I remember years ago I saw a video of some fat kid rapping in front of his computer. I found it mildly amusing. Well, he created more videos. It turns out that he was a big hit in some parts of the web. So was Hamsterdance, but that died soon enough. The kid would meet the same fate just like all the other one-hit wonders of the internet. Well, not quite. His name is Andy Milonakis and now he has his own show on MTV.
The Andy Milonakis Show is the worst piece of junk that MTV has ever put out. Some of MTV’s programming may not be all the great, but this is terrible. I can’t believe I am seeing something of this caliber on television.
That is not even the worst part. Andy got a big break and we all should be happy for him regardless of his skills. Whatever. So what’s the problem? A big part of the show revolves around him interacting with old people. The idea of putting a young boy and a senior together makes for better comedy. Actually, the entire show is based on stupid crap that the fat kid does.
What most people don’t immediately realize is that Andy Milonakis is no junior high schooler. He is 29, a fact he hides knowing it would mar his image. He claimed he was “between 10 and 30” in a recent interview with USA Today. How clever.
Further research reveals more information. In 2003, Andy admitted he had some sort of a growth-hormone medical condition, clarifying it was not “any liver or kidney disease like Gary Coleman.” While Gary Coleman has been trying desperately to transcend his adolescent image for much of his life, this punk takes advantage of it. Seeing a 13-year-old make a fool of himself could be comedic. Seeing a 29-year-old pretending to be 13 is just sad.
