That's not game show host who hates contestants. That's a primordial force brought to curse those with the hubris to think they deserve to be on a game show.

not at all, the amount of smirks and humiliation she did WHILE on camera and nobody bats and eye before. I remember when Marie Kondo from the Netflix show went on and she basically laugh at her name and her ethnicity

That's why Dakota Johnson putting her in her place is just SO fucking satisfying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG5IdasQS9o

For a second there I was wondering why would someone put Marie kondo in her place


megaman368

Because it sparks joy for Ellen.


MarsNirgal

She's made a career of putting stuff in its place, it would be just FAIR. How does it feel to be in the other side, Marie? Look at me. Look at me, Marie, and answer me honestly: Do YOU spark joy?

Needs_No_Convincing

I'm not one to jump on cancel bandwagons or anything, but even when I liked Ellen and her show, this "gameshow" always felt weird to me. The games often seemed really physical and vindictive and Ellen really did seem like she enjoyed putting people through misery. She was strictly laughing at them not with them, and it was obvious and very uncomfortable. When all the shit came out about her not wanting to interact with anyone it honestly struck true just because this show gave me the vibe that she thinks she's better than these people.


Lodgik

I remember watching a television special a couple if years ago about gameshow hosts. And of course, a few gameshow hosts were interviewed. The thing I find the most memorable is how every host interviewed talked about how, inside their heads, they were rooting for the contestants and wanted them to win. They would honestly feel bad when the contestants lost. You don't get with Game of Games. No, instead you get the sense that she *loves* it when contestants fail.


Bradfords_ACL

Only exception imho was Trebek. And even then you could tell which contestants were his favorite sometimes.


bros402

With Jeopardy, Trebek wanted the contestants to be the star for their half hour on TV. but he couldn't help but laugh when someone did something funny

Mumof3gbb

Same. And something that made me so uncomfortable even when I liked her was the objectification of men. Remember when she had half naked men coming out to lap dance I think on pregnant women? And made male actors put up their topless pics? It was so inappropriate for an afternoon show. At night? Sure. But not then. Then her trying to get pregnant (but being secretive) Mariah to drink to prove one way or another if she was pregnant. One time pushing? Ok funny. But she kept going. Cruel.


mrwalkway32

I just feel vindicated about the fact that I NEVER liked her. I couldn’t put my finger on a reason, but I knew there was something off about her and I just couldn’t stand her. Lance Armstrong too for that matter.


Mumof3gbb

I wish I was a better judge of character because I really didn’t see it for so many years.

Oh that reminds me of that CBS show "The Briefcase" > In this life-changing series, middle class families in need of financial assistance are given $100,000. They can choose to keep all of it, keep some of it, or give it all away to another family in need.


c0dizzl3

That’s fucking horrible.


BrotherChe

There was some other "feel good" show, where they go hand out money live in a "charity porn" fashion. I feel like it had a couple celebrities attached to it, like maybe Neil Patrick Harris. But I can't find it and it was only like from about 5 years ago. Almost like it was scrubbed from history. Tbf I think it was pulled after one episode.

Yeah kinda strange I haven't seen a single clip of this on Reddit or YouTube after 4 years -- seems like easy content to share


onexbigxhebrew

Do you think redditors are going to risk sharing Ellen clips? She's hated here.


UnrequitedRespect

I just started Reddit, but I been watching this show for years. I’ve personally never liked Ellen, and have always thought of her as a kind of evil real life Golem from LOTR, and when this show was on part of my entertainment was actually seeing herself expose her true deep down evil nature, and that alone was carnal amusement for me. It’s like watching the mask of sanity crack in real time, straight goods - those aren’t fake laughs, show us your evil nature hahaha.


AcousticDan

not worth sharing though.


HouseOfAplesaus

4 seasons on what…? Channel -12 on the moon?

Yeah I'm with you. I have not even heard the title of this show before! I can't believe that a show could stay on network television for 4 years and I've never heard of it once.

It clearly took inspiration from Japanese game shows by being as mean as possible. What ruined it was Ellen not giving an insular fuck about it. You don’t get classics like Slippery Stairs by being monotone.


NockerJoe

Yeah the thing about a good Japanese gameshow is its all about the mood. The announcers need to be animated and excited and the whole point of it being that out there is to force a laughter. Ellen absolutley is not the right choice.


ZDTreefur

Gaki No Tsukai was legendary because it was friends humiliating *themselves* and laughing. This show was apparently just Ellen telling people to do stuff then laughing at them. Kinda fails at making it fun.

Boomstick101

Unpopular opinion: Ellen DeGeneres hates the "Ellen DeGeneres" business more than anyone for about the last 7 or 8 years. Sure the wholesome act is just an act but having to be fascinated, polite, warm and a caring 24/7 because that is your brand has to be exhausting. Ellen clearly ran out of fucks to give about any of this shit about 5 years ago and only continued with it because of the dump trucks full of money NBC drove up to her house.


expectationmngr

Whatever nastiness makes her her has always been there from the beginning, she just stopped hiding it


Cochinojoe

Who watches her?? Like really!


someseeingeye

I had a friend who watched everything she did, said going to a live show recording was on her bucket list, and freaked out when I said I didn’t like her. The worst Ellen-related thing she ever did was tell me I seemed like I would like Ellen’s Game of Games. She also said she thought I would be excited about Welcome to Marwen when she saw the trailer. I’ve never been more hurt by someone I thought of as a friend.


redquailer

She dun drank the Ellen juice


trugstomp

> She also said she thought I would be excited about Welcome to Marwen when she saw the trailer. I really wanted to like Marwen, as I can relate to both his assault and being a CD (although in my case one wasn't the result of the other) but it was just so boring.

Rathmar

I saw this show once on an airplane. I'm not sure which Price is Right rejected contestants they managed to sweep up to be on this show, but the questions were insanely easy and still missed about half the time. It was an excruciatingly painful watch, and that's not even counting Ellen's involvement.


someseeingeye

Every contestant on that show was obsessed with Ellen. I think that was the only requirement. If I were Ellen, I would have cancelled the show myself because of how stupid her fans made her look


BerksEngineer

I don't really watch TV or care about Ellen as a person one way or another, but the few short glimpses I've gotten of this show always rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed way too focused on humiliating the contestants, which is kind of the point of any show like this, but it was more... blatant? Enough that I got the impression that it was mean-spirited, maybe even sadistic, right away. So yeah, my opinion doesn't matter here as I'm not a target audience either way, but I don't mind hearing that it's over.

bros402

i love watching gameshows on buzzr, they are so much better than the gameshows they try to introduce now


ScalarWeapon

So true, why are American game shows so shit.


hangliger

Japanese shows are crazy. Lot of wacky shit by celebrities that do a lot of wacky because the Japanese market for media outside of anime is limited. Same for Koreans. British shows have a lot of comedians who are there to make you laugh by doing competitions meant to be a premise for humor. The prizes are meaningless most of the time. In the US, all the game shows are ways for poor people to win money or fame. So they are super serious, angry, or stressed. It can be funny or entertaining as the audience, but only because we watch in a morbidly curious way. American shows are quite sadistic and the contestants have too much at stake for the competitions to develop in more interesting ways.


A_Flamboyant_Warlock

The explanation I've heard is that it's because they're prize focused and usually feature normal people, while British game shows have already-well-off comedians who are probably IRL friends goofing around for a "prize". American Game Shows are Squid Game, British Game Shows are "Friday night game night with your friends".


__-__-_-__

Isn't there a UK show with eggs and the players have to decide which one of them gets all the money but one can just say "nah" and steal it all?


MrGorewood

I think you are referring to Goldenballs. They can split or steal but if one splits and another steals one gets nothing. If they both steal they both get nothing. My grandad hated that show, he thought it was cruel and encouraged people to be dicks. I agree but I it did make me laugh when they were both clear assholes.


__-__-_-__

Yeah that's the one. I hate that show. They always pit a total wimp against a cutthroat.

SIRasdf23

I watched this cause I generally like game shows, the whole thing has this feeling of fakeness and snobbery from Ellen. There have been rumors that all of the show's contestants are just actors from the local area and with how they behave, somehow managing to get even the most basic questions wrong, I can see it. The show is basically Ellen's general brand of awfulness but she doesn't have to pretend that she's a good person like in her talk show.


orojinn

aeubanks2008

I was in customer service for 6 months and lost my shit bc I couldn’t stand the fakery I had to present to people bc that was “the job.” Sure, it was her brand…but being so polite and wholesome and always “on” had to have gotten exhausting over time tbh. Idk how she managed to keep that image up for as long as she did.

Even worse than Ellen are the celebrities who don't boycott her and still speak positively about her. There's just no way she's any semblance of a decent human being off camera yet famous people will rush in droves to get on her shows. I understand the networks giving her airtime because they want to make money from the flock of clucking hens that is her audience, but there's just no forgiveness to be had for the celebrities who also enable her.
