If you haven’t heard of Flava Flav’s hot MESS of a television show, you missed the greatest moment of television, EVER. This had it all – violence, spitting, surprised camerapeople, another contestant laughing, ass-whooping, shoe removal and the incredibly bizarre spectacle of Flav actually trying to calm everyone down. This is what it’s come to, people.

A HAHAHAHAHA! I especially loved the digitally enhanced spit wad and the car crash sound effects at the end! It’s Jerry Springer meets The Bachelor!
At first I was really hoping that spitwad was real, but after repeated TiVo viewings, I came to the same conclusion you did, highbrow. How could someone possibly work up that big of a loogie on the spur of the moment like that? And how dumb is she? Spitting in that freakshow’s face and then turning her BACK? Hello, she’s lucky bitch didn’t rip out her hair.
NY totally would have ripped her hair out if Pumkin(!) didn’t crash into that camera man!
And what’s with Flav’s headgear?!
Oh my gosh. I don’t even know what to say, except for the fact that the “normal” contestant seemed to be enjoying the spectacle as much as I did. The shoe removal killed me, too- pity she didn’t get a chance to throw it!
I was hoping she’d also pull off her earrings, but she didn’t get a chance. Damn! I also loved her, “She accused me of being an aspiring actress. Which I am.”
You KNOW you’re not working with a full set of brain cells if you’re fistfighting over Flavor Flav. GROSS.
I’ve become a better runner thanks to that show! I can’t stand to get off the treadmill when it is on. What a train wreck! But I missed this episode—damn!
Lucky for you VH1 repeats things about 50 times a week!
Hip hip!!!
Ahem… THAT WAS FREAKIN AWEOME
I CAN’T EVEN SPELL IT, IT WAS SO AWESOME
Wow. Just…wow.
I have a student (male) who pulls off his shoe and brandishes it–with sincere indignation–whenever he gets worked up about anything–including characters in books! Needless to say, it makes me LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH every time he does it. That’s why this clip was really meaningful to me.
Oh, and the best part: That student’s name–no lie–is Bubba. Now picture Bubba taking off his sneaker and waving it around while talking about Bob Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird and I think you see the essence of why I love my job.
Max, that is beyond wonderful. How are you going to leave these kids?
Wait. They are competing to be wit Flav?
That expression Pumkin gets when she’s going down is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Perfection. Thank god for Youtube.
They are competing to be with Flav. I couldn’t think of anything more vile. As far as we can tell, Pumkin already had sex with him! The thought is horrifying.
I also think these girls believe he’s rich. Ha! Also? The reason they have names like Punkin and New York is because on the first episode, Flav didn’t want to learn their names so he re-named them. FANTASTIC.
OMG. I’ve never seen the show and reading the comments here, I thought highbrow meant people from NY would have kicked someone’s ass for doing the spitwad thing. Now I see that NY is someone’s “name”?!? Too much!
I hope he picks Hoops…she’s the best of the litter. I thought NY was insane until they showed her mom…whoa! But in the end will Hoops marry Flav? I mean, he’s got character & style galore (no question!), but he’s kind of..well..ew.
Hoops will win if she DOESN’T get picked. NY is from another planet, but she and Flav deserve each other. Plus, I’m sure VH1 could get another stupid reality show out of that fucked-up pair.
Oy Vey…So poor New York umm err lost? I guess thats what it was a loss. But poor Hoops my favorite…”won?” I had a hard time knowing what the prize was for the show but I guess she won Flav. New York (Tiffany) scares me. She’s from Syracuse a nice place with a bad rap. She doesnt help it any.
Had to ad on that word around Syracuse was
Syracuse has some pretty ugly Trannys and she proves it
i love to show and flav desires NY not hoops
