2000s MTV dating shows were INSANE 💀

[@smcumber]

Finn in all seriousness your humorous content is sometimes a bright spot in my day and a welcome diversion when times are hard. Keep churning it out, hell yeah brother.

[@theangelbelow88]

"I'm not a porn freak, I'm just your typical grindcore fan"

[@evilemuempire9550]

A perfect circle 😂

[@Corehboiii]

This is one of the best videos you’ve made in awhile I couldn’t stop laughing legit the whole time 😂

[@notaacreativehandle]

Bro these were the days, I was probably too young to be watching these but they were so fun

[@diSTUD013]

Papa Finn needs to do an episode on Bully Beatdown

[@TWProductions90]

The show NEXT walked so Tinder can run

[@liamfitzgerald7528]

Use all your connections and resources to set up a "Next - Where Are They Now" episode.

[@ericp_86]

Dude! I have seen every one of your shows and this without a doubt is the funniest shit you have ever put out!! I needed that!!🤘

[@notaacreativehandle]

00's baddies supremacy

[@cheesebuger13]

Finn should've called that girl after 9PM with free mintues instead of sending texts over the limit.

[@chobiechumpis]

They make pornactors look like actual actors.

[@JustinVioraldrums]

This was the peak of human civilization

[@park3r61]

From Peru, I agree.

[@ZAiNETH]

25:55 Bring back histories best tv graphic intro bumps! The message at the end is 110% facts. Indeed we need another renaissance enlightenment, The world will start healing faster

[@danh950]

With that parent control stuff I wouldnt be surprised if the mom, dad, son, date and gf never saw eachother before filming, lol.

[@jiminator904]

Look, Honey! Its the PunkRockMBA. He must have another youtube channel. I’m gonna ask for his autograph

[@kingschlamiel]

One I always wanted to be on was silent library lmao that one looked fun as hell

[@austins.2495]

Haha yea it did look fun

[@xCindyLouWhox]

I won a virtual meet & greet with Alex from All Time Low from my local radio station and asked him what his favorite non-music related thing the band has done is, like Silent Library for example. He said it’s definitely not that, it was brutal, he would never do it again lmaooo. He said their wine label is his favorite side project of theirs but probably just for promo lol.

[@ChainsawChristmas]

I love the on screen graphic that just says "Rubber Gloves" when they take them out of the spy kit.

[@RetroBrax]

need more glorious in depth content on the well that is the 2000’s aesthetic, this was a treat

[@wojciechrokosa1395]

We had a next drinking game and we overdid it so you got completely wasted in half an episode. A great success.

[@ryanaustin1492]

Don't forget VH1's "Celebreality" love shows. Like "Rock of Love". "Daisy of Love". "FLAVOR FLAVE!!! of Love" hahahaha!!

[@RWDPwr]

Was laughing the whole time, thank you for that! I wouldn’t mind a full hour long video to be honest

[@garrydhintz8017]

Next and parental control were great. Spike TV had a great comedy dating show as well.

[@TrophyDad117]

This helped me realize why I’m so mentally fucked. High school during this time did a number on my brain

[@tonytoofast]

In order to have clean balls, brush my teeth. Got it, coach!

[@seanstreck3226]

Just make sure you don't use the same brush 😬

[@andrewdominick1000]

I was just talking about these shows yesterday for the first time in i dont even know and then i see you doing this. Something is in the air.

[@austins.2495]

Good topic Finn 👍 thanks for the content as always!

[@real30yearoldboomerhours53]

High school scandals, stories, and pranks was great too. 8th grade me loved it and then got severely disappointed when nothing like that show happened at my high school.

[@HiroBrown]

These were the days! Parental control was one of my favourites. Always ends with either the parents or original partner pissed

[@flapjack413]

I can relate to the sleepwalking story. I was a sleepwalker when I was a really little kid. I had a wooden toy box with a hinged lid on top, and apparently, one night I got up, lifted the lid, and took a massive piss all over all of my toys. Bless my mother for the mess she had to clean up after me, lol.

[@indefenceofthegenre]

There was a UK MTV reality show that involved a bunch of bands battling out to get a record deal from Island and I can never remember the name of it. The band's from memory were a Rock band called Tokyo Dragons, an emo band called The Holiday Plan, a Post Hardcore band named Foolproof and a neon Pop Rock group called Portobello. It was actually quite interesting but I can't find it anywhere

[@K-nasty88]

God damn the memories this brought back.. such simple times lol

[@tonytoofast]

More of these please, Finn!

[@remakeyourself]

27:22 holy crap, Finn. You just nailed 3 details about the girl I was actually dating in 2005. That's insane.

[@luissosa320]

been having a terrible week/day, this video really put smile on my face, thanks alot Finn!

[@RobbieSuede13]

Back when MTV was fun to watch I seriously miss those days BTW that show Undressed from 1999 was awesome too

[@markshadows3667]

Pants Off/Dance Off on Fuse was the lowest point.

[@StuartHetzler]

I know a guy that was on one of these MTV dating shows. I don't remember the name of it, but it was one where they'd set two friends up to hang out and do all these activities together and at the end the girl would either agree to date the guy or not. The producers set it up like these two were longtime besties that did everything together, but the truth was he barely even knew her lmao. Also he got rejected.

[@EmilyCoffeyMusic]

We need more of this content please and thank you 💀🙏🏼

[@ashextraordinaire]

Dude I haven't laughed like this in the longest time. Thanks for making my entire day!

[@alt-tiztik]

When you said "lets see if Alison knows" I busted

[@vinboi8053]

You what

[@loganstrickler]

YOU WHAT

[@willrunriot]

YOU *WHAT*

[@shunsuikyoraku5428]

A NUT?!

[@cigareteking1882]

you WHAT????!?

[@koolklem7889]

Thanks for introducting shows I never knew existed 😅

[@MSHNKTRL]

1) 4:00 that ass-slap, tho - the Bro Vibe is Stronger Than All. Eddie in the pastel blue shirt has no fear & has no enemies; Eddie is true Chad Energy. 2) 6:43 After reviewing the footage, I'd say that the flash was an intentional wardrobe malfunction. 3) 26:00 Perhaps Kirk likes a dommy mommy to step on his head every now and then.

[@AyoWayo]

We demand more 2000s culture reacts. Best video of yours in a minute.

[@yanikotavov385]

0:20 ewww someone said Seltzer

[@sollamander2206]

Anthony on Room Raiders was a local promoter for the LI pop-punk/emo scene in the late 2000s-early 2010s. I saw him at an I am The Avalanche show a few weeks back.

[@triplesixmafia]

10:55 im talking with my mouth open i had no idea you're supposed to talk with your mouth closed idk how you even do that i hope eddie can teach me how

[@WilliamFalconer-kd2zn]

Who else can still text in t9x?

[@DrTabarnak]

I remember an episode of Next where they all ended up hating the chick so they just went back to the bus and hung out and talked shit about her. They wanted themselves to get nexted so they could come back to the bus 🤣

[@heavymetalweatherman7774]

Dude I saw Despised Icon open for Dying Fetus last year and I can absolutely confirm they still look like that.

[@android521]

Zack Merrick from All Time Low was on the dating show Exposed back in the day 😂

[@11Elleve11]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA my friend evan was on NEXT back in the day. He confirmed it was scripted af, and he got paid like $50 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@davidramirez4497]

Me and my wife started watching Parental Control on KZbin and having good laughs😂😂 Thanx Finn for reminding me of those shows👍

[@jkeprkr]

that phone is the quickfire, the one that literally caught on fire if you put the charger in wrong. that was my first touch screen phone

[@marcowo3226]

Now this is the type of content i NEED

[@lztrfilms8250]

I remember this one episode of Next where there was this tall guy who all the other guys kept saying that he his breath smelled like shit and as soon as it was his turn, the girl was taken aback by how tall he was and asked him to bend over and as soon as he breathed out she said "NEEEEXT" !!!

[@Uhh0684]

This shit is so funny I genuinely don’t understand how these videos aren’t as popular

[@kkm8149]

What a weird coincidence, the reason I get up in the AM is to hear you talk about MTV dating shows from the 2000’s

[@theeclecticlifewithsam]

I remember all of these. TV became very cringe and cheesy in the 2000s. Your commentary is spot-on for these, by the way. I have to mention Singled Out from the 90s. Best dating show MTV had! 😎👍

[@Magnumscrotus]

Yessssss dude endless amounts of content from this era to react to. You MUST do one for blind date from hell

[@ronaldguidry2256]

Upon watching this, I'm eternally grateful I missed this era of MTV. Just...groan.

[@Thrashkid97]

I love the episode of Parental Control where the boyfriend is wearing a Cruel Hand shirt.

[@deadbeatSad]

Next was insane bc whenever there was a gay guys episode, whenever there was only 4 of them chilling on the bus they'd start making out it was wild and woke af I loved it lmfao

[@brettbatliner]

Certainly not woke lmao definitely MTV producers telling them to do that for the views

[@babyGHOULLL]

Idk if I think it was woke. The producers had the guys play up gay male stereotypes and whatnot, but it was certainly refreshing to see gay romance on television - especially back then in the early 2000s. Next was definitely insane...

[@rejectscorner9939]

Woke?? Lmao

[@toga4900]

Whats your definition of woke? Just out of curiosity.

[@Vivi_9]

@@toga4900 nobody has an answer for this question haha

[@xVinnieCx]

I remember the Parental Control where there was a grind dude wearing an Ed Gein hat

[@heshrat666]

My cousin was on parental control back in the day. I can’t remember how she got on exactly but it was hilarious

[@JeffWrestledABearOnce]

Does anyone remember that episode of Parental Control where there was this scene kid who had a mustang? He had like neon lights inside his car and was like "if your B** wants purple, she gets purple...if your b*** gets pink, she gets the piiiink" At the end he got traded for another dude that the girl's parents chose? xD that episode lives rent free in my head and i dont know why lmao

[@jacetheace517]

I honestly thought room raiders might've been a fever dream because no one ever talks about it. Peak content

[@No-sr5fb]

That's so true about the busses/ vehicles lol

[@JennaIsOverIt]

I love mtv nostalgia

[@irishspagetti6565]

Ik what's sadder is probably none of this would be accepted in today's day in age especially the gay guy played off for laughs

[@generalismoGrosMichel]

Dr. Angee actually became a doctor and practices in Bellevue Washington.

[@brianpatrick6308]

Hilarious and original video about shows I never even knew about. Thank you for doing you.

[@RC-nj1by]

4:02 - Eddie slaps him on the ass right after the "I think you're a homosexual" moment and Finn didn't notice. lol

[@DrBdan8]

It always makes me laugh when Finn dunks on girls for driving an Alero because thats what my older sister drove back in the 2000s, though she was the opposite of the 2000a Fox racing baddy.

[@Dab_Marino]

01:56 suck it salute!! Totally the thing to do back then

[@friendlypirahna]

I never had cable so i had to settle for the local tv dating shows on my twelve inch 80s color tv with an antenna adapter

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

i'm going to be 42 later this year so this ticked all the boxes in the nostalgia feels list! @17:34 can confirm this to be pure facts if they have animal print sheets its wrap!

[@ChristianLemon]

The countless late night dorm room hours watching these shows

[@StuartHetzler]

RIP shifty shellshock

[@isaacnewby6738]

There’s an episode of next where the writer Matt Robinson got called by his producer buddy because one of the 20 year old dudes dropped out. It’s a clearly 30 year old man not giving a shit about even attempting to not get passed on. It’s incredible.

[@chancecole437]

Babe, wake up. Finn just dropped a 35 minute video about MTV dating shows.

[@diegomendivil7101]

Come on man, even if they are the same clips, I personally had a laugh at Finn’s commentary. Pretty enjoyable video tbh

[@Zambaev]

Pls make another episode of 2000 mtv shows, it’s beautiful

[@alexandersokolov4992]

HOLYFUCK! did the last show have Zebrahead's Back to normal pplaying in the background! Clear winner! like wtf!

[@slayabouts]

I forgot how many different dating shows there were back in the day and a little ashamed of how many of them I've seen

[@biglokofourtwenty8167]

I loved your content, please more videos like this so funny 😂

[@kylenorthington2647]

nailed it with the Kirk commentary

[@alt-tiztik]

Eddie was in it for the five dollar fifty

[@Bendingthetaint]

Omg!!! The time people thought the one dude was Dickie Allen! 😭😂😂😂

[@Caffeinated_Acrobat]

Literally just watched a deep dive on these last night and then today I find one Finn did 2 days ago! Wtf?

[@Dab_Marino]

In the 2000s I graduated, had a child, worked alot. Yup that's my 2000s

[@joshuaprietophoto]

MTV wasn't easy to access here in Australia so I missed most of these. Holy shit my sides they're awful haha. Bam Magera's wedding show was on a couple of channels and was equally ridiculous

[@germanpuszkarsky8124]

I watched this show when I was entering my teens and it was entertaining, today I watch this and say "why did I watch this? CRINGE!"

[@thomasbaldiscola4671]

Rock of love time! LOL

[@greengargoyle420]

Yes! He needs a video about all the vh1 reality shows

[@park3r61]

vh1 was crazyyyyy with the reality shows, we need the flavor flav one too 😭

[@jeffgerdau9436]

He did a video on Rock of Love on his other channel. But I agree I wanna see him talk about it here

[@markshadows3667]

Damn, tanning salon girl would've been my ideal at this time.

[@jasonholloway998]

Finn the powers that be are bringing back a show like pimp my ride! Yeah!

[@packnetadaija]

Yes they were but man those 2000s MTV dating shows were hilarious 😂😂

[@areuouthere2103]

1.) Next 2.) Is She really going out with him 3.) Parental control 4.) room raiders…I love emo/pop punk background music in all of these gems

[@Cozy.Mood.B]

Closure For Eddie! 2024 xDDD honestly, it's also the chat answers in the back 🤣🤣🤣

[@MISmotionimagesound]

00's was willllllld trash tv. More of this Sir Mckenty.

[@ShoelessJP]

If you remember 2000s MTV dating shows, please remember to take your prescribed ibuprofen for your back pain. All jokes aside, these shows were AWESOME.

[@djcj]

Probably my favorite Finn non music related video 🤣
