American MC

This was so bad, I actually had to register with IMDB and review this.This made me cringe so much from the beginning. Its basically a load of old guys that live in different states over the USA. They get together for rides. OK, seems OK so far? Then it all goes wrong. Its completely staged. Each scene seems to have been semi scripted. There are "arguments" , stupid riding etiquette, interactions with embarrassed (to be associated with this) looking Hells Angels and police. One of the first real MC's that this bunch of cockwombles come in to contact with, calls them out for exactly what they are "A bunch of wanna-be's" Then there is the general obnoxiousness, of these deluded granddads, they are trying to behave how they think a bike club should be, but totally get it wrong. They are put straight a few times by real MC's but its clear that they are just a laughable bunch of bafoons. Their utter lack of respect for each other and everything they touch is just appalling. The first episode shows a chance meeting at a gas station that leads them to a, pub which they don't know is a Hells Angles bar. Lucky the cameras were set up in the right direction and were able to film the Angles arrive.... Just as one of the "Icecream men from hell" (yes that's their name, lol) Has a Hells Angels poster in his hand... I lost the blood flow in my hands cringing so hard at the awkward staged interaction.

The whole thing is just a clumsy embarrassment. Sometimes you can watch something that you don't agree with, or is bad and enjoy the entertainment but this is just so lame and embarrassing, don't do it!!!!

Only watch the one episode (3) check my review there if you wish.... Absolute crap. 5 out of 10 because of the bikes otherwise 2 out of 10 without bikes and that only because it does have picture and sound.

I've watched this show in a couple different sittings, and found each time that I was caught off guard and surprised by the foolish behavior, the dangerously bad riding, and the boorish and uninteresting "main character" Baker.

A couple of these guys did seem pretty cool, the poet Big Tom, the truck mechanic, and maybe one or two other guys.

The Hells Angels I am surprised they agreed to even be featured on this show- but I thought the President seemed like a cool guy, and the Hells Angels were honestly the most reasonable level headed people on the whole show.

The "Ice Cream Men from Hell" wanted to find out if they could keep up and stay up, and found they could do neither. They chose to clown around instead of ride, and in doing so showed their true, albeit fake, colors.

Their clear unfamiliarity with firearms shows it's ugly head several times while they "play with guns" and put their complete lack of skill on full display. Baker has a negligent discharge nearly blow his head off early on in the show, but not to be outdone, proceeds to fire his handgun without a backstop down into a reservation with zero regard for anyone who may have been down below.

The fake MC finds out quick that they can barely manage to keep their bikes on the road, I'm honestly surprised none of them died, for how often they are seen dumping their bikes and almost slamming into oncoming traffic.

To their credit- when a real MC rightfully would have cut their stupid ice cream patches off, they kind of got the message. I do not understand why they didn't take the patches off immediately, or why they even wore them in the first place. Even if you don't know anything about MC's, which I certainly don't claim to have any special knowledge of... you kind of just know that's a really bad idea to be a fake poser in that circle.

The other thing is... how many fake staged scenes can they have before it stops being a documentary? The Tropicana Girls? Gary Busey? The fake cop arresting him? How much of this show is out and out fabricated?

You wouldn't catch me dead riding with these clowns.

The "M. C." in the title doesn't stand for Motorcycle Club, it's stands for Midlife Crisis. 17 middle aged guys making asses of themselves all over Arizona.

So much false information. Starting with the first mc. Yonkers and McCook both predate the information spoken in this show. Not one of the clowns in this show embodies what an mc actually is. I seriously don't see how one can consider this a docuseries given that most documentaries are fact based.
