Product description Simple Life 2 .com For Depression-era audiences, much of the fun of screwball comedies such as It Happened One Night and My Man Godfrey, was the pleasure of watching rich people act like loons or get their redemptive comeuppance from some Average Joe. The same vicarious kicks are at play in the sophomore season of The Simple Life, in which Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie drive from Florida to California. With no cash or credit cards, they must depend on the kindness of strangers (invariably nonplussed men whom the ladies approach for handouts at toll booths, gas stations, or fast food joints). The series takes great delight in putting the pampered and privileged duo in embarrassing situations, such as getting them jobs as maids at a nudist resort. But through it all, our uneasy riders are game for almost anything and never lose their 'tude. And just when their antics try the viewers' patience or sympathy (at the nudist resort, they shamelessly goldbrick on the job, posing as guests and calling for a maid to clean up the room for which they are responsible), they somehow redeem themselves. On a cattle drive, they pull a City Slickers and save one steer from slaughter. But comeuppance? These girls don't know the meaning of the word (insert your own joke here). They are forced to take it from several of their less-than-impressed hosts, but they also dish it out, as witness one episode in which one unwitting antagonist is served a dog food sausage courtesy of Nicole. How much of this is staged is probably beside the point. The Simple Life is unreality television at its most addictive. Fasten your seatbelts. --Donald Liebenson

Crazy fun show!! Why? Keep reading!!
This show is all-around just fun. It's not meant to be some great television show, nor some extremely real reality show. It's just what it is.I find it very funny to see grown people getting mad at this show and then making fun of Paris and Nicole for being stupid and spoiled. Because what those adults don't seem to understand is that the entire SHOW is making fun of Paris and Nicole being stupid and spoiled. Paris and Nicole are also BOTH making fun of themselves being stupid and spoiled. They have a good sense of humor about themselves and their public image, so they were making fun of it with this show. That was kind of the entire point.I find it absolutely ridiculous that grown adults still have that mentality of "NO! I'M ALLOWED TO MAKE FUN OF YOU BUT WHEN YOU JOIN IN AND START LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE." Grow up, people. Stop taking everything so goddamn seriously.The show is absolutely hilarious if you take it for what it is and just admire the girls for having a sense of humor about who they are. People just need to take a step down off of their OWN blue collar thrones and stop thinking that Paris and Nicole are beneath them simply because they're always in the spotlight. It's not a crime to be silly. In fact, it's BETTER not to take yourself too seriously. After all, what fun is life if you're acting like every single second needs to be spent with a serious look on your face?This show is great at what it does. It's just a shame that some people are extremely prejudiced against the two girls.

Better than the first season.
The first season was good but this one is much better. The story now is that Paris and Nicole have to drive from Miami to Beverly Hills (they travel in a trailer). Once again without cash, credit cards or cell phones.This season has 10 episodes, all them very funny but my favorites are the ones where they go to work to a hotel as housekeepings. It's very funny because instead of working they call room service like they were hotels guests and when they're eating they call a housekeeper to make the room they had to clean. And my other favorite one is when they go to work to a sausage factory and they simply make a mess. All the episodes are very good, like one they go to work to a men prison, in another they work in a beauty salon.Paris and Nicole make a great couple, each one in her own style but finally they are outrageous.This DVD contains great special features including a lost episode from season one and never before seen footage.With this show you won't laugh a lot but you definitely won't get bored.Finally I want to say that with the languages and subtitles appears that there are Spanish subtitles but they don't work. I don't know why maybe just happends with my disc because I've tried with 3 machines. Notice that if you don't speak English.

Paris and Nicole are Devilish, Delightful and needed in this world
I am a 41 female artist who "by accident" was channeling flipping and caught the first two episodes of SIMPLE LIFE 2 on E! channel as part of a repeat promo. I started laughing so hard I was crying while watching the antics of Paris and Nicole- I am sure my neighbors thought I was insane. I was lucky to catch all of SIMPLE LIFE 1 on the weekend marathon via E! Channel and then rushed out to get the rest of SIMPLE LIFE 2 on dvd because I couldn't wait to see it. I also rented SIMPLE LIFE 3. Simple Life 2 is the best, then simple life 3 then Simple Life 1. All are good. The MUST NOT miss episodes for Simple Life 2 are working as maids at EL CALIENTE (the nudist colony )and the Sheriff Office stint in texas while the girls are staying at Click ranch. If you are in need of a spiritual lift via laughter I suggest you RUN and get SL2. Nicole is a modern day Mae West and people were making fun of me for loving this series. OF COURSE they hadn't seen any of it and saying they didn't want to watch those "dumb" girls. It is obvious anyone who judges this without watching it is an idiot. I hope Nicole and Paris can mend their rift- I hear they are filming SL4 but without interacting ( huh??????!!!!). They are a modern day Laurel & Hardy mixed with Puck from a Mid Summer Night's Dream mixed with Mae West etc. Loves it!

You can't look away!
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are not good role models. That is a given. They behave in a selfish and obnoxious way.But once you start watching their antics, it's almost impossible to look away. It's enthralling, watching them show up to "work" in insanely inappropriate outfits. Making a dog food sausage and giving it to someone they dislike. Letting their dogs poop in the field during a baseball game. Living in a trailer park!You just have to watch to see what's going to happen next, no matter how appalling it might be.There are also some sweet moments, where you might actually find yourself liking the girls, a least a little bit. This is especially true in the episode in which they make a 13-year-old girl over for her first date and keep a watchful eye on the awkward pair. They seem genuinely interested in helping the girl.Even if you sneer in digust at this spoiled pair, it's hard not to be entertained.

And to those who said we couldn't, we did.
In the next installment of this wildly hilarious series, famous for no reason celebrities, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie take their hijinks to the road. Their range of work includes maids at a nudist colony to helping a minor league baseball team prep. And they are sure to never miss a beat. Nicole Richie provides most of the humor, usually making absurd comments about her life as a "masseuse in Korea twenty years ago," or telling a teenage boy that the girl he first kissed is "knocked up on the street." And as usual, Paris Hilton is shocked to discover that not everyone grows up in a mansion. The episodes are very short (each runs roughly twenty minutes), yet the humor and outrageous stunts these girls pull is well worth the money. For example, after ordering more food than they could pay for, Nicole tries to convince the manager that he gave her food with bitemarks in it and insists he take it back. Need I say more? Sure, there are other products that could be bought for this amount, but none will bring this much hilarity. I STRONGLY recommend this.

The Worst Season!
I love every single series of The Simple Life (series 3 is my favourite), but I have to say that this series is complete crap! It hasn't got that many episodes and they just were that funny at all. The other four are WAY better. No wonder why I don't remember watching this one on TV.

Entertainment garanteed
I bought this after buying series one and it has kept me entertained all holiday. However, you definately don't have to have seen series one before watching this one because everything is explained in the first episode in this series. Highly amusing and I can garantee you will find yourself laughing.
