Editorial Reviews

16 PEOPLE...39 HOURS...a lottery ticket for a chance to win A MILLION DOLLARS...who will be the sole...SUFFERER? You think SURVIVING on a deserted island is tough? These contestants are subjected to an even crueler fate. Forced to watch 39 hours of continuous reality TV! They are a motley crew separated into two tribes, Tacky and Ping Pong, suffering through shows like "Little Brother," "The 1999 House," and "The REAL Real World." Who will be the first voted out? Lazy Ramona with her regurgitation problem? Wacky Greg with his TV remote cell phone gag? Maybe Gay Richard with his insistance on parading in the buff? Stay tuned as the players eat disgusting food for a chance at immunity, misspell each others names as they backstab during the final vote, and turn on the host for his incessant need to be overdramatic. Sufferer is the ultimate spoof of the TV phenomenon, and a must for Survivor fans who just can't wait for February's sequel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good For A Few Chuckles, February 9, 2001

This review is from: Sufferer: A Survivor Parody [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a huge fan of SURVIVOR, and I eagerly lap up any related merchandise, so purchasing this tape was a no-brainer. I don't know if it would have any value to someone not familiar with the show, but I thought it was a decent parody. Nothing was roll-on-the-floor funny, but the tape did a good job of lampooning many elements of the show. The reason I didn't rate the tape higher is because it is so short. I don't know the exact running time, but it didn't feel like it was longer than 10 minutes. That puts the cost of this tape at about $1 per minute. The amount of entertainment I got from it isn't worth that much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary Parody - a must see, September 19, 2000

This review is from: Sufferer: A Survivor Parody [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sufferer is the perfect parody, not only of Survivor (of which I am a fanatic fan) but also of the other reality shows currently in vogue. Soooooooo funny and fast moving ... I couldn't stop laughing ... what humorous twists! The cast characterizations are remarkable, almost eerie is an amusing way. I particularly enjoy watching Sufferer on my big screen TV (I watch it again every time a new person comes to visit). And everyone loves the music ... what a catchy chant/tune ... we now go around singing, "yip, yip, yip, yip". This was my first buy on Amazon.com and it was a great one (and easy).

1.0 out of 5 stars Did I watch the same video?, December 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sufferer: A Survivor Parody [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Agreeing with "A viewer from vienna, VA", this has to be the worst video I ever watched. Only 15 minutes long, there was nothing funny about this video at all - not even from a crude or juvenile point of view. There was no catchy music, nobody remotely resembled the character they were portraying, I can't fathom how anyone from any background, age or level of education could find this film to be worth the tape it's copied on to. Doesn't even rate a spot on Atomfilms.com. They say everyone has their 15 minutes of fame, the producers of this film blew theirs ...
