Stupid Sports is an American online comedy game show made by Andrew Johnson, who is only twelve years old at the beginning of the series. It is based on Takeshi's Castle and has the contestants, all children, take on a series of challenges earning points. At the end, the one with the most points wins.
Examples:
- Book Ends: Both the first and last game are similar in the way that they are much less likely to have funny fails than other games.
- Carried by the Host: Often the kids who are not playing will say something funny that makes the scene better like once when John and Andrew were scuttling back and forth, trying to escape and capture respectively, Jessie calls them crabs.
- Catchphrase: Jack often will say "Goody, Goody, Goody" or "ooh, baby!" when he's winning.
- Comedic Sociopathy: Most of the humor comes from people getting hurt. Especially painful things get a Painful Moment Award.
- The Ditz: Most of the cast for this to some extent, but most definitely Jack.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: In earlier episodes, Jessie is kinder, Jack and John are meaner, Mark acts normal (though silly), and Andrew's love of food is never mentioned. Not to mention the MUCH worse camera angles.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Some games have names like Climb The Wall, Banana-Eating Contest, and such.
- Groin Attack: This happens once in each of the first four episodes (John running toward Jack's legs instead of body and failing the jump predictably, Jack falling of a hanging beam with a seat and hitting you-now-where on the beam, and stuff like that.
- Nintendo Hard: Some games are very hard. In episodes one and three, Stepping Stones never got cleared ONCE.
- The Pratfall: This is kind of the main point.
- Running Gag: Several, such as Jack slapping Andrew for mentioning Jessie romantically.
- Slapstick: This is pretty much the point of the show.
- Those Two Guys: Andrew and Jack.
- Transatlantic Equivalent: Heavily based on Takeshi's Castle. Andrew decides what games to play each episode by reading what games were in the Takeshi episode of that same number.
