Dr Phil: Psychological Genius or the New Jerry Springer?
Or both?
Or neither?
I remember months ago I watched when Dr. Phil. He created an incredible social experiment where he put some of the widest range of people in one house and forced them to live together. Wait… no, I didn’t say that right because of my accent. He created an incredibly formulaic piece of shit.
The premise was, he would get very different people… a gym junkie and a lard-arse… A confederate Southern mofo and a black American. Put them all together in one house and see if they get along. The conclusion of the experiment was that they hated each other. Glad I don’t watch TV often.
Another time I caught his show… He got the director of Bumfights to come on to his show. He played a clip of interviews with Mr. Bum Fights, saying his philosophy about how he was providing a service of entertainment to the people… some footage of bums glassing each other, Roofus the Stunt Bum jumping into a wall… Bum came out dressed exactly like Dr. Phil, with the top of his head shaved. Dr. Phil told him what an arsehole he was, and got security to kick him out of the studio, in what amounted to
THE BEST AD FOR BUMFIGHTS EVER MADE
“That is absolutely despicable… and I refuse to publicise that.” Dr. Phil… on national TV. I don’t know how much Phil got paid for the promo… but I bet it was a lot.
This other time… Phil was interviewing a 25 year old teacher who’d had sex with one of her students. “How could you take advantage of your student like that… That is deplorable.”
Come on dude, I mean that kid may have had some seriously hot sex with the teacher, I know that’s pretty bad. But the real downside was, it was actually the only recorded case of a kid getting so many high fives from his buddies, he got cancer.
Not only did he fuck his hot teacher, he got famous for it too.
There’s another story that says when Dr. Phil married his first wife, he assigned her to home duties, including doing exercises that would increase her bustline. True story… according to wikipedia at least.
Dr. Phil loves to get his son and wife on the show to give you advice. Imagine if your GP did that… You walk in with a broken leg and your doctor says “Well hey I’ve been working hard lately, I thought my 12 year old son Derrick could diagnose you instead.” Derrick starts getting the tongue depressers and sticking them on your leg with wood glue or some shit. You don’t even get a lollypop afterwards because Derrick has eaten them all. Then his wife comes in and you say “Listen I really need some medical attention, my leg is broken.” And she says “Well I understand your leg may be broken… but how does that make you feel. Let’s explore this more on our next session.”
