Okay, so you guys know how there are all these bogus reality shows that are totally staged to add in [censored] drama all over the place now a days?
Like a show about moon shiners who are making illegal booze under the nose of the law and running from the cops; or a show about 'badass' pirates (I'm a pirate in a war!) that are taking down the big bad evil japanese whalers by committing international crimes; or even a show about guys that repo cars and get shot at and attacked by the person leasing the vehicle, all while the camera men are catching it all on film.
If you actually believed these shows, you would probably think to yourself, "Damn, these are some bad ass hardcoe people here".
Well I ask you this, who is even more bad ass and extreme then these people being filmed on the show?
The answer is simple: THE GUYS WHO ARE DOING THE FILMING! Not only are they running from cops, boarding enemy ships, and getting into fist fights with angry vehicle owners - but they are doing all while holding a camera and filming it!
Now here's the idea of the best reality show ever.
Picture this, it's a show that's staged to look real like all these reality shows, but is actually fake and takes a lot of planning and work to make it look real (sort of like the Trailer Park Boys, or any reality show out now a days, if you know what I mean here), but the reality show is about Reality TV camera men.
The show would have a camera crew following the same mercenary camera crew who works for ALL of these reality shows at one point who in turn follow the cast of the show that they are currently filming - if you get what I'm saying.
It would follow the escapades of these badass camera men who are actually way more hardcoe then the people that they are filming, as they jump from planes and exploding wreckage or whatever the show calls for, all while they are filming everything.
Seeing as how every reality show now a days follows the same formula as being more shocking and extreme then the last reality show before it, always trying to out do each other; this reality show will be the grand daddy of all reality shows, topping the badass metre and guaranteed to be the most popular reality show for as long as a reality show life span lasts (which is usually like 2, 3 years).
After this reality show, there would be no point in having any more reality shows ever again, as nothing would ever be able to top it. So in one fell swoop, whoever made this show would milk dry the final market of reality shows and at the same time, exterminate reality shows forever.
I know this post is completely pointless, but i was bored and thought of this idea and thought it was actually pretty funny and that it probably could work in real life - that's how sad the world has become today. What do you guys think the success of this would be if it actually got made? If you have any better/funnier ideas, I'd like to hear them as well.
