Future episodes

Names of future episodes are given at IMDB and TV Guide, but I'm not sure if they are reputable enough to be cited. --96.52.131.167 (talk) 23:16, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Needs new section for season 2

Episode 13 isn't a season 1 episode. Coin Collecting John (talk) 20:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Episode 13+ are being sold via Google Play as Season 2. Same on Amazon. FoxxtrotRemade (talk) 20:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There also a podcast related to the show

here's is the link. Should this be included in the article or in an other article altogether?

Can we make a separate page for the list of episodes? I don't know how to do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.209.242 (talk) 03:26, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The podcast would be great to discuss here, as each of the experts goes much further in depth when discussing their topics. Perhaps the podcast should have a seperate article, though. Iambubbles (talk) 18:32, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Experts and descriptions of Episodes

Each episode description should be lengthened and expanded, especially to include the names of each expert brought on to the show, and perhaps to even include the sources they site. Each expert should also have an article written about them, if they do not already have one. Iambubbles (talk) 18:32, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion of the Season Count

There seem to be a confusion behind the number of seasons for the show. FoxxtrotRemade mentioned that the basis of the season count presented here is through Google Play and Amazon. But shouldn't the basis of the count be from the actual show? In the episode "Adam Ruins Malls," Emily mentioned that Adam is less annoying in the previous season (season 1), or something like that. Let's say you do want to base the count on Amazon. Better check the link again. It now presents that the show to having 4 seasons, not 2, even though it's IMDb counterpart still says it has 2 seasons. If you try heading over to TV.com, it will display in its episode guide that the show currently has 3 seasons and 1 special. Now, according to a press release from TruTV^[1], they announced another confusion to the season count while the re-animated episodes are part of that season^[2]. TJ 11:07, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Additionally, there seems to be a disagreement within the article. The header refers to "3 seasons" but the season list references 5 (as of today). I think that the article must at least agree with itself. Seeing as the official website <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trutv.com/shows/adam-ruins-everything/index.html#full-episodes |title=Adam Ruins Everything - truTV}}</ref> mentions 3 seasons, I propose that the episode list be updated based on TruTV's count (which seems to match the production order) -TG 04:39, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Steven Crowder

Please discuss the edits about Steven Crowder here. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:24, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To me it isn't relevant. Crowder fails RS all over the place and even as opinion is not useful. Zero Serenity ^{(talk - contributions)} 20:49, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This show is inaccurate and intentionally misleading

I was horrified to see this wikipedia depicted this show in a positive light.

The automotive episode is riddled with errors if someone needs a starting point. I also googled 'adam ruins everything debunked' and there were plenty of sources for other episodes.

This article should be written with less bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TangleUSB (talk • contribs) 15:22, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

The show has been heavily criticised on YouTube by many other creators. If I were to include this criticism, I know that it would be immediately removed. How could we go about adding criticism that isn’t removed?49.198.38.238 (talk) 12:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Crowder Round 2

I'm feeling this criticism is insubstantial and lends a little too much to a youtube rant as opposed to a proper opinion article. I think including it gives too much weight to the idea. Zero Serenity ^{(talk - contributions)} 19:43, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Crowder hosts the largest independent news channel on YouTube. ([1][2]) The idea that a prominent, notable conservative commentator, responding to an argument in a politically controversial topic, is not substantial or encyclopedic is inane. Calling his commentary a "rant" is simply an ad hominem argument, and irrelevant. The point is that Conover says 27% to 40% of undocumented border crossers would not be averted by a border wall, and Crowder has responded to this by advocating a wall because stopping up to 60% of them makes it a valid solution. The idea that this is "not of encyclopedic" interest" is without merit.

If you can falsify the above -- if you can actually present a coherent argument as to why a notable conservative commentator's criticism of a public policy advocated by the (much as a science excerpt critiqued an episode pertaining to science) should not be included in the article, then please present it. So far, everything I've seen offered to exclude this has been threadbare. Nightscream (talk) 18:37, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While I don't consider Crowder to be a reliable source, I don't think that should necessarily disqualify him from being included in the criticism section. However, as mentioned on the edit page, Crowder's criticism of Adam Ruins Everything has not been reported or discussed by any reliable sources (unless you can cite an example), which leads me to say that the criticism not suitable for inclusion. I also think that the criticism is too specific to one topic, as opposed to a broader criticism of the show itself.

As for my personal opinion on the subject, I don't think the criticism itself is very strong. Crowder does not refute the main point that a large portion of immigrants would not be stopped by a border wall, and provides no solid evidence that the cost of a border wall will offset the cost of ~60% of illegal immigration going forward. Also, the 60% to 70% figure that Crowder cites is dubious; the Wikipedia page on Illegal immigration to the United States suggests that a majority of illegal immigration now results from visa overstays as opposed to illegal border crossings. Perhaps this isn't the place for debate though. --24.252.247.55 (talk) 03:15, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
