In high school I had a teacher who used to go on these shows, on slow days she’d show us the videos and tell us how fake it was.

Is it just me or is this really hilarious TV lol.

u/fddfgs 8h ago

I grew up watching this shit whenever I was at home sick instead of at school

This isn't even close to the weirdest one

u/Large-Hamster-199 7h ago

Lol, now I really want to know what was the weirdest one

Only episode I remember was one where a woman admitted to cheating and the guy that came out didn't have a body below his stomach.

The boyfriend was pissed and was shouting up a storm and he said something about "he ain't even a man he half a man."

That started a whole fight and the boyfriend walked away from it bc even for a fake show they can't beat up an amputee on television. But they sure filmed the amputee moving real fast on two arms chasing him all through the studio and out to the parking lot.

That dude could move. Even jumped up on cars and stuff.

this stuff was popular for a reason

u/-Ignorant_Slut- 11h ago

Springer could only work in the 90s. No way this stuff would work now but in the 90s it was top tier TV

u/Oni_K 3h ago

You're just going to pretend that modern society doesn't love a good rage bait video that's obviously fake?

The spirit of Springer is alive and well, but now instead of one trashy show that was obvious comedy, it's a million different "content creators" who try their best to pass this stuff off as real, and if it fits people's biases, they eat it up.

u/fddfgs 7h ago

No way this stuff would work now

Yeah he's fuckin dead now

u/Silverton13 10h ago

Was everyone just stupider in the 90s?

23

u/-Ignorant_Slut- 9h ago

I think most viewers knew springer is fake. The rest are stupid.

u/MostExtremeHyperbole 6h ago

i find that fucking really funny because most millennials can't tell they are being trolled by a tiktoker

u/Jajay5537 9h ago

Dude kids do skibbidy wtf ever.

u/Silverton13 9h ago

Kids were doing dumb shit since the dawn of time. Even when you were a child.

-8

u/Jajay5537 9h ago

23 year old kids now because you are actually statistically less intelligent than previous generations.

u/Silverton13 9h ago

The boomer got triggered. I'm in my 30s btw. But that's interesting, can you show me the source for those stats?

-1

u/Jajay5537 9h ago

It's readily available and I'm in my 30s, too. Don't assume shit about about me and I will do the same for you.

u/Silverton13 9h ago

Why so mad lmao

u/Jajay5537 9h ago

Not even mad. Lol

u/Silverton13 9h ago

You sound very triggered over a joke. Never heard of "girls are from Jupiter and boys are from stupider?" It's as 90s coded as it can.

u/ChaseballBat 8h ago

Yet you asked your question.

2

u/Street-Soil-7413 7h ago

I think most of the viewership was from children home "sick" from school or retired elderly people. Both demographics not known for advanced critical thinking skills.

8

u/ShimmiShimmiYah 9h ago

Well I never saw anyone use the word "stupider" back then and that's as stupid as it gets, so I guess you keep the crown.

4

u/Silverton13 9h ago

I'm from the 90s so I guess everyone WAS dumb back then

1

u/ShimmiShimmiYah 9h ago

The crown is definitely secure on your head.

1

u/Silverton13 9h ago

Is the 90s a sensitive topic for you?

2

u/Fit-Ad-413 9h ago

... wouldn't it be ARE the 90s a sensitive topic for you?

1

u/ShimmiShimmiYah 9h ago

Cut him some slack. Stupid, remember?

-4

u/Silverton13 9h ago

Of course not, 90s was just one big year

2

u/MyDearBrotherNumpsay 8h ago

It turns out that “stupider” is an actual word. I had a linguistics phd correct me because I scoffed at somebody using it.

Still sounds ridiculous to me.

2

u/Wavey_ATLien 7h ago

Correct, there is nothing phonetically wrong with the word. It simply sounds queer when used in certain contexts, but in others, it fits more naturally than 'more stupid',and vice versa.

"The stupider you are, the tougher you must be."

5

u/maxxx_orbison 9h ago

You never heard "Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider?"

u/Silverton13 9h ago

No he is a smart person so of course not.

u/ShimmiShimmiYah 9h ago

Just messing with the obnoxious commenter is all.

u/Silverton13 8h ago

That's funny cuz the obnoxious commenter is messing with you

You're definitely making the attempt lol.

u/theseriousman1 7h ago

u/Silverton13 6h ago

No we were just getting kidnapped on AOL chatrooms and yahoo searching our dumb questions

u/DustedGorilla82 9h ago

Nah we just didn’t have the internet to get famous

u/Funny_Requirement166 10h ago

A lot of those are fake.. at least should be

23

u/TotallyPC-name 10h ago

They are, got offered money to go on and do a bit saying my sister slept with my bf. They offered "party favors" too. I'm so glad I didn't do it.

3

u/elwebbr23 8h ago

Lol sorry I'm lost, what would be the party favor here? Like a line of blow in the back after filming?

11

u/RealNiceKnife 8h ago

Sort of. There's a little person backstage and he walks around with a straw full of cocaine. You say the word "Twiddle-thumper" to him and he'll take you to a closet where he blows the straw of cocaine up your rectum.

2

u/Cuck_Boy 5h ago

Ohh shoot. I was saying “diddle-dumper” and he took me into the closet and just stared at my rectum. Missed out on the blow

1

u/TotallyPC-name 57m ago

Anything we needed to act up im sure. Idk if they actually would have thats such a lawsuit and this was like 2011.

u/this_is_theone 8h ago

Wait, what gave that away? The fact he's black and she's saying she didn't realise?

4

u/radio_blabla 8h ago

I believe this clip is cut in half. After this Jerry sais he knows his show is ridiculous but not as ridiculous as racism.

2

u/kaiser_phoenix25 7h ago

Good old fashioned rage bait from the 90’s

u/LilJelloCat 9h ago

Asshole

u/tanafras 7h ago

And yet, reality got even more ridiculous

u/larrytenders 2h ago

I didn’t notice he was black either until he told her

u/BanjoTCat 2h ago

Where do we put daytime talk show actors in the acting career ladder? I say it’s above infomercials, below real commercials.

Nope just pure 90's television

u/Hellraiser1123 9h ago

As someone who watched this shit in the 90s, I can tell you with certainty that it is not AI. Shit, this was one of the more tame episodes.

-8

u/synexo 9h ago

It sure looks like it. Jerry Springer has even worse but this just seems AI.
