I'm really in two minds about this show.
On the one hand, when its funny or when you are first introduced to it, It is beyond funny, it is absolutely hilarious. But when its shit, its shit. And usually homosexual as well.
For those of you overseas who don't know the show here is the Wiki entry:
Kenny vs. Spenny is a Canadian comedy reality television series about two best friends, Kenneth "Kenny" Joel Hotz and Spencer "Spenny" Nolan Rice, who face each other in various competitions. The loser of the episode must perform an act of humiliation, usually selected by the winner. Kenny and Spenny created the series themselves. As of November 2007, the show airs on CBC and Showcase in Canada, and on Comedy Central in the United States. Kenny asserts that the series is completely unscripted, and is all real.[1]
The first few times I caught this show I happened to watch about 3 of the best episodes from the first few seasons and I thought it was brilliant. I fully lolzerskated. I thought it was that good. Then I didn't watch it for ages and so my expectation grew. Then I watched a few episodes where the 'competition' was just plain shit, just fucking boring and the humiliation involved some kind of fruity act with some fags doing faggy shit to spenny, and spenny pretending to hate it, but barely hiding his enjoyment.
When Kenny gets under Spennys skin and pushes him to the edge I love it, he torments Spenny terribly. But when you realise its basically the same thing with kenny setting up spenny or cheating every episode it gets old real quick. Thats what I think when I watch a crappy episode, but then I'll catch one that brings tears to my eyes and all is forgiven.
Kenny spiking Spennys drink with liquid LSD is funny. The comp was who could wear a dead octopus on their head the longest a clip is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYpqbUc_f3I
Whether or not Spenny was in on it I dont' really fucking care, because even of he was he gets really fucking wacked and Kenny takes advantage of this by pretending to be Jesus on the cross, a magical bunny rabbit that turns into a monster a totally freaks Spenny the fuck out... That is comedy gold. The poor guy is so tripped out and so happy, gleefully chasing a life size rabbit head around the house, then Kenny scares the fuck out of him and you see his acid world come crashing down, practically reverting him to a fetal position.
But one question: why all the gay shit? Are they both mad closet fags like Trey Parker and Matt Stone... Who are also executive producers from the 4th season.
Do they really expect us to believe that Spenny falls into Kennys trap every time and fails to learn from the previous 4 years worth of episodes?
Then there was the episode where the crew made them french kiss, and Spenny fucking jumped for it, then tried to play it cool but you could tell he wanted to, what a fag.
I'll leave with you with another bit from wiki because I didn't know it was popular overseas:
The series was nominated for Gemini Awards in 2005 and 2006 as the best Canadian comedy series, and has received a Rose d'Or nomination in Switzerland for "best international comedy series". The show has spawned several replicas of its format, including a British version on Sky One called Ed vs. Spencer. There is also a German version of the show, called Elton vs. Simon, featuring two German comedians and friends. A Quebec version, called Frank vs Girard follows the exploits of two Québécois.
______
Frank vs Girard... from Quebec??? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS it sounds gayer than sicosemen on gay day in a gay parade in the gay end of town wearing a pink leotard and holding an anti heterosexual sign while riding a giant dildo attached to a gay motorbike on his way to a queer party with all his queer mates in a homosexual fantasy world where there are only men and everyone has to wear short shorts and aspire to be as gay as their gay leader who wears a pink leotard and holds an anti heterosexual sign whilst riding a giant dildo attached to a gay motorbike on his way to a queer party with all his queer mates and is called sicosemen.

i would say it's a mediocre show. some of it is funny but much of it is boring, vacuous, repulsive, cheap humor.

The one where they can't use any arms is fucking hilarious.
I never laughed harder when i saw Kenny using a midget on his back for arms.

Living in Toronto you really hear alot of stuff through the grapevine about these guys. Everyone seems to either know someone that knows Kenny or Spenny, or they've "totally seen them at the bus stop, and I've totally been to their house". A surprising amount of these stories seem to involve some poor woman being hit on by one or both of them, followed with: "apparently they're both really creepy".

That was great. I've only caught it On Demand a few times and they got boring very quickly.
I'd seriously fuck someone up if they 'dosed' me without my knowledge, I'm too old now and my brain couldn't handle it.
