Jerry Springer is one weird show.

[Hoplon]

Welcome to 1996?

Seriously had you not even heard about these shows?

 

[Nudu]

You think the Jerry Springer show is fucked up?! I haven't been this surprised since Ricky Matrin came out of the closet.

 

[Hookman]

I thought The Jeremy Kyle show was bad, then I happened to catch Springer and realised that British scum can't even compare with American scum!

 

[Corporal Yakob]

You ever notice how everytime there's a fight, the first thing the fighters do is start taking their clothes off? Its insane! You already got your 5 mins of fame for sleeping with your best friend's sister's dog we don't need to see your hideous naked flesh!

 

[tokae]

So seriously, what the fuck is up with Jerry Springers show;
SNIP

You do realize it's staged huh?
There will always be a market for shows like that though. Idiots love to watch other idiots. I guess it makes them feel less stupid.

 

[CODE-D]

Someone is very late to a party.
The show is exaggerated, the people onstage are paid to come out and fight even if the problems are real they are paid to ham it up.

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 fucking appetite though so get your bare arse off the TV DAMNIT!!!

Just a little heads-up "tranny" does not equal transvestite, also, "tranny" is the transsexual equivalent of the N-word, please utilize thought processes in the future.

You know what's worse? TLC shows A Baby Story right around lunch time. Because there's nothing I want more to see while eating my lunch than a woman giving birth, with that hazy censored vagina, a pool of blood, and that messy, bloody-covered baby.

Thank you dood I WAS eating

OT

Jerry is a classic in shock TV yet today's Jerry is REALLY tame compared to some of the episodes that came on during the 90's.

OP is way late to the party.

also fails to understand the scripted nature of the show

 

[Queen Michael]

I decided to watch it once. I'd heard it was a guilty pleasure.

The "guilty" part, I get...

 

[Korolev]

While it is staged, it reflects what life is like for some people at the bottom rung of society. And while it is easy (and fun) to laugh at how screwed up the lives of some people can be, it also reflects how horrifically our education system can fail certain members of the public, or how awful some parents can raise their kids (as in, not at all).

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.

This one?
All you do is type in [ Youtube=(Insert Letters in link)] All lower case,no space and no parenthesis though...
OT: Yah I never really got why people watch that show to make fun of it I suppose.

 

[Treblaine]

I've seen some crazy ones, the worst one I think was when they had that crazy guy who wanted to take over the world:


Awful. Awful Television.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

It's essentially a 21st century freak show

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

Except for the fact that Springer started back in the 90s, hence a 20th century freakshow. Perhaps even a bi-centennial freakshow of sorts.

 

[FamoFunk]

I used to like it because it was so hilariously bad. Then I was told it was all fake/staged and I felt a little upset ;_;
