i’m in my mid 20s but i second this, especially regarding next. that show is how i found out people could do gay dating 🥺 meant a lot to super young baby gay me
Lines were fed I did an episode of parental control and the dad wanted me to hammer a nail. Did it fine and a producers voice comes on and says “do it again like you don’t know how to do it then say I’d do better at hammering your daughter”! Genius writing 😂
Hi Matteo! This is Jeff from the show hahah! I need to give you more context 😹 this was full scripted and I remember auditioning at MTV studios to even get on. I’m in SLC now and can’t wait to see you at your show. I messaged you on insta. Thanks for never letting me live this down!!! 😹 I am not as crazy as my hair is 😢
Boot-cut, stone washed jeans, sandals, popped-collar polo with a shirt underneath...this definitely gave me flashbacks to gay bars in 2003. I can practically smell the Abercrombie cologne wafting through the screen.
This is the type of unhinged messiness I miss from reality tv. Seeing Evan being slighted was satisfying, you definitely need to roast more early 00s reality shows
Omg !!!! Omg !!! You just gave me the total recall!! I was watching this in ultra conservative Catholic Poland as a teenager! I know it sounds ridiculous, but it gave me hope that there are places better for me. I live in the UK for many years now, being LGBTQ+ officer for 3 years of my university education, where I was fighting for our community! Thank you for sharing! Love it!
It always felt like such a treat, and I'd get so excited! Lol there really wasn't a lot of "gay" stuff on regular cable back then. I was _enamored_ when we got the higher tiered package for the first time that included Logo, and even moreso when we got a deal that included HBO and Showtime... 😂 Watching all the cheesy gay romcoms and the first season of Drag Race on Logo changed my life, and then seeing Queer as Folk for the first time on Showtime was a whole other level LMFAO
I used to love Next! I especially loved the people who would immediately call next for the smallest thing and quickly work there way through everyone on the bus and then get surprised when the producers told them there are no more contestants 🤣
OK, so the fact that you are calling Evan out on his bullshit is very sexy and he’s definitely not caring about any of like I think he probably thinks that he’s gonna get a whole bunch of money from MTV, but I’m pretty sure that never happened
Evan literally looked like if Will Ferrel and Adam Sandler had a gay child, I remember watching this episode as a gay kid and thought these guys are completely not it 💀💀
same! I'm only 24 ijn comparrison so i only peripherally remember celeb rehab type shoes that were this crazy. But i 100% found half then men very pedestrian looking compared to today and to then
Wait what? He "promotes for clubs, worships Gwen Stefani, and wears girl jeans" but then suddenly on the bus he "works at a Christian camp and does drama stuff"? What club is he promoting at 18, the school Christian pray around the flagpole club?
So, there was a “Christian club” in my town where they played dance music, had pool tables, etc. but didn’t serve alcohol and like you couldn’t wear anything too “revealing” in there. Maybe that’s the type of club he promotes? 😂
I remember being so shocked when guys on Room Raiders would automatically turn down a girl if he checked a girl’s underwear drawer and found undies that weren’t sexy. Hello! Women aren’t wearing thongs overnight while they are on their periods. Then finally there was one guy that said something along the lines of “I have sisters. I get it.” Now I know I shouldn’t have been shocked, but sometimes it’s the most obvious things.
I knew you were my people Matteo. I watched next, room raiders, date my mom, my super sweet 16. They definitely don't make shows like this anymore these were the days.
Please review Room Raiders! That show gave me so much anxiety the thought of a boy randomly rumaging through all the stuff in my room. The phrase "Boom! Panty drawer!" Is forever burned into my brain. Not sure if there were gay episodes but there probably was.
Like a Giant Sequoia, huh? So it's brown, uncut, points straight up, has a lot of foliage, 2 inch pine cones, a thick layer of bark that's fire resistant, & is rich in chemicals that keep away insect pests & prevent rotting.
Back in 2005, I actually had an afternoon hookup with a guy, and after we were done, he told me he was on the newest episode of Next airing in an hour. But for the "straight" next
Damnit Mateo I'm healing from a broken rib and I think I just re-broke it laughing so hard at this. My parting phrase with my friends is now "Bye bye Chewbaccaaaaaa!!"
I love how comfortable Potato is talking about his hair transplants. Too many famous people have work done and act like they didn't and then we all try to live up to their standards. Thanks Potato, for being real!
Matteo you mentioned your hair transplants a couple times this episode and I wanna say - I LOVE your hair, so the work and effort you’ve put in was definitely worth it from an aesthetic point of view imo 👍
Must be a horrible life, being so ignorant that simple interactions go over your head. At least I know my job will never be threatened. Can't lose a job to a younger generation if they don't have the degree. 100% more faith in teenage Gen Alpha than grown ass Zoomers
Omg!! Yes, please do more of these. I remember all of the shows NEXT, room raiders,Dismissed, Elimidate, etc.. it’s so much material for you to choose from lol.
Oh yessss It keeps getting better and better !! I LOVE that you did a review of this show I used to love it ! I don’t usually watch old shows back so seeing it today with a fresh funny review is soo good !! ❤ PLEASE continue doing this show and other retro reality tv shows !! I reccomend : 1 Girl 5 Gays (Logo) , Solitary (SciFi Channel) & I KNOW you remember Parental Control (MTV ) !
Omg more please, yessss. Literally watched these every day when I got home from school. There are so many and your reactions are everything. HILARIOUS 🤣
Being about the same age may justify me saying this but I could absolutely binge watch Mateo's watch-alongs of early 00's tv shows.
Right there with you.
100000%
Netflick needs to jump on that because same
Please. All of them. Room Raiders. Date my Mom…all of it
i’m in my mid 20s but i second this, especially regarding next. that show is how i found out people could do gay dating 🥺 meant a lot to super young baby gay me
“Terrified of food poisoning” -> “all raw food” this was a genius bit of producing.
I ran to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out lmao 😂 thank you !
I’m dying!!! 💀💀
"god may forgive you for being gay, but no one will forgive you for that haircut" has been in my meme folder forever, i love it so much
Gurl I haven't really gotten to that part yet, and when I saw the first sentence of your comment I was ready to throw hands LMAO 🤣😅
"My name is Sandra, I love M & M's, I have blonde hair, and I don't take no for an answer at Taco Bell." dying lol
"Helen Keller would call him a f....!" The funniest thing I've ever heard
I died 😂💀
Holy f'ing shit. I can't!
It’s just beautiful
The scream I scrumpt when he said that 😂
🤣

Lmfao 😂😂that is amazing but oh wow we were 12 watching these shows hahaha anyone in college at that point was already on The Office
Matteo please do a few more episodes like this, it was hysterical!
More!
seconding!!
Yes yes yes
I'm gonna need him to watch every season ASAP
I would love for him to react to the episode of Next that had Theo Von as a contestant!
We need a reunion for these guys. I really want to know where they ended up in life.
What you mean 'ended'? They are only 40 something now! They have plenty of time to find new boyfriend and move to the Frisco, hello!
@@sufyanlowel4631 … it’s a turn of phrase….
It’s like saying “we ended up going to the movies last night”. Doesn’t mean it’s the end necessarily
@@Globalastral5 lol weird that you have to explain this for the responder.. 😅

Hi Matteo! This is Jeff from the show hahah! I need to give you more context 😹 this was full scripted and I remember auditioning at MTV studios to even get on. I’m in SLC now and can’t wait to see you at your show. I messaged you on insta. Thanks for never letting me live this down!!! 😹 I am not as crazy as my hair is 😢
@matteolane bring Jeff on stage!!!
Gwen Stefani 😂😂
I believe him, his pic is with Gwen lol
This needs to be pinned!

The flip flops and jeans brought me back to a dark place 💀
Step dad or step uncle?

Hahha I feel your pain
We may not have had marriage equality, but we had shows like this. The early 00s were wild for us Ellgeebeetees
OMFG I'm using that
I'm putting that on my next stick on name tag. HELLO, I'm Elle G. BETEE
@@flenif2247this is a PERFECT drag name, I’m stealing it 😂
Early 00's was a golden era for everything imho
@@flenif2247Elle G. Beetee is just perfection lol
‘Helen Keller would call him a f*g’ 😂😂😂 That got me
"A Disney vilain from Albercombie"..This is why I love you!! That joke I quote made my day.
Please I am begging for more of these videos Matteo. I haven’t laughed so hard in a minute
Boot-cut, stone washed jeans, sandals, popped-collar polo with a shirt underneath...this definitely gave me flashbacks to gay bars in 2003. I can practically smell the Abercrombie cologne wafting through the screen.
And this is why I love the good old days of MTV. Uncut, unbiased, unabridged, no guidance. Just pure boldness gold
Oh, PLEASE more roasts of shows like this. They're hysterical
"why are they doing hair in a FIELD?" I'm on the floor
This is the type of unhinged messiness I miss from reality tv. Seeing Evan being slighted was satisfying, you definitely need to roast more early 00s reality shows
Yes!

It’s Chris losing his mind in the background for me 🤣🤣
Saaamme. Matteo was just too stunned to speak 😅
His laugh is super contagious! 😂😂 Gotta love Chris!
How do we know it was Chris?
Because Chris is his camera guy and the only one with Matteo when he films, unless he does an episode with guests
@@JessicaStoddard-l7k Chris Distefano? That Chris or a different Chris?
the daft punk digital love playing in the background as alex heads out on the date is ICONIC
I used to watch NEXT, Room Raiders, Parental Control, MADE, and TrueLife so I can catch a gay episode back in the day.
It always felt like such a treat, and I'd get so excited! Lol there really wasn't a lot of "gay" stuff on regular cable back then. I was _enamored_ when we got the higher tiered package for the first time that included Logo, and even moreso when we got a deal that included HBO and Showtime... 😂 Watching all the cheesy gay romcoms and the first season of Drag Race on Logo changed my life, and then seeing Queer as Folk for the first time on Showtime was a whole other level LMFAO
You just unlocked a cluster of core memories. I need to go back and watch all of these.
My afternoons for years! And with classmates doing homework made it so much better to watch 😂😂😂😂
Room raiders was insane he has to do some of those!
Ooh don't forget "Date My Mom" also a completely underrated classic, especially because supportive moms
I beg you with all of my heart… PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!!
I loved how they always put bottoms and bottoms together.
They all bottoms lol
What are you talking about
@@dunbass7149 you can tell all the guys on the bus and the guy Chris are all bottoms.
@@dunbass7149 I think he means feminine with feminine instead of feminine with masculine.
@@fathertime1056 ok ?, we aren’t straight
I used to love Next! I especially loved the people who would immediately call next for the smallest thing and quickly work there way through everyone on the bus and then get surprised when the producers told them there are no more contestants 🤣
It was the pause on the video the SECOND he said "african dance". This show was so goooood. They always did weird activities outside. more of this.
And it was always at the local SoCal park to keep the budget cheap as possible
I know the costume change 💀
Yea that had me scared...the early 2000s were a different time
I would watch 20 more episodes of this in one sitting.
I died with Mateos line "with 2 hair transplants, you'd better believe I'm ready for your wind"😅😂
Laughing right along with Chris haha
“These guys are trailblazers” 😂 3:49
OK, so the fact that you are calling Evan out on his bullshit is very sexy and he’s definitely not caring about any of like I think he probably thinks that he’s gonna get a whole bunch of money from MTV, but I’m pretty sure that never happened
I watched this when I was 14 years old at my grandma’s house because she was the one that had cable so this show was on MTV
I’m 36 and this was one of the best shows MTV had. It was absolute debauchery. I’m still living for the show.🎉
Matteo's face on "all raw food" got me 😂 I never watched this show, but I absolutely would keep doing these ride along watches with him
I think the bus took up 90% of the budget.
Hilarious video Matteo, thank you
Flava of Love, PLEASE!! Ms Tiffany Pollard is an Icon!
Yes and Rock of Love!
Evan literally looked like if Will Ferrel and Adam Sandler had a gay child, I remember watching this episode as a gay kid and thought these guys are completely not it 💀💀
Yaaaas
same! I'm only 24 ijn comparrison so i only peripherally remember celeb rehab type shoes that were this crazy. But i 100% found half then men very pedestrian looking compared to today and to then
I thought they were all hot
I forgot how unhinged early 00’s reality tv was, please please please do more of these!
Wait what? He "promotes for clubs, worships Gwen Stefani, and wears girl jeans" but then suddenly on the bus he "works at a Christian camp and does drama stuff"? What club is he promoting at 18, the school Christian pray around the flagpole club?
I’m pretty sure I read a fact somewhere saying they just made up random facts for people
I’ll let you know what happened haha
So, there was a “Christian club” in my town where they played dance music, had pool tables, etc. but didn’t serve alcohol and like you couldn’t wear anything too “revealing” in there. Maybe that’s the type of club he promotes? 😂
This needs to be a series immediately!
I am howling. I forgot how great this show was. Omg please please let this be a whole series of you watching and reacting to this show!!!
I remember being so shocked when guys on Room Raiders would automatically turn down a girl if he checked a girl’s underwear drawer and found undies that weren’t sexy. Hello! Women aren’t wearing thongs overnight while they are on their periods. Then finally there was one guy that said something along the lines of “I have sisters. I get it.” Now I know I shouldn’t have been shocked, but sometimes it’s the most obvious things.
The video I never knew I needed.
Hands down. Yes.
Yes!
Couldn't stop cry laughing through this entire video. That era feels like a lifetime ago.
Please do EVERY GAY EPISODE OF NEXT! This is pure art, and a great Sunday sermon. Luv u Matteo!
I knew you were my people Matteo. I watched next, room raiders, date my mom, my super sweet 16. They definitely don't make shows like this anymore these were the days.

You should make this a series. I could binge watch this 😂
Like a Giant Sequoia, huh? So it's brown, uncut, points straight up, has a lot of foliage, 2 inch pine cones, a thick layer of bark that's fire resistant, & is rich in chemicals that keep away insect pests & prevent rotting.
Sounds like the whole package
What's not to like?
Damn. I'll double up and pass on to the next person 😂 sounds like a lot of work.
Oh,you're one of those people...
Zoomers will make a joke out of everything unless it includes sexuality, then it's a scary No No
Your MTV roasts are giving me life! Thank you 👏
Back in 2005, I actually had an afternoon hookup with a guy, and after we were done, he told me he was on the newest episode of Next airing in an hour. But for the "straight" next
This was HILARIOUS!! Omg how I miss “Next”! MORE PLEASE!

I empathise so much. Recuperating from a rib too
Yall just a bunch of Adams😂
@@MrMdiaz84 I'm a McRib.
Please do more episodes like this! One of your best!
Totally genius. It’s super important this gets revisited today because the young queens need to know your gay history!
Love this!1!
Thank you for this video. I needed this today. My teenage years all over again. 🤣🤣
9:17 " My Mom and Dad don't know", so now that I'm out on national TV let's see if I can still keep up appearances. What the hell over!
😂😂😂Mom and Dad are also stupid!! Lmao or blind??? 😂😂😂
PLEEASE do more NEXT reviews. Make it a weekly thing. I LOVED that show and who better to do the recap than you!
Chris laughing and giggling made this 1000% funnier 😂
We were SO YOUNG watching this show. It had to have left some sort of impact on us. Completely ludacris 😂
I love how comfortable Potato is talking about his hair transplants. Too many famous people have work done and act like they didn't and then we all try to live up to their standards. Thanks Potato, for being real!
Matteo you mentioned your hair transplants a couple times this episode and I wanna say - I LOVE your hair, so the work and effort you’ve put in was definitely worth it from an aesthetic point of view imo 👍
The dancer guy already had someone wrapped around him, plus the guy getting back on the bus did not even ask why he was in his speedo. Lol
The whole exchange at 5:38 is THE MOST unhinged and I’m living for it 🤣🤣
Next, room raiders, and parental control all such great shows
Yes. Found my favorite series. I used to watch all of these shows after school and rewatching them with your commentary 😂😂😂😂 love it
Please do every gay LGBT episode of Next.
There was only one, and thank god for that.
My wife (from Brazil) had never heard or seen this show before, we spend an AMAZING afternoon watching all of the clips on UA-cam it was so fun
My roommates had to check on me twice while I was watching this, I started choking from laughing so hard. This was hysterical.
Currently jet lagged and extremely dehydrated and THIS. This video revived all the cells in my body
13:46 THATS THAT MEME!! So that's where it was from 😂😭😭
You Zoomers are so subhuman 😊

This healed something within me
I'm so glad you introduced this incredible episode to more people. People need to study this. This is art. More 2000's messy shows!
That was the most hilarious thing I’ve seen lately. The nostalgia is real.
More please. I was in my late teens early twenties and binge watched those unhinged car crashes of shows. LOVE this video :D
Matteo you need to keep this going, I haven't laughed this hard in ages, just absolute gold.
Omg please do parental control, dismissed ,room raiders , date my mom ! This is gold!
Please do more of these 00s shows. Your commentary and the editing are chef’s kiss!
This was great! I'd like to see more. Next was really wild but nobody can't deny it was the pinnacle of dating tv shows
More please!
WE NEED MORE!!! 😂
I love Janet!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This episode of Date My Mom had me absolutely in stitches.❤❤❤❤More please!!!
