What Would Ryan Lochte Do?—This reality show on E! chronicles the life of Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte as he trains, parties and spends time with his family. After premiering on April 21, 2013, Lochte’s documentary series left many viewers confused. Lochte, equally famous for his lack of intelligence and his attractiveness, spends much of the show joking around with his family and “Lochterage”—a group of dedicated friends and followers.

Although many claim the song is not as good as Gangnam Style, Gentlemen has faced much more controversy. The lyrics of Gentlemen were called into questions when some believed Psy’s refrain said “Mother father,” while others believed he used profanity.
