Bad Show, Stupid hosts, misses opportunity to teach safety, bad examples
To whom it may concern, I am writing you to express my displeasure with your new show "Dude what would happen'' After watching one show with my son, I have banned him from watching this show and have pointed out to him that the show represents stunts that no-one should watch, much less try or even consider. I am shocked that you would allow very young men "who appear mentally unstable themselves" to work with high dangerous weapons such as flame throwers, hurricane generators and the like. I was stunned when you allowed them to put popcorn in a mailbox and shoot a flame thrower at at, and even more surprised when you put the popcorn in a trailer and put flame throwers on it, and you allowed it to catch fire. The show does not teach proper behavior, and it encourages those who would attempt such stupid stunts themselves not realizing the danger that could quickly ensue and the dangerous position that could put themselves or others into. In short, I and my household demand that you pull the show from your line-up. Again, flame throwers, hurricane generators and the like to not belong in the hands of young teenagers especially those who are on the show. Furthermore you no not teach safety and you only mention to your viewers to not try this at home sparingly throughout the episode. Again, the show does not do anything to teach safety to the viewers, and it depicts stunts done by teenagers which are highly dangerous and in some cases can bring about great bodily harm or even death. This show is irresponsible and should be removed from the air immediately. D. Cooper II Charlotte, NC

Good show!
For those of you complaining about the stunts that kids could imitate, most are innocent and the show has a warning that some stunts don't want to be tried at home before the show. I like the show and so does my five year old sister.

"Dude, What Would Happen" is pure junk TV.
I actually watched a full episode of this garbage for the first time the other day with my son. I am astounded that this show is on an actual cable network and not relegated to some niche corner of Youtube. The premise of the show is to apparently give hyperactive, dullard teenagers a TV budget and let them perform any foolish bit of nonsense they can think of, all of which is acted out under the guise of a heavily scripted "reality show" theme. This show deliberately misses just about every conceivable teachable moment you can think of in something that could easily be a fun and informative science format. Instead of someone explaining the hows and whys behind each "What would happen" scenario, there is no substance other than the wanton destruction and havoc of out of control teenagers with a lot of money to burn and nothing but time on their hands. This is a bad show that the modern day unsupervised child will only end up emulating at one point or another, much to a parents chagrin and expense. It is banned in my home and I strongly recommend you do the same. If you want to see partially retarded teenagers destroying things, just go down to the mall.

Stupid show
This show is terrible. The hosts is obnoxious and the whole thing is just pointless. I hate reality shows and I hate reality shows aimed at kids even more. This is pure garbage that caters to the lowest of the low.

The violent content is mild. The language is pretty strong for something on CN(tons of OMG's).

The term "I swear" was used by one of the kids in the show. Waste of food. NEVER a good thing to do. Not sutable for my 7 or 5 year olds.

Wastful and uninpressive.
Shocked at how much food is being wasted. No actual educational value, although the "gadgets" are ?interesting?.
