The Real World

by Murrdawg88 on Apr 20, 2011 15:57:42

A phrase that is popular among high school/college students and other people who live their lives outside of the societal norm that is used upon the realization that they will soon be entering the drab form of existence where they work behind a desk or counter for 40-50 years, pay taxes and bills, drink cheap beer while watching sporting events or movies on the weekends, wait for the next video game system or iphone to come out, plan trips to Europe, and find a significant other that will help them bring other useless fucks into this world to continue this helpless, modern era cycle of chasing down the newest commercialized good while contributing not a single bit of positive productivity to the world in return.

Example:
Person 1 - "Man, I graduate soon. I can't believe it."

Person 2 - "No kidding. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Maybe I'll try to become an accountant or work as a manager for some large retail chain. I heard they get good benefits. Time for The Real World, I guess."

Person 1 - "I think I'll just go drown myself in that lake over there. Its not like I'll be doing anything for the next 50 years anyways."

An MTV "reality" show which presents a highly accurate portrayal of what "the real world" is "really" like. Upon college graduation, we're all inevitably thrust into this scary "real world" where a music channel jets us off to an exotic locale and puts us up in an obscenely gorgeous house overlooking an equally obscenely gorgeous beach. And just like in the "real world" we get to experience this standard of living without paying a single dime in rent. I shudder with terror every time I view it because it serves as a constant and painful reminder of what I had to endure in my early 20's when I was living in a Tuscan villa for free. But that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.

Example:
If you didn't sense the heavy sarcasm in my "Real World" definition, then you most definitely are NOT living in the "Real World".

When MTV first broadcast "The Real World" it was a cool show. Now it's scripted like all the other so-called "reality shows" on TV.

Example:
Every season of "The Real World" has the same damn characters:

1) THE SUAVE BLACK DUDE;
2) THE STUPID WHITE GUY;
3) THE HOUSE SLUT;
4) THE "TOKEN" (token gay, token Asian, etc.);
5) THE WEIRD ONE;
6) THE NAIVE KID/GIRL FROM A SMALL TOWN; and
7) THE CRAZY ONE.

A reality TV show that airs on MTV. A show that started out with some noble goals about diversity, social issues, etc. It has, however, devolved into a mindless homo erotic hot tub party of drunken twenty-somethings. All cast members think they'll never have to work a real job after they've been on the show. Former Real World "stars" wind up broke and being pimped out to "make an appearance" at seedy nightclubs for a few hundred bucks. Totally pathetic.

Example:
The continued success of the Real World shocks even the most jaded MTV programming director. "People actually still watch this crap?"

An oxymoronic depiction of seven young adults who are paid to live together and squabble over rediculous subjects. These seven people in no way represent a typical cross-section of their peers.

Example:
There is absolutely nothing real about the real world. Wanna see the real world? Try watching a guy work his way through college by surviving off of 25 cent ramen noodles. That's the real world beeyaitch!

The Real World

War is immanent. Crime is wide spread. Corruption is law. And money is power. That's just how it all works, as human beings are consumed by there own greed, the world changes along with them. Those who try to call for a change are always struck down by the sword we have come to know as the government. Then again, the majority elect those in government. So it's safe to conclude that those we elect are only elected because we think they will benifit us, but the selfish way we think makes us only think of the benefits of one and not the many. With this type of power looming over us, it's only a matter of time before national calamaty grips this pathetic country.

Example:
In the real world, there are no heroes. Only those who benifit the majority,those who benifit from the majority, and those who are layed down by the majority.

A stupid, boring, pointless program on mtv that is on tv all fucking day.
