Shit that's faker than Pam Anderson's titties and more fixed than pro wrestling\!
2. (reality tv) (326↑, 26↓)
possibly the worst advent in television since pro wrestling. Basically an excuse for Fox TV to only have to spend $30,000 dollars on random street folk and a handycam, so they can tape for twelve hours and get ridiculously high ratings, turning a large profit in the process-originated with shows like COPS, and Candid Camera, and eventually degraded itself to shit like "The Simple Life," "Joe Millionare," and most recently and disgustingly, "The Swan"

"Rupert Murdoch is a walking, talking asshole who uses human degradation to add to his pile of blood-money."

3. (Reality TV) (260↑, 12↓)
A truly saddening development of modern media. Programming which lacks any redeeming social, intellectual or moral value but is nonetheless poigniant in a macabre way due to the reflection it offers of a rapidly declining western culture. Primarily watched by mindless, brainwashed Americans who are long since bereft of any intelligent thought or recognizable human values (greed and self-interest notwithstanding).

Reality TV is one of the major reasons I decided to stop watching television entirely. That, and the fact that every news station in the country is owned by a very small number of rich white males who have absolutely no vested interest whatsoever in educating the public, offering useful information, or doing anything other than making more money than any human being could possibly have practical use for over several lifetimes.

About as real as seeing a cat doing my tax papers while whistling Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" in A-minor.

Reality my ass.

7. (Reality TV) (163↑, 10↓)
Overhyped, overrated television shows which are in no way, shape, or form, real.

Survivor was the catalyst which has spawned all the crap reality TV show that you now see on nearly every channel on cable and satellite.

8. (reality tv) (79↑, 10↓)
You can watch as the western world culture declines and cheapens. How long can you watch people on an island and still be entertained by it?

Reality TV is slowly taking over the airwaves while good programming like "ren and stimpy" is nearly impossible to find.

9. (reality TV) (85↑, 17↓)
a shitty ass excuse for a TV show. something people with no lives talk about durring social times. FAKE.

I'm not sure if it's TV, but I'm sure that whoever came up with the idea needs to be taken out and shot. Repeatedly.

He watched reality TV and lost his IQ in the process.

14. (reality tv) (47↑, 2↓)
Shows that get their entertainment value from the fake suffering of the cast members going through "real life" situations that never happen in the first place.

Joe Millionaire licks ballsack.

15. (reality TV) (42↑, 2↓)
Shallow television because reality TV is a one trick pony. It relies on stretching out tension ridiculously and keeping interest with promising plot twists. In most cases, after you see a reality tv series once you pretty much show no interest to watch it again, and that's the only factor that will keep dramas and comedies alive on television. Unfortunately reality TV has saturated the networks so much that mundane fictional television shows are getting praise because there is a huge lack of variety despite hundreds and hundreds of channels. Reality tv = tv [hell]

"Fuck I hate reality tv."

16. (reality tv) (38↑, 3↓)
The downfall of Civilization as we know it.

Aliens will never visit earth because they will see our reality tv shows and think we're all dumbasses who need to be killed.

17. (reality tv) (45↑, 11↓)
A very good example of how easy it is to keep people in today's world entertained. It's always about a group of 20 or so, very retarded people competing in stupid shit and rambling some of the stupidest things ever said. C'mon people, how can watching a bunch of people living inside a house while having their every move recorded be good TV? GET A LIFE\!\!\! The shittiest thing to happen to the U.S. since George W. Bush. Was started with Road Rules in MTV(figures)

Person 1: Are you going to watch that new reality tv show about 2 monkeys scratching their balls for an hour? Person 2: No, I'm going to watch the one about people inventing really stupid shit.

18. (reality tv) (33↑, 3↓)
T.V shows that show real people doing what real people really would never do\!

People being "stranded" on an island with fifteen other people and have to do challenges so you don't get "voted off"\!

19. (Reality TV) (43↑, 17↓)
The most retarded idea ever made. It wouldn't be so bad if every single reality show wasn't as [scripted] as watching a sitcom. The real world is not REAL. Why do you think in EVERY season the black dude always goes crazy and doesn't get along with the white people. Because he's paid to and thats what the script says. Reality tv is as real as Santa Claus. MTV specifically seems to like to air shows with stupid teenagers trying to get a date by going out with thier mom or trying to not get "next-ed" but their stupid shows have teenagers in it that are not convincing at all and have way too many coincidences for it to ever be real. People who actually like that shit are retarded 30 year olds that live in their parents basement still crying about the fact that they had no friends in highschool so they [cut themselves] at night and listen to [emo] music.

Reality TV wouldn't be so bad if it was actually real and not all writen on a script in every single fucking show ever made.

20. (reality tv) (35↑, 10↓)
On the top of the list of American oxymorons, the only aspect of reality that it accurately portrays the American value that you have to be a backstabbing piece of bastard to survive in corporate America just like in shows like Survivor.

Reality TV is the fakest piece of shit ever broadcasted on TV. Except for all the backstabbing and the complete willingness to sacrifice friendships in the name of being self-centered and obsessed with winning something that isn't really worth the price, which is, unfortunately a very real part of our country. See: [Professional Sports]

21. (reality tv) (29↑, 5↓)
not reality at all- seriously, who the fuck gets stuck on an island & wins money for it? you'll never see two rich bitches working on a farm, real top models do not endure contests/ challenges, a popular ultra-chic chick will never be caught dead with a nerd, and none of these 'american idols' ever become legends. see [shit]

The surreal life, kept, strip search, fear factor, survivor, blow out, the bachelor, the bachelorette, beauty & the geek, the simple life, gastineau girls , americas next top model, american idol, pretty much every single fucking show- if you watch more than 3 of these on a regualr basis, you dont even have your own reality.

22. (reality tv) (22↑, 1↓)
A good example of how easy people can be entertained in the world of today. Usually consists of 20 or so people, whoms IQ would add up to 64 if combined and have absolutely no chance of making it in the real world. Instead, you watch these people make total asses of themselves for public tv. A waste of time, and a good example of how networks just have too much money and no good ideas. It was started my Road Rules of MTV(figures)

Person 1: Are you gonna watch that new reality tv show about two monkeys scratching their balls? Person 2: No, I'm gonna watch that new one about people inventing stupid shit.

23. (reality tv) (25↑, 4↓)
Like all forms of TV (except legitimate sports), reality TV is scripted. Oh, the dialogue may be improvised but the situations are scripted... CBS knows who's gonna win "Survivor" before they even film it\! The first season of "The Real World" (back in 1992) may not have been scripted... but every single so-called reality TV show since then was\! You think Viacom or News Corp or Disney or General Electric is gonna finance a show if it ain't a sure thing?

I think we should combine a few reality TV shows. Let's broadcast the true story of 16 sorority girls (ages 18 to 23) picked to live on a tropical island who are competing for the affections of a wealthy, handsome bachelor... IN A DEATH MATCH THUNDERDOME TOURNAMENT\!

A really stupid idea those fuckshots from FOX decided to develop.

Guy \#1: Did you see that new reality TV show on Fox last night? Guy \#2: Uhh..no, it looked too gay. Besides, jumping off a skyscraper for 200 bucks isn't reality...IT'S A FUCKING GAME SHOW\! Guy \#1: Survivor doesn't have that\! Guy \#2: Survivor was an excuse of a TV show. They interviewed a bunch of fucks on nation TV, turned them against each other, and then gave the winner money. GAME. SHOW. Guy \#3: Yea, and besides, they starved themselves. We're doing a hella great job of making sure our youth aren't becoming anorexic or bulemic aren't we? Guys \#1&2: Where the fuck did you come from? How did you get in?? Get the fuck outta our house\!

25. (reality TV) (19↑, 3↓)
The stuff people watch when they want to get away from their own pitiful realities. Like soap operas, but with a cash prize at the end.

The Apprentice, Survivor, Girls vs. Boys, etc.

26. (Reality TV) (18↑, 3↓)
It's what [MTV] has dedicated its airtime to, instead of [music].

MTV has so much Reality TV shows. They may as well rename "MTV" to "RTV".

27. (reality tv) (23↑, 9↓)
Low-brow television, unscripted material from actual people. People may be suffering or under stress. Also: most reality TV shows characters contain at least a high majority of white people, one token black person, one token asian person, and one token hispanic person.

Big Brother, Survivor, Joe Millionaire, The Littlest Groom, are examples of reality TV.

28. (reality tv) (17↑, 4↓)
The [crack] cocaine of television.

In re Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth vs. Ereka Vetrini the court decides that both parties are sentenced to a life on reality tv without possibility of parole

29. (Reality TV) (16↑, 3↓)
The mirror through which we can see the decline of our civilization.

If the Roman Empire was aroung today, reality TV would be the cause of its decline.

30. (reality tv) (11↑, 1↓)
the programs run by fox television corparation, cbs, nbc, and any other worthless piece of crap that the majority of americans worship. complete waste of time as the consumer watches it only then giving more money to people who are too rich already and giving fake political candidates, such as Bush, more power in sponsorships. has no relation to reality in any way. DONT WATCH\!\!\!\!\!\!

Don't watch reality tv, it corrupts the minds and is what gives all Americans a bad name in Europe.

A new wave of network and sometimes cable television that features "ordinary" people, and is supposedly unscripted; often competitive with motives to win monetary prizes; notorious for being a waste of time yet addicting to many.

"Why are you watching reality TV again?" the children's father questioned.

33. (Reality TV) (9↑, 1↓)
1.Television show that pretends to be real when in fact is also scripted. Shows such as Survivor and American Idol. 2. Bad television 3. [Ryan Seacrest] thinking he can act.

Bringing YouTube to the big screen since 2005. Most reality TV shows are just dignifed YouTube stuff all packed together in a half hour or hour. Also the sign that America is losing it's creativity and intelligence.

I am watching a reality TV show about little bratty kid. Shit, that is on YouTube all the time.

36. (Reality TV) (6↑, 2↓)
Reality TV: An Irony. It's as scripted as Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice and lines in "The Terminator".

Reality TV on mtv, vh1, etc.. Air head: Omg\! Tara just found out Josh cheated on her with Jenna at Tara's own party. Kim got a DUI. Chelsea got a contract with the best supermodeling agencies in the world. Chad just got promoted to a million dollar business, and Kelly found out she got preggers my some random hookup she met at Tara's party. OMG\!\! Sooo much drama\!1 Smart person: You do know that's all scripted, right? Air head: Ughh\! Whatevs\!

Well this is a type of television programming favoured by commerical TV stations who rely on generating revenue by advertising. These types of shows appeal to the lowest common denominator which means they dont offer a refined taste or opinion and so by default doesn't turn people off because its not to their particular taste. It also plays on the idea of voyeurism. This in theory means the show attracts a large broad range of viewers as possible which will in turn drive up advertising slot costs and make more money. This is often supplemented by a phone vote feature which generates more money. In the UK, where the explosion of Digital Terrestrial Television has now given most of the public at least 30 channels to choose from, the big 5 commercial terrestrial channels have employed reality TV as a tactic to maintain large audiences. Most guilty of this is 'itv', nicknamed [chav]tv whos last two attempts at reality TV were a little too far fetched (celebrity wrestling and celebrity love island) and concequently flopped. My hope is that this represents a turn in the tide of endless banal reality TV and that the enormous amount of money made off it will be invested into quality TV programming but I think thats unlikely.

o you want to be on a reality TV show?

38. (reality TV) (2↑, 7↓)
The dominate TV of the 21st century, as sitcoms, westerns, and variety shows were the dominate of the 20th century. Usually like by young adults age 15-40 and includes stuff such as eating cow brains for a million dollars or trying to survive on an island. Or you can have dating shows, which are not that bad, and stuff that are for models and singers.

American Idol, Survivor, and Fear Factor is an example of reality TV.

39. (reality tv) (14↑, 19↓)
A cash cow that has been milked to death by Fox, ABC, and MTV. The concept was interesting at first, but now the only thing interesting about it is seeing how low the networks will go for ratings. If you watched "Who's Your Daddy?" or "Who wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire?", you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Besides, most of it is staged, anyway.

Just watch the news if you want reality.

One of the best and most hilarious things in the world. The only good reality TV shows so far have been Survivor 1.
