Con

On top of the fact that Skylar is a complete douche bag and his cons are unimaginative, his schemes require way to much preparation to make any of his scams worth while. Without giving away any spoilers (as if it matters with this piece of crap) his cons are such a sham because it takes the effort of days and days of planning, and the use of multiple accomplices and an entire camera crew etc. just to scam someone into a service that would cost less than a hundred bucks.....in addition if you read in the credits they re-stage some of the phone calls etc. because they don't pan out...The whole concept of this show is bunk because all of his cons have the cost in both the crew and the effort of ten times the actual cost of the service he is trying to get for free...what is the con?

Con is a stupid show, I can't believe it is even rated at 3 out of 10 here on IMDb.com. First of all for starters the host is truly stupid, he could just have a job and pay for his fast food and soda pops and do like half the work he does with his "amazing cons" to get these things for free, like fishing around through the garbage to get a cheeseburger receipt then calling the head company to complain about the cheeseburger just so he can get a free replacement cheeseburger and drive to the restaurant and pick it up? Wow you just did an hour of work, worked up your cellphone bill probably, wasted gas and most importantly wasted all of that time, plus you had to root around through a disgusting big barrel of garbage, all to get one free cheeseburger from McDonald's that is only worth like one dollar. You're an idiot. He also had empty soda cups in a rack in his trunk so that he could go to restaurants and rip them off for free refills, again this is disgusting he's only saving maybe a dollar plus these little cardboard cups get all gross from soda pop syrup and also start to fall apart, on top of that you risk walking into a restaurant and being called out for obviously being some idiot who hasn't bought anything there and is just coming in with his own cup, of course that would make this show interesting and funny instead of just stupid and pointless and completely not funny at all. Con sucks.

Con is a terrible show. Why are they running it again? When I came on here to complain about it I figured it was just a bad new show and now I find out that it was on in like 2005? Maybe that helps explain why it seems old and unpolished but why on earth are they rerunning this again when judging by how bad the show obviously is and all the negative comments and votes here people obviously didn't like it so why are they rerunning this again? they should bring back new episodes or reruns of flight of the conchords or something else instead, or old kids in the hall or Monty python or sctv, comedy channel here in Canada just can't seem to get it together, all their shows suck.

I never thought watching TV would make me want to end my own life. But this show has made me want to do exactly that. The skyler stone guy isn't funny, he's obnoxious and a tool, I would rather watch mind of mencia then this show. The show is obviously staged as well. Comedy central must have ran out of mad TV reruns so they needed to fill the space with some new crap. They did a pretty good job; they found the worst crap thats available. For some reason they thought this show is more funny then Stella. Stella was the best show ever along with strangers with candy and kids in the hall. They take those shoes off and put this show on. Con is a wonderful example of the dumbing down of America.

You know, I love the prospect of conning honest, hard-working people out of their services just as much as the next guy, but Con is just boring. It seems like Skyler Stone always has to work up a ridiculously circuitous plan to achieve the simplest of ends.

The circuitous planning wouldn't be bad if it were applied to grand schemes, but more often than not the cons on Con are so small in scope that I just can't bring myself to give a damn.

In one episode Skyler created a convoluted plan to get models to believe he's a photographer and clean his living room... oh, burn! And all it took was 3 days of rigorous planning and preparation! Con would be great if the cast would just pull a great con, but as it is it's just boring.
