Backyard Bar Wars (2021)
It's meh
It's alright but the host gets on my nerves and the conversations feel somewhat fake and scripted. It's okay if you have nothing else to watch but there are definitely better (and worse) shows that TruTV has to offer.
Impractical Jokers (2011)
Nice but they're running out of ideas
It's a nice and funny show. A lot of the antics the guys pull on each other are pretty amusing, and you and definitely see and feel the friendly chemistry they have between them.
Though lately I haven't laughed as much from their episodes as I used to, it seems like they've been going too over the top with the punishments now. Some of the punishments they do now are flat-out painful (in a recent episode Murr had to have a CATHETER put in him) and it's not right. It's like their idea pool is starting to run low, and in my opinion it's beginning to be one of those shows that have gone on too long where it starts out good but ends up a shell of its former self; think of the Simpsons. I don't even see how they can do the show anymore since they're so popular that people recognize them all the time.
Another gripe I have is with Sal, he's so annoying to me. He acts like a big manchild who whines and cries over everything. Everyone disses on Murr but he's far more tolerable to me than Sal.
In summary, funny at times nowadays but not like it used to be. The Jokers are funny guys but the show is starting to get somewhat dry to me.
Big Trick Energy (2021)
TruTV is losing it
A shameless ripoff of IJ and Carbonaro, two of their most successful shows. The tricks aren't very good and these guys honestly can get annoying. TruTV is running out of ideas and the only reason they still get revenue is because of the Jokers.
Top Secret Videos (2020)
No
I've woken up before to hear and see this on my TV. Lord, it was one of the biggest cringefests I've ever seen. The clips are fine, but it's just the hosts. Their jokes are old, dry, and tasteless, and their annoying fake laughter only makes it that much worse. It's just another overused concept seen in countless other (and BETTER) shows, just done WORSE.
But I guess I have to say I expected this. Once I saw the trailers I knew it would flop. Top Secret Videos is definitely not going to last for another season.
Tournament of Laughs (2020)
Nope
No laughs from me whatsoever. I could barely sit through one skit without getting annoyed or cringing.
World's Dumbest (2008)
How does this have 7.5 stars?
I am so sick of seeing this show when it comes on from 12 PM to 3 PM. I have never heard of any of these nobody "comedians" on this show. They're not funny and the constant cutting to them from the clips really gets on my last nerve, along with the mock commentary, which is unnecessary and annoying. The clips aren't that funny either.
And that's another thing: the clips. They constantly show people getting hurt and this is not right! You shouldn't poke fun at someone breaking their leg, or dislocating their thumb, or getting cut, or whatever! How is this allowed to be shown on TV??? And why are they still showing this even after they quit making episodes in 2014?
There are worse shows though, like Comedy Knockout and the Laff Mobb thing. Take this off now, truTV. This has got to stop.
Tirdy Works (2020)
Why
This is just stupid. How did this become a show? Is truTV really this desperate?
The Carbonaro Effect (2014)
Just no
This show is just fake. The clips are edited so you're not able to see the "trick" Carbonaro's doing. And he claims he's a magician. The people's reactions are overly melodramatic and fake, they're obviously paid actors. The disguises he uses also irk me. Most of them make him look weird or creepy as hell. Can't the people who work on this show find some better, more appealing disguises?
Honestly I'd rather stare at a wall for 30 minutes than watch this show. It's more entertaining anyways lol.
