Underrated comment!😂
You're a monster!
Buddy: Ey, I'm not the monsta here, I'm the Cake Boss! You're the monsta!
😂😂
Cake Boss is one of those shows that you enjoy as a kid, because you know, cakes and sugar and stuff. Then as you grow older, the more problematic you notice it to be. Mostly because of Buddy. I lost count how many times I felt sorry for his wife and kids to having to deal with Buddy and his family. They seem like... a lot, and not in a good way.
It's weird bc you see things like that & know some of it is fake; but still seeing *so* much footage, you wonder how much they're actually faking their personality.
That is a retarded statement. I like hamburgers. But I don’t watch slaughterhouse shows.
The funny part is that they made you believe it was a famous place before the show but the reality is hardly anyone knew of the place beforehand and since I lived not too far away from where the shop was my family had tried the place before and it was absolute trash and we even tried it after the show got famous to see if it changed (especially since many years went by and we lived across the country) and ordered stuff shipped and it was way too expensive and the quality seemed even worse than before.
Why I like duff better.
Well , he is Italian
I love how TLC made a whole show about straight couples who don't know bisexuals exist
Some of these men are bisexual. Some are on the DL.
I said to myself "there is no way this is a real show" nine times during this video only to be absolutely SHOCKED that it was in fact a real show
Omg it's JohneAwesome!
I now know where 90% of our (non-US) trash TV "comes from", and I honestly have to commend those godawful stations for actually toning it down compared to the originals.
Jimmy Amazing!
If a show doesn’t sound real, it’s on TLC
Damn I haven't seen you since the yo kai watch days. That has been quite a while, but I hope you keep up the good work even if I don't watch you anymore.
"i don't feel like i fit the mold of guys that are attracted to other men... other than my deep and abiding love of showtunes. and my attraction to males."
how is this not like a self aware joke, i have been wheeze laughing for 3 minutes at this singular line.
I know, the comedy beat he took made me wonder how much it was winking at the audience but a couple other commenters here are talking about the real destruction the show had on their families, so I can't interpret it that way,

That reminds me of an episode of The IT Crowd
@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426Yeah I’m willing to bet that, regardless of his actual preferences, he’s playing a role for the sake of the conceit.
Golden Gate funeral home (on Best Funeral Ever) was actually sued by 17 families for desecrating remains. They switched bodies at funerals, returned the wrong ashes, combined ashes into urns, spread ashes without the family's permission, filled an urn with pebbles, disposed of bodies without permission, and just generally taken awful care of the bodies. So, I can confidently say they actually did the WORST funerals ever
I was hoping crashing a go-kart powered casket was on that list. I genuinely would've laughed myself into a coma from sheer shock.
Like in 3rd rock from the sun when Dick just bitch slaps Dr Albright I think her name was in the pilot episode.
How can you tell wrong ashes

I went to buddy’s bakery in New Jersey in 2016. I stepped in. Everything looked both inedible, as well as it physically looked dry. I got a 6 pack of chocolate covered strawberries and had to throw them away because they were dry as sand. How on earth did he make a dry strawberry
😂
I've always hated how blatantly sexist Buddy is. Every time he has to make a cake for a woman, you'd see him have the interview about what they wanted on the cake (non specific, just general example, "My daughter likes dinosaurs, make my kid a cake with dinosaurs"), he'd immediately go "Eh, it's a woman! Woman, they likes the purses and shoes and make up, I go make a cake with a giant purse and glittery make up on it! They'll love it cus that's what woman want!" And then the client would see the cake and be like "wtf? I said dinosaurs?" and be upset and Buddy would be like "not my fault, it's woman, have to make what woman like and woman like purse, shoe, make up! I give you exactly what you want!" and ugh, obnoxious sexist ass.
Is he that blatant? Wow. That’s crazy.
I do not remember this, but I have no doubt it happened! That’s so awful. Buddy was my childhood :(
I've never realized this but of course I watched it in Hungarian, it's possible that they didn't translate that well.
@@Thor-Orion I recall specifically, it wasn't on Cake Boss, but one of the cooking cake competition shows, and the contest was to make a cake specifically for the one judge's birthday. I am blanking on her name, but she really liked ornate icing designs on cakes, and everyone was scrambling with what to come with for her (the winner (obviously not Buddy), btw, was the one who went "she likes ornate cakes, it doesn't have to look like a birthday cake, let's just make a pretty ornate cake"), but Buddy basically goes "Well, she's a woman, so let's just slap a designer purse on the top of this thing, she'll love that!"
@@zanakate7319 it was more a generic example rather than something that was on the show, but once I noticed his blatant casual sexism, I couldn't unnotice it and teenage (closeted ftm) me couldn't stand the guy. He would always take cakes for male clients or general mass celebrations seriously, but for any cakes for women or girls, if it wasn't something stereotypically girly, he'd just make it stereotypically girly anyway, client be damned
You forgot the show about adults adopting adults, which had one creep in it looking for adopting young pregnant women because he was attracted to them, and his wife went along with it. It was suddenly canceled a few episodes in and tlc deleted all videos related to it without any anouncement. There were rumours going around that the creep was being investigated for human trafficking, so...
It didn't even air a full season and I think it was actually aired on A&E and not TLC.
@@katelynbrown98 oh sorry, I assumed this had to have been a tlc show with how crazy and uncomfortable it was
@@finilain it was definitely bizarre. Made you question how things were legal.
@@finilain Lol don't worry about it, this indeed sounds like a TLC show. XD
Yeah that was a single episode and got immediately cancelled
They need a show called "my average addiction" and just follows a guy living his day ripping lines and doing whipits.
they can follow me around ripping my pen
And occasionally following folks who take smoke breaks. Not heavy over-the-top chainsmokers, just average people who have a mild nicotine dependency and need to burn a dart when things get too stressful.
My mom grew up near Amish Country in Lancaster, PA and one thing she told me was to not take pictures of them when we visited because it went against their religious beliefs. Now this makes me think that no actual Amish person would agree to be on camera if they don’t even want visitors to take pictures
Yeah it's seen as prideful within the Amish community to have pictures and videos taken of oneself. It's part of the reason it can be so hard to make documentaries showing the old order Amish directly. Sometimes they'll allow their voices to be recorded or be on video if their face isn't shown, but a practicing old order Amish person would not agree to be on a TLC style show for that reason (and I'm sure many others as well).
True Story, one of my best friends unknowingly took a few pictures of them and her camera opened up and the film rolled out. Was in the 80"s
It depends on the Amish. Different little communities have different rules but it seems common that they’re allowed to be in pictures and videos, they just can’t use them themselves.
honestly it's probably best not to take pictures of strangers in general lol
I think it depends on the Amish themselves. Every religion has their super strict practitioners and their more lax ones.
I saw a documentary about a community of Amish that weren't so strict. Yes, they still followed all of the traditions and went to church everyday, but because of the area they were settled on, they had to adapt. So this carpenter had a cell phone to keep in contact with his clients, this other guy who repaired carriages had woodworking machines, they had solar panels. The wife of the carpenter had an electric milling machine, an electric oven and even an old fashioned electric washing machine, which I think was the oldest appliance they had.
Someone needs to put TV Channels like *TLC, MTV, Animal Planet* and *The History Channel* in rehab because they are straight up Unrecognizable nowadays.
Damn, MTV back when it was free/cable here was fire. I remeber 1 week of autumn holidays where they legit just showed the South Park movie Monday-Friday at 10 p.m. 5 days straight. And it was glorious.

Having TLC rapidly covered and dissected is stressful.
And sometimes slightly nauseating
Yeah, when you put it all together like that, it’s like this isn’t healthy at all.
I honestly didn’t even know until like a year ago that “TLC” meant The Learning Channel. I thought they meant that everyone on the channel needed a little “TLC” (tender loving care) but they don’t.
Yep. My head canon was that TLC stood for tender loving care and they where trying to bring awareness around things in society that aren't common in general society.
How naive I am.
In latin america they called Travel and Living Chanel 😅
My paternal grandmother was late to her own funeral because my maternal uncle (who was also her mortician) drove her old school bus run in honor of her.
That’s incredibly based. Respect.
so based
I'm partially convinced that someone on the executive board was just inserting their own disgusting fetishes into TLC's programming lineup. Especially with the family, dating, and medical shows.
Wouldn't be the first time, right Nickelodeon?
they have had a couple of shows about Fetish stuff. i wouldn't be surprised
So if somebody has a fetish then that's disgusting but the people who were on the show are being exploited? Or do you not care about those people you think all of them are disgusting?
@@MaxW-er1hmthey didn't mention a damn thing about the people being disgusting, only that the producers were.
@@phantom8926no, the person said their fetishes were. So if it's this imaginary producer, they're disgusting. But not if it's someone real on the show?
Original comment is so hateful and has zero basis.
My husband is not gay is particularly evil. As someone who grew up gay in mostly Mormon Utah county and hung out in a lot of queer chatrooms and spaces at the time (late 2000s early 2010s especially) I had to help talk someone down for the edge of completing suicide once or twice a month at least and wasn't always successful. The social pressures to conform and pretend to be straight there have a real human cost and covering people teeing themselves up for total crisis like it's a victorian freak show is so low and despicable I can't describe it.
I agree completely, I myself being pansexual. I grew up in a household of mostly southern conservatives and had to grow up knowing I wasn’t straight but being terrified into acting like I was. It was to the point I had basically internalized disgust at myself because I knew if my uncle learned I wasn’t straight he would physically beat me, something he already did anyway (I didn’t act in like “a man” to him). The fact that that show existed should’ve gotten it taken off the air in the first place, purely based on the damage it did to non-heterosexuals in general. I can’t imagine the number of people who saw that show and were convinced to heavily dissociate from their sexuality and who they were.
@@tkdarkheart Knowing Southern households I'm sure they had quite a few cast iron pans around. I'm sure it was a very difficult situation for you to hide your attraction in such an environment.
I'm sorry to hear your stories, and while I'm aroace who just recently have started to be respected by my family... Do I remember how normal and accepted homophobia was in the 90s and 2000s. From overhearing one mother whispering loudly to the mother of a boy liking Barbies "what if he turns gay", and 5 years later a bully was allowed to use sex ed to talk proudly about how homophobic his father apparently was. The world has come a long way, but some places and/or people have a long way to go. I hope you both have better lives now ^^
And I agree, shows like that are extra evil. It humiliates people in front of people they are supposed to trust instead of giving them the support they need.

As someone whose family was traumatically torn apart because my Mormon mom tried to convince my dad that he’s not gay, “My Husband’s Not Gay” is a fucking heinous concept.
I fail to see how it wouldn't have happened anyway. Sorry.

@@idkwhattohaveasausername5828 it means that he's mentally ill for doing what he's doing and not just coming out and living with it

You’d be surprised how common it is to not have regular periods. Things like low weight/low body fat, PCOS, and others can cause people to go several months without having a period even if they are not pregnant. That’s just some people’s “normal.”
Esp in repressive families where they don't teach you about your body & it's a source of fear + shame.
I've also heard of people not gaining any visible or noticible weight! Many of the girls reported not having any symptoms of pregnancy or symptoms that could be explained in other ways. It really is crazy how the human body works.
For real, I have PCOS, haven't had a period in months (stopped counting after the first month passed).
there's also the fact that cryptid pregnancies are also a thing or symptoms from pregnancy (or baby kicks) can be brushed off as something else, some people may think that they aren't even fertile due to medical reasons, like PCOS!
@@mayaartsy9919The decades of medical professionals conflating "infertile" with "sterile" when talking to patients doesn't help with that at all. "Infertile" means low chance at conception, but the chance still exists. It's not the complete inability to have babies that a lot of people believe.
genuine question- what is this comment in response to? I don't remember him ever mentioning anything about periods or not having them
To add to this: I didn't have a period for _3 years_ due to both the stress of a very bad relationship & from the pain of my vertebrae disintegrating. Only after these both ended did I start again!
Jon and Kate Plus 8 was definitely a big show for TLC, but I'm kind of amazed at how brief the Duggars mention was when the entire network really blew up because of all the X Kids and Counting specials and show.
The Duggars need a video of their own, especially after all the SA, CSEM and the "Shiny Happy People" documentary came out.
There's A LOT to unpack there.
it’s really worth remembering that the guy responsible for making TLC into what it is, David Zaslav, is literally the guy who is destroying HBO/Max/what used to be Viacom right now
Watching milf manor with friends and beer was unquestionably the greatest bonding experience I’ve ever experienced. It was hilarious, it was god awful, it changed us.

It got hyped up and called disgusting and wrong. But in the end there was very little real sexual stuff or much romance, it was still quite a thing to watch haha
@@AdamOBrien29The dude eating out the mannequin made me question if I was allowed to see this on TV. There's no way you could make me practice oral on an object in front of my own mother 😬
TLC - trauma bonding friends together for life 😂
there's really good MILF Manor bingo on the web, its a great drinking game highly recommend
Toddlers & Tiaras is honestly just so sad to watch because you see these happy, care free girls, most of whom aren't any older than 4, slowly get beaten down by the world of pageants and their own mothers
Ok but why did I tear up a bit watching that casket go kart around the track?? It was weirdly beautiful to know that someone was so loved, their loved ones pretty much put on a circus with their rotting corpse just to have one last good memory with them. It was also really funny. I wish America wasn't so afraid of talking about the basic facts of life, like death, so we could have more fun, slightly morbid, but in the end kind of beautiful shows like that.
My mom grew up near Amish country in Pennsylvania and what should’ve immediately tipped people off that it isn’t real is Amish people don’t take photos of each other, let alone go on camera for TV. Like I once saw an actual Amish person interviewed on TV and he had his back to the camera
i always thought TLC stood for "tender loving care" when i was growing up because of how it focused on random families. 'the learning channel' makes even less sense
It made more sense in the 90s.

That one about gay Mormon dudes who won't acknowledge that they're gay isn't actually so weird. In one of my classes for my sociology bachelor's, we read a study from the 70s about men who were doing this same exact thing, telling the person running the study why they weren't gay for x reason even though they all slept with other men. The reasons ranged from "I love my wife and children," to "I am not promiscuous," to "Other people like and respect me," etc. The point of the study was about the power of stereotypes to inform our worldview, really fascinating stuff
This does sound fascinating. Could you tell me what that study is, if you remember it? Thx
Is it like, a mistranslation on the definition then? Cuz like, you can still be or not be all those things and still gay. Freddy Mercury loved his wife, was his best friend if I remember correctly.
@@Aughtel No, it's people being in denial about their sexual orientation.
@@jonathangrafton4016 it must be hard living like that
@@Aughtel Yeah, it sure fucking is.
33:49 I just love this. Just today I took part in an emergency operation where the patient unfortunately regained conciousness during the procedure. It happens far more often than people think... and it's far more terrifying than what's shown there. Patients don't wake up, screaming like crazy and pushing up their limbs. Instead their eyes open extremely slowly, while they begin to make extremely unusual and loud moaning sounds. Their eyes usually don't open past 50% but you still see the extreme shock and fear slowly creeping up on the patient, who's heart will then rapidly increase its BPM by about 300% (from a usual 60BPM during unconciousness to 180-200BPM in less than 3 seconds); the monitoring turns crazy with alarms and loud pulse noises while the doctors rapidly communicate about pot. ramifications while simultaniously trying to seal or reopen potential vessels to quickly inject more narcotics - meanwhile many nurses talk to the patient, trying to calm him/her, often by softly touching or patting the patient, which often means that the procedure is no longer sterile but contaminated, while other nurses quickly try to assamble needed material that wasn't prepared before, etc..... It's freaking awfull.
But luckily, the patient won't remember any of it (if the doc. isn't a complete asshole that's stuck in the 80's and believes that benzos could 'cause a pot. fatal OD... which is utter horseshit ofc). In such an event the patient will recieve a very high dosage of Midazolam (essentially an intended overdose), so that any memory of the past ~30-60min is completely gone. That's why there are extremely rare cases of people actually reporting that they've woken up during a procedure. It may have happened, but you just can't remember it... and you won't be told either (unless there's incompetent staff) to avoid any traumatization, as being told can actually have the effects of certain neuro-links rebuilding and therefore increasing the chance that some snippets of memory may develop.
Great info, thanks. I woke up during a 4 hour long surgery. I remember all of it. This was in 96 or so. I remember waving my arms and trying to pull my head up to sit up. I remember the people in the room yelling, someone yelling "knock her out!", and hands on my shoulders pulling me down, hands on the leg that wasn't being operated on. Then I was out again. I remember being very scared. The staff there wasn't very nice, and my Dr was a jerk. But many years later when I needed other surgeries the staff was amazing. So there's that.
I'm old enough to remember when TLC used to actually educate or inform. DIYs, ERs, Birthing Story, Interior Design Renovations, etc. It is so gross now, exploiting poverty, women and children.
So the my obsession episode 'I'm a living doll' was full blown fake. She was actually just a Lolita that just wanted to get the fashion on national television to hopefully get more people into it. But they purposely edited her to sound as creepy as possible. Not to mention the what not to wear episode that completely shat on the fashion because their victim didn't have a full coord (coordinated outfit) yet.
And there are so many of these episodes.
Like Venus Angelic for example. She was heavily abused by her mother. In one episode she speaks to her family. In Swiss German or German and it's absolutely heartbreaking to hear what they actually say
@@alias704What did they say?
Venus story simultaneously fascinates me and breaks my heart. I was never a regular viewer, but she was all over YT and stuff for as long as I can remember, so I've seen her throughout the different stages of her career. It was incredibly shocking when she escaped her mom and everything came out. But maybe it wasn't? Maybe if more of us knew what was said, we might have seen it coming?
@@gypsywoman9140 The mother just sounded very fake.
And when you hear the phone calls that she had with her grandma it's even more obvious
I love lolita fashion so this is just tragic :(
Thats fucked up!
"Imagine your job coercing you to make major life decisions like this."
Billiam hasn't heard the story of the studio trying to force Adam West's Robin to chemically castrate himself cause his bulge was too big on camera and got the religious angry. And that the only reason it didn't happen was because Adam West raised hell.
Burt Ward
Adam West also used to like to ejaculate on people as an "autograph" kind of an odd guy
Adam West literally being Defender Batman archetype. Love to hear that part of the story.
He was too much of a natural chad and they couldn’t handle it
Adam West was literally the Batman we needed and that will never be forgotten.
About the cake thing, decorative cakes are usually MEANT to be little to no actual cake. Wedding cakes are also usually fake or mostly fake and they have just a small section of real cake. Then guests are served sheet cake
i was on a tlc show as a kid! my family had an episode on The Baby Story for my little sisters birth. tbh i dont remember much of the filming, so i couldnt say what the crew was like, but i had fun! my dad was a little annoyed because they selected specific clips and editted in a way that made him look a certain way, but other than that everyone in my family is pretty happy about it.
What season and episode?
season 9 episode 18 :) i was the younger daughter (ive since transitioned to male)@@IWasHereThird
the whole honey booboo thing is heartbreaking that it deserves its own separate ice berg at this point - anna is seriously ill and mama june is using that for sympathy, whilst she’s trying to make her other kids look bad for not wanting to talk to her 😭
I was wondering what you meant by seriously ill and made me look it up.
Stage IV adrenal carcinoma. I thought you meant she was mentally ill but you really undersold it. New updates came out, she seems to be terminally ill 😢
Yeah Anna died
Oh wow. She died in December 😔
The way TLC has facilitated or at least sensationalized and funded SO much CSA is horrifying. I’m shocked that this track record hasn’t lead to any kind of shutdown or at least loss of viewers and complete bankruptcy.
Goes to show how depraved society is. Also shows that the executives may be involved to some degree.
@@phantom8926it is more like they know it makes vids like this made by Billiam which gives more attention to them.
My mom used to be a professional cake decorator and Baker and she also used fondant. But she always used it very thinly on her cakes and it tasted amazing! She disliked the rice crispy stuff and was always so annoyed they used super thick fondant because that's really amateur...
She still bakes privately for us without the fondant and it's great.
it's really notable to me how much TLC appears to specifically prey on people from religious fundamentalist backgrounds or communities. I wonder how that happened
32:27 these are known as "cryptic pregnancies" and yes, it's possible for a mother to not know she's pregnant due to already existing factors in their physiology. even baby kicks can be interpreted as something else, like an already-existing ulcer.
One of my friend didnt know until the doctor told her 6hr before going in labor
Yep, had one of these happen in a dorm hall i was staying in during school. It was wild.
Thanks. Usually Billiam is good with this stuff, glad to see it corrected.
I think the subpar sex education in public schools across the US can also contribute to young individuals literally not realizing even if the pregnancy isn't necessarily cryptic. As someone who received abstinence only education, teaching yourself a vast amount of information as a teen and delving through medical language can be completely out of reach for some folks.
A girl I went to school with was born this way, her mum didn't show at all too so she had no idea until she was literally giving birth...
The funeral show sounds pretty nice tbh, I think people deserve the chance to commemorate their dead however they'd like, even if it seems strange
The best one by far of the whole lineup (just judging by this video).
It really is one of the nicer sounding shows, though I bet they tried to make the families look like they were a little cRaZy and WhAcKy
There's a wholesome gorgeous (fictional) 90s Japanese film called "After Life" where there's an organization recreating the UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS of the lives of the (presumably) deceased thru film/practical FX. The movie's deliberately ambiguous for much of it & open to interpretation, but if you want wholesome meditations on life + death + art + love, with funny + touching scenes amongst darker stuff, & you can tolerate slower movies with ambiguities & subtitles (unless you know Japanese), try that little film. It may not be for everyone but it came back vividly to me during that segment & I'm convinced people drawn to that could enjoy After Life.
agreed with the OP here - the funeral show was kinda wholesome tbh.
I remembered this Ask A Mortician episode where she and a black professor talked about a viral funeral where a deceased rapper is placed standing on the stage Because he's a rapper, not religious, his parents want to respect his identity. Also added context that he died from being shot, and his mother putting him on the stage platform saying "You will not look down at my son (from a coffin)". That's hella powerful.
It was only covered briefly, buy I feel the need to point out that Welcome to Plathville is - in my opinion, at least - the clearest depiction of what it is like to come to grips with having a narcissistic parent. Kim plays favorites among her children, takes her own trauma out on everyone around her, and never takes accountability for her own actions. The Plath children are pretty amazing, in that they were kept isolated from the wider world for most of their lives, but continually push at boundaries as soon as they are old enough, when staying in what they know would be the easiest course of action. It gets messy sometimes, yes, but that's what healing looks like for many - one step forward, two steps back.
When Ethan tried a coke for the first time! Wow.
Robert, the guy who blends all his food, was also a contestant on 60 Days In, volunteering to spend two months in prison because he swears inmate have it too easy, and that it would be like a resort vacation for him. he was the villain of that season, and sent to solitary confinement on his first or second day in for breaking the most basic of rules to try and win the inmates' favor after one of them threatened to beat him
Was kinda hoping with the 1000lbs sisters, he'd go into their history of being scammers. It'd really drive home how "real and honest" these shows can be

Same with Alaskan Bush People, Mama June & Sister Wives! Kate Plus Eight, Kate stole millions from her kids. She had Collin institutionalized where John & their families couldn't find him!! He had nobody to help him. She didn't even go see Collin who was underage. Kate wouldn't let him see his siblings!! Luckily John found him. Then she robs two of her kids college funds & earnings from the show. Court orders says she can't use that money she still hasn't paid it back.

Can confirm TLC is terrible . I have a friend who was on one of the medical shows and not only did the company treat her and her family like shit, cause so much family drama and trap her into doing more episodes, but the doctor she dealt with was one of the worst humans she’s ever met.
Ugh, sorry that you went thru that...like being in crisis isn't already hard enough. I hope you're well & your family + you rebounded.
I'm chronically ill & it took a long time to find a good doctor who listened, & to build that relationship over time.
That part go the iceberg, I was trying to imagine my physician participating in a reality show, trying to do thought experiments over what conditions he'd need in place to agree to it; made me realize he would never & neither would any decent doctor I trust + respect. Maybe he'd do educational videos for other physicians, or for laypeople on certain topics, but never a reality show. I think that in hindsight that may be a thought experiment I do with the rest of my medical team, bc I often second-guess my reactions to doctors & stay until they really get out of pocket. Thanks, I think you maybe just gave me a great illness management tool!
Wishing you well for the rest of your time!
I hope your friend and the poster above me will be okay some day. I'm facing my own health issues and I feel for anyone who has chronic health issues that interfere greatly in their lives. And I know how hard it is to find a good doctor that doesn't blow you off or demean you. Bad doctors can really mess things up and make everything worse.
Not surprised
The same thing happened to little people big world, the producer had a relationship with the youngest minor of the family and they are still filming that show. All but one of their kids have left the show for good reason
you know tlc wouldn't have my husband's not gay as a show if people understood the concept of bisexuality/pansexuality/omnisexuality
Absolutely agree. The fact that a MLM is a punchline is pretty fucking gross.
I think there's something to be said about the way Honey Boo Boo was treated back when she was popular. Like I don't what she's doing NOW, but she was just a kid at the height of her popularity. People really went in on her for no reason other than the fact that the show was cringe and weird. But obviously she's not at fault for any of that. I have a feeling that the fact she was fat had a lot to do with it as well.
Classism exists too.
I never ever once watched an episode but I know all about it & honestly I feel bad for honey..she didn't ask for the fame & people can be so cruel with words like saying she's fat or not fit for tv thats just some examples...her mom was the one to exploit her & the family & also went through a very bad addiction behind the scenes blowing millions on drugs. We didn't get to see it....well than again we did get to see it but it wasn't talked about & kept hidden.. I guarantee that honey & the rest of the family saw it & lived it as honey was only a child. Also a few years ago I believe in 2017 the oldest daughter sued mama June & honeybooboo LLC for non payments from being on the show.. having that show & being on TLC tore apart the family including divorce. It was announced a few days ago the oldest daughter Anna has stage 4 cancer. May she live whatever life she has left peacefully & I just hope honey can somewhat live a "normal" life of a teenager & enjoy her college years. The best of luck to her!
Most of what I saw was grown adults calling a child fat and stupid. People LOVED making fun of her for her weight especially because she was a girl, even using the fact they weren’t attracted to her or wouldn’t try to sleep with her as an insult. She was like fully a pre-pubescent child. Barf.
She graduated high school and is about to start college, but she’s dating a guy like 5 years older than her and they started dating when she was 15. He recently got arrested for trying to flee the police with her in the car, and when her fans showed concern for her, her and her sister were rude and told them off/were cursing everyone out. The show they’re on now is incredibly staged/fake and they act like they estranged from her mom when in reality they’re on tiktok lives together all the time
@@rayraeofficial793her name is Alana, and she's come out within the last few years asking people to use it
I hate the victim blaming conversation that ultimately leads to "they signed up for it"
I think it depends on the situation if something happens that's out of the cast members control like harassment or child abuse I agree that using the "they signed up for it" excuse would be blaming the victim but if it's something else like a couple getting divorced over the extra stress of being on TV that would be on them.

@@julieleimkuehler1409 Pfff, millenials/their offsprings and responsibility, funny
These shows are reflecting these people's assertions and private lives, if that's how they feel and that's what they think and then the show shows it how is that the show's fault?
18:52 "i'm about to demonstrate how to kill my- I'm about to demonstrate how to go to sleep. Forever." that part was the best 😂
i gotta say i was a huge fan of Cake Boss as a kid and i ate at one of the stores in New York and it was very underwhelming, didn't taste like much of anything
Just wanted to let anyone curious know, that it's absolutely possible to get pregnant without noticing. Some women experience irregularities in their periods for a variety of medical reasons and it can lead to pregnancies being discovered quite late, especially if they did not expect to be fertile because of those irregularities. And even though cases where they do not discover their pregnancy until the day of delivery are indeed quite rare and were most likely faked for the show, even that can happen.
Thank you.
I'm so glad someone already said it ❤
On the one hand of course it can happen on the other hand if you make it to eight or nine months and don't notice that's kind of odd
A girl I graduated high school with had something like this happen to her. She was having terrible stomach pains and went to the hospital. Turns out she was 9 months pregnant and gave birth. She had no idea she was pregnant. So crazy.
Look up "cryptic pregnancy" CZcams has a video of a woman who had one and you could not see her pregnancy even when she was like shortly before giving birth. And she was quite thin - it's more usual in overweight women
untold stories of the ER is a huge guilty pleasure of mine.
i prefer when they’re actually talking seriously about the medical topics instead of focusing the cartoonish stuff
Honestly and I'm not sure if this is a hot take but I feel Untold Stories of the ER and Dr. Pimple Popper are the least controversial shows on TLC
again, part of me wonders if one or more of the executives was just trying to insert their own fetishes into the programming block. wouldn't be the first time that kinda thing happened (Nickelodeon anyone?)
@@captaintalon4485yeah the pimple popper is just kinda gross but it’s. You know. It’s fine.
That show literally put me on edge SO severely. I really should not have watched it as a kid.

I loved All-American Muslim. Compared to all the destructive crap they tolerated on that network, it was actually useful in dispelling misconceptions at a very tense time in this nation.
I will always remember how everybody supported Rose more than Ed and cheered when she managed to get out of poverty. She definitely is a success story that came out of TLC.
I worked at TLC right out of college in 2008-2010 and I remember the exact moment I was told by my boss that I had to remove “the learning channel” from everywhere in my presentation because “it’s just TLC now”
When john and Kate broke up we had a fully funded corporate party to celebrate the ratings 💀
(Catered by cake boss I shit you not)
That’s WILD! Damnn… that’s fucking crazy, bro.
I’m so glad someone’s finally speaking the truth about fondant cakes
THAT PART!! I remember the first time I tried it soo gross lol
19:00 I have no idea how much of it was real, but she seemed very much like Racist Mommy bc of an ep. where she got angry at the Spanish-speaking contestants for… speaking Spanish. Because she doesn’t speak Spanish. It had massively “you’re in America so speak american” undertones :(
I'm glad someone else understands why Sonic the Drive In and Sonic the Hedgehog should collaborate. Chili dogs are literally both Sonics' top foods
I remember catching this one episode of Toddlers and Tiaras where a girl (might’ve been Honey Boo Boo) runs away crying from the cameras looking for her dad. That was the last time TLC was ever in any TV in my house ngl.
man. the way people talk about honey booboo's body has always been so awful. poor little girl got bullied by the world for her weight.
Not gonna lie, I was flattered when my boys were telling me that I was the “prettiest Mom of all their friends”. But I would never wanna act in a sexual manner in front of them. That’s not only inappropriate but also deranged. We & some of their friends were at a family party & caught me dancing then said “Wow ur Mom got some moves!” Tho they meant it as a compliment, I was mortified.
That dude that only drank blended/liquid foods, was on another show years later called 60 days in. Where civilians pretend to be inmates in jail, while he was an absolute nut case he never requested liquid foods 🤨
Only drinking liquids/blended foods sounds like an unhealthy relationship with food or possibly an ED. As someone myself who used to eat clean 100% gmo free no frozen or canned food , I got some help and started eating semi regularly again. So I don’t think it’s that odd imo
Fundie Fridays is a really good channel that covers a lot of fundamentalist and evangelical Christian stuff that gets aired on TLC and way more, their videos on tlc shows and the plathville videos especially are heartbreaking.

and the spin off Gypsy Sisters, that got canceled because one of the husbands ran over his wife's dog with his car when they had a fight.

The medical re-enactment/pregnancy re-enactment shows are honestly the only things of value on TLC. They technically fit the learning channel's old theme. Like sure they're re-enactments, but they are real stories and you do have it explained how these things can happen.
Does TLC still make those shows?
@@Star-dj1kw I think so? I feel like there's constantly new episodes of I didn't know I was pregnant.
So for my final project in one of my college classes, we had to write a paper on a subculture, and then we picked a question based on that subculture. I chose reality tv and specifically how does tlc treat their child ‘actors’ and it’s genuinely atrocious. From Kate plus eight (formerly Kate and Jon plus eight) ignoring a court order to not film the children, to the genuinely heart breaking reality of nineteen kids and counting, they do not give a fuck about those children in the slightest. Thanks for filling me in on the other stuff I didn’t have time to look into.
Also, as a side note, polyamory and polygamy are different. Polygamy is one person having multiple partners, polyamory is more of a web, or it can be.
Also also, Tammy and Amy also started on CZcams!
How did your final project turn out?
@@bradwolf07 good, got an A. But it also made me hate tlc a lot more. Like for example the kids aren’t actually considered as actors, so they don’t have to legally pay them anything.

When I came out as transgender, my mother used "I am Jazz" as an example to tell me I couldn't possibly be a trans woman, because she believes that if I actually were everyone would have realized it when I was still a child.
Im so sorry. I can't help but think that was not what jazz was going for with her show :/
My dad lived in San Diego before he adopted me and he actually went to college with Big Ed. My older sister even had dance classes with his daughter. When the show came out he told me that Ed was a lot more together before his divorce. Makes sense but at a certain point I stop feeling bad for him and more for the people around him.
My dad used to watch Toddlers and Taira’s because it ‘made him feel like a better parent in comparison’ which still makes me feel weird
Gotta have that validation
Sounds like why I watch Hoarders…
I fully thought the name of the channel being TLC was a joke about being how TLC means Tender Love & Care and because the channel is all about arguing and toxic behaviour they called it that to be ironic
One of the producers of return to Amish has also been accused of physical/sexual abuse and misleading cast members by stating they would be given resources they never received. I know some of the former cast members.
any kid who grew up around this channel (cause i hope to god they werent actively watching 99% of this and it was just on in the living room) absolutely grew up to have a very particular set of interests as an adult
I used to watch shows like Kate Plus 8 and 19 Kids and Counting when I was a kid. I was an only child so watching stuff about families with lots of kids seemed fun to me.
I used to watch the Asian branch of TLC and it was pretty chill ngl. Lots of South East Asian travel and food programs, loved watching those after school.
You can say that about anything though
my sisters and i watched a lot of the “ documentaries “ they had of people born with various rare medical conditions. they felt more positive or insightful than entertaining
Story of my life, as a kid I would always catch one of my relatives watching stuff like Kate Plus 8, Cake Boss, and 7 Little Johnstons just to name a few. Today they are an active watcher of 90 day fiancé so I always see what's going on with that show lol

this video reviewing all these shows was already overwhelming....thanks for making it...because I think this is probably as much as I can handle of all of them
I could never bring myself to watch more than an episode of those shows. The exploitation was just so palpable. Great video!
Fun fact: the extreme time savers guy at 41:24 is also in season 1 of 60 Days In, the show where they drop 8 "random" people into a jail for 60 days. That show may be worth an entire video on its own
Gah, shows about things like prison or crimes like ab bootleggers make me just question the whole thing. There's no reason to believe them. It's bizarre how popular shows like Alaskan Bush People and Sister Wives are on TikTok. Like why do people care about strangers so much. It's bizarre.

I used to do a lot of Production Assistant work for the studio that filmed cake boss. They were connected to the actual bakery in Jersey City. I knew so many people that were exhausted with how Buddy Valastro acted on set. I was hired to work on the set of Buddy vs Duff as a PA. I had to meet with Buddy every morning and escort him into the studio. The amount of times he was late was staggering. There was one day where he threw a tantrum on set and the next day didn't arrive until 6 hours after his call time. It was one of the worst shows I've had to work on. Not to mention cleaning up hundreds of pounds of cake that was inedible and all thrown into the dumpster, it was so wasteful and pointless.

So, to be fair about the "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" show, there are a lot of factors that can contribute to a person who can become pregnant not realizing that they are. For one, it's actually pretty normal to experience light bleeding and cramping within the first couple weeks of pregnancy (as I believe this is when the semen fertilize the egg) and someone who might be used to having lighter periods can assume this is happening as usual.
For another, some people will miss one or two periods and then get one out of the blue (although this is usually due to a medical issue such as Endometriosis or PCOS) that could contribute to a person not realizing they're pregnant. Also, there are certain forms of birth control out there, the Depo shot and IUDs, that will completely eliminate periods after being on them for a certain amount of time (I've heard between 3 to 5 months depending on the person and how their body reacts to that form of birth control), and if one of your shots or IUDs is expired (which is something your doctor or pharmacist needs to look out for-- this is my own personal opinion as when I was on the Depo shot in my 20s, I would have to drive out to my doctor's office every month and one of the nurses or my doctor herself would inject it, and one of the months I was supposed to get it, one of the nurses rang me up to inform me that the shot they had been sent was already expired and they had to order a brand new supply and I would have to reschedule my appointment as a result; although I believe now it might be more on the patient to check the expiration date as at-home birth control services such as Nurx will send the Depo shot to your house so you can inject it yourself), so if you received the shot but it was expired or your IUD was knocked out of place, that will cause the method to not be as effective, and you have sex and become pregnant, you're not going to be aware of it if you didn't know the shot was expired or the IUD was not in place. In fact, one of the IDKIWP stories _was_ about a woman being on the shot, already used to not having a period, and when she went to receive the shot, it was expired and neither she nor her doctor or doctor's nurses were aware of this, and she became pregnant. And this is not even to mention the pill and patch forms of birth control. If you don't take your pill at the exact same time every day, you could become pregnant. If you miss one or more pills, you could become pregnant. If the patch comes off, you could become pregnant. Also, the pill and patch are not as effective as the shot and IUDs. If used correctly, the pill has like a 93% - 98% effectiveness rate (the patch I think is about the same, if not a slightly lower percentage). But the Depo shot and IUDs like Mirena, Skyla, or Liletta are over 99% effective - you just have to watch out for the medicine in the shot expiring, and with the IUD, "floating" or it moving around will impair it's effectiveness and also possibly cause bodily harm if it gets stuck somewhere.
Also, many symptoms of early pregnancy mimic period symptoms (or vice versa). Weight gain, enlarged/tender breasts, nausea (and yes, some people that have periods, will have such intense nausea that they will throw up even though they are not pregnant-- and "Morning Sickness" is not exclusive to just the morning, it can be an all day thing for some people), fatigue, mood swings, etc are all common symptoms of early pregnancy as well as periods, so if you're dealing with all of that and a light bleeder or think you're having a "light" period, you might assume nothing's wrong. On top of that, there's also the phenomenon of Phantom Periods that can be experienced by anyone where people will experience the symptoms of a period but without the menstruation/bleeding part which is fucking wild!
Oh, and let's also not forget that at-home pregnancy tests are not the most accurate thing in the world! If you take one when it's "too early", you can get a false reading. If you take one first thing in the morning, that can affect the reading too. (In fact, the instructions suggest that you have to... well, "relieve" yourself a bit and _then_ administer the test as the hormones that initially come out are not the ones you want and it's best to wait a little otherwise, once again, false reading.) The best way to get the most accurate result is via a blood test at your doctor's office or local Planned Parenthood. Unfortunately because "we live in a society", many people do not have the transportation to drive to their doctor's office or Planned Parenthood, and of course, doctor's offices love to bill you for every little thing (they charge for the i office visit itself, they will charge you to run tests, they will charge you for equipment used) - even if you _do_ have insurance and copays, depending on what state you live in and what kind of insurance you have, some insurance companies will not cover the expenses of a test or procedure that you need if they deem it "un-beneficial" to _them._ (ie if they don't believe _they_ will make a decent profit/return on the test or procedure you're looking to get, they will deny it, and you will either have to appeal it and get it re-evaluated or pay out of pocket) Going to Planned Parenthood to do a pregnancy screening is considered an "affordable" alternative, though they don't mention just _how_ much more affordable they are than heading to your doctor's office, but even then a similar situation may arise where if you do not have or cannot afford transportation to your doctor's office, you might not be able to afford transportation to a Planned Parenthood to get a pregnancy blood test which, again, tend to be more accurate than the $8 - $9 at-home tests but could be more costly. And that's if the person's state hasn't completely defunded and made their Planned Parenthoods illegal, so you would have to go out of state, or pray that you did the at-home test correctly and won't have to be victim to fear-mongering scare tactics from your state's physician pressuring you to keep an unwanted pregnancy, or godforbid, you wind up at a "Pregnancy Crisis Center" which present themselves as an equivalent to Planned Parenthood, except that they will hold you hostage and subject you to traumatic footage of A-words "gone wrong" and refuse to let you leave unless you agree to keep the unwanted pregnancy. (And yes, they do sound completely made up, but I can assure you that in an overturned Roe v. Wade world where the government as legal access to the information you put into period tracker apps so they could prosecute you if they "find evidence" that you may have had a certain medical procedure done and throw you in jail... these places _DO_ exist and function this way!)
Just some of the weird and exhausting ways our bodies function that lots of people have to keep track of and educate ourselves on. :upside_down_face:
Thank you for this incredibly thorough, informative, and helpful response! So much of information surrounding pregnancy (and the reproductive organs associated with pregnancy and birth in general) are often made inaccessible or not explained well by doctors who are not informed on the many different forms of birth control/hormone regulation etc. I learned so much just reading this and will definitely be able to address my doctor with better more informed questions next visit. From a woman whose educators and physicians failed to explain anything but abstinence, I cannot articulate how important it is for everyone to be informed on your options and rights and control over your own body. Thank you again !!

I'm one of the people that experiences super bad nausea before my period. When it first started I was sure I was pregnant, but after seeing that it repeated itself for a few months I figured out it's just my new 'normal' (pretty sure it's not normal, but i have some past bad experiences with ob/gyns so a bit scared to go to the doctor). I started following a 'cycle-synced' diet and it seems to have helped, as this month I haven't experienced it, but buddy boy, if I'm ever pregnant unexpectedly I might not suspect anything at first because of how used I've gotten to this nausea.

I liked when "reality TV" was just documenting what happened with nothing fake. For example, there was an episode of "COPS" in my hometown in the early 2000s. All that happened the entire night was an owl flew down a woman's chimney into her living room, and the cop had to scare the owl out of her house. Yup. That's reality.
