Five days since they had the show with a hermaphrodite, a floyd and a crack hoe.
Speaker A
Three days since we heard the tale about the guy who learned his woman was a she-male.
Speaker A
Yesterday, it occurred to me that I've been watching a bit too much Jerry Springer.
Speaker A
Holy cow, did you see it last week? Well, they had this one freak who sucker punched his whole family.
Speaker A
Do you recall when the brawl became a total free for all and Jerry stood in the middle trying to be the referee?
Speaker A
Hey, see the stripper with the implants? She likes to lap dance and date the boyfriend of her mother.
Speaker A
Now here comes Jerry's next guest and it's a slugfest 'cause it's a trailer trash brother.
Speaker A
If a maniac is back on crack, it's like when animals attack, they all exhibit reprehensible behavior.
Speaker A
They rip off their clothes, step on their toes, that's how it goes, they get so violent they have to sign a waiver.
Speaker A
They're always throwing curses and kicking butt and pointing blame.
Speaker A
On the air, they don't care, they got no shame.
Speaker A
There was one guy who I'm sure felt a little strange when he found out that his wife had a sex change.
Speaker A
They have a tendency to scream and yell constantly, they have a history of ripping off their shirts.
Speaker A
It's been one week since they had the fight with the Siamese twins and the transvestite. Five days since that awful brawl, they still haven't got the blood off the wall. It's been three days since the bitter feud between the KKK and that gay Jewish black dude.
Speaker A
Yesterday, it finally dawned on me, I've been spending way too much time on that Jerry Springer.
Speaker B
Baby, I'm gonna sleep with your sister.
Speaker C
Which one?
Speaker B
All of 'em.
Speaker C
Well, I've been sleeping with your best friend, Jake.
Speaker B
Oh yeah? Well, well me too.
Speaker B
And I've been sleeping with your dog, Wuffy.
Speaker C
Wuffy, you bitch!
Speaker C
Well, I'm also sleeping with your pet goat.
Speaker B
That goat doesn't love you.
Speaker A
Once you start watching, there's just no stopping, your brain shuts down then your IQ's dropping.
Speaker A
Jerry's the king of confrontation, he's a sensation, he puts some sick in syndication.
Speaker A
It's totally worthless, like a bad check, it's like a train wreck, don't wanna stop but you can't look away.
Speaker A
Like Sally Jesse, he does talk shows, but with more weirdos, the ratings jumping higher every day.
Speaker A
If you've seen the show, well then you know it's just as low as you can go, the guests are tacky and they're lacking in their hygiene.
Speaker A
And pretty soon some ugly goon runs in the room and then it's boom in the face of some unsuspecting drag queen.
Speaker A
Well, it's a game show where people scream obscenities, yankin' hair, throwing chairs at their hobbies.
Speaker A
Jerry, Jerry, now the crowd starts to chant, Jerry, Jerry, I turned off my TV, I just can't.
Speaker A
I have a tendency to watch it religiously, I have a history of taping each one.
Speaker A
It's been one week since the show about psycho killers with problems they should work out.
Speaker A
Five days since the big surprise when some loser's wife said that she's been laying twenty guys.
Speaker A
Three days since they interviewed a bunch of psychic whores, armatures who are all nude.
Speaker A
Yesterday, it occurred to me that I've been watching a bit too much Jerry Springer.
Speaker A
I've been wasting my time on that Jerry Springer.
Speaker A
I got way too much class to watch Jerry Springer.
Speaker A
Come over here and pull on my finger.
