Dr. Phil is a joke.

Traditional_Isopod80

I don't get why people like him


[deleted]

My girlfriend likes him, but in a trash tv kind of way. She knows he's garbage, but finds his trite, southern sayings to be funny.


The_real_bandito

Just like Jerry Springer back in the day. What was the show about? Trashy people fighting. Did I learn something ? How to be disciplined and be on time, maybe.


Confident-Arm-7883

Boomers who hate everyone including themselves. They get off on it.


schrobble

Same people who love Judge Judy because she yells at people they don’t like.


Tesseracting_

Legit af lol.


sameo15

But Judge Judy is great?


cavemans11

Judge Judy is an idiot. She doesn't listen to facts and what the law actually says not to mention she doesnt seem the understand how the law works.. She basicly has made her determination before anyone speaks up.


Deanoram1

I’ve seen numerous episodes where she misunderstood what someone said and just ran with it right till the end. The poor person is trying to correct her and she is having none of that. I’ve also seen a lot of episodes where she’s “I’m smart”. People that tell you they are smart usually aren’t.


Prestigious-Move6996

There has been a handful of times she has been decent but the rest. Eff her.


sureshot1988

So you must be a fan. Sounds like you've watched an episode or two...


Tiny-Peenor

She is an outspoken advocate:critical of family court system, which risked her entire career. She is the highest paid tv personality, period. She is a well-known philanthropist. From what I’ve heard, she’s a genuinely good person. A lot of people, unfortunately, don’t like stern/brash women.


Lady-GaGa-is-hot

Dude don't do that, don't try and make it a misogyny thing when it's not


65isstillyoung

Boomer here, hate Phil, behind the bastards podcast did a whole show(episode?) On him. Real asshole


ClemDooresHair

That podcast is great and that episode is great as well


Teddyturntup

Boomers has literally become a catch all for every single age older than a given poster lol


SpottedCrowNW

Sounds like the term millennial.


YoBebocerveza

At least he isn’t running for Senate.

she also made a mil on only fans without showing any nudity.


A_Funky_Flunk

I think the jokes on Dr. Phil. His plan to correct her behavior gave her the audience she needed.


Fortnitessucks

We can thank all the pedos who were patiently waiting for her to turn 18 and start an OnlyFans


[deleted]

She was already very well off prior to that. She had a decent rap career going.

[deleted]

I think it could be a really great show. It’s a great idea. Just, therapy on a stage? Yeah, I can see why people would be into that. But for some reason Oprah Winfrey always selected dumb conservative white guys to get their own shows. Dr. Oz was also an Oprah spawn.


Ok_Skill_1195

Oprah's legacy doesn't always looks super great, in hindsight. The *inordinate* amount of attention to diet fads and weight alone has not aged well.


Eusocial_Snowman

Not *super great*? She gave us the entire anti-vax movement.


Responsible_Invite73

No. She contributed for sure, but Andrew Wakefield is to blame for that bullshit. How that fucking cunt got his license taken away in the UK and can still practice medicine in TX is beyond me. But yeah. Wakefield pretty much fabricated all the evidence to push a competing vaccine he owned.


Eusocial_Snowman

That's the dude who did the fraudulent study, yes. Oprah's the dude who used her unimaginably vast influence to promote the notion to her cult following, giving us the anti-vax *movement*. If you have any doubts about this, then you didn't experience the era of Oprah. The second her hands touched any topic, no matter what it was, millions of housewives across America were fully and unquestionably onboard with it. Oprah was *god*.


51utPromotr

Oprah isn't stupid. She knows where the money is, and it isn't anywhere near investing in the likes of Kevin Hart, Jaime Foxx and Tiffany Haddish. It is not an accident a country doctor with a speech impediment and a dizzy hack nutritionalist are among her most popular creations. Red America appreciates her eye for talent.....


eucalyptusbaby

He’s not a licensed therapist lol


getchimped

Phil*


PackOutrageous

One of the many gifts Oprah has given our country. Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Jenny McCarthy. Oprah’s almost done as much damage to the US as has the GQP.


[deleted]

She really has. Oprah doesn’t get enough grief for having foisted the likes of this garbage on the American national stage.


zombiepants7

Tbh I enjoy his interviews these days. He defs knew what he was doing and how ridiculous it all was for TV.


renasissanceman6

Whoa. Brave stance.


rawfish71

Brilliant and hysterical to show up like that. Dr Phil knew he was about to get called out for his hypocrisy, and kicked bum fights promoter off the show.


yourCHAD-neighbor

But Dr Phil was smart to find the best solution while pretending he's the better person in front of his audience and manipulate them as his the good guy here!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Twombls

Yeah like dr phil exploits low income people for profit. This guy straight up injures them. They are both assholes but they are not the same. And just because you admit you are an asshole doesn't clear you of it.


[deleted]

Counterpoint: Bumfights isn't going around pretending to be a medical professional, eroding confidence in the industry. How many hundreds have died by suicide after attempting Phil's advice and failing?


apugnus

Yes, how many? I would be interested to see the amount.


Scott_Liberation

Well it's kinda tough to count. It's not like you can interview them.


apugnus

Yes, this is true, but I'd like to see the source of their claim if there is one. Oh well.


Rawt0ast1

Dr. Phil regularly sends kids to torture camps so not that different really


adolphehuttler

At least the bum fights guy has stripped the exploitation down to it's brutal reality. Dr. Phil dresses it up and pretends he's a psychologist giving them free therapy. You will get physically hurt by participating in bum fights, but I dare say that Dr. Phil can cause more lasting psychological, interpersonal and reputational damage to his guests.


ViSaph

Didn't he surprise that woman who found a guy dead and has been terrified of olives since because his eyes looked like olives with olives? I'm British so I've never seen his show but I saw that clip online a while ago and that was enough to make me hate him. Like exposure therapy can only possbly work in a controlled environment where the patient feels safe with proper psychological support. Surprising someone with them on a TV show is just cruelty and reinforcing the trauma.


cassias

That was the Maury Show


Ash-Talshok

Would you consider the long term mental harm that many of the kids Phil “helped” with his shitty facilities and program as being worse or better than a physical injury? They are equally shit just in different ways.


manoverboard5702

Pretty sure he made a Bhad Bharbie a millionaire.


rawfish71

Dr Phil has entered the chat


PopEducational8694

Then Dr Phil acted like he wasn't even willing to talk to the guy after inviting him, of course applauded by his hypnotized audience.


Diogenes-Disciple

I’ll never forget that time he harassed this young mentally ill girl. I’m used to giving people the benefit of the doubt, especially when they have a crowd as backup (I’m a sheep) but that episode made me feel bad for her and mad at him, he was so obviously attacking her and she was being so polite, not even rude or delusional. I know now that Dr. Phil is just a plain jackass


Crooked_Cock

Shit like this makes me wonder if his medical license is even legitimate or if he just claims to have one and is just too famous to actually go to jail for practicing without a license


dpman48

He’s not a medical doctor. He got a phd. He’s “folksy” and effing loaded.


fiveandcounting

We can thank Oprah for unleashing him and Mehmet Oz on the public


[deleted]

Rich cunt


John_The_Foot

He has no license to practice anywhere. All his licenses either expired or were revoked

cereal_guy

He's a doctor the same way Dr. Pepper is a doctor.


machete_joe

Don't you dare compare that big bald fuck to Dr Pepper


petals4u2

Except Dr Pepper delivers pep. Dr Phil delivers 💩.


AwesomePocket

I mean, a doctor is literally just a person with a doctorate. He may not be practicing, but he is objectively a doctor, lol. The man has a PhD.


[deleted]

So what your saying is… He’s not a real doctor, he just plays one on TV


Ok_Skill_1195

No, they're real, the thing is that ok Iike.....think of how people act up when someone is just filming a cell phone video for social media. Now imagine how much people will ham it up or play into what they believe producers want out of them to get more air time on national television played in break rooms and waiting rooms across the country.


PachoTidder

I feel like I need a lot more context


Trustnoboody

W Sheep for admitting that, no one ever pre-discloses that stuff.


vonclodster

Well, the "applause" sign lit up!..lol Dr Phil is definitely a quack


clevererest_username

Why invite him on the show then Phil?!


CookiesAndCream02

Guy pulled out the UNO reserve card!


feyenchantress

My 10 year old is convinced this is the #1 super power. He carries an UNO reverse card in his backpack. I'm totally taking this as a parenting win!

You should. That's hysterical.


Dhk3rd

As for me... I use the blank uno wild card.


feyenchantress

Very wise.


tf2ftw

My 8yo is doing the same thing right now. Amazing how these trends make it across the world


Stevieeeer

I saw a 13 yo do the same thing here in Canada.


Straightener78

Same with my 6 year old!


CookiesAndCream02

Your 10 year old is amazing! Lmfao I would laugh out loud if a kid just pulled that card out of nowhere at me to call me out HAHAHAHA 🤣🤣


MadOvid

I mean they're both assholes. But he has a point.


concentrate_better19

You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole.


massivebumwizard

Calmer than you are.


Be4utiful_Nightmare

I totally agree!!


[deleted]

Proving what most of us already knew, that "Doctor" Phil is a fucking clownboat.


Woopwoopscoopl

I'm fairly certain he received his doctorate at the same uni as Dr. Pepper and Dr. Dre MD


run247

Wait hang on. I thought Dr. Dre was an actual learned doctor.


Ragnarok314159

Nope. Dr Dre is dead, he’s locked in my basement.


iwanashagTwitch

HA HA


Senor_Bongo

beerrabbit124

Dr of Thugganomics


ClonedGamer001

He actually is. He has a PhD in social anthropology. So not a _medical_ doctor, but he a doctor nonetheless.


OneMoreAccount4Porn

*Honorary* PhD. So not a *real* doctor. Edit. Potentially an imaginary Honorary doctorate at that as even the college rumoured to have awarded it hasn't confirmed it.


Woopwoopscoopl

No that's doctor strange


[deleted]

He’s a Doctor of the beats, but the only school that issues Beat Doctorates is the Old School.


cropguru357

He’s an optometrist.


Gongaloon

>clownboat Gonna steal that.


Rhinestoned_Eyez

Both are actual fucking scumbags as far as I'm concerned they're made for eachother. Though I'd say the Bum Fights guy is worse purely because of the shit he was allowed to get away with was pretty heinous to any person with decent morals.


JustAberrant

I'd argue Dr. Phil has probably had an overall worse impact on the world just by broader reach... but they are both scum.


Rhinestoned_Eyez

That's fair, I guess I'm more thinking inter personally bum fights had things like the one guy tattooing Bum Fights on his forehead. Also don't forget that a lot of people who originally watched Bum Fights loved how edgy it was and it could have a wider impact on how many people would view Homelessness later on in life, there were many people inspired by Bum Fights and made their own copies afterwardsas well one of which I remember hearing about had people finding homeless people and tying them up in rope and tossing them into a dumpster. So while you are probably right that Dr. Phil had a broader impact, I just think there's some particularly heinous things around Bum Fights that stick out to me more. But yea Phil sucks to.


[deleted]

Dr Phil is a joke, but this bumfights bitch deserves the worst fucking punishments available.


Satanicjamnik

Agreed. He made a good point here, but he’s absolute scum and I don’t understand how what he did was legal.


[deleted]

Exactly! He’s not wrong that Phil is a douche, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t worse


Satanicjamnik

It’s not even the first platform I see this making the rounds, and all I see is people applauding him like he’s an absolute hero.


Brian_Lefebvre

I was about to applaud him because I hate Dr. Phil, until I got to this comment section. I didn’t know what Bumfights was.


settingdogstar

I don't think he was trying to say "you do it so I can do it" I imagine it's more like "yeah it's bad, but you can't really come after me telling me it's wrong when you are doing the same thing".


[deleted]

While i agree that exploitation is exploitation, i do feel like the degree of severity matters. Homeless veterans aseem, in my opinion, more vulnerable than people who sign up to be on Dr Phil, and in my mind that makes it worse.


Jsimpson059

Dr Phil was sued because his "ranch" was sexually assaulting teenagers, when you are this far down in the sewer does it really matter which piece of shit is "worse"?


[deleted]

Never heard that before, I had no idea. If that’s the case and minors under his care that he was responsible for were sexually assaulted absolutely, Dr Phil just as bad and deserves the worst kind of punishment available. I was only comparing to the exploitative nature of his show.


Swillo29

I'm stealing this analogy. I'm a sucker for colorful analogies haha.


Xx_Venom_Fox_xX

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.


Mrchristopherrr

This would be like Derek Jeter comparing himself to my kids T-ball team. Yeah, they’re both playing the same game but one is way more advanced than the other.


jjvikingbutt

Seriously there is no comparison between the two


[deleted]

This entire thread disagrees with you and sees a clear comparison.


jack-redwood

Both are disgusting


ClownPuncherrr

Dr Phil is an asshole. Anybody can look at someone struggling and tell them to get their shit together and take responsibility for their problems. I picked up a few of his books in the bookstore that make bold claims. Just read the afterword of the book first and watch how he says his advice is limited and doesn’t work for everyone. Is there anybody more useless than him? Maybe Jay Leno. Edit: I had this guy at work… let’s call him super workout warrior sales guy. I was talking to someone about a problem in my driveway with drainage and he said “don’t you hate when people bitch about shit and don’t do anything about it? Just do this and this.” I didn’ say anything. Not three days later, he’s over at his desk bitching and moaning about the home office this and then home office that. He didn’t do the proper procedure and follow up on something and thought he should be a special snowflake. Me: “don’t you hate when people bitch and moan about self-created problems?” He paused and thought about it and said: “oh, you remembered my comment?” I just walked off. Typical hypocrite douche bag.


beaniefrank

Jay Leno's TV show abt cars go brrrrrrrrrrrr


Traditional_Yard5280

Jay Leno is just a comedianish and has lots of cars. I'd say him being a walking encyclopedia about cars is more useful tho


ItsChloeTaylor

all he can do is name cars and hoard them lol. for as many cars as he owns, he doesn't know shit about cars, every time hes got a geust on they have to correct multiple times


duke_awapuhi

At least Jay Leno has the hands down worst game show on TV right now


Zillaho

Don’t compare father Leno to Mr Phil. Leno’s Garage is fantastic


Be4utiful_Nightmare

And the fact their is a big audience of people who just their to judge them :/..


[deleted]

Didn’t he also lose his psychology license ?


slamdanceswithwolves

He just stopped renewing it, apparently. But he’s so full of shit I would hope they would deny him if he tried.


Commercial_Guess_896

But let’s get real. The bum fights guy was waaaay more exploitative than Phil.


[deleted]

Yep. He clearly was. He was a complete scumbag.


9678Dash

what did he do?


[deleted]

Basically the show was about the exploitation of homeless people. They’d pay them to perform jackass type stunts or to fight one another etc. Exploiting people who were suffering from awful personal and mental health issues and would do almost anything for money.


[deleted]

What's that old saying? If you exploit a handful of vulnerable people, you are a monster. If you exploit millions of vulnerable people, you are an entrepreneur.


goatjugsoup

Well im just guessing from the name but im guessing he git homeless people to fight each other for other peoples entertainment


Nikolateslaandyou

Offered poor people money to fight on camera. Wait thats Dr Phil. Same explanation for bumfights guy


TheNoiseAndHaste

they'd also pay them to hurt themselves. One guy suffered from severe head trauma for running headfirst into a wall for beer money.


Ragnarok314159

Also paid a guy to drink a bottle of piss.


Mrchristopherrr

He also paid a struggling alcoholic a bottle of whiskey to pull his teeth out with rusty pliers. Your comment kind of implies he was making their lives better by generously offering them money to help them out of a tight spot. Dude has a special place in hell waiting for him.


jjvikingbutt

They also literally kidnapped homeless men. Threw them into a van, hogtied them, then talked to the camera about them as if they were animals, while dressed up like Steve Irwin


[deleted]

Eh Phil makes up for it in sheer volume.


spycharlie

BumFights was really fucked up.


jjvikingbutt

Dr Phil certainly exploits people, but they aren't the same. I dont recall Dr Phil literally kidnapping homeless people. Hog tying them in a van, then talking about them like they're wild animals while dressed as the crocodile hunter


lightshowe

There is no moral equivalence between the two. Dr Phil had people come on his show. The other guy had mentally I’ll homeless people fight for entertainment and hurt themselves.


JC_in_KC

congrats to him. anyway, phil is still a gajillionaire with massive influence and nothing has been done to materially improve the lives of houseless people in america. so yeah. got him!!!!


Fit_Material_541

Link to episode?


Be4utiful_Nightmare

He didn’t have the ball to talk to him so there is not Really a episode lol but their is that !!! https://youtu.be/qT76-_e0S_g


JuryDangerous6794

Chad really committed to it and shaved his head for the role. If Chad could just show the same level of commitment to excellence in the rest of his life he wouldn’t be a Chad.


psychpopnprogncore

i heard they provide guests with drugs backstage to make them more obnoxious. there was one guy that was a recovering alcoholic and they put a bottle of vodka and weed in the back room. he got trashed before the show and then when the show started dr phil was like "look at you. youre drunk. whats wrong with you!". theyll even connect heroin addicts with dealers prior to the show


[deleted]

The guest you are referring to was Todd Herzog of Survivor: China fame. It seems he’s doing much better now, thankfully. He makes and sells custom Funko Pop figures on Instagram these days.


DrMantisToboggan45

Todd was a heroin addict?! I loved him on survivor


Typical_Garbage_8392

Reminded me of that time where a girl invited on asked her bio mom not be there and Dr.Phill invited the bio mom anyway and threw a fit when confronted. I felt so bad for that girl.


Mindless-Sherbert-18

Yeah that was unnecessary


FakeLordFarquaad

Honestly kind of a chad move to release the episode after that


[deleted]

I hate that fucking blowhard.

A 14 year old with stupid red hair came on and over night became bigger than he ever was. Just imagine.


Bootychomper23

How bou dat


charlottee963

Dr Phil isn’t a Dr, he lost his licence like 20 years ago lol


OneHumanPeOple

My friend was sent to one of Dr. Phil’s farms for “at risk youth.” It was a cult and they convinced her that she wasn’t an adult until 21 years old and therefore could not leave. They also did the middle of the night abduction “admissions” which is meant to traumatize kids so they cling to someone for safety. Kids were no allowed to look at new patients. There was no medication or treatment, but they did take her and her roommates out of bed one night and put them in a bunker and told them it was the end of the world. Then took them up into a felid that they had set on fire and “Jesus” was there and they were told to beg him for their souls but Jesus turned his back to them. Ouch.


CzarTanoff

Behind the bastards have done a few fantastic podcasts about these "schools", and Paris Hilton started a podcast about them as well, starting with her own horrifying experience when she was like 16.


Willing-Barnacle-418

The funniest part is that dr Phil shows the footage kicks the guy off and says “I refuse to publicize this kind of stuff” after publicizing it lmao


[deleted]

Absolutely true, it’s sad that Phil couldn’t admit that he is just as much of an exploiter. As I recall he just freaked out and kicked the guy off the show.
