Ridiculousness Africa

Since the landing of Lip Sync one could only imagine what else from the international TV spheres can we bring to our shore, and Ridiculousness is your answer.

TV presenter, actor and reality star Thomas Gumede, also presenter and actress Boity Thulo will be joined by the notorious Nigerian comedian Basketmouth to host the African version of Ridiculousness.

The show basically a feed of crazy internet separated into categories and comments ridiculing the people in the videos by the hosts and usually a guest. The American version of the show is hosted by the main host Rob Dyrdek, co-hosts Sterling “Steelo” Brim and the blonde Chanel West Coast.

From what we see in the picture it looks like Thomas has received Rob’s duties of main host while Basketmouth will be controlling the videos on that little thing like Steelo does, and Boity well she looks like she’ll just be there looking pretty and attempting to be funny like Chanel(except Chanel is genuinely funny). You know us TV freaks will always complain and critique about the cast. Well yeah I’m about to do that now.

We don’t have a problem about the casting of Thomas and Basketmouth I think they are cool for their roles; my worry is the beautiful Boity. Chanel enlightens the show with her personality which comes across as blonde and we don’t think Boity can pull that off, she has been too serious for too long in her role as Mpho on Rockville and while presenting Club 808 on E.TV. We think they should have gone for someone who appears to be a little likes Chanel, someone who is not afraid to speak their mind and someone who the public will easily forgive should they say something really stupid. We don’t think the public is forgiving towards Boity; they got in frenzy all because she bought herself a beautiful home. Our suggestions of who should have gotten her place had we been asked we would have easily suggested Khanya Mkhangisa or Lerato Moloi.

Khanya Mkhangis because she’s pretty, small and very girly-girly (much like Chanel) and Lerato Moloi simply because of her commentary on 10Over10 she can be funny that one.
