Showcase TV series Kenny vs. Spenny is seeking novel ideas for ways the two friends can indulge in ridiculous bouts of male one-upmanship.

The show is staging a competition in which viewers suggest competitions between Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice, the Kenny and Spenny of the show title.

The pair, friends who cannot resist competing in absolutely everything, had contests during the fifth season to see who could wear a gorilla suit the longest and who could piss off more people.

The sixth season of their show returns Nov. 15 and they plan to include one episode based on an idea from fans.

To enter, fans must be the age of majority, though not necessarily age of maturity, in the province where they live. The competition is only open to Canadians.

"I trust viewers will submit competition ideas that are fair. Fans, my life and sanity are in your hands, treat them kindly," said Rice, who as Spenny loses most of the challenges.
