Adam Ruins Everything

[Darren Dirt]

...I really enjoyed the handful of those video shorts @ College Humor.

Didn't know that later on TruTV picked up a half hour show version of it!

At first I thought this was about Bioshock!

This is pretty much "Penn & Teller: Bull@%&#!" but without being so agenda-driven as it so often was. P&T often made you feel "talked down to" (because we're often stupid, so hey it's deserved right! ) but Adam's approach is more like a "hey did you know that..." type of buddy-buddy delivery tone imo.

heck, just the "food bank" topic is covered in a simple, and amusing, but very eye-opening way! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbYInILDj6Q

(also, Adam includes a SOURCE on-screen whenever he shares facts -- chew on that P&T! )




I like that Adam is being interviewed by Reason.tv here -- since really at the core his "ruining" of things is just a mainstream-accessible method of showing how easy and useful it is to apply true skepticism to the world around us. 
@ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooaMfGu-qUk#t=6m43s he really sums it up, the "mission" of this show, in a way. "QUESTION EVERYTHING"
