In season 1 episode 3 of Ridiculousness, we meet Chris "Big Black" Boykin, former co-star of the hit show Rob & Big. Big Black joins host Rob Dyrdek and co-hosts Sterling "Steelo" Brim and Chanel West Coast to watch and react to some of the most absurd, daring and downright ridiculous videos on the internet.
The episode opens with Rob introducing Big Black and discussing their time together on Rob & Big. The group then jumps right into the first video, which features a man attempting to jump over a car on a skateboard. As expected, the stunt goes horribly wrong and everyone can't help but laugh at the painful fall.
Throughout the episode, the group watches a variety of clips that range from people failing miserably at parkour to others getting hit in sensitive areas. Big Black, who is already known for his infectious laugh, can hardly contain himself as he watches these mortifying fails.
In one particularly hilarious clip, a man attempts to ride a bike off a diving board and into a pool. The plan backfires when the biker overshoots the pool and crashes onto the concrete below. While the video is cringe-worthy, Big Black's reaction is priceless.
The group also watches some clips featuring animals, including a cat who somehow manages to get stuck in a basketball net and a dog who gets startled by its own reflection. Big Black's love for animals is evident as he laughs and cheers them on.
Aside from the laughs, there are also moments of genuine awe and admiration for some of the stunts featured. The group watches in amazement as a man successfully completes a jump on a motorcycle over a helicopter.
As the episode comes to a close, the group watches a compilation of the worst falls and fails from the previous clips. Big Black, who has been laughing and joking throughout the entire episode, turns to Rob and says, "I'm surprised people are still alive after some of these falls." The group ends the show with a reminder of how ridiculous and dangerous some of these stunts can be.
Overall, Ridiculousness season 1 episode 3 with guest Chris "Big Black" Boykin is an entertaining and hilarious watch. The chemistry between the hosts and guest is electric, and the featured clips will have viewers laughing and cringing all at once.
