Whatever Demon Dragged This Show From The Bowels Of Hell... Please Drag It Back!
frizniza6 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler Alert: This show is a horrifyingly awful piece of tele-garbage dragged from the pits of hell by Satan's most mentally challenged demon.

"Zoink'd" - so named because "Zoinked" was not considered "zany" enough by whatever network executive's nephew is writing and producing it - is so bad that I find myself having to watch it. Much like a terrifying, stomach-churning bus accident in which dozens of innocent children died, I can't stop myself from looking. The masochistic part of my brain takes over the moment I wake up that day and continues whispering "Zoink'd is on tonight... Zoink'd is on tonight... Zoink'd is on tonight" until I get home and somehow force myself to remove the revolver from my mouth and instead pick up the remote, sit on the couch and watch this putrid extravaganza of "zany", mouth agape with the occasional cry for help escaping, eyes wide open with the occasional tear escaping, and ears listening with the occasional stream of blood escaping.

Yes, this show is so grotesquely awful that my ears bleed with the effort of trying to process the shrill obnoxiousness pouring out of these child judge's hell-mouths and the unfunny "I'm so terrible I even hate myself won't someone please shoot me in the face when I leave the studio to walk to the bus stop oh why oh why has no one put me out of this walking misery already?" host, Adam Shootme.

The child judges on this show - who you may remember from their last role as the shrieking, maggot-like demon foetuses infesting the Ghost of Christmas Future's ribcage - are so awful that I purchased a shovel, even though I live in a fifth floor condominium, because I know if I ever happen to meet one of these unfortunate creatures I will need a tool with which to defend myself and it is my understanding that a nice heavy spade is an ideal weapon with which to remove a child of Hades' head for seven-days-of-salting then burning, which I have been assured is the only way to kill one. Also the shovel would come in handy afterwards when I need to bury the rest of the festering sewn-together goatskin "corpse" it was using as a human-child-disguise in a cursed Indian pet cemetery, as demanded in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

As for the host, I hope one day he finally tells a joke that is so bad it causes him to spontaneously combust, mouth first, leaving his eyes to burn last so that he can watch his spindly, meatless kindling legs go up like match sticks while the audience cheers, laughs and applauds his "zaniness".

The prize for the adults who go on this show and try to out-"zany" each other is $1000. I would like to offer $1005 to anyone who goes on this show and smashes every camera and microphone, every cable and piece of equipment they see, to prevent this mindless, humanity-hating genocide of entertainment from ever being broadcast again.

Did I mention how horrible the kids are? They aren't even cute. There, I said it. Untalented kids who are destined to become nothing.

Look at your host, kids. He is your future.

Legally recognized as a form of torture in some countries

Concentrated decay of the soul. You do not watch Zoinked and emerge with your former self in tact, it takes something from you that can never be returned. Some would argue it's your innocence, or perhaps your ability to enjoy or even tolerate the existence of children. This, however, is only the tip of the iceberg within this barren sea of despair.

Zoinked is very bad. A very special, particularly infuriating kind of bad, that can eat away a man's will to exist as a maggot eats away at a corpse. Anything or anyone that uses the word "zany" in a non-ironic fashion is a cancer of the mind and must be destroyed. I find this to be an indisputable rule when dealing with television shows especially. Zoinked. Just saying the name causes the most foul and detestable of human emotions to well up within me. Disgust, terror, hatred, blood lust. The name is perfect in its own way, in that it perfectly represents the indescribably large amount of insult to the viewer's intelligence and dignity as a human being. I have never felt I wanted to physically harm a child or television host, but if there were a hot iron poker lying beside these people just waiting to be used, I would seriously consider employing its services. Many, many times, until the screams of the dying drown out the screams of my spirit, and all can be at peace from this suffering. All that stays my blade is the knowledge that these children are reading from a script, as no child that exists could be so obnoxious and that determined to bring about the collapse of society without the guiding hand of adults whose contempt for decency is dwarfed only by their desire for money. A terrible, evil script forged in the fires of mount doom and bathed in the tears of the innocent.

If you ever want to have children, or be able to remain in their presence without developing a strong primal urge to kill them, stray far from this sacrilege and protect your hearts from its piercing malevolent will, for it's far too late for me.

Don't watch it. There are better shows around.

The main reason why this show sucks are the judges. They're really just some spoiled brats that the producer of the show found around in a shopping mall and immediately dragged to the set to film an episode. Another thing that annoys the hell out of me is the fact that all the judges base their opinion about an act around the show's unofficial catchphrase about how everything is "zany, cool crazy!!!111!!!!!!". And then there is the the sliming. Or as the show likes to call it "ZOINK'D", I find it unnecessary to cover adults in slime, especially when they are wearing special clothes needed for the act! By sliming them, not only is the adult embarrassed as hell, they have to go home with slime covered clothes that would probably never wash off! Like that isn't enough already, all the kids including the audience tend to make exasperated faces like they are suffering from the worst migraine known to man. The host is also annoying as hell, and thinks his jokes are the funniest jokes you have ever heard in your life, though I am 90% sure he just stole them from some original comedian. If you are thinking of going on the show, DO NOT DO IT. You would probably get "ZOINK'D" by half the judges, then get told your act was not "zany, cool or crazy!!!" and drag your sorry ass backstage all in an attempt to get win a measly $1000. I can bet you one kid judge on the show would earn double the money filming 7 episodes, than go through the all that trouble! The only reason I'm giving it a two and not a one is that, occasionally, there is an act that is interesting. I am yet awaiting the day for the show to end.

Worst show I've seen in existence
mattbennet11 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
First of all let me start by saying I have seen a lot of bad TV shows on YTV in the past few years but this one takes the cake.

This show is just a complete rip off of just about every other audition show out there like American Idol, except the roles are reversed, the adults are the ones performing while kids judge them.

The biggest problem I have with this show is adults come to show their talents and believe me I have seen quite a few that actually had some amazing talents but guess what? A bunch of obnoxious, spoiled kids with no talent get to judge whether or not their talent is "zany" or not... I mean c'mon, why are the judges a bunch of kids who can't even do any of the talents that are shown but somehow get to judge them if they were good enough or not.

Another thing I hate about the show is awful jokes and the host is horrible, I can't believe he gets paid to make corny jokes. It baffles me why adults with real talent would go on this show to be judged by a bunch of kids, and not to mention the prize is only $1,000 which is paid in pennies (not sure if that is actually true but they claim it's in pennies) I mean why would people want to go on a show and be humiliated for a 1000 pennies?

This is without a doubt the worst show I have ever seen in my life, nothing on planet earth could beat this show...
