Hey just a suggestion for a video, on a reality show called "The Swan" in 2004. Following the transformation of Ugly ducklings into beautiful swans. The show doesn't shy away from pointing out the person's unattractive features & flaws, making sure they know just how ugly they are. There's no way this show would be greenlit or even allowed to air on network channels nowadays. I've been subscribed since your first Chris Angel video, I'm a supporter from New Zealand.
Ayo Chris I think you’re so fucking funny dude I GATA know though DO YOU SMOKE WEED ?! I think it would be so fucking awesomely hilarious to get high together and meet you , I feel like our sense of humor is sooo alike and we would have a fun time bullshitting nd getting retarted high m I of course would supply the smoke too haha 🤣😂 I literally wish for that everytime I watch your videos now dude FR lmfaoo
The episode that stood out to me(going from memory way back when the show was new) was some dude who said he was Aztec, and really liked graffiti artwork. They tagged his car to look like a wall, but it looked like a truckstop bathroom stall, and they made some cartoon portrait of an Aztec god that looked like the mask dude from Crash Bandicoot. It looked so fucking ridiculous. I have no clue what tech they put in(probably obnoxious speakers that didn't actually work together properly and some pointless monitors too) but the paint job was fucking dog shit. One episode I actually did like(idk if it would hold up if I saw it today, probably not lol) was they did an El Camino for a dude who was into tailgating parties. They basically fixed up the bed of the car to have condiment dispensers, and a couple grills and a fridge(all shit that tbh is probably present at most tailgating parties, the exception being this dude now had it built into his car "allegedly"[as we all know everything was simply built to last as long as they needed for the cameras to pan across and show off]) I also recall a lady being into camping, Nad they had some stuff that iirc wasn't that far "out there" and probably didn't take too much for them to make functional, one detail being they got her a package with disposable "urinators"(basically funnels so she could piss behind trees without it dribbling all over herself)
Fun fact: some of the band members worked for MTV and that is how they got on the show, then they went on tour with it after the show, then sold it to MTV or someone affiliated with the show and got themselves a more practical ones. I post vids on what happened to the pmr cars and i successfully located 12 contestants that still have the car to this day.
@@momo1234567solo thank u I appreciate that will upload some here my main channel elevate without limits is back up after being banned so i will post there as well.
the way that Nate was just like “yeah…” when they asked if the band was gonna love it, you can tell that whoever painted that mural is gonna be pissed😂
the hot tub was the first thing I remember at the time thinking it was a stupid idea I was young enough when this show was on that I didn't know about insurance and didn't think of the logistics of some of the nutty shit they would put in cars but a hot tub in a van was a line too far for my child mind
I sometimes they removed things before giving the car back to the owners to be road legal. They may have removed the spa before giving him the van. A lot of it is just for the camera.
Yeah there’s no way driving with it full of water was feasible. Even if they left it in and used it at a rest stop the water takes almost a day to warm up.
The funny thing about all of it is the fact that the band definitely used his van to pile all of their equipment into to go to shows, and they just filled the back with a bunch of stuff, rendering it useless. LMAO
I came here to say EXACTLY this. You know he’s the only one with a vehicle big enough to cart all their gear back and forth to gigs. Now that the van is piled up with useless shit, they’ll have to all drive separately and try to squeeze amps and drum kits into 90’s era Toyota Corollas and Chevy Lumina’s, lmao.
Hey man I just wanted to Give You A Huge Thank You , You really changed my life. I am a recovering alcoholic (600+ days sober!) and when I was in the hospital getting sober I watched your videos during my breaktime and before bed and it really helped me get through one of the hardest times in my life. TH-camrs like yourself inspired me to make my own channel about my recovery so I just wanted to say thanks so much. Also you inspired me to start a stupid collection as well. I am trying to buy all the Saikyō Habu Shōgi N64 Games I can get! Thanks again Ky Sober Living
Congrats man on 630+ days clean, my 5 year anniversary I next week, keep doing what your doing it’s working I wish you luck in the days/battle to come @soberliving
This brought up the memory of my sister telling me she was college classmates with a guy that was on Pimp My Ride. He was the one that had the old bread truck. I remember my sister saying she never recalled seeing him driving the bread truck at all and was very certain he bought it from a salvage auction just to try to get on Pimp My Ride
that is possible he said he got it from the wonder bread company for $300 by that time the show was very set up and producers would feed them lines for a cool story so not sure. I have a present day update on the van and will cover it soon on my channel where i track down the pmr cars
“We gave you a massive stereo, and custom chrome wheels!” “You ever think *why* my van didn’t have even a basic $50 Walmart radio? Because it kept getting stolen! This van aint gonna last 5 minutes on my block!” 😂
Pretty sure they take all that stuff out after and if they didn't, hot tubs are valuable. A good one now is like 8-12k so if they put one in my van I'd be happy, that's a 2 week trip for free right there.
I'll never get tired of pimp my ride content 😂 I thought this show was the shit when I was a kid. Being older makes it slightly better because we can acknowledge the tire fire this actually was for everybody involved
Have you considered diving into the old vh1 dating shows like flava Flav? May I recommend rock of love? Then these shows would have contestants who didn't win get their own spin offs like I love New York and daisy of love. Then they ended up just doing a few seasons called I love money lol
i think my favorite part about pimp my ride is that no matter what, xzibit always consistently manages to look at LEAST like 20% out of place in evey single shot he stands in during this entire show. i mean even in the beginning of this episode, he looks like hes either an action figure or one of those inflatables they have outside dealerships.
I remember being skeptical when I first heard 9/11 was an inside job. Then I remembered that I used to think they actually customized the owner's car on Pimp My Ride.
@@arnold8746 Actually, the owners usually just sold a lot of the stuff or had it stolen. There's actually a number of pictures and stories from people who got fish tanks installed in their car where... well, there was no way to feed the fish or change the water so you can probably guess what happened.
I loved how xhibit would show up and the vehicle owner would be fully dressed shoes and all hair combed, makeup on and do the whole fake “what!?!?!? Me?!!?!??You guys picked me?!?”
Apparently the time frame of these episodes isn't what it seems. I read an old AMA from one of the people on the show, and he said they had his car for 6 months. 6. Months. They gave him a loaner while his ride was slooooooowly pimped.
Some were as quick as about 16 days. It got around the six month timeline in the last few seasons. I think partially to prevent people from selling before the episode aired. I'm covering all the vehicles. Got one in my garage.
WCC was a quick as 7 days, GAS kept longer partly because they had more cars and they didnt give them back until the episode aired to prevent selling before the show
I’m 28 years old and I still remember this episode. That hot tub will pop into my head at random times and it makes me wonder whatever happened to the hot tub van 🤷🏻♀️
I think it be really cool for Chris to find info on these rides after the fact. Like years later, a follow up on info online he's found with hopefully pictures. Think that would be awesome. Love your stuff!
he wont too lazy but i have found 12 contestants that still own and many more cars. Will be posting on this channel and repimping 8-10 wcc cars in the next year
Started as a personaly customized practical tour van that was pretty punk to an overly expensive impractical embodiment of a LA musician who's nearing that 1% status
Every episode is a brand deal. That's why we were allowed to see the Audiobahn logos on the audio equipment. That's how they get all of the items for these shows: everything is sponsored. If it wasn't sponsored, the show would be too expensive for MTV, all of the logos would be blurred out, and the brand names would never be mentioned.
Dude, even as a kid, with most of these episodes, I found myself wondering.. who tf is gonna use that?! I feel like it's like a built in stylus. You use it once when you first get the the phone, just to check it out. Then you never touch it again in your life.
“We’re throwing a jacuzzi into this van!” “Uh…are we doing anything for the suspension, engine, transmission or any other performance parts to account for the addition weight of that, not to mention the water?” “No. Next question.”
The best part is when he cheers before seeing what the rest of the van looks like, he just sees the front bumper and gets excited. He should’ve saved that energy for the hot tub or tv’s
Been watching since around 30k odd subs, always thought you deserved way more. Congrats on reaching 200k my man, keen to see what new content you have to put up. Much love from Western Australia
@@wordedsauce5580 a youtuber who post on pmr and actually shows what happened to the cars. I have 13 contestants that still own Nate sold the hot tub van
@@romcomrewindwithmike Yea but you're also insufferably egotistical and think shitting on Chris is how to get views. If your content is that good, you wouldn't need to whine about someone else's success.
The van on the outside actually looked real nice for an 84 with the new coat of paint. The tires are excessive but that's fine. Inside is so funny though
13:35 So I literally just read an article about this a few minutes ago, after seeing your video. Several people who were on the show came out saying their car was in the shop for up to six months, even though it looks like a few days. MTV paid for a few months of rental cars, but they had to pay for the rest themselves. They also got their cars back pimped up, but in the same bad mechanical condition it was in before that. Also, things like tv's and such that were added usually didn't work anymore after filming.
I'm doing a whole series on the cars. One is in my garage now. The show wasn't perfect, but was much more good than bad. The bad is always overblown on things like reality tv.
Just want to let you know I’ve been bingeing your content all week, and NO other TH-camr has ever made me laugh out loud like you do. Your humor hits my lil silly spot in the bestest way and I’m just grateful for your existence, young man. Stay awesome (& hopefully divinely blessed!), and thanks for the pure JOY you share-May it return to you in delightful & unexpected ways (aka keep winning the karma algorithm!). 🤗
Dude!!!! When I saw the Ford GT, I though he was going to “pimp it” and my heart sunk to my stomach like I actually felt sick they would destroy such an icon
In the early 1980s I saw a car magazine featuring custom vans. They had everything from the requisite waterbed, shag carpet [floor, walls, ceiling] and chrome welded chain steering wheel. The …a’hem… “Best” one had a semicircle couch [covered in Faux Fur, of course] with a crystal Chandelier/Fountain combo thing in the middle of it. 🤩
@4:24 I used to work 10 hour shifts in a die cast facility. We needed earplugs in at all times, *and* we couldn't have phones on the floor because of a bunch of defense and business contracts we had. *10 hours* of nothing but muffled machine noises. I felt numb inside. It was awful. But, for some reason, I was able to fully let go of a lot of resentment and problems I was having during that time. The silence allowed me to think, at least.
I was in my late teens early 20's when this show aired and now that I think back I can't even remember one Xizibit song. I remember he was unfortunately in that one X-Files movie though. 😅
Fun fact, the show would actually slightly trash their cars for the before footage to make it more impressive. You'll notice the bumpers unscrewed to the point of dangling on a lot of them. Any modifications that conflicted with traffic laws were removed after filming. A guy named Seth from season 4 was actually forced into embarrassing his grandparents by the producers who introduced his car as "An undrivable monster" littered with trash by his "cigarette addicted grandmother" but the cigarettes were planted by the show and Seth claims he was forced to present their fabricated backstory about his grandmother to get the car modifications.
Even sue this show first came out I couldn’t remember any of his songs. Pretty sure he got lucky and the show got popular which did more for him than his rap career.

Nothing will ever beat the girl who had an mri machine cause the crew heard she was a nurse and went with it
She was fired from her job right before that I think.
Don't hate the MRI machine is so useful...Ya..
Aren't those like multi-million dollars expensive?
@@brutalbasspro yea she got fired but was trying to become a traveling nurse. But the mri machine was just a spot to lay while you listen to music

A huge amount of water in the very back of the van... next to a couch, a TV, and a giant mixer.
That'll never go wrong in LA traffic. Totally safe.
Don't worry, they took all that crap back after filming.
@@arnold8746 Where did you see that they take all the stuff back after filming?
Im pretty sure youre not supposed to drive with the tub filled..

@@Thiefnukerhave you met literally any early 20s single guy because I know a few that would say " no I think it'll be fine"
went from a mural of "Ciggerette" to straight up looking like a pack of Marlboro Reds. The beast is officially the cowboy killer now
It is the Marlboro Man coffin machine
I legit scrolled back to see if they misspelled cigarette on the van bc of this comment. They did not.

These vehicles they pimp are awesome when finished but imagine having to to maintenance on it... have to go to WCC for pricey repairs.
Dude!!!! When I saw the Ford GT, I though he was going to “pimp it” and my heart sunk to my stomach like I actually felt sick they would destroy such an icon
My favorite TH-camr at the moment. Chris and Simon. Simon is the guy from the casual criminalists and like 6 other channels
In the early 1980s I saw a car magazine featuring custom vans. They had everything from the requisite waterbed, shag carpet [floor, walls, ceiling] and chrome welded chain steering wheel. The …a’hem… “Best” one had a semicircle couch [covered in Faux Fur, of course] with a crystal Chandelier/Fountain combo thing in the middle of it. 🤩
Oh my god, the Babe VHS in the background during the Drift Ad freaking SENT ME 🤣
@4:24 I used to work 10 hour shifts in a die cast facility. We needed earplugs in at all times, *and* we couldn't have phones on the floor because of a bunch of defense and business contracts we had. *10 hours* of nothing but muffled machine noises. I felt numb inside. It was awful.
But, for some reason, I was able to fully let go of a lot of resentment and problems I was having during that time. The silence allowed me to think, at least.
I was in my late teens early 20's when this show aired and now that I think back I can't even remember one Xizibit song. I remember he was unfortunately in that one X-Files movie though. 😅
You’re underrated asf pure comedy
Fun fact, the show would actually slightly trash their cars for the before footage to make it more impressive. You'll notice the bumpers unscrewed to the point of dangling on a lot of them. Any modifications that conflicted with traffic laws were removed after filming.
A guy named Seth from season 4 was actually forced into embarrassing his grandparents by the producers who introduced his car as "An undrivable monster" littered with trash by his "cigarette addicted grandmother" but the cigarettes were planted by the show and Seth claims he was forced to present their fabricated backstory about his grandmother to get the car modifications.
The "I don't know how to do that effect" made me 😂
Even sue this show first came out I couldn’t remember any of his songs. Pretty sure he got lucky and the show got popular which did more for him than his rap career.
I would absolutely love to hear this dude's punk rock band.
I remember I bought those plastic spinners from Walmart for my 1990 mercury topaz because of pimp my ride.
I love that you moved the VHS so it was still in frame during the ad~
THANK YOU for mentioning Loaded Diaper. We were all thinking it 😂😂
Chris your ad transitions are a work of art. 2:30
“Look over your shoulder - another tv!”
“Grandma…?!”
I wonder how many people bought their car at like 1,000$ then sold it after the episode for like 10,000$
Bro that Kenwood sound components is freaking amazing
Ok we all needed this thnx for that fire ass hilarious content keep doing you
I laugh because he was probably like "where the hell do I put all my band's stuff now"
Cigarette as a band name is fantastic
