Dude, What Would Happen Review
Dude, What Would Happen premiered on Cartoon Network as part of the CN Real block of live action reality show programming on Wednesday, August 19, 2009. First off, I am kind of hesitant to even think that live action stuff belongs on a network with the name cartoon in it, but I try to give these shows a chance in the thinking that if they are good Cartoon Network will make the move to creating a CN Real channel and return Cartoon Network to an all cartoon channel. That being said Dude, What Would Happen is not a good example of a show that would make me want to watch CN Real programming more.
Dude, What Would Happen is basically about 3 guys (I think they are high school age teenagers) thinking of random things to try out and then doing them. The first episode they do crazy things involving liquid and one of the guy's car and things involving helium balloons. Some might find it interesting to see them do things like fill the trunk with lemonade, driving with the car full of water, and making the car into a hot tub on wheels, but I just found them to be really stupid and pointless stunts. The second round of stunts involved using helium to make a stuffed penguin, a sumo wrestler, and one of the guys fly. This was just as crazy and really does not make for an interesting show. I am not saying the stunts could not be cool, but really they really only seem like the kind of things that could be fun to see in person and perhaps even experience.
The main thing that I found annoying about the show was the guys themselves. They just came across as total idiots. Sure, they may be creative if those are really their ideas, but the way they talk and such just really showed they were stereotypical dumb perhaps high teenagers. I know I am older than the crowd this show it supposed to appeal towards, but I have a feeling that the whole crowd that even watches the channel does not want reality live action shows in the first place and this one is not going to bring in new viewers with its poor quality.
