We all know that reality TV can be a bit ridiculous, but these shows took that to the extreme. If these are the ideas that made it to air, I'd hate to be present during a brainstorming session.

fail funny ridiculous Television weird tv show Reality TV Non-Premium

1. Penitents Compete (2009).

This show consists of an imam, a priest, a monk and a rabbi who are competing to convert 10 atheists to their religion per week. It fell apart when the Turkish Caliphate wouldn't allow the imam to participate in the show.

2. 'Susunu! Denpa ShÅnen' (1998).

This reality show included numerous challenges like living alone naked and alone in an apartment, being locked in a room with only a TV that aired sports all day and living solely off of commercial sweepstakes. If you favorite team won, you'd be allowed food, but if they didn't you just had to starve.

3. Gaki no Tsukai (1989-present)

On this show, every wrong question costs you. You'll have to smell a man's butt and/or genitals and they're placed directly in your face.

4. All My Babies' Mamas (2013).

This show featured a rapper named Shawty Lo who had fathered 11 children with 10 different baby mamas. So, what was the point of this show? To throw them all into one house and see how they managed. Luckily, the NAACP intervened and Oxygen eventually cancelled it before it aired.

5. Megan Wants a Millionaire (2009).

This show featured an ex-Rock Of Love contestant named Megan Hauserman who was looking for a rich man. The show was cancelled after only three episodes after discovering that one of the contestants had murdered his ex-wife and thrown her body into a suitcase. Wow.

6. The Swan (2004).

Contestants on this show were provided with a therapist, coach, trainer, dentist, and cosmetic surgeon. The goal of the show is to transform from an "ugly duckling" into a beautiful "swan." It actually had two seasons before being cancelled due to the bad message it was sending to children about their appearances.

7. Welcome to the Neighborhood.

This socially unacceptable took non-rich and non-white families and attempted to assimilate them into an exclusively rich white suburban community in Texas. It was canceled due to sponsors pulling out.

8. Mr. Personality (2003).

The concept of this show wasn't weird, except for the host, Monica Lewinsky. The show consisted of men competing for the heart of one woman, however she wasn't able to see their faces or learn anything about what they did for a living.

9. Man vs. Beast (2003).

This was just that...men competed against animals. Can you imagine who won when it came to seeing who could climb a tree faster? Man or a monkey? You be the judge.

10. Mars One (2024)

This show that hasn't aired yet will show what life on Mars is like. The Mars One trip costs about 6 billion dollars and it's believed that most of those funds will be taken care of via global reality TV.
