My favorite were the phobia shows. Like some lady would come on and cry about how she's scared of cotton balls and then Mid-Sentence a dude in a cotton ball suit would come out and chase her around the studio.
Since he’s too young, maybe Little Ice can not make the margaritas and Ann can not make the guacamole for their next party. They also need a guy named Chip, I’ll let you guess what he can’t make.
One of my cousins was on a show like that. She was also on Sex Sent me to the ER. When she was on the talk show, it was the classic, "Is he the father?". The only issue was that her boyfriend is Korean and her baby is white. We also all knew he'd been on the couch for years. They had her mom (my aunt) call in and call her out. It was pretty entertaining, but sooooooo trashy.
Here's an article (receipts) about the first episode I mentioned:
Also, if anyone is wondering why she had a stroke, she says she discovered she had a rare disease, but munchausen and compulsive lying are common in my family. I'd take it with a grain of salt.
Maury. I used to live in a shitty apartment with roommates and I was frequently unemployed. We got 3 channels on the rabbit ears so yeah I watched a lot of Maury.
Hey that pinecone was a serious incident. A police officer felt threatened and shot his entire magazine into a nearby animal hospital. Thankfully he had loaded baby skull seeking bullets that day instead of the family dog seeking bullets he usually used. Massive casualties were avoided only by officer ButtBite's courageous decision to use baby skull seeking bullets instead of family dog seeking bullets. Everyone knows he has a phobia of family dogs. That poor traumatized man has been bitten 4 times by family dogs, they just hate him. His promotion ceremony is at 5 so we can make the primetime news with it. And in case anyone out there is worried, that villainous child is going to prison for years. He should be locked away for life after he endangered everyone with that pinecone!
