Among the best spin-offs of the show Ridiculousness
Hilarious
What's the Story?
MESSYNESS is a reality series that features reality celebs discussing the messiest moments of their lives. Host Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi leads a panel of personalities including Olympian Adam Rippon, comedian Teddy Ray, and 90210's Tori Spelling talk about some of the chaotic and tangled moments in their careers and in their personal lives. They also spend time sharing their thoughts about viral internet videos featuring awkward, difficult scenes taking place in other people's lives.
Is It Any Good?
Each episode of the vapid Ridiculousness spinoff features a panel of B-list celebs sharing some of their their worst moments over glasses of wine in hopes that viewers can identify with their humanity. But most of Messyness is dedicated to showcasing a range of streaming internet clips that are full of silly, obnoxious, and risqué behavior. It's not meant to be taken seriously, and unless you like watching viral internet videos, you probably won't find much here.
