Why Wild ‘N Out might be annoying:

    It gave the world Skete.
    It somehow managed to shoehorn promotion on an America's Next Top Model challenge.They have tried for years to bait Eminem into coming on the show and Marshall continues to just ignore them.
    Mariah Carey is easily the most name-dropped Nick diss (numbering at over 30 references) to the point where it’s no longer even clever anymore.
    Azealia Banks claimed that the entire cast ganged up on her, racially harassed her, and made her cry during the Wildstyle taping for a summer 2018 episode.
    DC Young Fly admitted to making Banks cry, but also claimed that she had threatened to spit on Nick Cannon and brought up his Lupus condition, in retaliation.
    YouTube star Spoken Reasons guested for a 2020 taping, and Emmanuel Hudson accused him of cheating him out of monetized video funds in the freestyle (he struggled openly to even respond to Hudson).
    Nick Cannon was suspended by Viacom after making comments deemed racist and anti-Semitic during an episode of his podcast (July 14, 2020).

Why Wild ‘N Out might not be annoying:

    It has a loyal and devoted fan base.
    Its premise is similar to Whose Line is it Anyway? but with an urban-freestyle component.
    It is a roasting show, but the humor and comebacks are rarely ever mean-spirited.
    It depends on celebrity guests both not taking themselves seriously and being creative/witty on the spot.
    Kanye West is the only person to score a six on the show during the game Wildstyle.
    It is the longest running MTV show and longest running Hip-Hop show in history (as of 2023).
    Nick Cannon is a good sport at his failed marriage being a regular punchline with guests.
    Nick Cannon created the Air Jordan 7 ‘Wild 'N Out’ sneaker with the show’s team colors on the shoe’s design.
    They wisely opted to air the Azealia Banks episode and just let viewers judge for themselves if she had been mistreated (the consensus was overwhelming that she had exaggerated).
    When Nick returned to The Masked Singer after apologizing, he donated his first paycheck to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and was subsequently allowed to resume hosting Wild ‘N Out.
    It significantly raised profiles for up-and-coming Black comedians who lacked mainstream exposure (among them Katt Williams, Affion Crockett and Corey Holcomb).
