Malaysia, Home of the ‘Original’ Reality Television
Have you realized that we are such lousy copycats when it comes to television programs and local movies? Sure, the government spend millions on anti piracy campaign while those dry ass producers busy copying popular TV shows and movie plots from other countries and adapt them into our culture. And like hungry skinless chicks waiting to be fed, Malaysian viewers simply LOVE them.
Honestly, I didn’t blame the audience since they seem to take everything thrown their way. Is it lack of exposure or simply we are too easy to be bitched around? Anyways, here are some of the popular Malaysian television programs which are real ‘original’.
- Malam Sehati Berdansa (Dancing With the Stars)
The latest in crappy copycatland, fucking Asstro asshole producers cleverly (or should I say, shadily) adapt how they paired has-been celebrities and professional dancers in Dancing With the Stars to pairing up married Malay has-been celebrities or fucked up Asstro TV personalities, whom his / her husband / wife looks very commercially appealing (in layman’s words, disgustingly unwatchable). And don’t get me started on the dance routine and fucked up makeup which has 300% more cheese than TV3’s Senario. - Love Perhaps (The Bachelorette)
Did anyone even watch this shit? Oh, for non-muslim only people! Genius. Cornetto must have raked millions by now! - Wakenabeb (Punk’d)
I don’t know about this one. It sounds so desperate and lame. We all knew Malaysians don’t really handle their anger very well despite our made up courteous nature to Mat Sallehs. The aging host was trying too hard to be as cheeky as he can ala Ashton Kutcher (not that Ashton was any better but at least watchable). Old people and cheeky don’t belong in the same sentence, people! - Radhi Study Go (Tommy Lee Goes to College)
Are you kidding me? Radhi is our Malaysian Tommy Lee? He didn’t get a chance to study because he did tons of crack and lived out a fabulous rocker life before? Get out. Next thing you know Sarah Raisuddin is our Malaysian version of the adorable American gremlin! Oh wait, she is. - Trek Selebriti (MTV Cribs)
Most Malaysian celebrities are actually poorer than most of us ordinary Malaysians. True story. I don’t really get why we want to see their half-assed ugly homes and their cheap tasteless furniture. And if that’s not enough for you, instead of having the actual celebrities showcase their (lame) personal spaces to the camera, we got an annoying little fag called Jimmy Shanley prancing around and asking stupid ridiculous question that deserves equally stupid answers about their cheap belongings. Yesza? Yesza your ass, motherfucker!
When it comes to copycats, I believe ASSTRO is the motherbitch of ALL copycats in Malaysia. Are there anything even remotely original on their local production lineup anymore? Of course, I didn’t list the adaptations like Malaysian faggy showcase Project Runway, stupid wasted Malaysian Idol and SUPERLAME Akademi Fantasia since they’re like franchise crap. However, that doesn’t mean we skimped on the lousy though. It’s like the poor man’s version / parody of popular reality TV shows actually. Real classy!
I know dick about Malaysian movies so I can’t actually list out which movie copy which movie because as you all know, I’m an ignorant twat. I do know that recently the dickhead lame producers pirated something from Fast and the Furious and made a supercheap version of it. It’s really sad, you know. It’s not even borderline pathetic, just plain SAD.
Talking about sad, how about people who actually spend their hard earned money to vote excessively on these shows, eh? One word for you guys, VICTIMS. So if you guys know any other Malaysian TV shows or movies that are very authentic, don’t forget to list them out here! I’ll add my brilliant comment to the post if I feel like it. Peace out!

this will be one of my fav blog for 2008.. do u post daily? i can even make it my daily readings
[...] hard Aznil or Raja Lawak’s fans here, I really hate to see dumb childish comments like the previous ones. [...]
hehe…I don’t even know such shows exist until Craply mentioned it and I did the unthinkable…go to 8tv website and watched Radhi Go..whatever.
Total waste of everybody’s time. Crap you tv junkie you…read a book and blog more often. Get a hobby instead of ruining your time watching junks such as this. The same goes with the rest of you..
I don’t even watch the originals coz it’s so lame and corny.
its really suck….even Fucking Asstro name itself look like copycat dude, i like this one: “making ur life/dumbass shittier” hohoho!!!
[...] are so fucking stupid and blind. Not everyone is a saint and Malaysian celebrities (although poorer than most of us), are humans too. They have sexual urges just like you and me. And some of them has [...]
Crap, you are a fucking genius! Ignore those stupid bitches, girl don’t know shit about REAL TV. Like you already have guessed 99% of the targeted audience for these fucking TV reality shows are those stupid, ugly-ass-wannabe-star teenage girls.
Kudos to you.
:p You gave a fantastic review on all the shows, now to get this published somewhere… where all the people who watch can terasa.
I stopped watching TV. completely. After watching all the shows mentioned..
and..
Because, i don’t have a huge parabolic dish that could give me better programs/channels/because the g0v3rnm3nt doesn’t allow it(do they?)
Can someone burn down the place where all these shitty ideas are spawning from?
This blog is great. I fucking hate Macam-Macam Aznil.
I saw 8TV’s Ghost drama series! It was good. Can’t stomach the rest. .
F**kin A review!!
Hate the Akademi F*ck-Stain-Sia franchise thingie..!
Hee hee..I like you crap. at least you’re brave enough to SPEAK OUT your mind. I’ve been bottling up my feelings for the Malaysian TV for decades. Even went to the extent of ‘giving up on watching Malaysian-made TV shows completely’. Thank God you came to the rescue. However, there’s only one gem among all the other drama series ever made in Malaysia– the 8TV series ‘Ghost’. Judging only by the title, I thought it was about you know, like another cheesy drama like ‘Supernatural’. Ignored the ad the first time I saw it. Then a few months later, I watched it on YouTube and totally LOVED it. It’s one that will never put you to sleep but sort of forces you to work your brain a little. And it’s totally ORIGINAL. And yes, I HATE ‘Macam-Macam Aznil’ and ‘Amboi-Amboi Azwan’. Mere torture.
Ok…don’t you all know that this country copies everything? Hello? Can you say video tape? VCD? DVD? Take a look around. Everything you see we copied from something.
While we’re on the subject of astro…what’s the deal with the ‘hujan’ thingy? Everytime its raining or raining 100km away, there’s no service. World class? Get cable tv right first. Hello, don’t talk bout going to outerspace if you can’t figure out cable tv yet.
wei ern and gang. GTFO and never come back. craplicious is right, malaysia is a shithole for the entertainment business. look at tv1, it has been broadcasting since the dawn of malaysia, and it still is broadcasting half assed quality productions now. film negara malaysia is a fucking huge ass joke. i’m pretty sure every year’s budget goes to them, and into someone’s pocket.
and what’s with all the direct spelling of malay words from english? berdansa? are u fucking kidding my ass off?
and look at mawi. he cant sing for jack shit and yet he is “popular”. why? because malaysians cant fucking differentiate talent and nonsense. either that or the malaysian media is desperate for a recognisable face.
does anyone remember the community message about the flood thing? where it reminds us to be careful when eating food etc? HOW FUCKING PROFESSIONAL CAN IT GET? come on! it is something serious, do away with the fucking swaying of text while you are narrating the damn thing. it’s like they are making a joke out of it!
craplicious. u are now my best e-friend. love u
malaysian doesn’t have any creativity,don’t be an asshole
wake up people,make your own!
hi from me.
hope this topic is still relevant to be discussed.
same problem with indonesia here. television products that we called ’sinetron (sinema elektronik)’ is full of crap and some EXPERT in tv and movie says some of them are copycat products from india and taiwan film tv.
imho this tv capitalist thinks that people are too stupid to protest, and money can be still produced by producting craps-copycats-low-budget sinetron.
anyway, sad that astro has gone from indo. we here need a counterbalance-capitalist to make the service better. what happen now is like monopolistic cable-tv industry..
Aastro dishes should be donated to Muzium Negara to showcase Malaysian stupidity
wow~ finally someone really have the gut to say all these things.
99.9% malaysian in-house productions are crap. total crap.
to all producers, stop giving us crap, will ya?!
p/s: by da way, those indonesian supposed-to-be-fairytale every evening makes me puke.
Well, i couldnt agree more on what u’ve said. We malaysians should be creative. We all think We are independent since Merdeka Day 1957. But actuall in the inside we are still trapped.
