About Us

Welcome to GUY CODE, the official blog of MTV2's "Guy Code" series and your online destination for all things dude, including—but not limited to—irreverent commentary on sports, hip-hop and ladies. Stay awhile and flex your manhood.

There's zero chance of public embarrassment by installing a pullup bar in your doorway, but it won't get you ripped all over (see photo above), so you need to hit the gym. Over at BroBible, comedian Jared Freid from MTV's "Failosophy" helps you minimize the shame by avoiding these mistakes:

Wear Gloves

If you need gloves, a weight belt, wrist wraps or any other device, then there is a part of your body that is not strong enough to lift that weight; hence, YOU are not strong enough to lift that weight.

Give Advice

Unless your shirt says "trainer" on it, don't talk to me. The Men's Health you read on a plane does not make you an expert. Please just stare and judge like a normal person.

Carry A Gallon Jug

How much water are you going to drink over the course of an hour? There must be a gallon jug workout that I didn't know about where you carry it around the perimeter of the gym while wearing a sleeveless shirt and shaking your head in agreement with some person you are never with.

Give Body Compliments

"Nice traps, man," "You're crushing those lats, dude," "The biceps are getting big, buddy," "You're getting lean, brosef," "Sweet penis!"

Winter's over, which means it's marathon season...not like weather matters to lunatics who run in Antarctica. We admire any guy who builds up his endurance to peak condition, but you'd be better off hitting the treadmill than competing in these events collected at Dumb As A Blog:

Antarctic Marathon and North Pole Marathon

Sub-zero temperatures, extreme winds and the promise of running on ice floes. If you're truly insane, you can choose the 62.1-mile ultra marathon. To train for these events they recommend running on treadmills in giant industrial freezers. If that's not dumb, we don't know what is.

Marathon du Medoc

With 23 wine stations along the 26-mile route, this marathon in the Bordeaux region of France doesn't skimp on stupidity. There's also a drunken pasta party the night before and foie gras, oysters and cheese to nibble during your run. The first one to finish without gaining 50 pounds wins!

Zombie Obstacle Course Race

It's a 5K you can participate in that involves running away from unemployed actors in cheap makeup. Comes with an "Apocalypse Party," featuring hula hoop competitions and games of musical chairs.

Home runs are cool, but the two most exciting things in baseball are the bench-clearing brawl and the manager meltdown. In a brawl, the best part is when the fat-ass manager gets involved. With baseball season starting, we have a long summer of getting to watch managers lose their s**t. To prep, here are some GIFS of our favorite meltdowns.

Annual Angola Prison Rodeo Turns Inmates Into Cowboys

Aren't you tired of watching the same old, boring sports year after year? Aren't the Super Bowl and March Madness getting kinda dull? No? We don't think so either...but if mainstream athletics don't offer you enough action, there's plenty to be found elsewhere if you know where to look.

For example, betting your life savings on where a chicken will take a dump. You can't turn on ESPN and watch Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith argue about these events, but maybe that's a good thing.

1. Angola Prison Rodeo

At the last prison rodeo in the U.S., spectators get to watch prisoners (who are not allowed to train or practice beforehand) ride bulls and rope broncos. There's even an event called convict poker where four prisoners play cards in the middle of the arena. The winner is the only guy that isn't kicked out of his chair by the bull. It's basically the closest thing we have to the Roman Coliseum.

2. Man Vs. Horse Marathon

This event in Wales tries to determine whether man or beast is supreme. Runners race against riders on horseback for 22 miles across various terrain. Although the event began in 1980, a human didn't win until 2004.

On last night's "Guy Code" (watch the full episode), you learned how to act when you're at the game. Unfortunately, there's plenty of guys who've got no clue. It's impossible to have fun with certain types of fans around you acting like utter idiots. Paying for a loss should be the least of your worries if you fall under any of the following categories.

1. The Guy Who Cries After Every Call

Refs miss calls all the time, sure, but don't bemoan their every mistake. They can't hear you from section 6,000 anyway.

2. The Guy Who Roots Too Hard For The Away Team

Unless you're, say, an OKC transplant living in Charlotte, you'll make yourself a target by heckling the home players, especially if you've got your squad's jersey on. Acting like a d*ckhead on top of rooting behind enemy lines usually ends with an argument and/or your head smashed in by the local hooligans.

Hats off to fans who brings signs to the stadium. We personally enjoy holding beer and/or hotdogs at the game, but these heroes of free speech forgo those pleasures to entertain the rest of us. Here's a comprehensive taxonomy of signs you'll find at the ballpark, ice rink or wherever else players earn substantial sums of money.

Watching sports on TV just isn't the same as being in the stadium. First off, the players look waaay larger in person. Secondly, you can heckle 'em if you don't like 'em.

In this advance clip, the "Guy Code" cast teaches you how to mess with the other team's heads. Study these techniques for the next time you sneak down to the good seats, and then watch the full episode Tuesday at 11/10c on MTV2.

Expect to feel bad about your lack of accomplishments at least once during the NCAA Tournament. It might hit as you watch a 19-year-old perform some impossible athletic feat. Or maybe during a feature about the hardships some kid's overcome. Regardless of what brings it on, the sense of failure will make you reach for another delicious Cool Ranch taco.

But if you watch 'til the end of the game, you're sure to see one thing that'll make any guy on his couch feel superior to an athlete on TV: Uncontrollable sobbing when the buzzer sounds. It's an opportunity to remind yourself that, even though your meandering life is going nowhere, at least you've never turned into a blubbering baby on TV, like these guys...

Mike-Bruesewitz2

Sometimes when I'm watching a Lakers game, I'll catch a glimpse of Steve Blake shuffling down the court with his weird head, and think to myself, "Seriously? He's in the NBA? I could beat that dude!" Obviously I'm wrong. Even though he looks like McLovin, Blake is actually a good basketball player. And compared to nonathletic dudes with one bad knee (like me), he's LeBron ChamberJordan.

College hoops is full of Steve Blakes--guys who look more like an usher in an arena than a player on the floor. And when you see these guys during the tournament, you're going to think, "I could beat that dude!" Rest assured, you can't.

Below is an All-Star team of those guys. Just remember, no matter how much they look like a trainer who snuck into a jersey, these guys are playing basketball on TV and you're sneaking around the office trying to watch them. There's a reason for that.

March Madness has descended upon us, and every guy has an opinion about which NCAA team is gonna come out on top. After all, the fun isn't just watching basketball; it's picking the perfect bracket, placing the right wager and avoiding work to hover over any device that shows your favorite team's standings.

A mountain of desktop and mobile apps can assist in your quest for bragging rights. We can't guarantee your favorite team wins, but at least your lack of sleep over the next few weeks will seem worthwhile.
