| 1 | * ButIPlayOneOnTV: Not even playing one. Xzibit simply presented a show about cars being modified, and he describes even "middle aged soccer moms" coming up to him asking him to modify their husband's car. |
| 2 | --> "You saw me at the beginning and you saw me at the end. I wasn't there in the middle, I didn't do shit to those cars!" |
| 3 | * CreatorBacklash: |
| 4 | ** Many participants were unhappy with their modified cars and how the show made them film fake scenes of them being excited when presented with their "pimped ride." They also hated how the show made it look like their cars' modification only took a few days when they had to go more than half a year without reliable transportation. |
| 5 | ** Seth Martino was unhappy with how his episode focused revolved how his weight, with misrepresenting him as a gluttonous candy addict and giving him a cotton candy machine in his car's trunk. |
| 6 | ** Xzibit only did the show "so MTV would play my videos" and grew fed up with being considered TheFace of it and having people harass him for changes they didn't like done to the cars - pointing out he was just the presenter and had no say in any of the modifications. |
| 7 | * DuelingShows: With TLC's ''{{Series/Overhaulin}}'''. |
| 8 | * MemeAcknowledgment: Mixed in with CreatorBacklash being PlayedForLaughs. Xzibit responded to all the "Yo Dawg" memes by posting [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/788-xzibit-yo-dawg an angry selfie of himself on his Twitter]] about how he shaved off his hair to dissociate himself so he'll never have to deal with the meme ever again. Though he later admitted he didn't mind and even attempted his own shot at the meme (though it has since then been deleted). |
| 9 | * StarDerailingRole: Xzibit says that the series ended up hurting him as MTV had him shooting his segments for months on end, which prevented him from touring and producing new material right as his music career was on an upswing. |
| 10 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: Participants had to sign contracts that forbade them from ever selling their modified cars. |
