THE PAPDITS

Possibly the funniest show not to air on T.V.
I hope to god this show gets broadcast at least once. It shows how stupid reality T.V. is.
It also proves Americans are truly the most horrible people on the planet.
It is scripted mock reality.
Its the Spinal Tap of reality T.V.
Aint nothin' better than making fun of foreigners!
My brain says hate it yet... I still laugh?
Go figure?



Sadly this clip was the only thing I could find online. I found it at the website of the guy who created the titles. You can see his other concepts by clicking the title of this post.

It's about an Indian family that is supposedly immigrating to the U.S. and driving around the country in an RV to find a new home. The Indian's are actually all actors, but the unsuspecting yokels they come across in small midwestern towns have no clue. A bit mean spirited, in my personal opinion, because it makes white Americans look like idiots. (Surprise!)
Not to mention reinforcing stereotypes about greedy and naive foreigners.

Its an interesting subject, this "reality" tv concept is becoming a juggernaut.

Yes a stop-gap idea when the writers strike was in effect seems to have taken over T.V. Sad really.

Sounds like a variation of Ali G's Borat schtick.

CBS has just posted the full pilot episode to their Innertube site - http://www.cbs.com/innertube/

And to the person who commented that it sounds like a variation on Borat - that would make some sense since it was created and written by one of Cohen's co-writers on Da Ali G Show and the Borat movie.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that CBS posted this pilot the day after the weekend that the Borat film was an unexpected smash success at the box-office...
