MTV's Next Was the Funniest Dating Show of All Time
“I get freaky on the court, the dance floor, or any hard surface.”
This is how Next would begin.
A contestant, one of 5 sitting on a bus, would walk out and say something ridiculous.
A graphic would show three ridiculous “facts” about that person, like “had sex in a model home while it was being shown,” and then the blind date would commence.
The guy or girl waiting outside the bus knows there are 5 potential dates on the bus.
When he or she is sick of a contestant, saying “Next” ends the date and the next contestant comes out.
This led to hilarious situations including guys and girls getting instantly nexted.
But wait, there’s more.
At the end of the date, when the person choosing finally selects someone, whoever they are on the date with can take a cash prize instead of a second date.
If someone’s on a date for say, 60 minutes, he can choose $60 instead of a second date.
More hilarious fun.
Here’s what an episode of Next was like.
How MTV went from high comedy like this to whatever they do now, the world may never know.
