I'm Not Here To Make Friends, 2009

Last year, Genuine Videogum Friend Rich FourFour made a supercut of everyone on reality TV delivering the genre's Official Slogan: "I'm not here to make friends." Now, a whole year of reality TV has gone by, and it's like Sawyer always says "I will never not be in a love triangle with Kate and Jack" "tiger don't change its stripes!" So Rich made another one.

If you missed last year's video, you can watch it here. (SPOILER ALERT, people say "I'm not here to make friends." A LOT.) This one is obviously the best, but I do feel like there are a couple of other reality TV supercuts waiting to be made, such as the "he/she needs to step up to the plate" supercut, and also the dude-called-"Macho"-with-a-giant-diamond-tattooed-on-his-face-crying-in-the-driveway-after-being-kicked-off-From-G's-To-Gents-because-he-wasn't-given-a-chance supercut. Oh wait!

I'm not here to learn how to respect other people and be a decent human being, I'm here to show the world what a garbage monster I am.

...and then serve my full term at Fame Whore Correctional Facility.

Has anyone ever said "I'm here to make friends!"?

I think this should be the impetus for the new reality show "America's Next Best Friend." "I'm not here to be a bitch or make money. I'm here to make friends."

Fortunately, I have never seen Bromance, so I don't know. I do know that a lot of the clips from "I'm not here to make friends" were from the Paris Hilton version of Bromance, so....

I commented before the video was done. I wonder if any one could say with a straight face that they weren't there to make friend they were there for Brody.

They need to do an "I want to be taken serious" supercut. Or a supercut of me screaming at the TV SeriousLY you idiots, you want to be taken seriousLY. Seriously the ly suffix is like kryptonite to all reality TV contestants.
