Im not talking about Fear Factor type of show. I mean like a talk show getting a bunch of people with their fears known and then exposing them to it. Trying to find someone who would do "bring out the olives" to someone in 2023.

Unless I am out of the loop and those fear episodes are now considered problematic. So no one does that to people in the talk show format.

As shown in the bubble there was also a person afraid of spiders in that same episode. But that clip doesn't seem as easy to find as the more lesser known fears. I am guessing due to not being as funny to make fun of arachnophobia.

I guess I kinda forgot how much Maury condition me to think horrible stuff. Like paternity tests and finding out a childs father being thing to laugh at if the guy is not the father and dances.

Back in the day, he would have promiscuous teen girls In skimpy clothes, bragging about how they would sleep around, do drugs, and disrespect their parents, all under the guise of helping them turn their lives around. They would come out onstage yelling Shut up! Fuck you! You dont know me!, while the audience booed them. He even turned boot camp into a verb, boot camp my promiscuous teen! No way that would fly today.

I watched those but they always looked fake.

Even if that woman was afraid of cotton balls, why would Maury have someone chase her around the stage with a pile of them. That's like some Howard Stern show shit where everyone would bust out laughing.

I think it's sad how sleazy Maury is, considering his father was a very respected sports journalist for the Washington Post.

There was one that really stuck with me where some woman came on the show like 8 times with different guys and none of them was the father and none of them claimed to be the father. Until one of them did but she was adamant that he was not the father and they do the test and he is the father and she's all pissed off and Maury is like "what the fuck is wrong with you? You brought in a whole bunch of people who don't want to be fathers and reject the one guy who does want to be a father who is also the actual father?"

Dr. Phil had that too. Only it included a person who hated fat people + a fat person and a misogynist + a women as well.

And it went just as well as you would expect it to. First everyone, including Dr. Phil, bullied the crap out of the fat person until he broke down, then they moved onto the black woman. Then they declared the entire thing a success after she decided that maybe having a Nazi tattoo wasn't so bad and everyone got to go home.

The only good thing that ever happened on Phil's show is when the Bum Fights guy came on dressed like Phil and asked everyone what the difference between the two of them was.

And he was fucking right, which is not something I expected to say about the Bum Fights guy.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


A woman, due to a traumatic event as a child, is deathly afraid of cotton balls, to the point that the mere sight of them drives her to panic, running away screaming, and having a mental break down. She spends two hours with some dude, and when offered the chance to touch a cotton ball is like "Oh, these are kind of nice."

What's so hard to believe about that? <_<
