VIDEO: the NY Giants are not good at MTV’s Silent Library

By ArtieFufkin

I haven’t watched MTV in years … ya know, pretty much since they stopped playing MUSIC and opted to only show cheap/crappy reality programming.  But apparently, one of their newer shows is a game show of sorts called “Silent Library”, and an upcoming episode features six members of the New York Football Giants. And in late June, that’s close enough to football news for us!

Here’s the basic premise of the show [via HotClicks]:

“A team of six contestants attempts a series of offbeat challenges to win money. The show is set in a library, so the players must remain quiet. The contestants draw cards, and the player who gets the one with skull and crossbones must complete a bizarre task or endure an unusual punishment. If they do so without laughing, the show’s host, Zero Kazama, awards them money. But if the team cracks up or is otherwise too loud, they lose.”

Pretty simple, right? But it’s oddly hilarious, even if it does end up sounding like 30 minutes of Muttley from the Hanna Barbara cartoons. And as these clips demonstrate, this group of Giants players – Kevin Boss, Chris Snee, Shaun O’Hara, David Diehl, Rich Seubert & Dave Tollefson – are not very good at this game.

In the above clip C Shaun O’Hara has to pedal a bike that shoots tennis balls at his face. Clearly, his teammates take great pleasure in watching this, end up laughing WAY to loudly, and thus losing.  And when TE Boss gets the treatment from a toothless old man, you can probably guess that it ends in a similar fashion:
