The Vice Guide to Everything is a documentary-style show, released in 2010, that takes a look at eccentric, rare, and sometimes taboo topics around the world. The show, produced by MTV and Vice, aims to provide a unique perspective on a wide range of subjects. The show is hosted by three reporters: Ryan Duffy, Shane Smith, and Thomas Morton. Each episode of the show delves into topics that are both culturally and geographically diverse. From taking a trip to Liberia to meeting an eccentric billionaire in Australia, the topics of the show are wide-ranging, and all presented in a way that is entertaining and thought-provoking.

The strong suit of the show is its emphasis on offbeat topics. For instance, one episode features a trip down to South America to track down the King of Cocaine. The show isn't afraid to delve into taboo topics, such as the adult entertainment industry, psychiatric hospitals, and even polar bears. The show's creative team has an innate talent for making the mundane look interesting, and it's hard not to be captivated by what they showcase.

The show's production quality is impressive, with an emphasis on visual aesthetics. The show's filming style uses a handheld camera technique that offers a raw, unfiltered perspective of the topic being discussed. There is no set script for the show, and the reporter's interactions are unscripted, giving the show an organic feel.

What sets The Vice Guide to Everything apart from other travel and lifestyle shows is its investigative and immersive approach to the topics it covers. The hosts are not just observers, they become part of the story as they engage with the people and places they're exploring. For example, in one episode, the hosts go through an extensive training program to become bartenders in Tokyo, Japan. They do this to understand the unique cultural customs associated with the craft of bartending.

In terms of pacing, the show is fast-moving, with each episode being packed with new information and stories. The hosts' interactions with the people they meet along the way is genuinely engaging and authentic. The show gives insight into both the host's own perspectives and that of the locals they interact with.

It's essential to note that the show is not without its controversies. In some cases, the show has been criticized for sensationalizing taboo topics for the sake of entertainment. However, the show's creators argue that the topics are presented in a way that is thought-provoking and offers new perspectives that would otherwise go unseen. The show sheds light on topics and places often forgotten by the mainstream media.

Overall, The Vice Guide to Everything is an engaging and informative show that provides a unique perspective on the cultural, social, and political issues that confront humanity. The show's immersive approach to storytelling is what sets it apart and makes it worth watching. Whether you're a fan of travel shows, documentaries, or just curious about the world around you, The Vice Guide to Everything is a fascinating watch.
