I was on that show. And no, I dont watch mlp anymore, I stopped a long time ago.
Omg, I watched the Paris Hilton new BFF show live. It was fucking incredible. Just peak cringe.

The only thing I would recommend is The Maxx animated series.
6:50 oh gosh they saw!?
No one:
Ironmouse: Have you considered joining our cult of anime women?
At some point I scrolled the screen down to only show Ironmouse because the cringe got so painful
Yoooo I love Jordan Fringe, it's so cool that Mouse watched one of his videos.
Aside from Punked and Jackass, I never heard of any of the shows and I watched the former but never the latter
TBH all those shows were already cringe at the time of release.
Not Jackass though. Jackass was the quintessential form of entertainment
yes it was. i remember when it used to be a Music T.V. channel.
1:53 Yo!
Scar punk’d jackass were top tier
