Kenny vs. Spenny

Kenny and Spenny are two best friends who compete against each other. Their competitions are ridiculous, immature and totally intense.

To this day I can’t remember where or on what channel I saw it, or when that was, but I clearly remember watching some episodes of a show with two best friends pitting themselves against each other in stupid competitions, and the loser having to suffer a humiliation at the hands of the victor.  Colour me surprised then when on Reddit I came across a post telling everyone that all 6 seasons of the show had been uploaded to YouTube by one of the creators. Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice are the titular stars of this series, and this is probably not a show you’d watch with your mum. It’s not quite as full on as _Jackass_, but gets pretty close sometimes with some gross out moments.  Through the 6 seasons they have such battles as Who Can Stay Awake the Longest, Who Can Earn the Most Money in Three Days, First One to Use Their Arms Loses, Who Can Wear a Dead Octopus on Their Head the Longest, and as things devolve over time we even get such gems as Who Can Keep a Dump in Their Pants the Longest. It’s perfect late night entertainment! It does vary in quality quite a lot throughout, some episodes are hilarious, but others are not so interesting. At times it was less about who was going to win, but more about how Kenny was going to try and cheat his way around the rules. This is what made the show so popular over its runtime - the guys have such different personalities and approaches to the competitions that half the fun is watching the two of them try to not kill each other.  The show ran from 2002 to 2010, was nominated for many awards, and spawned a number of copycat versions in countries as varied as the UK, Colombia, Germany, and India.  As I said, all six seasons are available on YouTube on Kenny’s channel, so if you were a fan back in the day and want to relive the glory days, or if you’re in a pandemic related state of epic boredom, load these guys up and cover your eyes as the madness ensues.
