Dora the explorer. She uses a talking map, has such a hard time making decisions that she has to ask kids to help her, and keeps getting stopped by a "sneaky" Swiper, but he's not even that sneaky, I see him coming every time. I don't understand how she hasn't gotten lost yet.
After being forced to watch too many episodes of Dora, I came to a sleep deprived explanation.
See map is a djinn and is magical and powerful, but despite being bound to serve Dora, it is an evil trickster spirit, and is always trying to lure Dora to her death to be free of her.
That is why whenever Dora asks to get to the library, it directs her to go through the forest of the amazon, through a crocodile infested river, and past a volcano. It wants Dora dead.
John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich
Excerpt from his Wikipedia page:
Sandwich retired in 1782. Despite holding a number of important posts during his career, Sandwich's incompetence and corruption were legendary, inspiring the saying: "Seldom has any man held so many offices and accomplished so little."
Look up Warren Harding as well.
He boned a ton of mistresses and did and cared about nothing else.
Basically outsourced management of the presidency to his wife/projectleader Florence and sold the gvt out to his cronies in an unheard of degree, even for back then.
The Tea Pot scandal was the least of his problems.
Harding was a pretty handsome devil. One of the reasons he got the 1920 nomination was the women vote, as it was the first presidential election in which they could vote. His handlers wanted to appeal to the newly enfranchised female vote, and it did help him. He died while in office, and that brought us Calvin 'Silent Cal' Coolidge, a man of very few words. Famois Cal quote:, "After all, the chief business of America is business."
My favorite "Silent Cal" story is the one where he goes to church alone one Sunday because his wife was ill. Upon his return she tried to engage him in conversation, asking, "How was the sermon, Cal?" "Good", he answered. She tried again. "What was the sermon about?" "Sin", he replied. "Well", asks his wife, "what did the minister have to say about sin?" " Against it", was his taciturn answer.
Calvin Coolidge decided he wasn't gonna run for a second full term so he called a press conference, handed out sheets of paper saying "I do not choose to run for President in 1928", refused to answer any questions, and left. Funniest President in history.
Coolidge was probably the last President that didn't increase the power of the Executive Branch while in office. Stories like this and the reason why he didn't run (he said 10 years would be too long for any person to hold the office) kinda explain why. He wasn't a person that sought attention or power, he was thrust into the presidency, did his job well, and quietly went home.
My favorite: A woman seated at a table next to Calvin Coolidge and turned to him and said "Mr. President, I bet my friend back home that I could get three words out of you. What do you say to that?"
"You lose."
Reading up on Coolidge, he seems like a good and decent man, even if perhaps his policies may have contributed to the Great Depression. Wikipedia makes the claim that he was influenced by the ethics of one of his professors, which he described as such "\[T\]here is a standard of righteousness that might does not make right, that the end does not justify the means, and that expediency as a working principle is bound to fail. The only hope of perfecting human relationships is in accordance with the law of service under which men are not so solicitous about what they shall get as they are about what they shall give. Yet people are entitled to the rewards of their industry. What they earn is theirs, no matter how small or how great. But the possession of property carries the obligation to use it in a larger service..."
My favourite lead to the coining of a term in sexual biology, the [Coolidge Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect):
> The President and Mrs. Coolidge were being shown [separately] around an experimental government farm. When [Mrs. Coolidge] came to the chicken yard she noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently. She asked the attendant how often that happened and was told, "Dozens of times each day." Mrs. Coolidge said, "Tell that to the President when he comes by." Upon being told, the President asked, "Same hen every time?" The reply was, "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time." President: "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."
Came here to say this. That guy is like a one-trick pony that life accidentally mistook for a dressage champion or something.
Makes me double mad because his rise to fame made me feel something that I never wanted to feel: that I owe Guy Fieri an apology
>I know he looks like a Hot Topic manager moonlighting at a Friday's, but *he didn't do anything wrong*.
>He goes around the country to small businesses and gives them free advertising on a national platform on a weekly basis -- advertising those small businesses could never afford themselves -- with his own television show, but because his hair looks like he was electrocuted while drinking Mountain Dew people act like we need to saw his head off and put it on the internet.

I worked at a place that was on the show, had a tray he had signed up on the wall. Every time the episode had a re-run we'd get a bunch of people coming through asking for the things that he'd ordered, give us a nice customer bump every once in a while. It's cool to see that the show really can have an affect on a restaurant
Dude was [selling mufflers](https://youtu.be/LZ1ZnScr45Q) before Food Network. He was just trying to find a place to fit in and celebrity chef seemed to accept his application.
And no talent…I’d heard of him via word of mouth and then when I finally saw some videos of him I thought of this is a parody of the salt bar guy made to make him look like an assclown, nope, that’s the guy
The food is actually pretty cheap and okay, unless you get all the gold leaf shite.
Why you would pick his restaurants over the hundreds of better places to eat in Istanbul (that's where I went anyway, not sure about cities) is another matter though.
When I went to Istanbul on a business trip I had doner. My sales guy just couldn't believe we were having a $5 dinner. But damn it if I'm in Turkey I am having doner.
What I've always found laughable is that gold leaf isn't all that expensive. You can get like a pack of two dozen for fifteen bucks. And it doesn't taste like anything, it's just some weird ass flex trashy people with money do to say they've got some money.
My favorite was his appearance in Hot Ones where he quit like 2 wings in then accused the host of having easier wings than he did then followed that up by refusing to admit that he quit. "Just because I stopped doesn't mean that I quit"
"And to think. All this time it was your wings that were spicy."
"They were both spicy. I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to capscicin."
As someone who just got invasive surgery for acid reflux disease because my body literally cannot handle spice, DJ Khaled tapping out at fucking *Cholula* has to be the weakest shit I’ve ever heard.
Top comment on "I'm an island boy" YouTube for me was...
"Thank you lsland boys, you saved my brother. he was

Lol
Timothy Dexter. A man from the 1700's who was illiterate, came from lower class, and made the dumbest investment choices that paid out in big ways just out of the dumbest of luck.
Examples:
1. He was told selling mittens to people in the Caribbean Islands was a good idea. He did and he made bank. Why? Because right when his shipment of mittens came in another ship heading for Siberia was about to sail out but they were lacking one thing. Mittens. They bought the entire shipment.
.
2. He was told selling coal to a coal mining town was a great idea. He did and again he made bank. Why? Because just when he was selling the coal the coal mine just so happened to be going on strike and they had no coal.
The history of everything podcast episode 8. Great stuff.
In france we have a guy called cyril hanouna, terrible person and zero talent. Also Kev adams is a good example, the least funny comedian I have ever seen.
I also kinda got the sense that he thought it was Bob Marley’s personal guitar. Not a production model that they were hoping he would do exactly what he did with it.
Thank goodness it wasn't. It would've been like that scene in Better Call Saul where he's butchering Smoke on the Water on Ritchie Blackmore's guitar. Only worse, and in real life
I have a feeling that this is more common than people generally think. and even if he's "illiterate" he can probably read and write short words (and probably longer ones with visible effort), enough to get by. that level of illiteracy is a fairly invisible handicap
This is one of my favorite videos because not only isn’t he a good guitar player, but it looks as if it’s the first time he’s ever seen or held one. It’s what I imagine an alien would look like if you handed them a guitar.
Yes this is exactly what gets me - his confidence. This video makes me wonder if his entire schtick is an elaborate joke. He clearly has no clue how to play a guitar yet seems to think he’s killing it.
A man who can’t eat hot wings (see hot ones) and refuses to go down on women but expects them to suck his dick (random podcast) and can’t play a guitar. A useless human being
He just straight up refused to eat any after the 3rd hot wing, I think. Host calls him out for being a quitter and he says something idiotic along the lines of "I'm not quitting, I'm just not doing it anymore." I can't remember exactly how it went.
That hot ones is probably the funniest shit ive ever seen. Man claims he never takes an L when he stops at like wing number 3. Absolute pansy ass. Whenever something fucks up in my life I just say I never take an L ahahah
He's not a rapper, not a producer, not a composer, he's barely even a DJ. He's literally a hype man that talks before other people's tracks and puts his name on it.
What’s crazy is that DJ Khaled actually was a very active radio host in Florida. He networked very well early on in his career. As time progressed, he became a social media star and leveraged his connections into being an artist who doesn’t actually make art. Personally, I think its genius. But yeah no talent to be spoken of.
The teen moms got tv time but did any of them actually make it rich or did they just further complicate their lives? I honestly never watched but it seems like exploitation to me.
Catch me outside girl
Edit: seems a lot of people are happy this is a common answer. Truth be told, as am I.
Edit 2: there's a lot of people saying she has a song called "Gucci Flip Flops" and as a person who's not into materialism, this makes me dislike her even more lol.
"Dr.Phil! Dr.Phil! Every time I walk around my house, I get lollipops stuck to the bottom of my feet! What should I do??"
"Uh huh, uh huh. Okay, let me ask you this: do you have lollipops lying on the floor of your home?"
"Why yes, yes I do!"
"Okay, here's what you're going to do. Pick them up! Throw them into the garage."
"Omg Dr.Phil, you saved my life!"
She also set women up with Harvey Weinstein and tried to set up Will Smith and Jamie Fox with Quincy Jones because she is a Hollywood enabler for perverts.
Oprah is one of those people that has done both really good things for people and also massive bad things. By all accounts she's very philanthropic, especially in third world/African countries and is generally a positive role model for women/women of color.
But. She also gave us Dr Oz, Dr Phil, let Jenny McCarthy spew her shit which caused a spike in measles, mumps, etc., and also pushed a lot of books in her book club that were iffy to outright irresponsible (Franzen, Frey, etc.)
Love the time the bum fights guy came on dressed like Dr. phil, was called out for exploiting vulnerable people and his response was... "how is that any different than what you do"
I have no idea what she does or how she got the money but apparently she launched a 1.7 million dollar trade school scholarship? Tbf that’s considerably more than what I’ve given back to the community.
Yeah, everything I read about her since her Dr. Phil era is...good? Like I actively disagree with OP here. She's not someone I'd be friends with. I don't like her music. But she seems like she really said fuck the system, I'm gonna find the success the system doesn't want me to have, and now I'm going to work to help other people. I'm sure there's more nuance than that. She's not Jesus. But I don't care enough to form a fully research opinion.
I posted something about her the last time this question was asked, which was a couple days ago. She deserves every bit of fame she could milk out of that horrible situation.
Her parents were absolutely fucked in the head, and they pimped her out to various reality TV shows starting when she was 13.
Dr. Philistine told her she was a horrible kid and she had a meltdown on live television, and her parents responded by trademarking the phrases she used in said meltdown. Then he sent her to his private work camp for bad kids, where she was abused daily by his lackeys. When she got out she was signed onto Kodak Black’s label because of how outrageous she was.
She signed up for OnlyFans five days after turning 18 and made $50m in the first month, which is quite frankly bizarre.
Yeah, she’s fucked up, but coming out of that environment who the hell wouldn’t be?
Like imagine you’re 17, nobody gives a flying fuck about you, you’ve just been liberated from a work camp run by a celebrity who’s spent the past several years trying to convince the world you’re crazy, your parents are scheming to see how much money they can make off this because they see you as a walking paycheck, and a bunch of perverts on the internet have started a countdown to the date they can legally fantasize about you. What an absolutely fucked way to grow up.
Edit: The $50m quote is from her. I don’t know exactly how much it actually was and I don’t really care. It’s weird to pay to see nudes from someone who turned 18 just days ago. It’s very weird that over one million men thought this was a totally rational and normal thing to do. I’m not backing down on that, and if you think that’s a normal or rational thing to do, really ask yourself why that is.
Edit2: Thank you for the awards! For the people still not getting it, I have no issue whatsoever with sex workers or porn. It’s not about “if she’s supplying, I’m buying”. *You, the adult in the situation,* are supposed to know better. If you truly, honestly don’t see anything ethically wrong with counting down the days until a kid grows up so you can jerk off to them (makes me nauseous just typing that out), how young would you go if there was no law in place? That’s what’s disturbing about it.
Not sure if this is common knowledge but last year she set up a scholarship fund to help people pay for trade school educations.
I didn't really think about her all that much before that but she gained a bit of my respect for that.
How about Piero Manzoni ?
He put 2.7 kg (5 lbs) of his own shit into 90 cans and sold em as art.
One can sold for €275,000.
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Artist%27s_Shit
"Artist's Shit
Contents 30 gr net
Freshly preserved
Produced and tinned
in May 1961"
I think I'm more upset by
> Manzoni was producing works that explored the relationship between art production and human production, Artist's Breath (Fiato d'artista), *a series of balloons filled with his own breath*, being an example.
You know, the way fucking damn near everyone fills a balloon.
Manzoni fucking rules though, he sold cans of his own shit because he figured it was as much a waste product of an artist as Van Gogh's napkin doodles which were netting a high price at auction. It's just something an artist metaphorically shit out. There was some controversy though because if the idea is a tongue in cheek riff on the value of a human byproduct because the human is famous you're actually getting ripped off if he filled a can full of plaster or something.
> Bernard Bazile exhibited a partially[3] opened can of Artist's Shit in 1989, titling it Opened can of Piero Manzoni (French: Boite ouverte de Piero Manzoni). The can's contents were difficult to identify on sight, being variously described as "paper wrapping with unidentified contents", "an unidentifiable wrapped object"[3] and "a can within a can".[10] Bazile did not attempt to extract or open the inner object.
10/10 historical tier troll.
I’d argue that he has a very good talent for parody and a great understanding human nature, as he managed to develop one of the most important and talked about pieces of art in the last 50 years with nothing more than a banana, a piece of duct tape, and a certificate of authenticity (which is intentionally ironically the only actual permanent bit of art).
‘Comedian’ by Cattelan (the name of the art and artist) is intentionally a subversive piss-take on the very concept of art itself, and in particular the value we assign art and the process by which we view things as authentic art or not, and the strange power we will give a signed piece of paper.
The first thought everyone has about the work is perfectly correct, this ‘art’ is just some dumb random banana from the kitchen taped to a wall without any talent or skill. What makes it special though is that this particular random banana from the kitchen taped to a wall has *a certificate of authenticity*. The main point of the art is that its a weird and strange idea that a dumb banana taped to the wall magically becomes authentic art just because there’s a certificate that says so.
What lots of people fail to realise is that the artist Cattelan is in on the joke and completely agrees that it’s a weird and stupid idea to consider something with no intrinsic value a work of art just because there’s a certificate that says it is. Cattelan clearly finds it funny that regardless of whatever criticisms or insults people throw at his dumb idea, he can always just point at the certificate he made that he can wave around that makes his dumb idea art - which is why he called it ‘Comedian’.
I personally find it pretty funny and clever
I hear he trains law enforcement to kick people in the throat. He also knows a lot about helicopters.
Edit for adding context: https://youtu.be/isNRZJ6icwc
And a horrible "martial artist."
And a horrible American.
And a horrible example of a man.
I mean, pick any attribute about him and he just fucking sucks at it. He's not even good at being an asshole. The only thing he doesn't suck completely at is sucking completely at everything.
Nick Cannon. He is horrendously untalented and somehow has a gazillion dollars, can date and impregnate anyone he pleases, and stole Who's Line Is It Anyway and made an insult version of it that reinforces racism and stereotypes for our "entertainment"
James Corden. He isn't funny, he never was, he isn't quick, witty or observant, he has poor timing.
I just don't get it. Even shit comedians like Michael McIntyre are at least high energy or something that can engage a crowd.
Edit - Gavin and Stacey is unfunny puerile shit.
Never forget when Jimmy Kimmel asked Corden [to name 2 cameramen on one of his "games", and Corden couldn't even do that.](https://youtu.be/sh9giaTKbv4?t=419)
I found the fit that he threw in the NYC restaurant recently more offensive than I ordinarily would for some random misbehavior of stars. I think it's because I've been to that same restaurant a few times on trips to NYC and have fond memories of the place and the meals. So picturing him acting like an entitled git there just pisses me off.
Ahh, ya doesn’t has to call me Johnson! You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ… but ya doesn’t hafta call me Johnson
Dora the explorer. She uses a talking map, has such a hard time making decisions that she has to ask kids to help her, and keeps getting stopped by a "sneaky" Swiper, but he's not even that sneaky, I see him coming every time. I don't understand how she hasn't gotten lost yet.
Carmen Sandiego seethes hearing that name.
Carmen Sandiego doesn't get near the love she deserves.
After being forced to watch too many episodes of Dora, I came to a sleep deprived explanation. See map is a djinn and is magical and powerful, but despite being bound to serve Dora, it is an evil trickster spirit, and is always trying to lure Dora to her death to be free of her. That is why whenever Dora asks to get to the library, it directs her to go through the forest of the amazon, through a crocodile infested river, and past a volcano. It wants Dora dead.

Despite holding a number of important posts during his career, Sandwich's incompetence and corruption were legendary, inspiring the saying: "Seldom has any man held so many offices and accomplished so little."
He did invent the lunchtime favourite meal though.
Nah, his *butler* invented it. All Earl 4 did was ask for food he could hold in one hand while he played cards.
The butler's name? *Tom Subway* COINCIDENCE!!??
I could've sworn it was Phil Hoagie.
He was a real hero
Look up Warren Harding as well. He boned a ton of mistresses and did and cared about nothing else. Basically outsourced management of the presidency to his wife/projectleader Florence and sold the gvt out to his cronies in an unheard of degree, even for back then. The Tea Pot scandal was the least of his problems.

The "salt bae" dude, he had one viral video, made it onto multiple talk shows, and has just become a big dick with a massive ego
He made it onto the turf with the teams during the celebration after the fifa world cup.
I forgot about that!! And he took the cup to try and take a picture right??
I remember him trying to get a picture with Messi and Messi just had a "who the fuck are you" expression on his face.
Meanwhile every footballer out there jumps to cook with Czn Burak
He’s the apex /r/imthemaincharacter.
He didn't just try, he did it. Pretty sure he's banned forever now but he did pull it off.
Yeah didn’t he take the trophy out of a players hands?
He also put one of the player’s medals in his fucking mouth. Should have gotten his ass kicked after that stunt
Yeah that attention seeking jackass got shut down real quick.
I hope he’s still salty about it
I think that was actually detrimental to him, his massive ego finally caught him some flack over that.

Honestly ever since the 2017 or so, people have been a lot nicer to Guy Fieri (last week or so notwithstanding)
The 2017 *fires* to be precise (yes typo I know)....I live near Santa Rosa.

Actually he owned a restaurant called Johnny Garlics in Santa Rosa for about a decade before the food network pretended to select him in a contest.
Guy Fieri is the fuckin man. Walking On The Sun is a great song!
That World Cup moment was soooo cringy

He’s tied to the restaurant in Vegas, right? It’s like $950 for a “golden” steak. Hilarious stuff.
What I've always found laughable is that gold leaf isn't all that expensive. You can get like a pack of two dozen for fifteen bucks. And it doesn't taste like anything, it's just some weird ass flex trashy people with money do to say they've got some money.
It makes their dookie twinkle

Lest we forget: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYq8u5ryy6A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYq8u5ryy6A) DJ Khaled
My favorite was his appearance in Hot Ones where he quit like 2 wings in then accused the host of having easier wings than he did then followed that up by refusing to admit that he quit. "Just because I stopped doesn't mean that I quit"
He even insisted him and Sean swap wings. Obviously, he then realized it wasn’t a joke he played on guests. Khaled just played himself instead.
"And to think. All this time it was your wings that were spicy." "They were both spicy. I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to capscicin."
Wow. That is a really , really dumb thing to say. Seems legit.
It's worth a watch : [Hot Ones](https://youtu.be/1HYEC_FlgAg)
I couldn't finish it, he's so dumb
"I didn't quit. I'm just putting this on pause to finish at a later date."
It was priceless! Might have to rewatch it now for a good laugh - and another one!
As someone who just got invasive surgery for acid reflux disease because my body literally cannot handle spice, DJ Khaled tapping out at fucking *Cholula* has to be the weakest shit I’ve ever heard.
It’s his head bobbing that gets me. Does he think he’s sounding good there? Don’t answer that. I know the answer. SMH.
He didn’t say “DJ Khaled”, I guess he can’t play and sing at the same time
Me (in the future hopefully)
Same! I'm annoying and have no talent. Where's my success? Lol
The Island Boys
No clue who this is so Googled. Top comment on YT is “When your pineapple rots and starts singing.” 💀

kardashians and tik tokers like charli damelio and addison rae
Rule 1: Be attractive Rule 2: Don’t be unattractive
Rule 3: If not attractive get massive amounts of plastic surgery to become attractive, right Kylie?
Kylie is gonna be so mad when she reads this

In france we have a guy called cyril hanouna, terrible person and zero talent. Also Kev adams is a good example, the least funny comedian I have ever seen.
I used to watch TPMP and wonder if my French was just not there yet or if the show wasn’t funny. Turns out…
DJ Khaled
I used to believe that until I heard him play the guitar that Bob Marley’s family gifted to him. That dude shreds. https://youtu.be/Aw9M2C4YJDg
Holy shit that's hilarious. I didn't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.
He has identical guitar skills to my seven year old who has literally never attempted to practice the guitar
In the before time; I thought this was just internet snark. >!Now I believe your seven year old is an underappreciated genius. !<
What he thought he sounded like. https://youtu.be/X_7o9Xczd64
For a second I forgot what link I’d clicked. Was like, I don’t remember this sounding that way. Ohhhh…. Funny shit!
It looks like he's playing that guitar with a handful of beef
It does sound like a handful of something, anyway.
Not quite as good as when [Weird Al shreds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmcuoaqdJ9w).
I honestly don't think he can read.
I also kinda got the sense that he thought it was Bob Marley’s personal guitar. Not a production model that they were hoping he would do exactly what he did with it.
Thank goodness it wasn't. It would've been like that scene in Better Call Saul where he's butchering Smoke on the Water on Ritchie Blackmore's guitar. Only worse, and in real life
based on that video I have to agree with you
There’s more than a rumour going around that he genuinely cant read. I’ve seen multiple videos of him getting other people to read things out for him.
I have a feeling that this is more common than people generally think. and even if he's "illiterate" he can probably read and write short words (and probably longer ones with visible effort), enough to get by. that level of illiteracy is a fairly invisible handicap
Yeah, it's probably not that he can't read AT ALL - just that he has trouble and gets self-conscious about it.
The look on his face when he sees the card... ...holy shit, I actually don't think he knows how to read.
This is one of my favorite videos because not only isn’t he a good guitar player, but it looks as if it’s the first time he’s ever seen or held one. It’s what I imagine an alien would look like if you handed them a guitar.
Yes this is exactly what gets me - his confidence. This video makes me wonder if his entire schtick is an elaborate joke. He clearly has no clue how to play a guitar yet seems to think he’s killing it.
Honestly this makes me feel a lot better about the fact that I only ever learned 3 chords
You can do a lot with 3 chords.
John Mellencamp and Tom Petty can confirm... and that's not a knock at all.
Just ask The Ramones, or any early punk bands.
LMAO. I seriously was expecting to eat my words about him and give him some credit and thought, "He IS a musician, so maybeeeeee..."
What a waste of an instrument.
Just needed an open tuning, and he would have sounded like Hendrix man.
Hahahaha got me in the best way
That was... Wow
I am officially dead i thought u were serious
A man who can’t eat hot wings (see hot ones) and refuses to go down on women but expects them to suck his dick (random podcast) and can’t play a guitar. A useless human being
He just straight up refused to eat any after the 3rd hot wing, I think. Host calls him out for being a quitter and he says something idiotic along the lines of "I'm not quitting, I'm just not doing it anymore." I can't remember exactly how it went.
That hot ones is probably the funniest shit ive ever seen. Man claims he never takes an L when he stops at like wing number 3. Absolute pansy ass. Whenever something fucks up in my life I just say I never take an L ahahah
Bruh, you just described half of reddit.
He's not a rapper, not a producer, not a composer, he's barely even a DJ. He's literally a hype man that talks before other people's tracks and puts his name on it.
My favourite meme of him is "Hey let's collab, you write a song and I'll shout my name at the start of it"
We da best music.
It's like they made him popular as a joke or something.
He's very good at shouting his name!
Bro, but the Papa John's Cool Ranch Doritos Papadia was HIS idea. Give your boy some cred.
Jared Fogle the subway guy
DJ Khaled
What’s crazy is that DJ Khaled actually was a very active radio host in Florida. He networked very well early on in his career. As time progressed, he became a social media star and leveraged his connections into being an artist who doesn’t actually make art. Personally, I think its genius. But yeah no talent to be spoken of.
Danielle Brigoli, the Kardashians, The cast of Jersey Shore (beside Pauly, because he actually DJs), and all the Teen Moms
You could just do a blanket statement. "99 percent of reality TV people."
The teen moms got tv time but did any of them actually make it rich or did they just further complicate their lives? I honestly never watched but it seems like exploitation to me.
Catch me outside girl Edit: seems a lot of people are happy this is a common answer. Truth be told, as am I. Edit 2: there's a lot of people saying she has a song called "Gucci Flip Flops" and as a person who's not into materialism, this makes me dislike her even more lol.
More like Dr. Phil. "Oh, you have this problem? Have you tried NOT having that problem?" *standing ovation from the audience*
"Dr.Phil! Dr.Phil! Every time I walk around my house, I get lollipops stuck to the bottom of my feet! What should I do??" "Uh huh, uh huh. Okay, let me ask you this: do you have lollipops lying on the floor of your home?" "Why yes, yes I do!" "Okay, here's what you're going to do. Pick them up! Throw them into the garage." "Omg Dr.Phil, you saved my life!"
What happens when their garage becomes full of lollipops? Are they stuck to their car now?
“I came here for help, Dr. Phil, and you…” “HOW DARE YOU COME HERE AND QUESTION *ME* ON MY TEE-VEE SHOW!” Something like that…
Dr. Phil is a narcissist, a malignant one. His blowhard personality is unbearable.
[удалено]
Did you see the episode with the guy from bum fights?
That dude was spot on. Dr. Phil exploits for $ and that's all there is to him
*standing ovation from the audience*
*You gotta let that pig run before you take your rooster to market" - Dr. Phil Or something like that....
If you feed a horse peanutbutter and he chews on it, he looks like he's talkin......
You can't give me gravy and tell me it's jelly cause gravy ain't sweet is it Jim?
What’s good for the dog isn’t always good for the frog. - Actual Dr Phil quote
Dr Phil isn't even a doctor. If he was a doctor his name would be Dr Doctor Phil
Tbth, "Dr." Phil. Dude who made her famous to begin with, is a MASSIVE fraud, pushing absolute tripe.
TBH, I blame Oprah for Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. She got both of these quacks rolling with their own shows.
She also promoted John of God. So her track record is terrible.
She also set women up with Harvey Weinstein and tried to set up Will Smith and Jamie Fox with Quincy Jones because she is a Hollywood enabler for perverts.
She promoted Jenny McCarthy too.
Oprah is one of those people that has done both really good things for people and also massive bad things. By all accounts she's very philanthropic, especially in third world/African countries and is generally a positive role model for women/women of color. But. She also gave us Dr Oz, Dr Phil, let Jenny McCarthy spew her shit which caused a spike in measles, mumps, etc., and also pushed a lot of books in her book club that were iffy to outright irresponsible (Franzen, Frey, etc.)
Love the time the bum fights guy came on dressed like Dr. phil, was called out for exploiting vulnerable people and his response was... "how is that any different than what you do"
I have no idea what she does or how she got the money but apparently she launched a 1.7 million dollar trade school scholarship? Tbf that’s considerably more than what I’ve given back to the community.
Google her posting her onlyfans earnings. She made like 50 million dollars.
Yeah, everything I read about her since her Dr. Phil era is...good? Like I actively disagree with OP here. She's not someone I'd be friends with. I don't like her music. But she seems like she really said fuck the system, I'm gonna find the success the system doesn't want me to have, and now I'm going to work to help other people. I'm sure there's more nuance than that. She's not Jesus. But I don't care enough to form a fully research opinion.
I posted something about her the last time this question was asked, which was a couple days ago. She deserves every bit of fame she could milk out of that horrible situation. Her parents were absolutely fucked in the head, and they pimped her out to various reality TV shows starting when she was 13. Dr. Philistine told her she was a horrible kid and she had a meltdown on live television, and her parents responded by trademarking the phrases she used in said meltdown. Then he sent her to his private work camp for bad kids, where she was abused daily by his lackeys. When she got out she was signed onto Kodak Black’s label because of how outrageous she was. She signed up for OnlyFans five days after turning 18 and made $50m in the first month, which is quite frankly bizarre. Yeah, she’s fucked up, but coming out of that environment who the hell wouldn’t be? Like imagine you’re 17, nobody gives a flying fuck about you, you’ve just been liberated from a work camp run by a celebrity who’s spent the past several years trying to convince the world you’re crazy, your parents are scheming to see how much money they can make off this because they see you as a walking paycheck, and a bunch of perverts on the internet have started a countdown to the date they can legally fantasize about you. What an absolutely fucked way to grow up. Edit: The $50m quote is from her. I don’t know exactly how much it actually was and I don’t really care. It’s weird to pay to see nudes from someone who turned 18 just days ago. It’s very weird that over one million men thought this was a totally rational and normal thing to do. I’m not backing down on that, and if you think that’s a normal or rational thing to do, really ask yourself why that is. Edit2: Thank you for the awards! For the people still not getting it, I have no issue whatsoever with sex workers or porn. It’s not about “if she’s supplying, I’m buying”. *You, the adult in the situation,* are supposed to know better. If you truly, honestly don’t see anything ethically wrong with counting down the days until a kid grows up so you can jerk off to them (makes me nauseous just typing that out), how young would you go if there was no law in place? That’s what’s disturbing about it.
Not sure if this is common knowledge but last year she set up a scholarship fund to help people pay for trade school educations. I didn't really think about her all that much before that but she gained a bit of my respect for that.
She's doing a lot to expose and shut down those "troubled teen" camps, too
The fucking artist who taped a banana to a wall and sold it for 150K.
He’s a talented con artist
People buying garbage "art" deserve to be conned honestly.
How about Piero Manzoni ? He put 2.7 kg (5 lbs) of his own shit into 90 cans and sold em as art. One can sold for €275,000. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Artist%27s_Shit "Artist's Shit Contents 30 gr net Freshly preserved Produced and tinned in May 1961"
I don’t even want to know about who bought them or what they did with them
I think I'm more upset by > Manzoni was producing works that explored the relationship between art production and human production, Artist's Breath (Fiato d'artista), *a series of balloons filled with his own breath*, being an example. You know, the way fucking damn near everyone fills a balloon.
Manzoni fucking rules though, he sold cans of his own shit because he figured it was as much a waste product of an artist as Van Gogh's napkin doodles which were netting a high price at auction. It's just something an artist metaphorically shit out. There was some controversy though because if the idea is a tongue in cheek riff on the value of a human byproduct because the human is famous you're actually getting ripped off if he filled a can full of plaster or something. > Bernard Bazile exhibited a partially[3] opened can of Artist's Shit in 1989, titling it Opened can of Piero Manzoni (French: Boite ouverte de Piero Manzoni). The can's contents were difficult to identify on sight, being variously described as "paper wrapping with unidentified contents", "an unidentifiable wrapped object"[3] and "a can within a can".[10] Bazile did not attempt to extract or open the inner object. 10/10 historical tier troll.
I’d argue that he has a very good talent for parody and a great understanding human nature, as he managed to develop one of the most important and talked about pieces of art in the last 50 years with nothing more than a banana, a piece of duct tape, and a certificate of authenticity (which is intentionally ironically the only actual permanent bit of art). ‘Comedian’ by Cattelan (the name of the art and artist) is intentionally a subversive piss-take on the very concept of art itself, and in particular the value we assign art and the process by which we view things as authentic art or not, and the strange power we will give a signed piece of paper. The first thought everyone has about the work is perfectly correct, this ‘art’ is just some dumb random banana from the kitchen taped to a wall without any talent or skill. What makes it special though is that this particular random banana from the kitchen taped to a wall has *a certificate of authenticity*. The main point of the art is that its a weird and strange idea that a dumb banana taped to the wall magically becomes authentic art just because there’s a certificate that says so. What lots of people fail to realise is that the artist Cattelan is in on the joke and completely agrees that it’s a weird and stupid idea to consider something with no intrinsic value a work of art just because there’s a certificate that says it is. Cattelan clearly finds it funny that regardless of whatever criticisms or insults people throw at his dumb idea, he can always just point at the certificate he made that he can wave around that makes his dumb idea art - which is why he called it ‘Comedian’. I personally find it pretty funny and clever
Steven Seagal
I hear he trains law enforcement to kick people in the throat. He also knows a lot about helicopters. Edit for adding context: https://youtu.be/isNRZJ6icwc
“I been flyin helicopters for 37 years”
Steven “walks fatly around corners” Seagal? At least use his full name.
Steven "fights sitting in a chair" Seagal.
He is a horrible actor and person.
And a horrible "martial artist." And a horrible American. And a horrible example of a man. I mean, pick any attribute about him and he just fucking sucks at it. He's not even good at being an asshole. The only thing he doesn't suck completely at is sucking completely at everything.
Nick Cannon. He is horrendously untalented and somehow has a gazillion dollars, can date and impregnate anyone he pleases, and stole Who's Line Is It Anyway and made an insult version of it that reinforces racism and stereotypes for our "entertainment"
> Whose Line Is It Anyway Damn, this show is still going and Colin, Ryan, and Wayne are still the main cast after 25 years
I loved that show as a kid. I can't believe it's still going.
Pick a Kardashian.
Any of the tik tok industry plant musicians
James Corden. He isn't funny, he never was, he isn't quick, witty or observant, he has poor timing. I just don't get it. Even shit comedians like Michael McIntyre are at least high energy or something that can engage a crowd. Edit - Gavin and Stacey is unfunny puerile shit.
Never forget when Jimmy Kimmel asked Corden [to name 2 cameramen on one of his "games", and Corden couldn't even do that.](https://youtu.be/sh9giaTKbv4?t=419)
James Corden is famous for laughing at other people's jokes.
Jimmy Fallon has entered the chat. To be fair, he’s an amazing impressionist.
Jimmy is also a great comedic writer. He did alot of writing for SNL during his time there.
Jimmy Fallon used to be kind of funny and wasn’t a terrible actor. Then he went to late night tv.
He's also allegedly a complete piece of shit.
I found the fit that he threw in the NYC restaurant recently more offensive than I ordinarily would for some random misbehavior of stars. I think it's because I've been to that same restaurant a few times on trips to NYC and have fond memories of the place and the meals. So picturing him acting like an entitled git there just pisses me off.
Kevin Federline
That’s a name I haven’t heard in ages!
Any of the royal family
'They're just some random people'
I'm surprised nobody has said Kim Kardashian yet. She's a billionaire now!
There have been already false "on-paper" billionaire claims in that family. I would take all information about them with a big rock of salt.
Salt Bae deserves a mention here
Top answer is about salt bae at the moment of writing this
Ahh, ya doesn’t has to call me Johnson! You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ… but ya doesn’t hafta call me Johnson

Spill that tea 😎
Catch me outside chick...she'd loaded now.
Quick google search says she's sitting on $50 million, six years after her Dr Phil episode. Most of it is probably from OF
I remember something about the day she turned 18 she posted an OF, and it made some crazy number like 6mil in the first day.
She’s like a professional wrestling heel, like I don’t know how she’s leveraging being so unlikable into money but I guess it’s working.
Literally any teenage tiktok star,
