''The Hard Times of RJ Berger'' is a sitcom created by David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith for Creator/{{MTV}} that ran for two seasons from June 6, 2010 to May 30, 2011 before being cancelled in August 2011. The show originated from a short film that one creator directed and the other produced; the two summarized the short as an {{homage}} to ''Film/BoogieNights'', and later summarized the series as [[JustForFun/XMeetsY a cross between]] ''Series/TheWonderYears'' and ''Film/{{Superbad}}''.
RJ Berger is an unpopular, nerdy, socially awkward high school sophomore. He's horrible at sports, even worse at talking to girls, his parents are embarrassing, and he's got more pairs of glasses than friends -- but he has a big secret. A ''very'' big secret.

The show's plot gets set in motion when an unfortunate series of events leads to RJ being exposed in front of his entire high school. However, RJ gets a sudden boost in popularity, and the show follows him and his two best friends, [[BromanticFoil Miles Jenner]] and [[AbhorrentAdmirer Lily Miran]], as he deals with the changes and tries to use the fame to his advantage.

Meet RJ Berger. He has a [[GagPenis big schlong]]. Goodnight everybody!

Oh, you want more info? Alright then. RJ Berger is your typical nerd. Nature made him scrawny and weird looking, awkward and pale. He's horrible at sports, and even worse at talking to girls. His parents are embarrassing, and he's got more pairs of glasses than friends. Except for one thing: His sexual organ is huge. HilarityEnsues.
The first season follows RJ and his friends [[BromanticFoil Miles Jenner]] and [[AbhorrentAdmirer Lily Miran]] living high school while dealing with people like [[JerkJock Max Owens]]. It's been stated many times that RJ is going to try and use his "gift" to change his lifestyle, but really, all he seems to want is a chance with [[LoveInterest Jenny Swanson]].
The second season continues on, with RJ and Jenny as an OfficialCouple, trying to make the relationship work despite several hindrances. All the while RJ is trying to deal with his parents' divorce, his mom dating his coach, and the new hot tutor he's been given that's starting to drive a wedge between him and Jenny.
The third season would've followed RJ dealing with [[spoiler:Lily's pregnancy]] and Max keeping his own little secret under wraps. But, as confirmed by the creator via Twitter, the series was canceled.
