Thanks so much for watching! Did you ever watch Fear Factor in the early 2000's? Or even reruns of it years later? Let me know your thoughts on this show and how you felt about it in general!

The most unhinged part of Fear Factor is Joe Rogan attempting to keep his hair

I had a very bad injury in 2004, and during my physical therapy sessions they'd always have Fear Factor on the TV. I loved it so much. Take a couple painkillers, do some slow walking on the treadmill or slow stationary bike riding, all while taking in the wonderful sights and sounds of Fear Factor. What a great time.

Fear Factor was one of the few reality shows I ever got into as a kid. I'd watch it all the time with my grandparents, so even just thinking about it brings back a ton of great memories and feelings.

I watched "Fear Factor" as a kid, my dad explained to me how mind over matter works by cracking an egg and dropping the white and yolk into his beer and drinking it. This changed my thinking about what I can and can't do. I still loved the show and wondered how I'd do being a part of it. Then I grew up and my interests changed, I moved on to other shows. This still was one of my all-time favourite reality TV, contest shows though.

i adored this show as a kid (but did worry for the contestants at times) and i remember my mom saying to me “i’d do absolutely anything for you kid, and if someone said i had to go in fear factor to save your lives i’d do it in the blink of an eye. but you know your mother, she can’t do bugs. so whether or not i’d win, is the real question” and bruv i never felt her more 🤣

For those wondering, the challenge that got the episode pulled was 2 girls had to drink horse sperm.

I rewatch episodes from time to time and I still have a hard time believing that Joe Rogan actually hosted this show 💀

Fun Fact: A band I worked for (Madina Lake) had two members appear on the show. Their name at the time was The Blank Theory and Joe wanted them to sign something. They said if they make it to round 2 they will. They did and Joe made them sing, and you can tell the guys were like “shit, we gotta do this for real” 😂

“I walked in every day like, ‘There’s no way they’ll let us air this😭” -JoRo

It's astounding how this video is the way I find out that Podcast Joe Rogan and Fear Factor Joe Rogan were the same guy.

I definitely just started rewatching these episodes on Hulu. The early 2000s was such a great time for tv shows 😭💗

My grandma used this show to get me to get off my GameCube back in the day. To this day she still tells me she has no clue how they got away with some of the stuff they used to do on this show😂

One show I miss the most is Destroy Build Destroy hosted by Andrew W.K.

I'll never forget the episode of the dude who had to eat a bowl of Maggots & Cheese. The host was counting down and as he said go, dude straight up chucked the whole bowl at the wall and said that everyone is insane lol

My favorite Fear Factor Fact is when they hosted a series for twins to compete, the winning Leone brothers used the money to fund their band Madina Lake!

6:35 I love how his hair products wash off in a cloud as they dunk him 💀

This show is so unethical it would SO not fly now...I can't believe it flew when we were growing up!

Before Fear Factor, I knew Joe Rogan when he acted on an underrated nbc sitcom called Newsradio. Still love that show.

Sucks this show failed in its revival but so glad we still got it and some international versions One of a kind show Edit: 40 versions?! Shit, that's awesome!!!

This gets my hopes up for a Scare Tactics video.

Fear Factor was so crazy growing up, I found out it's on Tubi so I might give it a watch one of these days The one thing that always gets me is that one of their "High Intensity" music cues straight up sounds like Gulp's Overlook from Spyro 2, Spyro 2 is one of my favorite games ever so it definitely gets my attention.

One genre of TV that I could never really get into. Watched a couple series here & there but never got into the whole thing of reality TV, which is pretty weird considering I grew up when 1st Cops & then The Real World came out on Network TV/Cable.

This reminds me of scare tactics with Tracy Morgan; very 2000s!!

I hated the water tanks!!! When they had to go down like 3 levels to get the flag or the key on the bottom, i dont remember but that one always freaked me out 😂

The OG 2000's Fear Factor is always awesome! Me and my mother use to watch every episode when it was new!

I remember loving this show to the point where me and my friend had a fear factor themed birthday party completely ignoring the warnings of the show 😂😂😂😂

I know it’s not a reality show but I’d love to see your take on deadliest warrior that aired on spike tv years ago.

You gotta do Ripley's Believe it or not and Unsolved Mysteries!

I remember watching a season of Fear Factor after watching kids WB shows. Good times.

This show was so popular in the 2000s. Used to watch it almost every night with my parents

You should cover Amazing Race in the same way you did for survivor. Apparently I from what I heard one infamous contestants from early Amazing Race was on Fear Factor and tried to fight Joe Rogan.

The budget for this show was unmatched!

I still watch this every other day.. it’s on Hulu 😅 it’s iconic and I love it

I didn't know there was an episode not allowed to air and that they even slapped people with NDA's to prevent it being talked about in detail.

Great blast from my past.

The thing I remember the most about Fear Factor is when they get them to eat roach juice. I don’t know why that’s a thing that stuck with me from the show

I remember when I was little when their show was out I went to one of my friend's birthday parties which was fear Factor themed The two things that I remember from it was the prize if you win the fear Factor contest was you got to take home one of the presents of the birthday boy end of the birthday boy won he went to some football game or something I don't remember exactly what his prize was but one of the trials we had to do was find keys to unlock a box in a bowl of "intestines and eyeballs" inside of a box which totally wasn't just spaghetti and peeled grapes we promise And I remember the kid that got the farthest gave up at the end because after all the haha funny fake fear Factor things and party games The thing that allowed him to keep a present was he had to eat a live cockroach they bought from PetSmart so that way no one would actually take a present home and ruin the kids bday but they also offered it to the birthday boy and I genuinely remember him staring at that cockroach for a uncomfortably long amount of time thinking if eating a cockroach is actually worth going to a football gamer or whatever his prize was

Fear Factor will allways have a soft spot in my heart I have the best memories of watching this with my now late dad growing up

i enjoyed Fear Factor, but i agree, they went too far and they was caught trying to make something finite infinite, like Hollywood and Jumpscares, that is fun for a while, but overtime it begins to piss you off rather than entertain. Total Drama would become the parody to showcase the madness and i believe it helped us get over the whole Reality Show craze.

Every time I watch the Joe Rogan podcast I just think, "That's the same guy that made people eat bugs LOL!"

My dude pumping these videos out lately 😮

Honestly I feel like I could win if I didn't have to swim because I'm not a good swimmer.

loved this, great topic!

My mom's cousin was in that 7th season of Fear Factor. She got covered in bees. Only episode I bothered watching since way back in the first season, just to see a family member covered in bees, haha.

I hope Scary Godmother is covered in one of these episodes! I have vivid memories from that TV special!

Good memories growing up watching that show. Many nights my cousins, brothers, and I would sit in awe and disgust! I miss early 2000’s style man. It just hits different! I didn’t realize that Joe hosted it ‘til years later after he started his podcast.

Fear Factor was one of those shows that fascinated me and it made me intrigued if the FCC would get involved at some point considering it aired on network television. The revivals could never touch the original running on NBC.

Cave Spider Roulette for the RX8 goes down as one of the most shocking things I saw on TV as a teen, horrified me to the bone!

This is going to be my 3rd annual fringemas I hope you have something good planned

Thank you for your review. I was so nervous about this ever since it was announced at the Emmys. 😅 I happy about this movie now 😃

The Tyrone Biggums episode was the best one in history

"JOE ROGAN USED TO HAVE HAIR AND MAKE PEOPLE EAT BUGS FOR MONEY" "...Ok Grandpa, let's get you to bed."

man I remember when survivor came out it was a really big thing and I'm pretty show it was one of the few shows the whole world was watching each week.

Completely unrelated, but the clips being from chiller channel reminded me of these 2 specific horror movies and one had whitney cummings in it lol

So glad I got to grow up watching this

Subscribed🔥

In South Africa we had a school outing to a pool place and they happened to shoot a fear factor stunt in the deepest pool that involved a sinking car. It was fun to watch.

Have you ever considered doing one on Hamtaro

Fear factor followed by Ripley's Believe it or not

I saw a live version of Fear Factor at Universal Orlando once. It was a bit weird to see a toned-down version in-person.

Fear Factor was super cool to watch. Even had a classmate have a fear factor themed birthday party.

Joe grinded early on and unlocked side quests

Before Fear Factor it was a show called Fear or something, people doing challenges at spooky places or something lol. Just started the video so unsure if you'll mention that, but also not sure if the shows are even related in anyway but I always felt they were, similar stuff i guess

im watching this show on amazon called “PANIC” and it’s basically fear factor but with a plot

In case anyone was interested, the challenge that was so terrible NBC had to pull the episode involved drinking Donkey Semen and Urine.

Hey Jordan Remember the earlier 2000's TV Series Shows from the ABC Channel Wipe Out, and also I Survived A Japanese Game show!

This glosses over that accident they had during during a challenge were men were in harnesses and had to almost bungee out of the water and there was a malfunction…. Leno babe lost half thier hair

Easily my favorite reality show to ever exist well not counting the MTV version. Its too bad that the staff felt they needed to keep upping the grossness and risk factor in its revival to the point of that ummmm twin scene was actually made.

I still watch this show. Mostly background noise i put on after work while i work round the house

Fear Factor was one hell of a reality tv/game show I watched as a kid back in the year 2000s days. To think Joe Rogan hosted this crazy series. 😅

Happy New Year 🎊🕛

I was one of those idiots who sent in a video tape to try and be a contestant, but I never heard anything back😢

Can't believe I grew with Joe rogan, watched news radio and fear factor when I was a kid, watched ufc when I was a teenager and in my 20s now I'm in my 30s watching his podcast.

Imagine learning that Joe Rogan had a podcast via this KZfaq video.

Please do a video on Deadliest Warrior

Can you do the movie *Where Kids eat Worms* I forgot what the movie name is but that traumatized me, never ate Noodles for a year 😬😬😬

lol I like how the things you said you wouldn't do on fear factor are the easy things. chillin with snakes, having a spider walk on you, and letting bees be on you. those are easy... lol. regular people can do that stuff. The stuff I couldn't do would be like... some kinda underwater suffocation situation lol or maybe really high up on a tall building kinda situation.

Seeing young Joe was the scariest part of all of this

I jus laughed so hard when he said so we don’t lose our lunch cuz I’m on lunch break rn

Joe with hair looks like joey tribiani.

I know completely different but I NEED TO KNOW because I need help finding this moive. There was a scene where the main character makes carrot juice with his on board blender for a ceo to take his meds with and the car was a neon green. The main character had frizzy hair and was an inventor

Hey! June 11th 2001 was my 8th birthday! 🎂 hardly anything notable happens on that date. Except that the first Jurassic Park movie came out on my actual birth date.

Rogan even joked about how he cant believe it's a real show 😅

I just realized this was Joe Rohan with hair for the first time in my 24 years last weekend 😭

I once went to a Fear Factor themed Bar Mitzvah party

Does anyone know the details of the un aired revival episode?

I would have lied at what my fears are. Just so I could not do aomething crazy.

Jordan, did you ever watch MXC? Do a video on that please!!!

All I remember from seeing this show as a kid was the creepy crawly stuff. I have no idea why my mom had it on because she is one of the most reserved people you'll ever meet.

I miss Madden Nation from ESPN 2

LOL the david dobrik shade 😂

Can you imagine how messed up it would be if you were watching this show in 2001-2006, working a crap job for $25,000, and having to live in a place infested with cockroaches and mice…and watching people being covered with cockroaches and mice for much more money than you make in a year? You certainly can’t afford to get rid of the pests making you sick and infecting your food (that you can’t afford to go bad), yet it’s being broadcast as “entertainment” for some sick reason…

I never grew up with fear factor growing up. But me and and my husband have been recently watching it. And I wanna go on it with him haha. I grew up with TDI

I think the strangest part of Fear Factor is how it intersects with Joe Rogan's career. He's done just a wild amount of strange things on television

What a great time.

Ludicrous is my host of “Fesr Factor” I used to watch the og version with my dad when I was little. I hate that I missed MTV’s version when it was airing because now its only in reruns & nowhere else & I’d really like to see the episodes I haven’t seen & the celebrities compete with Ludicrous making jokes

I remember when this was big. I actually puked when they ate the tomato worms

yea, I watched fear factor and no amount of money could make me wanna jump in a pit of spiders.

So weird that people would compete for 50.000 this way… now that’s not enough money at all
