“Is Rob and Big scripted?”

400×2001.jpg

As part of the promotion of the release of Season 1 & 2 of “Rob and Big” on DVD, a tongue-in-cheek infomercial has been running on MTV for the past few weeks. One of the jokes in the special, is that all of the show is scripted, and that Drama is not actually Rob’s cousin, and that they do different versions of the show in different languages, and that catch phrases like “Do Work” are simply lines on a cue card. As supposed proof, a clip of Rob and Big wearing comical Mexican Sombreros and fake moustaches and speaking butchered Spanish is shown. A supposed “casting session” for Drama is also shown. Somehow, some people are taking the obvious joke literally, and are starting to worry that “Rob and Big” is all scripted.Not to worry people. Drama, aka Chris Pfaff, is actually Rob’s cousin. The two do not don Mexican sombreros and do the show in the worst Spanish you’ve ever heard. And no, thankfully, the show is most definitely NOT scripted. We couldn’t come up with the stuff that these two guys do and say, even if we tried. For a more detailed version of how we do make the series, you can read a fairly detailed description of how the show came to be and how it continues to work:

Hopefully that answers your question. Feel free to post other questions about the series in the comment thread, and I’ll be happy to answer them!

3 DAYS UNTIL THE PREMIERE!

  1. not to step on anyone's toes here but i thought dramas first name was christopher and scott is his brother?
  2. Sara-

    I'm dumb. I call him Drama so often that I don't even ever think of his real name. Yes, Scott is Drama's brother, and Drama's real name is, in fact, CHRIS. I changed it in the post, too. Thanks!
  3. Shane,
    Your very welcome and thank you for clearing it up. I just wanted to be sure of it. =] Thanks again.

  5. Didn't know where else to post this question...What is the song featured on the season 3 premier where they're going through the car wash and Rob busts out in his song and dance routine?
  6. I must say that Rob and Big are one of the most interesting shows on MTV that i watch. I love it. MY Best friend and I are exactly the way rob and big are. We are Best friends of course, but we love adventures and just being wild and crazy. Rob is "the driver", and big just chills in the passanger seat. Theres so much more to that. I love the show because i love the crazy things they do, i love the jokes, and it constantly makes us laugh!! Keep it up guys youre amazing!

    PS. HE AINT REDDY
  10. Hey there. Does Rob actually have time to look at our comments here?... 'cause I just caught that "3-layered dating scene" and I got some much needed advice for Rob.
    If he has a problem with finding a good girl it's cause most of them are taken.. :) I mean he's a hottie. And if I wasn't married to the most amazing man, I'd shout.. :) hehehee like honey -so sweet sugar got a long way to get ya...
    Anywho, he should try the "single take." It's when you decide and committ to being single, but usually that's when you find the perfect guy or gal. That's how I met my husband. And yea, let Rob pick the looks. People fail to admit that attractiveness is major. I don't mean to pick apart until you reach perfection (ain't possible!!), but if you get turned on by someone (single)go for it. life is too short to wait for the second time around... Gosh I hope he finds that good girl. He reminds me of my brother Christian :) sweet but aways looking for adventure in life!! good looks rob
  11. i have a different comment to share.....about BIG "teddy bear" .....sweetie, you're a person that's worth getting to know...DONt worry yourself too much...you'll find HER soon....
  12. how bout a show with a little behind the camera so we can see all about it rob that girl u want is any one u want bro ur a cool crazy guy any woman want that
  13. I saw the last episode of dramas 21st b-day! I think it was really bogus, how he got treated! I think it was wrong for u guys to shave his head and then make an ass out of him at the tatoo shop! u are only doing that because u guys have money! U would not like it if someone did that to u on your b-day! Harvey!! King of Kings!!!!
  14. drama did get his a** wiped lol
  15. what up Rob?? idk if you read this or not but i have a suggestion...you should get Miny some horse shoes its bad for horses hips when they slip...hope to see it in one of your episodes...late
  16. Hey Rob! We live about twenty minutes from your hometown here in Ohio,it's a small world! I loved the show with your parents...I also saw the one that you taped here in Ohio. My adult son and I make sure we call each other on Tuesday's. We both laugh and joke about the episodes,sometimes we find ourselves joking about it all week long!You and Big are really enjoyable to watch. I bought my son a BB shirt for Christmas...My grandson wants to learn how to skateboard now (he's 7). What I need to know is who do I get in contact with to get this show back on the air? I'm serious...send me an email...I've got to Do Work Son!!!
  17. the song featured in the premire of season three was a song called what it feels like by enrique inglesias! hope that helps :)
  18. if this isn't scripted, it's the first "reality" show in the last 15 years that isn't.

    The only question, is to what degree...
