TV: The Movie (2006)
2/10
Just... bad.

This movie came out when I was 4, but all of the humor is so dated it might as well be prehistoric. As another reviewer put it, the cast are great stuntmen and skaters, but they are most definitely NOT actors or comedy writers. Recently, Steve-O said in a YT video about his "acting" career that 1/3 of the entire movie's budget was spent on cocaine, and after watching this hour+ showcase of cheap garbage I'm surprised it wasn't 2/3. Virtually every sketch has a lower production value than most high-school film projects, and the setups and jokes are just plain unfunny. The Mexican COPS "parody" is just a million consecutive dated stereotypical racist jokes all delivered in the worst put-on Mexican accents. The "female" news anchor (just another male cast member wearing a wig and talking with a feminine Steve-O voice) is so pointlessly dumb and unbearably annoying that when "she" interviewed Satan (Centaur Steve-O with horns) I actually preferred listening to Steve-O in a horrible edited voice pretend to be Satan and make a woman suck his centaur youknowwhat, because it meant I didn't have to hear the only possible voice worse than Steve-O's. The Miami Vice ripoff is really bad, and the the Circus Clown rehab ending is just hard to watch when you know it was Steve-O's genuine mindset at the time. This movie tries to be offensive, but it does so by just recycling unfunny racist and sexist jokes, and where it does try to be creative, it just gets worse. The mental asylum "Girls Gone Wild" is just a gross setup to show boobs for 3 minutes, but the prison humor is especially gross. The "prison gays" scene is so exceptionally bad and out-of-date I'm genuinely surprised none of the actors in it have been cancelled for it yet. NEVER let that scene air on Twitter or it will legitimately be the end of their careers.

Giving a 2/10 because despite how absolutely awful 95% of the movie is, there are a few genuinely funny bits that made me laugh out loud, namely the Wee-Man Jackass doll and Steve-O's ad for Trojan High-Risk condoms. Steve-O's MTV Cribs rip-off is also pretty ironic when you realize that while he was acting it up in that scene, he literally did end up become a rapper who WAS that bad on drugs.
