Boiling Points is a reality television show broadcast on MTV in the United States. In each half-hour episode, annoying situations are set up and deliberately inflicted on one or more young adults. Examples include poor or incompetent service in a store or restaurant, being accosted by a date's ex-love interest while out together, and unprovoked rudeness from a total stranger. If the subject of the show refrains from displaying a temper and storming off for a certain length of time, he or she is rewarded with a prize of $100.
