Mtv Pulls The Plug On 'Ridiculousness' After A Wild 46 Season Ride

MTV Bids Farewell to a Longtime Favorite

After 15 years on air, MTV is saying goodbye to 'Ridiculousness', the viral video show that’s been a staple for many viewers. Known for its endless marathon episodes, it seems like you could tune in at any hour and catch host Rob Dyrdek cracking jokes about the latest internet antics. But come 2026, that marathon is set to end, with the network announcing that production has stopped on this cultural mainstay.

"It's been an incredible ride, but it's time to move on and explore new territories," a source close to MTV shared with Hollywood Reporter.

A Shift Towards the Unpredictable

MTV's decision to conclude 'Ridiculousness' aligns with a broader strategy to pivot back to their roots, aiming to bring back the eclectic and experimental vibes of their early days. The network seems eager to shake things up and explore a fresh direction that harkens back to the unpredictable and innovative spirit that put MTV on the map in the first place.

What's Next for MTV?

While 'Ridiculousness' prepares for its final curtain call, MTV fans can still catch some of their favorite shows. For now, series like 'The Challenge', 'RuPaul’s Drag Race', and 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation' remain part of the lineup. These shows continue to capture the audience's attention, contributing to MTV’s reputation as a channel that is both entertaining and unpredictable.

As the sun sets on 'Ridiculousness', viewers are left wondering what new surprises MTV has up its sleeve. One thing's for sure: the channel is ready to embrace change with a SoCal summer energy that captures the lively essence of its home base.
