PURCHASE THE DVD: Lost Reality (2004)

National Lampoon has a reputation for outrageousness, and their 2004 direct-to-video spoof of reality shows is about as twisted and brazen as you'll find. I'm one of those that think reality shows are total garbage, not to mention totally staged and unrealistic, but I will admit that the contents of this movie left me rolling on the floor.

Supposedly, the film is a compilation of vignettes of episodes that never aired, and were sent to National Lampoon in reponse to a call for submissions early in 2004. I personally suspect some were staged just for the movie, but either way, they get the point across.

Episodes include segments of Amazing Racist, where a racist purposely offends minorities to see if he gets the crap beaten out of himself, The Whore, where guys who think they are on a dating show are interrupted in the middle of sex to be told that the woman is a prostitite (who then tells the audience what a crummy lay they were), Casting Couch, where women are convinced to read plots for scripts not containing nudity - in the nude, Caught Stealing, where contestants must steal things without getting caught, American Porn Star, where contestants compete in front of the all-porn-star judge panel, Take That Drug, where contestants binge on drugs until the last person stands, and several other equally outrageous segments.

Totally gross, crude, immoral, offensive, inappropriate, and oh yes, funny. Even if none of these were real, they make a point and they make you laugh.
