VH1's The Pickup Artist: The Most Douchetastic Show on Television?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:00:00 -0800

I really need to start watching cable again. VH1's The Pickup Artist starring Mystery (you may remember him from yesterday's If You Had To . . . challenge) looks spectacularly hilarious. The premise is simple: take some dorks and have a man who dresses like a "goth aviator" tell 'em the secrets to picking up chicks. (It involves a lotta cheesy pickup lines, wearing fuzzy hats, and sporting guyliner.) "Someday," he tells the cool-challenged fellows, "you're going to get so good at this, you will teach it to your sons." Ha! Something tells me Mr. Brian already has some tricks up his sleeve . . .

If You Had To...

It's If You Had To... Douches Wild edition! On your left, Mystery, the pickup artist who turns nice guys into douches on VH1's The Pickup Artist. On your right, good ol' Criss Angel. They have so much in common! They both wear lame hats, and they both perform tricks! So, you have to share bottle service at Tao in Vegas with one of these dudes. Who would you go out with (and make out with), if you had to...

Garbage men: what's not to love?

Steve Wood: Douchebag of the Day

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:00:00 -0800

Meet Steve Wood from VH1's groan-inducing new reality show Tough Love. He describes himself as a "master matchmaker" and says that you need him; I figure women need this guy like they need a hole in their heads. Describing single women with contempt as "desperate, delusional, and baby hungry," you'd have to be clinically insane to take this douche's advice. I'm pretty sick of this, "Hey, stupid woman, I'm going to insult you while pretending it's for your own good" trend in self-help. It's straight-up hatred, women. Don't take the bait! I bet he works in tandem with Mystery from The Pickup Artist who gives advice to players on how to play these women. Hint #1: Insult her - they like that!

What's the Worst Pick up Line you Have Ever Heard?

DearSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:00:00 -0700

It seems like some men just don't know how to be subtle anymore. While I find confidence and assertiveness attractive, a presumptuous and overly cocky man just makes me cringe. After reading an article about the new VH1 show, "The Pick-Up Artist" it made me realize that the days of going out with your girlfriends, just to catch up without being bothered by men are long gone.

This new show teaches 8 unlucky in love men how to gain self confidence in order to turn the women of their dreams into the women of their reality. It's an eight week boot camp to compete for the title of "Master Pick-Up Artist" aided by Mystery, the head honcho, and his wing men, Matador and J Dog. While it seems pretty astonishing that some men have a difficult time mastering the art of the pick up line since it is second nature to oh so many, ladies, tell me, what is the worst pick up line you have ever been thrown?
