Parting Shot: We Defy You To Get Through The Entire Trailer for 'King Of The Nerds' [Video]

▌▌▌▌▌▌ I just got paid $7500 working off my computer this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $8k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, ►►►►►►WIKI25.COM

Great reality show. No actors involved. Real nerds in action.

Seeeemed like they were actors. Not good ones, but actors nevertheless... Though I guess that doesn't make it any better, does it?

just why? also, why are people so obsessed with labels!? i do really hope they are just actors. either way, it surely can't be real. but then, America :P [i can say that i'm welsh]

There is more to "nerd culture" than comics and video games. My question for the show is what about a sports nerd(fantasy football baseball etc...) or reenactments.? Or television? or the movies? Comedy? Nah it looks like they are going to go for the stereotypical and obvious and not try that hard. Another question that needs to be asked is: "Is this real?" They could be all actors.

I watched it and my main thought was: sweet suits of armour. I wonder if they got to keep them?

Well, my first observation is that this apparently makes American Idol look like Citizen Kane.

But more importantly I'd like to ask this: when are people going to admit that nerds in the traditional sense no longer exist? The Avengers grossed a gazillion dollars, Word of Warcraft has 8 million+ subscribers, Tolkein's works are a major movie franchise and people line up overnight to buy Apple products. "Nerd" hobbies aren't marginal anymore, we're the mainstream.

And not even a single chuckle was given.

This is nerd black-face.

Real nerds should be insulted by this type of depiction of nerd culture.

If you look past the show's framing, you can tell all those contestants are genuine and thought this show would be a fun, affirming celebration of their culture. Then it goes through editing and comes out as something clearly all about making fun of them for their eccentricities. It's pretty sad.

Casting calls for reality shows need to be treated with the same scrutiny as phishing scams. They want you to believe they're looking for the best, but they're only looking for the most gullible.
