How The “Ridiculousness” Writers Can Settle Their Strike with Rob Dyrdek

[@BasedHyperborean]

That show’s still being made? And requires WRITERS?! Lmaooooooo 🤣🤣🤣

[@GlennJimenez]

I’m not surprised that the show still exists in surprised there are WRITERS what are they writing??

[@utubeutubeutubeutube12]

Why do they have like 10 writers? You would think it would take 2 at most

[@New_Gaming_Chair]

I always thought since the jokes were so bad they were Rob's jokes. "Profesionals" wrote that stuff?!

My GF works for that show. No one there seems funny in any way, whatsoever.

[@layedbackthomas]

I do think it would be kinda hard to come up with jokes for a show like that though haha. like the 1000th time there is a falling down the stairs clip what do you say lol.

10 writers for that sure? What are they writing? Their reactions? lol. Fire them all

Rob, being the Hollywood maverick he is, proposed a payment plan involving golden skateboards and a personal Chanel west coast laugh track following them everywhere. The producer, wanting to add a touch of glamour, suggested they get compensated in virtual high-fives from celebrity holograms. It's like negotiating in a Hollywood dreamscape, where skateboards sparkle, laughter echoes, and contracts come with a touch of stardust!

@@portlandgoose4727 Dyrdek negotiated the entire way the show is made and he owns production... how the writers are being paid is really on him. I don't respect Dyrdek anymore than I respect Bill Gates, or a sweatshop owner. Being able to make money isn't admirable on it's own. Anyone can make money by exploiting others, the hard part is making money in sustainable ways that better the world, not suck the life out of it. Even if the writers were making the same as Dyrdek, I'd still fault him for how much his shows suck.

Bruh ..writing must be the most chill high paying job in entertainment business, let alone everything...I wouldn’t be surprised if the writers are just petty for money way before ever just appreciating the gift of an amazing job ( probably their dream job ).. show up..sit and joke around with friends all day is their job .. they probably spend more effort deciding on what business lunch they want for the day

[@ShowaRDMZeta]

You're not even off by an inch. That's exactly how it is. There's also "punch up" where you get paid just to add quips and comments for people to say off screen. The thing is though, this pay stuff has been going on since 2007/8. The amount of money you make off a show from Netflix is criminal.
