Jerry Springer is one weird show.

[Bvenged]

I mean seriously, it's been on since 0730 this morning (0915 now) and I just don't get it. I thought this country had some delinquents but wow did I not see that coming; have some people in the states shamed Britain's very worst!

So seriously, what is up with Jerry Springers show; and what was the channel thinking broadcasting it while I'm trying to drink coffee & eat some jammy toast?

I do not want to see a fat transvestite at the best of times, it's just not really my kinda thing, let alone when they're flashing their arse on TV! Sure, sure be a tranny, I don't care - what I do care about is my appetite first thing in the morning though so get your bare arse off the TV!!!

But the program as a whole is funny though, watching "people" argue crap (sometimes literally) then attempt to hurt each other with christmas food at the sound of a ring bell, haha!

EDIT: I've left the TV on and I can still hear it downstairs!

BRB gonna go watch some moar.

That show has been on for a long, long time. I remember seeing it on as a wee lad. So, obviously, it has some kind of market.

I'm tempted to say "No shit Sherlock!" at your title statement since this has been going on for many, many years. I mean for fucks sake, Weird Al made and entire parody song that sums up its content perfectly. Seriously, look it up. I would embed it myself but I don't know how at this time.

Yeah it's called bored grandparents who can't afford cable...<.<

OT: I used to watch it a lot... mostly because that's what my grandma used to have on all the time... that and maury of course...<.<


still just hilarious to see these peoples misfortune as staged as it is...

Actually, that is when I watched it. XD
Who knew that kind of show was a hit with the elderly?

That why I feel the show is very damaging to transgender people, making them out to look like slutty freak shows. Like most media they try to make it out that trans people only exist for the discomfort of others.

OH, then I bore witness to a guy trying to be like Joey from friends showing his hairy arse as an insult; and I lost my appeal with a fit black woman after she started running around the stage with her tits out, spitting everywhere. One but not the other please. It was when I noticed she was spitting and had a missing tooth I lost all appeal & came back upstairs D:

 

[Appleshampoo]

It's all pretty much scripted, although it is still pretty funny =D

But then again, if any of those are actually aspiring actors how many do you think will get roles after appearing on that show?

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Despicable early morning 'deabate' shows? Yeah, we can top that.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Even though it's fake, people watch it to make them feel better about their lives.

It's the same with Ricki Lake, Steve Wilkos, Jeremy Kyle, Maury Povich, etc...

People think, 'Hey, my life may not be the best right now but at least I'm not that guy.'

I saw this one episode where there was this guy and his girlfriend was having an affair with her own twin sister.
I'd love to write that shit.

 

[ZombieHordeKila]

i knew someone that was on jerry springer, just about all of it is made up for entertainment. they take a base story of truth and stretch it so much its just ridiculous

 

[capper42]

It's essentially a 21st century freak show

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm more a fan of Murray. It's not quite as fucked up but still pretty entertaining. There are more than one young women who've been on looking for their baby's daddy. The twist: some of them have been on the show with over a dozen men and still haven't found "dey baby Daddy." Freaking hilarious.

That...That made so much sense, it's not even funny.

 

[TonyVonTonyus]

I think thats all quite apparent by now...espescially when I'm flipping through the channels onto his show and hear "Are you involved in a bi-sexual love triangle? if so call now."

 

[ZeroMachine]

Some people need to watch other people's problems in order to feel better about their own.

Or, as in your case, they just find it hilarious.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

But that's why I like it! Out of the shows that are on at that time, however, "The Steve Wilkos Show" is probably my favorite out of them. Why? 'Cause there are least issues get resolved. That, and I enjoy watching Steve putting down a number of nasty characters,.

 

[wooty]

I gueas it gets them a day in new york city, away from the trailer park for a few hours.

Same with Jeremy Kyle, they probably go on that in order to not attend another benefits hearing.
