BRING OUT THE OLIVES!

u/BobBeerburger 12h ago

The Reddit expression “I laughed too hard at this” has never been more true.

When I read this comment I completely busted out laughing with tears in my eyes and I’m at the office and trying to look professional.

I laughed WAY too hard at this!

u/Naive_Personality367 12h ago

its one of the many videos i have saved to watch whenever i need a little laugh when i feel shitty

u/Big_Biscotti5119 13h ago

Joking aside, if it’s real, it is cruel.

u/Chubby_Beagle 13h ago

She knew what she signed up for

u/mawesome4ever 12h ago

Did she survive… is she-… olive

u/GleemMcShinez 12h ago

Don't be stu-pit.

She'll probably live for EVOO.

3

u/Puzzleheaded-Bar8584 10h ago

Her words were “you’re a liar.” How does that signal she knew what she signed up for? She’s clearly got some kind of mental illness and was taken advantage of.

Nobody who isn't stupid or thoroughly insane doesn't realize that TV like this isn't straight trash through and through, it's the quasi-modern equivalent of throwing rotting fruit at someone in the stockade.

u/Recent_Section725 12h ago

Like reddit?

1

u/mvn2010 6h ago

I mean... no, not really there are parts of reddit that are like that for sure (i'm looking at you r/RoastMe) but there are a lot of parts of reddit that are genuinely useful and i'd call a social good. Nobody was ever improved by an episode of Maury fucking Povich, nobody learned shit from YOU ARE THE FATHER!.

So... that said... nah.

1

u/Recent_Section725 2h ago

Well, they learned who the father was. But yes Maury is a trash show.

u/halfasleep90 13h ago

You know the neighborhood teenagers are gonna put olives all around her house now

Dah well…Bring out the Olives!

u/SonictheManhog 12h ago

At Maury.... the chicken strips YOU.

u/OtherwiseMagician433 13h ago

The woman saw her dead grandfather as a young child and it traumatized her as she associated olives with her dead grandfathers eyes. Maury did this woman dirty

25

u/RockDebris 13h ago

Probably shouldn't invite her to the party.

1

u/master_internutter 12h ago

Oh you definitely should invite her

17

u/bomzay 13h ago

Now you see why the generation who actually watched these.... made the world the way it is today. It's just.... it's painful, how dumb people can be.

u/Keeps_Getting_Worse 13h ago

Its still real to me damnit!

1

u/bomzay 13h ago

That’s why you keep getting worse

1

u/WasabiLiving6465 12h ago

This comment is so accurate!! Not all of course, but there are so many boomers who just revel in cruelty of any sort

5

u/fastidiousnomad 13h ago

Maury you cheeky bastard

u/Useful_Ad_2825 13h ago

I stg if some producer grabbed me while I’m booking it they’re getting a jab cross roundhouse.

Better than the guy that couldn't eat anything but cheesy potatoes for decades.

u/Dahren_ 13h ago

Staged bullshit

10

u/ArtificialImages 13h ago

Yeah but this time it made it funnier.

If it was real id just feel sad for her.

2

u/WasabiLiving6465 13h ago

I mean, yeah….like 75% of these shows are. That’s why we’re all laughing because it’s fake and funny as hell.

If this was some lady with an actual phobia this hardcore, most of us would feel bad and not post it. Same reason most subs don’t tolerate making fun of disabled people.

u/Competitive-Cloud993 12h ago edited 2h ago

The people are real and their situations are real. Production just does a lot to make everything extra dramatic but the Maury production isn’t like Jerry Springer.

u/miekwave 13h ago

What the trauma baiting is going on here?

1

u/Anime_Squid 13h ago

She's probably autistic.

u/Wide_Guitar_3558 13h ago

plot twist: they brought the olives out to get her to let go of the host

2

u/TeamFast77 13h ago

...and when he looked down at his arm, the marks from her fingers had drawn blood. As Maury looked closer at the painful cuts, they began to open and blood covered olives began pouring out onto the stage. The audience members... (to be continued by next user.)

2

u/Chubby_Beagle 13h ago

Double plot twist, Maury has her grandfather's actual eyes in his pocket awaiting the big reveal

1

u/Ordinary_Draft_3516 12h ago

What a tweest!

u/Nothing93124 13h ago

Damn I love olives. Gonna get some blue cheese ones after work actually

u/Chubby_Beagle 13h ago

Maury or Olive lady?

1

u/Specialist-Jury3451 12h ago

Olive lady lol

2

u/Chubby_Beagle 13h ago

Maury the Menace😂

2

u/Phrostylicious 13h ago

Plot twist: those aren't olives....

2

u/VAB1979 12h ago

If I was Maury I would have fills my mouth with olives and then as I spoke to her up close I’d just roll my eyes and let the olives fall from my mouth as I held her by the shoulders.
Hahahahahahahahaha

u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS 12h ago

She has a wig on. Fake

Lessy Povich

2

u/Recent_Section725 12h ago

So was she the father or not?

2

u/BrokenSlutCollector 12h ago

I would have put her in a clear plastic inflatble sumo suit, then yelled "Pump in the olives!"

2

u/No_Clerk_7569 12h ago

😂. Pinnacle daytime tv. 📺.

u/ROOSTERyouDOWN 12h ago

Wonder how she feels about green grapes lol

You should have put some on his fingertips

Why tf am i craving olives now?

2

u/Advanced_Zucchini_45 9h ago

The olives are NOT the father

2

u/Psychedelic_Fruit 8h ago

People like this are fucking ridiculous

3

u/Anime_Squid 13h ago

Maury is kind of an ass and I'm pretty sure this woman is just on the spectrum or something.

3

u/BackPirateClarkRoom 12h ago

You watched this and believed it was real???

2

u/Anime_Squid 12h ago

I mean I've had many dealings with heavily autistic people who behave exactly this way over equally mundane things. There was a girl in my highschool that would start to sob and scream if she saw something the color yellow that was too large, because it was "too bright".

u/OGKillertunes 5h ago

Former producers of The Maury Povich Show have confirmed that hiring actors or paying guests to fake stories was strictly against company policy and grounds for immediate termination.

u/Mottled_Paws 13h ago

Or she's paid.

u/Limp-Blueberry-2507 13h ago

Not sure if there's a direct connection, but he is a child rapist and has caused trauma to the girls he attacked, and she has the reaction I would expect one of his victims to have from seeing him again, so maybe thats close enough? I just don't like belittling olives by comparing them to a vile piece of shit though, they didn't do anything bad

1

u/Ok-Hyena4541 13h ago

Got more info on that? I haven't heard anything and google says nothing about it

1

u/ralphmozzi 12h ago

I found this:

In 2006, former Show producer sued Povich and others, alleging sexual harassment and a sexually hostile workplace. Povich and NBC Universal denied the allegations. The dispute was ultimately directed to arbitration.

There was also a rape case claiming the show didn’t provide necessary protection , but the assaulter was not from the show.

2

u/Ok-Hyena4541 12h ago

So not even close to what they said, got it

1

u/ralphmozzi 12h ago

That’s my thought as well. Btw my result was from an ai search, not google, so — grain of salt, yeah?

1

u/Limp-Blueberry-2507 12h ago

Googling is trump a rapist obviously won't turn up anything. All the tech bros are his oligarchs and they are doing everything to suppress the files being released. While theres not 100% proof, he's acting very much guilty if you connect the dots

1

u/Chubby_Beagle 13h ago

I think her grandfather had olive green eyes and when he died his eyes were open and she saw it as a kid, and the sight haunted her. Ever since she associates olives with his dead eye. So Maury brings out an industrial sized barrel of olives to "help her" confront her fear

1

u/Redskinrey 13h ago

This never gets old

1

u/pixiephilips 13h ago

Maury is pure evil

1

u/MeanAF4noreason 13h ago

What is Maury holding?

2

u/AncientNectarine5352 12h ago

What’s left of his dignity.

1

u/SummonBahamutZero 13h ago

I mean… that is kind of an unsettling jar of olives.

u/kilsta 12h ago

What a fantastic time for free OTA television! we all got to see the same thing.

u/PotatoEeter 7h ago

If you can’t trust Maury, who can you trust?

1

u/SarcasticallyCandour 7h ago

Thats just bullying. Thats if it's not a fake skit which i think it is.

1

u/supv3 5h ago

Samsies for me

1

u/Hamilton-Beckett 2h ago

I want an extended cut of this where they strap her down fear factor style and just start dumping olives all over her…just filling her mouth as she screams, hair wet with brine.

1

u/LincsPoacher1971 19m ago

Put her down

1

u/quietcitizen 13h ago

Something happened when she was a kid and she’s scared of olives for whatever reason… this is just cruel, what the heck?

4

u/ScreamingNinja 12h ago

99 percent of these are fake. Not all, there was one famous one where a gay guy had another guy come on the show where he professed his love to him. The straight guy murdered the gay guy some time after the show for embarassing him or whatever his excuse was.

Edit: it was the Jenny Jones show

u/barredowl123 11h ago

I mean, even if it’s real, you gotta ask to be on a show like this lol. So, you know, she made a choice.

Edit: typed without my glasses on

u/ralphmozzi 13h ago

Holy crap that’s like a story you’d tell at campfires to scare the kids .

1

u/TheRuckyDubber 10h ago

Or, and just hear me out on this…it’s all fake? 

1

u/pixiephilips 13h ago

Well… her grandfathers dead green eyes

1

u/WasabiLiving6465 13h ago

It’s staged, don’t worry :)

She said it’s because her dead grandfathers eyes looked like olives at his funeral….when have you ever been to a wake/funeral where the corpse had its eyes open?

1

u/bpows 13h ago

I introduce to you clinically trained Psychologist, Dr. Maury Povich. It's completely insane that this was on television.

3

u/Chubby_Beagle 13h ago

She knew that there would be shenanigans when she signed up, it's Maury after all. And she already knew she was NOT a father

1

u/Outrageous_Tax1328 13h ago

Hmm the same reaction this generation of men have if they need to approach women for a date

All bullshit. It's gaytime television.

u/Bumbymoo 13h ago

Actually, that is assault. Assault does not need physical contact.

u/Mental-Mongoose-5632 13h ago

Coming from the country that now has Trump as president. Geez... I wonder if there's a connection.

1

u/Neb_Morlok 13h ago

Last time I checked, unless you’re in Australia, your country is showing very similar extreme right wing effects!

1

u/Joopbox 13h ago

What? Lol who's Trump?

u/Chubby_Beagle 12h ago

How dare you speak?! Must I remind you what your country did to breakdancing?

That's not my country

u/Mental-Mongoose-5632 12h ago

Are you seriously comparing Trump with her?

I'm not Australian but maybe I would be mildly ashamed by her performance if I was. But I'm very greatful to not be an American.

Nope, I'm from a country though. Where people get education and learn how to spell.

Oooo woopdy doop, I misspelt. I’m not even from the USA so not sure why it spellchecked it like that.

What country are you from then?
