Info

Con is a television series on Comedy Central in which con artist Skyler Stone revealed the secrets of his profession by performing confidence tricks, scams, and hoaxes of various degrees of complexity on camera. These could range from simply claiming that an order for food was botched, to claiming to be a certain profession, which required training. In one episode Stone showed how he received free soft drinks at fast food restaurants by retaining paper cups from various fast food restaurants and then refilling them at soda fountains. Most of his cons revolved around him claiming that he is filming a television show or movie of some sort, and that the product or service he wished to acquire would be advertised in the film or show. The products did wind up getting free advertisement – but on Con, not where they were told.

Con Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
dabrahamson-97469 I don't hate it as much as most of the reviewers here seem to but this was not a very good show. It was just a host who pretends to con people out of stuff, and most of his cons aren't even that clever. Carrying around your old fast food restaurant cups in a bag in your trunk just to get free drink refills? That's a pretty pathetic con and super gross to think about actually doing with a gross old garbage cup. Taking receipts out of garbage bins and using them to complain you didn't get your food is just sad too, maybe that's a good con for a homeless person who is starving though. Holding tree branches in front of no parking signs and taking a picture of it to get out of a $20 parking ticket is just sad too and also again not a clever con it's just lying, plus you'd have to spend half a day in court and perjure yourself how is that worth it? The host was not likable or funny. I give it a 4 because it wasn't a total train wreck and I think it deserves a higher rating than it has now. Why does everyone always seem to vote 1 or 10?
Glorback Anyone who seriously believes this crap is real is just plain stupid. Even if it was, it would still suck. It's a bunch of sleazy trash, plain and simple.Skyler Stone isn't a genuine con man. He's just a smug moron who somehow managed to get his own show. Gah...I can't stand seeing that stupid smirk on his face. The only people he's fooling are the 60 IQ audience.Unfortunately we may see a small wave of idiot kids who try to imitate this garbage and think they're uber slick con men.It's unbelievable how much crap gets on the comedy network nowadays. I thought they reached their lowest point with You Bet your ass". How wrong I was. Hell, I'd almost rather watch Girls Will be Girls...Oh wait...no I wouldn't. But seriously, don't bother with this pathetic excuse for a show.
General_G Skylar Stone came up with quite a clever show, but he kind of made it obvious that it was fake. On one episode he vandalized a street sign that said no parking so he could get out of a parking ticket. He spray painted right over the words! That illegal! What I did like about the show is that it was just clever like getting a free dinner or make over or any of the other ones he did. The show couldn't of been very successful though because if the show got famous everybody would know who he was and know Mike St. Aubin wasn't a real person. My favorite episode was the Brad Pitt episode. You got bitched Brad Pitt look alike!
ivko I thought this show would be about cons, and in a way it was. I was conned out of about 20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. The "cons" in the pilot episode range from the moronic, where Skyler shows us how to save fast food cups to get free soda (wow!) to the downright offensive, where he prepares to fake being homeless by visiting actual homeless in LA and asking them if his clothes look crappy enough for him to pass as one of them. He then unveils his cover story; you know, the reason why he went crazy and now lives on the street. This leads to an unexpectedly funny moment when a homeless man, clearly baffled at this elaborate and stupid story, points out that all the reason you need to be homeless is to be hooked on crack. The remainder of the cons in the show revolve around Skyler convincing businesses to donate their services for free in exchange for being mentioned on a fictional TV show. The irony, of course, is that this really is on TV so the businesses haven't really been conned at all. All in all, I would guess that legal constraints prevent Skyler and company from showing actual cons, so the show will always be sophomoric pranks instead. Bottom line, skip 'Con' and rent 'The Sting'.
