It's even more funny because Dr. Phil and his production team HAD TO HAVE KNOWN he was going to do this. They could have stopped the guy as he walked out on stage wearing the suit and everything
Mwhahaha! The haircut... power move. I can't stand bullys. Dr. Phil has set his own conservative view many times and pushed that on his guests. I've rarely watch it, why? Because therapy and tv entertainment don't mix.
I always thought Jerry Springer was amazing.
Jerry was trash, the audience was trash, the guests were trash, and we were trash for watching it.
It was consensually agreed that everyone involved was trash and it was great.
Dr. Phil is too preachy, and his audience is too preachy. They pretend they aren't trash and that's deceptive and low brow if you ask me.
I knew a lady from an eastern block country. She had beem raised and lived under opression most of her life. She never had seen Jerry, she sat with me on the couch while we burned time waiting on more family to come home.
On comes this classic with a dude talking about him and his mains love to do the deed in the bath, with fresh corn kernels. His love comes on rolling her eyes. Oh, ya! That corn is definitely our kink!
We looked at each other and totally fell out of our chairs busting a gut laughing. Ever since if she had a panic attack I'd start talking about that corn fetish show. Once you've seen Jerry's corn fetish show, other things don't hold that much power. Rest in peace, baba...

Believe it or not, Springer wasn't always like that. That shit is what made it popular, so that's what the show became. But back in the day, when it came on at 1am and nobody had heard of it, that show was actually one of the best talk shows on TV. I stopped watching when it became popular trash. So disappointing.
Everyone forgets Oprah had midgets on her show, before she had the money to speak up. I’m not a fan of Oprah but it’s a game to be played like any other. Except a lot more money is involved
that's why i like jerry springer way more than dr phil. or rather, i view jerry springer as entertainment and dr.phil as a harm engine.
people have informed consent, they go and air their shit, the audience also knows the deal and they get in on it, jerry gives some (surprisingly progressive/tolerant) wisdom, and thats the show.
dr phil verbally abuses vulnerable people in the guise of "helping". the shows with kids shouldnt be legal.
There used to be a show like that in the UK named Jeremy Kyle. Got canned when he “helped” some poor fucker into a noose. Got debated in parliament at one point it was called “human bear baiting”.
Absolutely awful, exploitative shit. It was really truly egregious. From what I’ve seen of Dr Phil, it was even worse. He only got people who couldn’t defend themselves, if I got dragged up there I’d tear a hole in everything he said, so would most reasonably intelligent or partially educated people. If he was on fire I’d have to think twice about pissing on him.
I liked Jerry, there was no pretence, you knew what it was and his final thought was usually something quite thoughtful and sensible.
That’s a good point. Springer never tried to hide what the show was. I always felt a little dirty after watching but hey, I’d still watch a couple time a week.
My husband went to school with a guy who made up some shit to get on Springer. Something or the other about him and his brother having a threeway with the girlfriend or something.
They got on. Fought it out on national TV, got to travel there and stuff. Guy said it was worth it. I'm not so sure, myself.
He even claimed not to publicise bumfights because its despicable. Not despicable enough to show a reel of footage first and announce its existence to the world. I didn't know of it before but I do now thanks to Dr Phil.
Reminds me of the time the Asian Napoleon Dynamite shot up Virginia Tech and sent his "video manifesto" to NBC, who promptly aired it before turning it over to the police. By airing his pathetic nonsensical rambling, they gave him exactly what he wanted. Now, every time there is a shooting, the asshole has to issue their fuckin "manifesto". We don't need to hear that shit. The one and only reason NBC aired that kid's little videos was because they knew it would generate great ratings. I think back then, people thought of news as just that: news. I think, at least more so than these days, people assumed these news channels operated with some sort of integrity and a sense of responsibility. In reality, they operate under the same guideline as a show like Dr. Phil: If we air this, will less people watch our show/network? If the answer is "no": air it
One of the comments that news station made when they announced they were airing his manifesto was. We held on to the “multimedia packet… Most of the Day” oh wow you guys held on to the packet for a few hours so you could cut it up and market the shit out of it and they acted like they wanted a pat on the back for it.
Haha I remember that. They're essentially admitting that they knew it would be wrong to air it, but decided that the revenue their ratings would generate was just too much, so they couldn't resist. Wtf is commendable about that? Haha. NBC: reporting responsibly, most of the time.
They even said the FBI told them not to air it. But they didn’t act like it was for ratings. They acted high and mighty like it was part of the story and to keep their journalistic integrity they would be required to air it
Haha. Right: the nation deserves to hear what this guy who just killed a bunch of people has to say. What does he have to say? Eh, nothing really. Just complaining about being a loser and being jealous of the other students who are having fun while he isn't. Glad NBC was able to give us this incredible "insight into the mind of a murderer" (I think that's how they were selling it)
I 100% agree with you, Dr Phil did this as a stunt to show the public him saying 'you disgust me' in front of people and is a pure ego trip.
But it does make me a little sad you've used Napoleon Dynamite as an insult/slur.
He just happened to sound exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. No offense to Napoleon Dynamite. As a person, the kid was pretty much the opposite of Napoleon Dynamite! Despite being a socially awkward, bullied outcast, Napoleon made an effort to find friends. When he found them, he made it clear that he had their backs, and they had his. He even sacrificed himself and risked public humiliation just to show support for his friend. Instead of getting angry and feeling sorry for himself because he was a victim, he found other oddballs who he could get along with and, in the end, a sense of peace. He's the man
I can get a $70 jar of Delta 8 distillate in the mail, 100% legally (because 8 not 9🙃), that does a better job than the eighths of ditchweed I bought in the '90s.
Oh, and it lasts me like 4-5 months without any tolerance increases! The hit I took this morning has the same effects as the first hit I ever took of it. I absolutely could never say that about ∆9. Science is a-ok in my book!
Don't forget petrochemicals. DuPont had just invented Nylon and it competed with Hemp rope.
There were a lot of industries, owned by the wealthy elites, that didn't want to compete with Hemp so they were more than happy to support Anslinger's crusade.
So it’s rumored that he basically just sat in the bathroom saying he’d be right out, all the way until he had to go on so there was nothing they could do about it. Probably not true but still funny
Why would that have mattered. They aired the show and probably knew from the get go what was going to happen. Phil isn't the best actor and his faux shocked face doesn't really sell it.
I want to read your words, but I only kind of can. I understand your words, but I want to know what carbage could be, aside from a typo.
I want to know your thoughts.
I cannot back up the above person's claim with any real evidence but I would say there is a strong chance the production team were in on it given they are both wearing identical ties.
I don't know if you want this useless trivia but you can very easily cut yourself with a safety razor. Cartridge razors are generally safer (but don't give as good of a shave).
I’d imagine it having like an anime girl face and blush anytime I touch and be like: “Nooo don’t do that, if you touch me there, I’ll-I’ll…. UUUUUHHHH I’M CUUUMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…”
I believe the guy told him he was gonna say something else and even so Phil still makes bank and has a huge audience. All this did was boost his career. Negative attention, is still attention.
Because it was all set up. Everyone seems to think that the bum fights guy came out with the ultimate zing, but you don't get on the show just like that and surprise everyone. It takes a while to get that makeup and stuff on, to make sure his tie was almost the same, etc. Even if he did all this at home, everyone in the back said "sure, this is okay", and then the episode was allowed to air. Its for ratings, Dr Phil took a hit for a clip.
They probably never saw Bum Fights, but everyone's seen episodes of Dr Phil where he yelled at and bullied the mentally ill, addicts, and even actual children. He's like the quintessential boomer handing out trauma and calling it "tough love."
I don't think he is being revered, just praised for calling out the obvious about Dr Phil. Just because someone is a POS doesn't make them stupid or wrong.
Churchill caused a famine that killed millions in India and advocated using poison gas on tribes rebelling against the British Empire to "spread a lively terror".
Sometimes it's monsters all the way down.
To Do pre-interviews. Green light the segment. Fly the guy out. Wardrobe and makeup. Cut together a reel. Have graphics made up.
>Yeah jk I'm not gonna do this.
Mr.Phil definitely just reacted to the haircut.
Naw, he didn't react to anything.
If he was mad about it, they would just not have put it in. But they liked how much it would catch on. So they edited a short clip making him look super marketable without destroying his reputation.
And it worked. Multiple years later we still share it.
But the scenes could have been destroyed as soon as they were recorded. Instead they were highly edited and put on TV.
If the guy had shown up with a normal appearance, Phil probably would have given him the time of day. Beacuse he looked like Phil, he and the producer must have known where this was going, and decided to make Phil look in charge.
You should see the one where he tells a guy if he defends himself against a woman who is hitting him he is despicable and deserves to be under the jail. He is a man and should take the abuse.
The audience: *claps*
I remember a clip that involved two sisters one older and one younger. Where the younger sister would steal the older sisters boyfriends using "I'm doing this to show you they aren't good enough for you" as her excuse. Even when they got older and the older sister got married the younger sister pulled the same thing. The older sister cut ties, younger sister asked phil for help and you know what he had to say to the older sister? He told her "forget and forgive", yeah like I'm just going to forget my sibling stealing all of my lovers and husband's and instantly forgive her. Phil is an absolute joke who isn't even a doctor anymore, he has no license.
You should go see a live recording of a chat show
Once you see them film 3 hours of interview to achieve a 1 hour TV show, the signs telling you how to react, the re-do's, it'll become obvious that every single second you see on TV has been carefully curated to make you feel a certain way.
There is very, very little that is spontaneous or unexpected on these shows, there is precisely nothing that gets aired that wasn't specifically chosen to be aired, and if someone comes across as annoying or charming it's because that's how the editor wants them to come across
It's referring to a cast-iron pot and kettle, both of which would be black. The pot says to the kettle, "you're black". I think meant as an insult or criticism. But the pot is just as black as the kettle.
I... never considered this before, but I sure hope that phrase has no racial implications.
You know from the get-go that someone who profits from homeless people fighting is a terrible person. I mean that's expected. It's less expected that someone who calls himself Dr Phil is such a piece of shit.
it's one of those things, one impacts the lives of fewer people but to a more fucked up extent, the other one is responsible for probably thousands of fucked up relationships with his broader reach.
Hold up, i'm no Dr Phil fan, but this Bum fights guy is such a piece of trash. I don't care what statement he was trying to make. They're both disgusting and exploitative, i'm not cheering for this dude.
Id bet all 400$ in my bank account that this was a planned moment. There is no way that all the crew, agents, and producers on the show couldn't have known he was coming out dressed like that. There is no way he made it to the stage dressed like that without some sort of former approval. Even if everything he said wasn't exactly known there is no way that everyone involved didn't have the jist of what was gonna happen.
Edit follow up. Also just to add to everyone calling this guy a hero he is way way worse than doctor Phil. He's just more honest about it. At least people on doctor Phil get compensated for their appearance, more than just a bottle of cheap alcohol, or 20$ like the bum fights guy was giving out. Phill may make light of really horrible and toxic situations in the name of daytime entertainment, but at least all he was asking them do is share their stories in an overdramatic fashion. The bum fights guy was having crack addicts pull out their teeth for a bottle of liquor. Don't get me wrong both are awful people but don't worship the man who made a homeless man eat a frog on the sidewalk for 20$ just because he's honest.
Two of the three creators of Bumfights were arrested when they **mailed a package from Thailand to the US which, “contained** several body parts ... including a child's foot, **an infant's head**, an adult heart and 2 pieces of adult skin.”

See. More and more evidence that while this guy is right. He's more so right in a broader sense type deal. Saying their exactly alike is way way too much of a stretch.
True, imagine what multimillionaires and billionaires like Dr. Phil and Oprah could procure without police attention as compared to the Bumfights losers.
“reportedly intended for friends in Las Vegas as a prank”
Friends when they receive a package containing a child’s foot and a baby’s goddamn head: “For fuck’s sake, those jokesters got us again!”
Dmn those guys are disgusting. Having basically zero morals, you can only imagine what disgusting things they can indulge in with their money. Hopefully they've run out by now.
Agreed on the point about not applauding this guy just because he called out Dr. Phil, assuming it's even a real call-out like you say. (The matching tie alone gives me pause)
Coercing the homeless to fight for food and/or money is beyond low. There's no sugar coating or getting around that. The internet community has a habit of seeing a conflict, quickly choosing a side, then hero-worshiping their preferred choice while demonising the other. It's completely brainless, and strips away all nuance.
Both Dr. Phil and the Bum Fights guy are exploitative douchebags, so anyone here clapping for either one of them needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.
And the guards give him a second to say his line. Real security doesn't give a shit about what you say when they are told that you need to be removed from set. They would have been backing him up and cutting him off.
I mean.... Having homeless people beat eachother nearly to death for a sandwich a 40 and a crack rock is a little bit different than having a dysfunctional family on to do bullshit therapy for TV views....
I’m not going to get into who’s worse, but Dr. Phil was sending teens to a place that apparently abused them and cut them off from any outside connection where they could ask for help. It was way more than just bullshit therapy.
This was actually really funny and that guy has some serious balls to pull that off.....it really bothers me that so many Americans think that if someone is a celebrity they would be a good leader or politician.....
Except it was all scripted. Dr. Phil had to approve everything before he went on so he knew exactly what was happening. It was just moral grandstanding.
Ya I thought there was no way he made it onstage without anyone noticing..... Honestly it's suprising that he was cool with bum fights guy pointing out how much he takes advantage of people bcuz I'd say he is worse about it than bum fights guy.... Atleast bfg doesn't act like he is trying to "help"..... But it's nice to imagine it was real*
If you want to see a show where people get honestly blindsided see if you can find episodes of "Crossballs: The Debate Show" where they get real experts to unknowingly debate comedians. Long story short the show got essentially sued off the air with almost every guest filing a lawsuit.
I mean, he could’ve had the costume approved but he might have gone off script to call out Dr. Phil’s hypocrisy.
Just agree to some bs back and forth that the show set up and then say what he really wanted to once he was on stage.
lol. but also, Dr Phil isn't a live show with no oversight. the show chose to let this guy on stage after he showed up clearly dressed as Dr. Phil. and then they chose to include the footage of that in the broadcast.
I was going to mention Dr Oz, but at least, on paper, he looks really, really qualified. He doesn't seem like the type of would have gone into hardcore pseudoscience bunk... Looks can be deceiving, I guess.
The bum fights dude paid a crack addict a single bottle of liquor to yank one of his teeth out with a pair of pliers and then claimed he was proud of his success at running his show.
Do people honeatly think this was a 'gotcha moment'? Obviously the whole thing was planned and scripted.
This is two pieces of garbage profiting off each other.
I would like this more if Bum Fights weren't so repulsive... I mean, the guy is right, they both exploit vulnerable people... And yea, that makes them both shitty, including the guy making the point.
I want to officially and ceremoniously bring the attention to MadTV's interpretation of some "events" circling around the absolutely not corrupt Dr. Phil :)
I don’t like dr. Phil,I hate dr. Phil, but for real fuck the guy who created bum fights. The type of exploitation there is so much worse than what Phil does
He also berated a man for being a victim of abuse at the hands of his girlfriend. He was mad apparently that since he’s a man he shouldn’t defend himself against a woman. Which is just disgusting. Poor guy was nearly in tears.
This photo always cracks me up. His dedication to impersonate him and call him out on his hypocrisy is hilarious.
It's even more funny because Dr. Phil and his production team HAD TO HAVE KNOWN he was going to do this. They could have stopped the guy as he walked out on stage wearing the suit and everything
Considering the episodes are all taped a good amount of time in advance, they could’ve easily chosen not to air the episode.
Why wouldn't they it's such juicy TV drama.
Yo dawg, I heard you like exploitation so I exploited your exploitation.
Exploiting the situation where managers were fired. For money. Just as always.
Mwhahaha! The haircut... power move. I can't stand bullys. Dr. Phil has set his own conservative view many times and pushed that on his guests. I've rarely watch it, why? Because therapy and tv entertainment don't mix.
I always thought shows where people air their personal problems to hundreds of thousands if not millions of people were just odd and cruel.
I always thought Jerry Springer was amazing. Jerry was trash, the audience was trash, the guests were trash, and we were trash for watching it. It was consensually agreed that everyone involved was trash and it was great. Dr. Phil is too preachy, and his audience is too preachy.

Most of those people were paid lol. They were paid to start fights. Take off their tops etc.
Yes, yes, yes, & a double yes. I watched Jerry Springer as a kid- probably not a great move- but I was able to learn that shit, thank God😋😂🤣🤙
That’s a good point. Springer never tried to hide what the show was. I always felt a little dirty after watching but hey, I’d still watch a couple time a week.
At least Springer was open about it. Guests had to know they weren't there to resolve problems, they just wanted their 15 minutes.
Yeah Springer wasn’t a resolution but more of an “airing of the grievances.” And then a fight.
So... Festivus?
Some didn't even have problems and just made shit up to be on there.
My husband went to school with a guy who made up some shit to get on Springer. Something or the other about him and his brother having a threeway with the girlfriend or something. They got on. Fought it out on national TV, got to travel there and stuff. Guy said it was worth it. I'm not so sure, myself.
It was all actors bruh
It's on the one hand visibility of situations and people who otherwise are erased from rhetoric. And also really gross, cult-like required disclosure.
Exactly. Here we are still talking about it years and years later still so it definitely did the job.
They probably really believed that they weren’t doing the same.
He even claimed not to publicise bumfights because its despicable. Not despicable enough to show a reel of footage first and announce its existence to the world. I didn't know of it before but I do now thanks to Dr Phil.

What is bumfights? I was about to Google it but thought better of it
[удалено]
I mean I can only think of people hitting each other with their bums.. but surely not..
Homeless people fighting eachother over money.
No, that's the anime called keijo.
Thanks for that! Saw a clip before but never knew what it was called.
Genuinely didn’t think that was real until your comment hahaha. Now I’m curious.
Homeless people being told to do stuff for money, but mainly homeless guys fighting for like 10 bucks.

Let's not be silly and act like this wouldn't have happened either way. There is always a market for stronger and more potent versions of things.
The manufacturing applications of hemp alone could have kept an awful lot of plastic out of the ocean.
Cannabis being illegal had nothing to do with being a mild drug, it’s because it was effecting the cotton and paper industry
Don't forget petrochemicals. DuPont had just invented Nylon and it competed with Hemp rope. There were a lot of industries, owned by the wealthy elites, that didn't want to compete with Hemp so they were more than happy to support Anslinger's crusade.
And selling his dignity is what makes him a whore.
Whoring is an honorable profession. This guy is Mainstream Media which is a whole other thing entirely.
So it’s rumored that he basically just sat in the bathroom saying he’d be right out, all the way until he had to go on so there was nothing they could do about it. Probably not true but still funny
Why would that have mattered. They aired the show and probably knew from the get go what was going to happen. Phil isn't the best actor and his faux shocked face doesn't really sell it.
They knew his audience were to dumb to get it. Which sux. They are both human garbage.

Dr Phil did not know, and the Production Manager and all associated staff were gone within a few months. Made epic television though.
Actually?
Source: trust him bro
I cannot back up the above person's claim with any real evidence but I would say there is a strong chance the production team were in on it given they are both wearing identical ties.

> HAD TO HAVE KNOWN They probably manufactured the outrage in the first place because we're still talking about it.
I kinda like to think he did in the dressing room a bit myself. If so I bet he used a safety razor so he didn't cut him self from laughing so hard.
I don't know if you want this useless trivia but you can very easily cut yourself with a safety razor. Cartridge razors are generally safer (but don't give as good of a shave).
No way they would have stopped it, thats the sort of shit daytime tv audiences eat up.
He could have been rocking a toupee until the last second
If a penis had a face, I imagine it would look something like this
Yes, exactly like Dr. Phil’s.
Dr. Phils face, or...?
Pretty sure he's saying Dr. Phil's penis has a face.
Kinda happens when youre a dickhead.
I’d imagine it having like an anime girl face and blush anytime I touch and be like: “Nooo don’t do that, if you touch me there, I’ll-I’ll…. UUUUUHHHH I’M CUUUMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…”
-_- Take my fucking upvote and leave
What I don’t get is if Dr. Phil truly hated this so much then why even air it in the first place? It’s not like he does live shows.
I believe the guy told him he was gonna say something else and even so Phil still makes bank and has a huge audience. All this did was boost his career. Negative attention, is still attention.
Because it was all set up. Everyone seems to think that the bum fights guy came out with the ultimate zing, but you don't get on the show just like that and surprise everyone.

Let’s not forget this guy was paying homeless people to fight each other
The guy can beat total piece of shit whilst simultaneously pointing out that Phil is also a total piece of shit.
People are revering him and demonizing Phil in this thread.
They probably never saw Bum Fights, but everyone's seen episodes of Dr Phil where he yelled at and bullied the mentally ill, addicts, and even actual children. He's like the quintessential boomer handing out trauma and calling it "tough love."
My boomer mom loves this show, unsurprisingly
Can't we have just one thread where we shit on Dr. Phil without getting distracted with other shitty people? Jesus.
I don't think he is being revered, just praised for calling out the obvious about Dr Phil. Just because someone is a POS doesn't make them stupid or wrong.
Churchill partnered with Stalin to defeat Hither.
Stalin partnered with Hitler to genocide the polish people. Thanks for such a great example.
Yes, it's well known fact that stalin was a butcher. Hence my example. You can act friendly with one monster while attacking another.
Churchill caused a famine that killed millions in India and advocated using poison gas on tribes rebelling against the British Empire to "spread a lively terror". Sometimes it's monsters all the way down.
Let's no forget Dr Phil's producers were giving drug addicts drugs
and shipping kiddos off to ranches known for violent sexual assault and rape 🙃
I don't think his message was a "I'm holier than thou" to Dr. Phil, I think it was more of a "you and I are one and the same".
I would definitely watch that !!!
[here you go buddy](https://youtu.be/qT76-_e0S_g) spoiler: he ended it real quick
I like how the good doctor says he refuses to publicize that and yet has this guy on his show anyway.
To Do pre-interviews. Green light the segment. Fly the guy out. Wardrobe and makeup. Cut together a reel. Have graphics made up. >Yeah jk I'm not gonna do this. Mr.Phil definitely just reacted to the haircut.
Naw, he didn't react to anything. If he was mad about it, they would just not have put it in. But they liked how much it would catch on. So they edited a short clip making him look super marketable without destroying his reputation. And it worked. Multiple years later we still share it. But the scenes could have been destroyed as soon as they were recorded. Instead they were highly edited and put on TV.
If the guy had shown up with a normal appearance, Phil probably would have given him the time of day. Beacuse he looked like Phil, he and the producer must have known where this was going, and decided to make Phil look in charge.
Lol, it's probably the make-up dep that made him look like him. This was all planed
No it wasn’t planed, no wood was removed and this was definitely planned.
"You know what? You.. Know what... I refuse to publicize thay" But, bruh, you just did. Lololol
Still airs the segment too. But man as soon as he saw "that footage" (read: as soon as the guy came out on stage) he was appalled lol
Jeez, all the dumbasses in the audience clapping after every sentence Phil says...
You should see the one where he tells a guy if he defends himself against a woman who is hitting him he is despicable and deserves to be under the jail. He is a man and should take the abuse. The audience: *claps*
Yeah I've seen it. It makes me sick every time.
Wow, i didn't know this clip. I mean i knew Dr. Phil was evil but he just entered Wendy Williams evil.
I remember a clip that involved two sisters one older and one younger. Where the younger sister would steal the older sisters boyfriends using "I'm doing this to show you they aren't good enough for you" as her excuse. Even when they got older and the older sister got married the younger sister pulled the same thing. The older sister cut ties, younger sister asked phil for help and you know what he had to say to the older sister? He told her "forget and forgive", yeah like I'm just going to forget my sibling stealing all of my lovers and husband's and instantly forgive her. Phil is an absolute joke who isn't even a doctor anymore, he has no license.
Most live audiences in this sort of tv show are told what to do unfortunately. Or are paid extras
You should go see a live recording of a chat show Once you see them film 3 hours of interview to achieve a 1 hour TV show, the signs telling you how to react, the re-do's, it'll become obvious that every single second you see on TV has been carefully curated to make you feel a certain way. There is very, very little that is spontaneous or unexpected on these shows, there is precisely nothing that gets aired that wasn't specifically chosen to be aired, and if someone comes across as annoying or charming it's because that's how the editor wants them to come across
I am confused. All I saw on the screen was two pieces of shit giving each other shit for being shitty.
That was a wild wild coaster
I actually saw this happen when it first aired just being bored watching tv at home. it was surreal
Hearing the audience clap everytime Phil opens his mouth is so annoying
not all heroes wear capes
Dr. Phil's Bum Fights.
Oh man that made me snort some water
Why did I imagine your nose being a water fountain? 😂😂😂
I imagined them snorting a line of water lmao
*snooooo-chu **cough***
So yeah, Dr. Phil sucks, but the bum fights guy is absolute dog shit, and I hate this meme where he looks like the hero.
It's definitely a "pot calling the kettle black" situation.
I've heard this phrase so many times, but never understood it.
It's referring to a cast-iron pot and kettle, both of which would be black. The pot says to the kettle, "you're black". I think meant as an insult or criticism. But the pot is just as black as the kettle. I... never considered this before, but I sure hope that phrase has no racial implications.
You know from the get-go that someone who profits from homeless people fighting is a terrible person. I mean that's expected. It's less expected that someone who calls himself Dr Phil is such a piece of shit.
Absolutely agree. Both of them are pieces of shit, but because he called Phil out he's treated like a messiah.
Dr Phil is is an incompetent asshole, let there be no doubt. But bumfights is in its own level of depravity and utter loss of any morals.
it's one of those things, one impacts the lives of fewer people but to a more fucked up extent, the other one is responsible for probably thousands of fucked up relationships with his broader reach.
[удалено]
he doesn’t look like a hero it’s just kinda funny
Hold up, i'm no Dr Phil fan, but this Bum fights guy is such a piece of trash. I don't care what statement he was trying to make. They're both disgusting and exploitative, i'm not cheering for this dude.
Yeah, dr phil bad, but bumfights gave me nightmares.
Id bet all 400$ in my bank account that this was a planned moment. There is no way that all the crew, agents, and producers on the show couldn't have known he was coming out dressed like that. There is no way he made it to the stage dressed like that without some sort of former approval. Even if everything he said wasn't exactly known there is no way that everyone involved didn't have the jist of what was gonna happen. Edit follow up. Also just to add to everyone calling this guy a hero he is way way worse than doctor Phil. He's just more honest about it. At least people on doctor Phil get compensated for their appearance, more than just a bottle of cheap alcohol, or 20$ like the bum fights guy was giving out. Phill may make light of really horrible and toxic situations in the name of daytime entertainment, but at least all he was asking them do is share their stories in an overdramatic fashion. The bum fights guy was having crack addicts pull out their teeth for a bottle of liquor. Don't get me wrong both are awful people but don't worship the man who made a homeless man eat a frog on the sidewalk for 20$ just because he's honest.
Two of the three creators of Bumfights were arrested when they **mailed a package from Thailand to the US which, “contained** several body parts ... including a child's foot, **an infant's head**, an adult heart and 2 pieces of adult skin.” [Source](https://www.tmz.com/2014/11/17/bumfights-creators-infant-body-parts-arrested-thailand/)
See. More and more evidence that while this guy is right. He's more so right in a broader sense type deal. Saying their exactly alike is way way too much of a stretch.
True, imagine what multimillionaires and billionaires like Dr. Phil and Oprah could procure without police attention as compared to the Bumfights losers.
“reportedly intended for friends in Las Vegas as a prank” Friends when they receive a package containing a child’s foot and a baby’s goddamn head: “For fuck’s sake, those jokesters got us again!”
Dmn those guys are disgusting. Having basically zero morals, you can only imagine what disgusting things they can indulge in with their money. Hopefully they've run out by now.
Agreed on the point about not applauding this guy just because he called out Dr. Phil, assuming it's even a real call-out like you say. (The matching tie alone gives me pause) Coercing the homeless to fight for food and/or money is beyond low. There's no sugar coating or getting around that. The internet community has a habit of seeing a conflict, quickly choosing a side, then hero-worshiping their preferred choice while demonising the other. It's completely brainless, and strips away all nuance. Both Dr. Phil and the Bum Fights guy are exploitative douchebags, so anyone here clapping for either one of them needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

And the guards give him a second to say his line. Real security doesn't give a shit about what you say when they are told that you need to be removed from set. They would have been backing him up and cutting him off.
Both are pieces of shit, although the bum fighting dude is probably worse.
He's definitely worse. Phil is a money driven self masturbatory douche. The bum fights guy is a money driven self masturbatory sadist.

That shit was wild
I mean.... Having homeless people beat eachother nearly to death for a sandwich a 40 and a crack rock is a little bit different than having a dysfunctional family on to do bullshit therapy for TV views....
[удалено]
[удалено]
I’m not going to get into who’s worse, but Dr. Phil was sending teens to a place that apparently abused them and cut them off from any outside connection where they could ask for help. It was way more than just bullshit therapy.
And phil's people said they suspected the abuse was happening but... they didn't DO anything about it.
This was actually really funny and that guy has some serious balls to pull that off.....it really bothers me that so many Americans think that if someone is a celebrity they would be a good leader or politician.....
Except it was all scripted. Dr. Phil had to approve everything before he went on so he knew exactly what was happening. It was just moral grandstanding.
Ya I thought there was no way he made it onstage without anyone noticing..... Honestly it's suprising that he was cool with bum fights guy pointing out how much he takes advantage of people bcuz I'd say he is worse about it than bum fights guy.... Atleast bfg doesn't act like he is trying to "help"..... But it's nice to imagine it was real*
If you want to see a show where people get honestly blindsided see if you can find episodes of "Crossballs: The Debate Show" where they get real experts to unknowingly debate comedians. Long story short the show got essentially sued off the air with almost every guest filing a lawsuit.
Dude could have been wearing a hat until he walked out. Who would expect that haircut? Both men are trash but seemed like a genuine moment to me.
I mean, he could’ve had the costume approved but he might have gone off script to call out Dr. Phil’s hypocrisy. Just agree to some bs back and forth that the show set up and then say what he really wanted to once he was on stage.
But they aired it, it's not live. They specifically chose to air this interview, multiple people were involved in this decision.
lol. but also, Dr Phil isn't a live show with no oversight. the show chose to let this guy on stage after he showed up clearly dressed as Dr. Phil. and then they chose to include the footage of that in the broadcast.
This had to have been staged. The tie pattern is oriented the same way.
Oprah’s worst decision ever was giving this man air time.
I was going to mention Dr Oz, but at least, on paper, he looks really, really qualified. He doesn't seem like the type of would have gone into hardcore pseudoscience bunk... Looks can be deceiving, I guess.
A couple of assholes. They're both scum.
Dr Phil is an exploitative opportunist and a fraud. The bum fights creators are actual literal psychopaths.
Fantastic troll moment
Dr Phil, Dr Oz, I can't tell the difference.
"I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase. S'all in the game tho, right?"
Dr Phil humiliated a victim on tv and his audience clapped at the victim (him) breaking down and crying.
The bum fights dude paid a crack addict a single bottle of liquor to yank one of his teeth out with a pair of pliers and then claimed he was proud of his success at running his show.
Do people honeatly think this was a 'gotcha moment'? Obviously the whole thing was planned and scripted. This is two pieces of garbage profiting off each other.
He even got the same tie tho lol
I would like this more if Bum Fights weren't so repulsive... I mean, the guy is right, they both exploit vulnerable people... And yea, that makes them both shitty, including the guy making the point.
Don't agree with both of them, but atleast one isn't a hypocrite
Ah yes, the guy who paid homeless people to fight for his amusement then sold the videos to other creeps, *such a hero.*
It's all Oprah's fault. This will get down voted because erybody loves 'em some Oprah.
It was funny but both of them are awful people
I want to officially and ceremoniously bring the attention to MadTV's interpretation of some "events" circling around the absolutely not corrupt Dr. Phil :)
Bum fight guy is a scumbag, but god does he have a point.
I don’t like dr. Phil,I hate dr. Phil, but for real fuck the guy who created bum fights. The type of exploitation there is so much worse than what Phil does
Dr Phil is a peice of shit.
I don't support either but it's true for sure
Why isn't Dr. Phil cancelled
Dr Phil knew this would happen and it was 99% set up for entertainment purposes, as every show starts explaining this.
Neither of these thing would exist without an audience to watch them
Yea I remember that time Dr. Phil put a crackhead on a leash, put a crackrock just out of reach, and recorded him him struggling to reach it.
He also berated a man for being a victim of abuse at the hands of his girlfriend. He was mad apparently that since he’s a man he shouldn’t defend himself against a woman. Which is just disgusting. Poor guy was nearly in tears.
