14 years and 46 seasons

1,700 episodes

the series has taken up as much as 113 hours (or more) a week out of the network’s 168-hour lineup.

MTV was paying Dyrdek [...] at least $32.5 million per year

Jesus.

    Dude has made half a billion dollars in less than 15 years... The show is just bullshitting about dumb videos that someone on the team found funny over the last few days, like... Bullshitting about stupid videos for 15 years and getting paid a half billion dollars for it sounds pretty chill ngl.

    If a show is canceled that nobody’s watching, does it make a sound?

    How the fuck? It was a worse, dumber copy of Tosh.0 that itself was an edgier, more Internet based copy of The Soup which itself was a rebrand/modernization of Talk Soup.

    And yet, somehow, it ran more episodes of all those shows combined.

    Wait, how many seasons? That can’t be correct. Did they run like 4 seasons a year?

    With more than 1,700 episodes, “Ridiculousness” is one of the longest-running series in MTV history.... As Variety reported in 2020, the series has taken up as much as 113 hours (or more) a week out of the network’s 168-hour lineup. To many, the show became a symbol of the zombie-fication of MTV and its lack of original programming.

    it's a cheap-to-produce 'clip show' that airs with the frequency music videos used to several decades ago.

    I havent watched MTv since The Maxxxx went off the air. It became all fake reality shows of people living together.
