First Impressions: "Adam Ruins Everything"

Written by Shae

Do you  guys ever just get overwhelmed with life, and suddenly you’re like “what even”? I do, often as of late, so one of my ‘go to’ things to escape is TV. I have to genuinely admit that I am not even sure how this show happened into my life, other than the YouTube factor. 

If you’re familiar with College Humor than you probably already know about Adam Ruins Everything. Apparently this is now a full half hour show on TruTV and…..I may have binge watched every episode ever, except for this weeks.
If you’re a nerd and a geek and like facts and knowing stuff, this is the show for you. It kind of reminds me of a Nerd Nite moment, and I think that is utterly fantastic. The whole point of it being that Adam ‘ruins’ things by giving us actual facts and statistics that we otherwise wouldn’t know. I say we, because, well, guys, I didn’t even know a lot of this stuff. 

Like the fact that mouth wash started out as a floor cleaner, or that restaurants in America cut wages and caused customers to tip because prohibition devastated profits for their business. Literally, we tip today because back in the day, owners couldn’t afford to keep paying their staff. Back then, tipping was considered a bribe and no decent waiter would accept such a thing. Now, well, the practice of tipping is bigger than ever.
 
The various episodes cover an array of topics, and to make it better, there are still some shorts on the College Humor YouTube channel. I can see why this show happened. To say I’m hooked, amused, and impressed, well that’s a bit of an understatement. I really have been enjoying it though. Which, you know, I had to tell you guys. Now go! Watch! And then come back so we can talk about it…
