At least Oz was an accomplished heart surgeon before he turned to grifting. This guy can't even claim that much.

I hope he dies alone and penniless.

Dr Phil is a prick. The end.

Fuck Phil McGraw. He's a dumb prick who actively makes the world a worse place with his bottom of the barrel trashy TV shows.

Good news.

You mean dr. Phil the guy who invented the bum fights video series back in the early 2000s?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's zero reason to take credit away from the bum fights guy for his own brand of trash, but you can definitely say you mean Dr. Phil, the guy who saw profit and value in doing a bit with the bum fights guy for views.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You are correct. They are equal parts trash, one just had a national TV show he spewed his "folksy" wisdom on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

They both exploit desperate people for profit, but one of them is honest about doing so. The other one is just misery porn camouflaged as therapy.

I agree but that's not his worst evil on our society. It's the torture camps he sent kids to and promoted.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It's shocking just how evil normal every day things are. We gotta shut down all those camps

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hopefully, this caused a lot of personal financial harm for him.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And stress on his cardiac muscles.

And stress on his cardiac muscles.

I like the sentiment, but I'm not certain that he has a heart.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

That's why I used different words 🤪🤪

Oprah unleashed a lot of harm

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder if she feels any shame

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

She's still a billionaire, so no.

Woke = compassion. GQP hates compassion.

It's my hope that Dr. Phil eats a shotgun as he pulls the trigger.

I don't have compassion for the GQP/Trump-ers/MAGAts, I wish them the worst, and I'll do my part to deliver before I'm deported/imprisoned.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

woke= anything conservatives doesnt like that makes them uncomfortable, usually around bigotry ,race, gender, poc not following thier "social norms"/. most profound in cinema, movies/shows.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Didn't you know that compassion has no place in "Christian" America?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I hope Dr. Phil ends up with incurable syphilis of the taint.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Those taint scars that may appear like syphilis were actually left behind from Oprah's vice grip.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

he should go to MEMHET OZ for some snakesoil cure.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

just like tim allens anti-woke show that never made headlines, and jerry seinfeld with his wierd commercial.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

tim allens anti-woke show

Last Man Standing? I accidentally caught a bit of that. Tim Allen was a grandparent complaining that his kids weren't allowing him to brainwash his grandkids. About the most boomer coded shit I've ever seen.

Now that I think about it, I never really liked the episode of Home Improvement where they made environmentalists into strawmen and punching bags.

edit: oh god, he made another one.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago

Gotta be real embarrassing to have your anti woke crusade fail in this climate.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Daily Wire (bssically Ben Shapiro)'s streaming service/movie production branch is also going financially tits up lately.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he also harbored gina caranos anti-woke, pro conservative movie once.

Don't forget ladyballers, which was originally supposed to be a basically 'opinionated' documentar, where just some of the gang try to sign up for an actual, realworld basketball league, as women.

This original concept of the movie was scrapped after they were told they would all have to actually start on HRT and progress to the point that their metabolic panels came back showing they were now within whatever parameters that local/minor league used as their definition of 'sufficiently transitioned', and none of the crew/actors would do it.

So, they made it into a fucking terrible 'comedy' movie instead.

Shapiro is on camera admitting this, laughing the whole time, utterly missing the fact that... that this happened basically destroys 99% of the 'facts and logic' he uses to generate his rhetoric regarding trans folks.

May he rot in the hell he believes in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Oh no. Anyway…

Not woke, go broke.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Get wrecked, fucker

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Welp, that was inevitable.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

What a shame. /s

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Broke mind virus strikes again!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Good. Get fucked "Dr" Phil.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Does this mean his ice show is gone?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Whenever I hear about Dr. Phil I think of this
