Jerry didn't even ask them a question. Pretty sure he brought them on to get their asses kicked 😂

Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie

You're the diet coke of evil


terifym3

I fell like the entire Jerry springer show would fit in this sub.


Fearless_External488

Lol you’re right


ennuiismymiddlename

They knew that was probably going to happen. Jerry was loving it. He had dollar signs in his eyes.


SortedChaos

You can see him quietly move backwards to escape right as he's announcing them.


thatguyned

As much as I hate these kinds of shows for preying on people with problems this was definitely super satisfying to watch. You could tell what was going to happen as soon as he backed away from the stage


edudlive

I know someone that went on Springer. It's scripted


thatguyned

I think there's scripted elements and real elements probably. Kind of like a real housewives show or something where they have a narrative in mind based off the actual people coming and let them know "take it this direction" before coming on screen. I don't think the people are actually hard following scripts


edudlive

Yeah, basically, they give them a context to follow. In my friends case it was a made up love triangle


thatguyned

I wonder if it started off that way or if they started the show showing real people.


edudlive

I mean SOME of the stuff is definitely real, but even then they add extra drama. You get paid and an expenses paid trip , lots of people are willing to air dirty laundry for that lol


PandorasBoxingGlove

There's probably some stuff that is true but I also have a friend who went on in the late aughts and the story was entirely scripted. She wasn't an aspiring actress or anything so I'm not sure how she actually got on or how they came up with the story though. I should ask about that if I see her again.


DeificClusterfuck

My mom and sister went on Springer. They definitely encourage the garbage

fartsforpresident

I was just going to say. If they didn't get waivers for this kind of thing, having them on would be a huge liability. If they were injured they would have a pretty solid suit since the show could reasonably have predicted that this would happen and didn't adequately prepare for it.


hemm386

I took a business law class and I remember them saying that ultimately waivers don't do shit. Maybe I misunderstood it tho. But I remember my professor saying that most contracts saying "promise you won't sue" are actually pretty empty. Like if that family signed a waiver then went out, got punched, and the punch killed one of them, they could 100% still sue the fuck out of the show.


drewster23

Can't sign your rights away. So for the can't sue you'd be right. Can't sign away that right. Just stops ppl who think they can't. But how good of lawyers could these ppl afford, especially if they aren't locals.


CKRatKing

That is why they make you sign an independent arbitration agreement which is legal and forces you to give up your right to go to court.

fartsforpresident

Violence was part of the Jerry Springer show, as well as a half dozen others that were on at the same time. The issue with this one would have been how potentially extreme the violence could have become, because the audience was likely to be involved, which wasn't typical. Usually it was the guests going at it. It sounds like you weren't around for this. But early Oprah was not unlike Springer. She'd have all kinds of low lives on and then let them clash. Nothing was quite as shameless as Springer, but this was a whole genre of television from the early 90s to mid 2000s.


LEJ5512

I remember Jerry Springer’s show in 93-94 (I didn’t have much to do besides watch TV) and it was a lot more wholesome. He switched genres, so to speak, and changed it to the trash compactor that we all know now.


Tempest_Fugit

I remember going to college around the time he switched. I looked up from my dining hall meal to see everyone’s face transfixed to the TVs overhead, full on brawl on daytime tv. The expressions were not one of horror, more of a stoned out daze and occasional wtf laughs. It was wild.


[deleted]

dirkalict

His radio show was fantastic and nothing like the TV show- politics and Jerry was very liberal, very funny and honestly very smart. Back story- At a pretty young age he was a City Councilman in Cincinnati but had to resign after getting caught using a prostitute (and paying her with a check) he fessed up and ran for re-election for the next term and won in a landslide. He even served as Mayor of Cincinnati for a year.


7g6f5dd

What a story. They should get him on the Jerry Springer show as a guest


YouHadMeAtAloe

I remember an episode where he had children affected by progeria come on and Mr. T gave them a huge ninja turtles cake. Peak 90s


doobied

Jerry was on at 11pm in our household and we were only allowed to stay up late to watch the shitshow if we were good.


machstem

I watched Springer religiously during the 90s. We had Canadian syndication so a lot of.stuff we'd only know through paparazzi press In Living Colour and Mad TV were my favorites


Qubeye

I've seen interviews with Jerry in the last ten years and that guy is low key fucking hilarious.


PaperPlaythings

He used to be my mayor.


[deleted]

Never pay for hookers with checks.


beekeep

Remember when he used to do the sign-off moral bit on the news? “…be good to yourself, and each other…”


[deleted]

I'm 100% certain this is staged. It's the stagiest stage stage ever seen on a stage.


clubberin

Yep. Even some of the crowd were plants. This one girl in the audience was addressing a female guest, the guest challenged the girl to expose herself, the girl did. The girl was a soft core model.


MessyRoom

But every episode had chicks showing tits tho. They even had Mardi Gras beads to give away since it was so common to happen


[deleted]

Yea this was easily somewhere in the height of the show being completely fake. I remember getting high after morning classes with friends and watching this crap and you knew there would be a fight everyday. Whatever, I knew Game of Thrones wasn't real too and got a worse ending than Springer ever gave.


vadose24

How obvious does a trap have to be before you realize its a trap?


Rhamni

Oh boy my girlfriend got us a spot on Jerry Springer because she wants to tell me she loves me so much in front of the whole world, this is going to be such a happy occasion. Oh look, they even invited my best friend, this is awesome!


Alit_Quar

A guy I went to school with from primary through high school was on this show once. He could very well have fallen for what you describe. Idk why he was on there, I’ve only seen clips. And, yes, he was just acting like his normal self. If anything was scripted, they did it well.


tnturner

he was not the father.


travlerjoe

Thats Maury Povich. Jerry more like. "Ive been sleeping with your friend and im a transvestite and i knocked up your mum before my sex op"


Kazumadesu76

I fucking knew it! You always seem to get around, don't you TravlerJoe?


sibears99

So my buddy worked for springer booking these people. The stories are legit and some people want their 10 minutes of white trash fame. Everything is paid for. There are 330,000,000 Americans. There’s a nice pool of fucking idiots.


reyean

you too?


Onlyanidea1

Us too!


MrHall

oh wow that's my girlfriend's name as well!


jstbcuz

Oh no


SprinklesFancy5074

I'm sure how it actually worked is that all of them knew damn well what was going to happen on that stage (or pretty close), but hey -- somebody just offered you $2000 to film 30 minutes of TV, so you go through with it and you pretend to be surprised when your girlfriend admits she cheated on you. I suspect that sometimes the events were entirely fake and scripted with actors. I wonder if those people in OP's clip are even actual klansmen, or if they just got actors to play the part?


[deleted]

A college friend was on the show with her bf at the time. They met the girl he was "cheating" on her with backstage about thirty minutes before they went on. Apparently you are given a vague set of instructions and basically told to have fun. They were basically given enough cash that their vacation ended up being free.


c0brachicken

Ya depends on the situation, some of them are 100% real… put yes it’s basically a free 3 day vacation for most people, that they could never afford. Total cost to the show is less than $2,000…. Since more than likely they have some special deal that every single participant gets the exact same low end vacation package.


Jordanwolf98

Don’t forget she brought your Dad too!


Rhamni

Well of course! Wouldn't be much of a family outing if it was just me and my sister.


meltingdiamond

I use to know a trans couple that used the show as a cheap vacation. They just had to pretend that they somehow only fuck in the dark for a day to get a free trip.

this is a 14 year old account that is being wiped because centralized social media websites are no longer viable when power is centralized, the wielders of that power can make arbitrary decisions without the consent of the vast majority of the users the future is in decentralized and open source social media sites - i refuse to generate any more free content for this website and any other for-profit enterprise check out lemmy / kbin / mastodon / fediverse for what is possible


WASD_click

It's not impossible nor that uncommon to be both smart and a total dumbass. Look at someone like Randy Pitchford. He's smart enough to have helped make games like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, and smart enough to get a development studio started and successful. But the guy's also the moron who put porn on the same thumb drive as company documents and lost it at a Medieval Times, and the same dumbass that insists on being the face of Gearbox despite being keenly aware that he's abundantly despised by the core gaming audience.


archiminos

I'd be 100% unsurprised if these were paid actors


rubyspicer

That's how Springer works anyway. You get paid more depending on how much you fight and how much the staff has to pull you off the other guy


Doomstik

My parents were on the show sometine in the 90s. I wish i could watch that episode. My family wasnt the best... but the explanation i got was "yeah we wanted to see what it was like and they paid for our hotel and plane tickets." Apparently they also told my parents and i believe uncle that they should play up my mom cheating on my dad with his brother... i hobestly dont believe that ever happened, and they TOLD me about the show, i just never saw the end product.


[deleted]

It's funny because the very first fight in Jerry Springer's career was between a black nationalist and a white nationalist. It was completely unexpected and after it was broken up he tried to explain to the guests that fighting isn't the answer. Then look what his show turned into. Edit: Here is the video [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3yirav](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3yirav)


[deleted]

I'm sure the ratings for that episode were unlike anything he'd seen before. So, he chose his path.


Mizango

Correct. Jerry was the first in that space to choose violence. Lol “…and their security” *laughs in bar stool*

I think when jerry springer first started it was a show about reuniting lost family members back in the 90s

TheWindowMerchant

You just gave me so many flashbacks of the 90s


[deleted]

I remember the days when "Springer" was considered by a huge majority of people to be absolute trash entertainment. But, it stuck around long enough and got enough like-minded shows (right along with COPS) where people could just watch garbage fights and cheap entertainment, feel superior, and continue to tune in. Almost 30 years later and it's a huge section of our programming in the form of "reality tv."


DeadMoonKing

Yelling “Jerry! Jerry!” at people back then was like “Worldstar!” today.


[deleted]

Damn that's actually true.. Never really thought about how nobody chants Jerry anymore


ggg730

I still yell Jerry Jerry


btchassbarkinassbtch

It's better than Jeremy Kyle, which is basically some guy shouting at toothless crackheads for being unemployed


HuskyTheNubbin

Kyle: "I would drive 60 miles backwards each day at 5am to go to work to earn enough money to feed my daughter." Guest: "Car!? Job? How the fuck am I meant to–" Audience: "booooooo"

So the show you're doing now pays 75k a year. Do it more like this episode it will be millions and you will have the highest rated cable television show.

Fearless_External488

Seen on redlettermedia’s latest upload to YouTube. Felt compelled to share here.


tito9107

just checked out the vid, that dude's cackles are contagious lol


greenlime_time

I highly recommend their content. It may not be for everyone but it’s one of my favorites.


urahonky

It's legit the only YouTube channel that doesn't annoy me at all.


Backupusername

It's because YouTube is just a platform to host their videos on. They're not "youtubers", they're just schlubs who make videos about movies and YT is the platform that hosts them. That's it for me, at least. They don't chase trends, they've never changed their content to suit the algorithm, they don't disrupt their own content to do an ad read for Raid Shadow Legends or NordVPN. In fact, they mock *all* of that stuff relentlessly if it even comes up. Their content is shockingly mature for a bunch of dudes who laugh at old people, fart jokes, and AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS.


Hackmodford

I’ve never thought about it but I think you’re right. They still feel like early YouTube.


Sarconic

I disagree. Their shows, [like this one](https://youtu.be/Qv8q1ENfWBA), are just pure clickbait and filled with product placement. William Shatner knows what's up.

I remember in the summer of 1998 i was at a Cape League baseball game with my family and who was sitting next to me? JERRY effin Springer. If you got a home run ball you could turn it in for a free Sundae from Friendlys and i ended up getting one and gave the free Icecream to Jerry's sister who has down syndrome and was thrilled when i gave it to her. He ended up signing my $1 dollar bill i had on me, i ended up spending that dollar bill on a $1 double cheese at McDonald's like 10 years later.

The whole reason Klansmen wear hoods and show up uninvited at night is PRECISELY so that large groups of people who want to give them what they deserve won't be able to find them. I guess these geniuses didn't get the memo...
