Will we ever see a talk show with the level of insanity of the Maury show again

[General Mills]

I will NEVER forget the episode where a man was “in love with” food and his girl fought him because he chose the footlong over her

Nope. We have Snapchat, tic tok, IG, for all the fukkery. I'm actually surprised Maury is still on.

Even as a youngster, the c00ning on Maury made me feel some type of way. Thousands of kids would get off the bus to watch what was essentially a minstrel show.

I eventually started only watching the non-paternity episodes. "Is this a man or woman" "out of control kids" "watch this fool run away from a bowl of mustard" etc.

But the darkest and sickest episodes were the sexual harassment and rape survivor ones


Maury: after Danielle was roofied she was led to a hotel where she was forcibly penetrated by hotdogs...

Audience: ooh

Maury: ...a tennis shoe

Audience: ooohhh


Maury: ...and a Louisville Slugger baseball bat


Audience: oooooohh

Danielle:

I watched Jerry springer too. But with that the fukkery was actively encouraged. With maury it still kind of snuck up on you.

Producers: hey boss, this black woman has Asian twin babies and thinks a black man is the father

Maury: *leans back in his chair and tents his fingers* go on...

All facts

 

[The_Sheff]

Jerry was the shyt at first but when it got over the top fake is when we pivoted to Maury. Maury found that sweet spot between fukkery and believability and camped in it.

Yeah, Maury was seen as the moderate grounded option.
