Pimp my Ride UK sucks. The giant 40 year old white guy talking street host sucks (and only seems to come off as a rude prick when he tries to bring his tired ass corny jokes). The washed up, no talent, over 35, garage crew, sucks. Their 80’s hairstyle’s, suck. The mods, suck. The fact that the car in every episode is a tiny european hatchback, sucks. The shop owner’s huge motherfucking nose, sucks. The fact that they use the same theme music over the same intro with the same american cars and then tack a “uk” on the logo, sucks.
The UK version does little else but prove that the US version is complete and utter genius and that in the UK, people can keep a straight face while a 40 year old white guy flails his arms and uses words like “banging” and “bling” with absolutely no inflection. The UK doesn’t have a rapper with with nothing to do during the day that can host this show? It’s not like they’re recording songs. I can’t remember the last time I’ve even heard an english rapper let alone seen one. I guess any rapper that would lose out on a hosting job to a 6 foot tall, 150 pound, 40 year old white guy wouldn’t have helped anyway.
