MTV’s Ridiculousness Officially Canceled After 14 Years of Viral Clip Chaos

After 14 years of showcasing the internet’s wildest, funniest, and most cringe-worthy moments, MTV’s long-running clip show Ridiculousness has officially been canceled. The series, which premiered in 2011, became a staple of viral video culture, with host Rob Dyrdek and co-hosts reviewing everything from epic fails to outrageous stunts. With nearly 2,000 episodes spanning 46 seasons, it ranks among the network’s longest-running programs.

Ridiculousness thrived on its simple yet addictive format. Each episode featured Dyrdek and his co-hosts reacting to viral clips submitted online, blending humor, commentary, and occasional celebrity guest appearances. Chanel West Coast held the co-host spot for over a decade before leaving in 2023, with Lolo Wood later stepping in to maintain the show’s signature energy.

The cancellation is part of MTV’s broader programming strategy aimed at refreshing its lineup. While no new episodes will be produced, completed episodes will continue airing through 2026, letting viewers revisit classic viral moments. The show also stood out for its unusual season structure, sometimes releasing multiple seasons within a single year, keeping content fresh and audiences engaged.

Ridiculousness leaves behind a significant legacy in television and internet culture. It successfully turned viral clips into must-watch television, merging online trends with traditional TV entertainment. The series’ end reflects the challenges networks face in balancing established hits with new content while adapting to changing viewer habits.

MTV may be moving on, but Ridiculousness will remain a defining piece of the network’s history, a record of countless epic fails, viral stunts, and laughs that shaped a generation of viewers. Its 14-year run cements its place as one of the most enduring clip shows of the 2010s and 2020s.
