G4's New Show Dares You To Not 'Hurl!'

Posted by Patrick Roche-Sowa - Tuesday, April 29, 2008 11:11 AM

Hurl!, G4's new show designed to make you laugh until you puke, will debut this summer, proving that it's never not funny to watch someone lose their lunch.

So what exactly is Hurl! you ask? Well, picture a large party in a parking lot after dark. Stay with me. Said party is focused around five contestants, attempting to prove their iron stomach prowess. These five  warriors must each eat large amounts of a specific staple American food like Chicken Pot Pie or Mac and Cheese or Chili Dogs in a short period of time. The contestants that ate the most food and didn't regurgitate will then move on to a physical challenge. And no, I'm not talking about climbing a rock wall. I'm talking about nausea-enducing feats of bravery like strapping into a gyroscope or sitting down for a particularly sadistic tea-cup ride. I think you're starting to get the idea.

After that round, anyone who hasn't lost their lunch will then be forced to eat MORE, different food--Ambrosia salad, pumpkin pie, etc,-- while still keeping it all in. Then, the final elimination round steps the physical challenge up a notch, tossing in a rogue element of danger. One can only imagine. Hurl!'s release date hasn't been announced yet, but TheFeed predicts that sometime this summer you will be laying down friendly bets over a few beers with your peer group while watching men of similar age and background spew on national television. You're welcome.

Dude...

And not the good, congratulatory "dude...", but the bad, contemptuous "dude..."

Raging, rampant, industrial-grade dumb.

I wonder if this is the new show Kevin is developing?

Wait, is this a joke?
Do I need MORE excuses to stop watching G4?

great just contribute more to how dumb shows and acts make Americans look stupid. All of these food eating contests and videogames on food eating are so stupid. If I want to see someone HURL I can go out to the bars with my friends

I bet there going to have four hour long blocks of this show like they do with all of the other crappy shows they have.


I would normally do a (cough) name item here (cough) deal but not this time. When I say crappy show I mean Cops there i said it stop showing cops goddamnit i'm sick of that damn show being on every time i go to G4 while channel surfing

I remember when it was cool to say "hurl." You know...back in the early 90's...

Way to stay in touch with the demographic, G4...

yeah because the 3 hours straight of cops then the three hours straight of extreme videos isn't a good enough reason to turn the channel now we get to watch g4's version of jackass

Really?

*Scratches head, turns around, takes a couple steps back, and turns around again.*

Really?

*Turns back around, shakes head, stops, and turns back around.*

I mean...really? You think this is a good idea?

*Turns back around, begins to walk, stops, and sits down on the ground, hands on his head.*

I just...just...really? Of all the ideas you could think of...really?

*With his head hurting too much, Ted lays down and takes a nap, curled up in the fetal position.*

G4 has 3 original shows right? X-play, Cheat, and AOTS. One of those was better before G4 took over TechTV/ZDtv. Can you guess which one it was?

G4 has systematically slaughtered all that was good about the channel. They only play 2 shows that are about games. I thought the G in G4 was for Games. I've seen every Cops they play twice and Cheaters sucks. Ninja Warrior is ok once in a while, and the banzuki or whatever freaking blows.

G4 has no demographic anymore. I'd rather see cheat and X-play in reruns than the crap they are playing.

Hurl is going to suck. Hell, buy the rights to syndicate old SNL's. It'd be better than the crap on there now. How bought some cartoons, syndicate South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons, Anything. If you're going to play mind numbing stuff at least play stuff that's funny.

No one can figure out what your demographic is suppose to be with the programs showing.

Sounds like a winner! Umm instead, how about a reality show where teams of programmers compete to create a new video game. The g4 viewers decide the winner. Use the contacts you have with various game developers to get them to mass produce the game if it's decent ® .... sounds good? Naaaaa – Great now I have to go pitch it to that God awful Gore network.

Send that man a paycheck. He's pitching better shows than you are already planning to air.

I see they took it off the main feed page already. What a crock.

Come on G4, if you're bold enough to air it, you should be able to take the criticism on this.

Post it on up.
