We've never actually gotten close enough to Rob Dyrdek to smell him, but if his signature scent is anywhere near as good as his marketing campaign, we can't wait to get a whiff. Turns out, the Charity Challenge contest's still going on (now through Nov. 2nd), so we're asking you to release your inner purple sharks and get your hands on a Dyrdek-designed can o' TAG! Win or lose, ten percent of all proceeds go towards Rob's charity (Safe Spot Skate Spot), so get your body spray on and help him beat Carmelo Anthony and Luda -- and give back to the kiddies!

Tonight, Rob Dyrdek opened the gates to his Fantasy Factory and invited 30 Twitter winners inside for a fun-filled afternoon of freebies, foam pits -- and, in one lucky gentleman's case -- a pie-throwing bonanza. And as we watched the laughing children circle around the purple shark, it reminded us of the scene in Willy Wonka where the Golden Ticket winners (like humble Charlie, obnoxious Veruca and future blueberry Violet), get to see insides of the chocolate factory for the very first time.
Natch, that led to a semi-related discussion of who would play Augustus Gloop in a Fantasy Factory remake (our money's on Jeremy), and, eventually, caused us to wonder which imaginative dreamworld we'd rather visit, assuming we had the choice.
Let's weigh the merits of both, shall we? On Wonka's side, we've got all the candy you can eat, lush, chocolate rivers and those creeptastic little orange men. On Dyrdek's, we've got Tina the Testie, the zip line, and the best skateboarding bulldogs the world's ever known. So where would you rather spend an afternoon? Take the poll and let us know!
With tonight's Fantasy Factory finale just a few hours away, we've been taking some quiet time to reflect on all the laughs, thrills and 'say what?'s from Season 2. Like, rememba when Chanel almost beat Steve Berra in a girl vs. boy rap battle? The guys were so impressed! And it wasn't just a fluke -- Chanel's got real skillz. In fact, our cameras caught her just a few weeks ago freestylin' about what it's like to always work the dude shift. Check it:
Speaking of Chanel's job at the Factory ... take a look at this video of Rob grading her performance as a receptionist. The good news? She's got perfect attendance.
Not exactly a glowing review, but it sounds like Chanel's set for life if she and Ryan Sheckler are planning on makin' some babies. So, are they really? After the jump, hear Chanel clear up any recent rumors about sk8r boi crushes and her lack of office productivity.

Good news, boys. You've spent your whole entire lives waiting for a husky-voiced blond to fulfill your every fantasy -- and this Thursday, you're about to get your wish! The only downside? Your fair-haired fairy godmother's none other than sexy manchild Rob Dyrdek. Check out what Rob's got in store for the Fantasy Factory season finale (hint: it involves Ludacris, Carmelo Anthony and lots of man musk) and get psyched for the main event with Luda's first smash hit of the new millennium.

Although she came out strong tonight,
Chanel ultimately lost the rap battle to
Steve "The Show-Off" Berra, who took the title in a tiebreaker after their neck and neck freestyles led to a winner-takes-all game of Beirut. But since we're not sure what beer pong has to do with the ability to rhyme under pressure, we thought we'd give you guys a chance to settle this high stakes score once and for all.
Think Chanel had the sickest rhymes tonight? Or did Steve surprise you with his freakishly tight freestyle? Watch the rap battle one more time then take the poll and tell us who's the hottest MC.
Tonight, Big Cat proved he had what it takes to out-awkward the Berra boys. Still, as we watched him intimidate his opponent with his patented I-will-make-you-uncomfortable stare, we couldn't help but wonder whether he is, in fact, the awkwardest member of the Pfaff fam. Think Big Cat could stare Drama "The Disconcerter" down into submission? Or is his little bro more awkward than a middle school slow dance? Take the poll and tell us which of these offputting sibls deserves to be Mayor of Awkward City!
When you've got a factory full of crazy clothes, life-size cartoon mini-me's and regulation jockey jerseys silks, throwing together a last-min Halloween costume is no big deal. But even if you're not a hoarder, there's still hope for your All Hallow's Eve! Hear what equestrian-slash-one-hit wonder Rob Dyrdek recommends for kids lookin' to go all out plus give Chanel a gold star for her Kanye West-inspired idea!
We already knew that Fantasy Factory's rapping receptionist Chanel was a musical genius, but we weren't quite sure she could pull off her rhyming prowess on the spot ... which is why we recently paid a surprise visit to the office with a request for some freestylin'!
Check out Chanel in the video below as she explains how her writing and rapping got started and spits some mean verses jus' for the ladies. Plus: after the jump, watch Rob show off his own musical skills with a badass drum solo courtesy of Travis Barker's equipment. (Side note: Is there anything Dyrdek can't do?)

Watching Bobby Light and Blink-182 make simultaneous comebacks on the Vegas stage made us nostalgic for the first time Rob Dyrdek put on a heinous blond wig and made sweet, sweet love to the microphone. So we dug through the MTV video archives and came up with the Rob And Big episode where Bobby made his professional singing/dancing debut! Check out the music video for "Dirty Girls," plus head all the way back to season two of Rob And Big for the R&B sensation's full introductory episode. Bobby Light, and it (still) feels SO right!
+ Want even more Bobby? Watch him perform in Mexico in this classic Rob And Big show (from season three)!
Poor Jeremy. This week, Rob commandeered his bathroom for his personal use, stuck a bright purple Port-o-Potty in his office, impersonated him by screaming "FUN IS STUPID!" then turned his own prank against him. And while a small part of us felt bad for the dude, a much bigger part was too busy laughing at his lame-o attempt to out-Rob Rob. (Don't mess with the king, yo!)
Anyhow, all this Jeremy action tonight left us scratching our heads, and wondering whether the man's completely anti-fun -- or just trying to keep some semblance of order in this house of ill repute. So which is it? Take the poll and help us decide whether Jeremy's a total killjoy -- or just the (whiny/irritating) voice of normalcy.
