Reality Central

I'm loving the new set of faux reality TV commercials that are appearing on Comedy Central. The ads, which air at the beginning and end of The Daily Show, Chapelle's Show and the like, depict a "new reality show coming soon" that has some Can-This-Be-True? premise. The joke of course, is that they're not and at the end they show the tagline "get real" and the Comedy Central logo. My favorite "ads":

Joe Mormon (where a polygamist bachelor gets to pick four women to marry)
Handicap House (a Real World filled with all kinds of disabled people)
While You Were Drunk (where contestants get wasted then hook up with strangers)
Really Blind Date (which is just Blind Date with actual blind people)

The sad thing is, these premises are actually plausible given what's being put out by Fox these days. If only Comedy Central would do another season of their hilarious reality spoof Contest Searchlight.
