But more than that, the experience itself made the biggest impact on their lives. It has been more than a half-decade since these episodes originally aired, but the students I spoke to are still reaping the real-life benefits. Bowers is still rapping, signed with Nick Cannon, shares managers with E, recently collaborated with Krayzie Bone, and toured with Tech N9ne.
Griffith, after becoming the featured beatboxer in her high school show choir, now uses beatboxing in speech-language pathology, assisting in speech therapy.

She was able to shake off her nerves and perform to a cheering crowd. The band didn't place in the competition, but everyone is proud of their performance. Peck currently lives in Dallas, TX, where she works as a claims adjuster.
Brian Shocklee defined himself as a geek who wanted to be a ladies' man. Nashed took Shocklee to the gym and helped him to lose 22 pounds. Then the MADE contestant got a clothing makeover and lost the glasses. Unfortunately, though, when Shocklee asked his dream date, Elizabeth, to the prom, she turned him down. He eventually wiped away the tears and found someone else.
Shocklee was passionate about gaming in high school, and he parlayed that interest into a career. Hallie Willm suffered from a lack of confidence in high school. She joined the show to become a hop-hop dancer. He made Willm do rigorous exercises. It was a tough run for the teen; she couldn't quite grasp the dance steps for her talent show audition.

But unlike the protagonists of the sci-fi buddy-cop comedy, MTV and its parent company, ViacomCBS, have no need for a memory-wiping device.
Apparently, consumers are willing to watch repeat programming with their memories fully intact. Four years ago, The New York Times ran a study about the 50 most-liked TV shows on Facebook and then mapped those preferences by geography.
But while Ridiculousness has been a regular winner for MTV for a while, it has lately been on so much that it has all but taken over the entire network. Variety reported that during a stretch of hours on MTV in late June, hours of programming were gobbled up by Ridiculousness.
That approach remains unchanged. When I randomly checked in on the station one weekend in August, the show ran for more than 36 hours uninterrupted from Saturday morning through 3 a. Ridiculousness first premiered in and has shot 17 seasons to date, and Dyrdek has been a fixture on MTV for 14 years and counting.

Thus, I resolved to binge the show and throw myself headlong into one of the many marathons forever running on MTV these days. I would strap myself to the couch and not get up until all the Ridiculousness had been consumed. But it did quickly feel familiar and formulaic.
Video submissions of any kind are not accepted by MTV or the producers. For laughs. The show pretty faithfully sticks to a script: Rob—joined by friends Chanel last name: West Coast and Sterling—reviews various video clips and laughs along at the expense of others.
In the episodes I screened, there were trust falls gone wrong, soap box derby collisions, a toddler smacking a slightly bigger child in the face, and endless face-plants into walls, rocks, and the side of a pool.
