How have I never seen Fantasy Factory before today?

I liked Rob & Big and pretty much quit watching MTV for years once it ended. I've occasionally watched Ridiculousness after being exposed to it at work on a slow night and I enjoy it for what it is.

Fantasy Factory is hilarious. I've had several LOL moments in the past hour. Can't believe I didn't know this existed. It's almost as good as Rob & Big, might be better once I see more. Anyone else a fan?

That's how I feel about Ridiculousness. Perfect to have on when I'm doing other stuff around the house.

It's a solid show, but is no R&B, which may be my favorite MTV show of all time.

There was a R&B marathon on a few days ago and I watched/recorded some episodes and forgot just how much I loved the show and how awesome and hilarious it was.

FWIW, Big Black is on the last season of FF, and will be on the final season as well, which starts in a week or so I believe.

Loved Fantasy Factory and Rob and Big. Hate Ridiculousness. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Tosh.0, but the commentary is just not funny to me.

True, forgot to mention that one...I gave it a shot, and it just isn't very good.

Oh see all the episodes I've seen so far have had Big Black in them. I didn't know he wasn't in the whole series and now I know I won't like it as a whole series as much as Rob & Big.

Tosh is definitely better commentary-wise but I can't say I hate ridiculousness. I watch it more for the videos than the commentary where as that may be the opposite or at least 50/50 with Tosh.

I'm the exact opposite. Tosh does nothing for me and is more annoying than anything to me, but I enjoy Rob a lot more.

Rob & Big is better but there's a number of times where I've laughed out loud at Fantasy Factory.

Normally if you turn on MTV or MTV2 in the afternoon, you will catch one of his shows on

I enjoyed fantasy factory a lot more once Big Black joined.

I wish they still treated Drama like a bitch though. They brought in his brother to be like Drama was on Rob and Big, but it wasn't the same.

The skate park opening episode is pretty funny though.

I cannot even begin to understand how anyone could think like that.

Rob is hilarious on Fantasy Factory and Rob and Big, and any other stuff. But I can't take Ridiculousness seriously. It's bad enough that it is a blatant ripoff of Tosh.0, but Rob just doesn't have the personality to do that kind of show. Couple that with Chanel doing nothing but her annoying laugh, and the show is barely watchable. The clips themselves are funny though, remind me of my younger years.

I could've told you that already.

And to be honest, FF is still a pretty good show. It's enjoyable in the same vein as R&B, it's just not as good (and R&B is a high bar to live up to anyway IMO). FF was a good show before Big Black was on it...it was just Rob, Drama, Chanel, and Rob's manager or whatever (forget his name), and the Big Cat. And it was all about Rob's shenanigans.

I do prefer peon bitch Drama to "successful" tatted-up Drama though.

FF has some great episodes though..
MAN-DIME!
Tennis ball cannon
Zip line
World record skateboard
Basketball trick shots
Gorilla suit
Drama's car
Rob's T-Rex
etc.

That's a good summation of how I felt about Ridiculousness when I watched it. And I prolly watched the first season of it.

I did like the FF episode where they recorded the opening song for Ridiculousness though.

It was funny as hell seeing that in the Tucks parade a few years ago. Big Black dapped me up when I recognized him and said "what up big black" (yea, I was drunk). I know, CSB.

Daniel Tosh's bit making fun of Fantasy Factory was pretty funny. Basically made Rob look like a pedophile. I remember Rob Dyrdek getting all butthurt and posting about it on Twitter.

Thanks. I'll lower my expectations a bit and I'm sure I'll enjoy it

Fantasy Factory is definitely a better showcase for Rob. Rob doesn't add anything to the videos with his commentary. Also, I think we all wish we could all have our own Fantasy Factory.
