Set to round off MTV’s new “Balls Out” Comedy block is Silent Library, a stunt show with a twist. Keep quiet! Videos and a series description ahead!
Below is MTV’s description for the series, which will air following Is She Really Going Out With Him? weekdays on MTV starting Monday, June 15th (6:00 PM ET/PT):
“The word library usually conjures up late night memories of cramming for an exam or putting the finishing touches on a lengthy paper. For some, it might even drum up the high school pranks that, much to their parent's dismay, landed them in detention with their friends... yet again.
Rarely however does the word library become part of the title of a new MTV show that has been described as "Jackass... set in an enclosed environment." Modeled after a Japanese game show, Silent Library will represent a new breed of competition format that will feature six friends, all vying for a cash prize, forced to impose unimaginable, beyond hysterical stunts on one another. With stunts ranging from brushing one's teeth with wasabi to having your face held in the path of "the slapper" (a gloved hand that rotates on an automated machine) it will be obvious to viewers that remaining silent is much easier said than done.
With only one guiding rule -- to remain SILENT, MTV will show viewers that just because you aren't heading into the Gauntlet or facing off in a Duel doesn't mean that the stakes aren't high, that the stunts aren't real and that the competition isn't fierce. Never has the MTV audience sat through a study hall, Saturday detention or cram session in a library quite like this... Tune-in Monday through Thursday at 6pm.”
This show looks so stupid that it could actually be funny. I watched the video (below) before reading the premise and at first, didn’t get what the joke was. Oooh, a wedgie. Hilarious. But then I realized that the kid was enduring this all while trying not to make a sound and suddenly I was almost laughing. Almost. It’s still a kid getting the worst wedgie I’ve ever seen but aren’t these kind of stunts what the kids love? Jackass was pretty successful after all. And having to go through it without making a peep does make the stunt more of a challenge.
