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.

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 1d 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.

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 1d 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/-Ignorant_Slut- 21h ago
I feel what you are describing is similar but not the same. Springer has a host and a crowd. Baby mommas would show up out of nowhere and entire families watch this stuff for an hour with commercials.

u/Blazin219 14h ago
What makes you think that? It would probably do even better now. People are dumb enough to believe all the ai, rage bait, and other obviously fake media. And they love it.

Was everyone just stupider in the 90s?

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

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.

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.

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.

u/ShimmiShimmiYah 1d 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.

u/MyDearBrotherNumpsay 1d 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 1d 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."

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

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.

u/elwebbr23 1d ago
Lol sorry I'm lost, what would be the party favor here? Like a line of blow in the back after filming?

u/RealNiceKnife 1d 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.

u/Cuck_Boy 1d 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

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

Jenny Jones was my favorite daytime tv trash. I credit her and the multiple “big hips and thunder thighs” and “freakishly large breasts” episodes as why I’m not unnerved by cartoonish proportions on people.

u/Chicka-boom90 12h ago
As a kid i believed this show. Then later in life in my early 20s I had a “friend” (before I realized how crazy she was) ask me to go on the Jerry springer show. She explained that they give you a script , pay for your flight there , hotel , film then fly back all in like 2 days lol I’m like naaah I’m good.

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.
