Dr. Phil Lays the Smackdown

61. I can't beleive you bits of sh-t actually side with the Bum guy! He mocks bums by having them get beaten up and beating up on each other. In that footage, they showed two kids beating up on an innocent homeless man. Have you forgotten, that we should expect others to treat us with respect not just because we are tax paying citizens! Because you have the ability to feel pain, nobody has the right to beat up on you. Okay, maybe you guys need a good beating. I'll volunteer.

62. Phil went over the top when he jumped all over the couple for not taking TWO herion addicts/whores into their home. The couple has a ten year old daughter. Its not like the 2 junkies are kids. They are 28 yrs old !!!
Why dont you and robin take them home Phil ? Maybe they could hook up with your son.
You sure showed your STUPID side.

64. Phil would be a nobody without the Big O giving him his show. And the guy was right he makes a living exploiting people on his show. Phil even set this up he knew in advance what he was going to say and do for the audience and make himself to look so honorable. Notice I do not call him Dr.

65. Dr Phil is an explotive hypocrite who BLOWS GOATS!!
What are his credentials anyways, and his son married some playmate!! His wife Robin seems nice enough but her face is turning into the likes of Michael Jackson, I hope her nose doesn't fall off. I think Dr. Phil should help us all and shove his bullshit t.v show out the window. I think Jerry Springer's show is much better than Dr. Phil's, atleast Jerry Springer has something helpful to say at the end of his show and not some hillbilly jargon that nobody can understand.

66. Dr. Phil has turned into the Jerry Springer of shrink shows. It's all about ratings and topping the last show idea. He's become a sideshow barker with a PhD. He's even started whoring out his family -- or they've started whoring out themselves. All of this, of course, is to be expected when you're one generation removed from white trash.

68. Why on earth was this scumbag booked in the first place? I was going to watch Dr. Phil that day , but after maybe 15 seconds I clicked off in horror when I realized what "bumfighting" was.

69. I don't agree with bumfights...but I think Beeson made a valid point.Dr. Phil is making money off others misfortunes. Take your practice private again Phil...or you are just profiting from your guests and propping yourself up to be morally superior. You should have canceled the airing of this episode if you really didn't want the 'bums' to be exploited even more!

70. oh, like Phil didn't know what this guest was about before he came on. Such an act.

71. PEOPLE REVEAL themselves...all you have to do is watch the segment where the guy molested his little daughter, and the new "backstage talk" that dr. phil features now...so bogus....he walks into a room, where unsuspecting workers are setting up... he turns to them ...GET OUT OF HERE.... what an arrogant mess he is...his son , little fat face piggy saunters around town here, like he actually did something in life, and the wife, well, how they are always chumming up with celebs now..."so and so is my good friend" bla bla bla....really hillbillies thats all they are , hillbillie lottery winners.......

72. two things: first of all it was hypocritical for Dr. Phil to even air the segment. secondly, bum fights is disgusting. i have watched a video and i was completely turned off. to be honest with you watching the DVD made me think less of the person who owned it. i can't believe anyone would think that is entertaining or funny. it really makes me wonder about society when this kind of material can earn someone millions of dollars. i've only read a few comments, most of which have jumped all over dr. phil. and that's fine. but this guy is sooooo much worse. on the show he claimed that he's "helping" the homeless. i will be willing to put my life on the line and say that he would not be doing this if he wasn't making money off of it. and that's the bottom line.

73. Right on #55!

I used to watch Dr. Phil in the beginning, but have long since stopped. I saw where it was going.

Dr. Phil pre-screens everybody. Are we really to believe that this guy got on with Dr. Phil having "no idea" what these videos were about (or having pre-viewed them)?! No! This was staged.

AND YET, if you go over to Dr. Phil's website and view all the comments for this episode on his message boards, all his adoriing sheeple fans are all agreeing, "yes, this is so gross" and "thank you Dr. Phil for kicking this guy off".

SAD TRUTH: Dr. Phil did this because he knows the vast majority, if not all, of his fans are too blinded, stupid or both to even see this for what it it.

With his show's episode maing TMZ and YouTube, he's basically given this guy more publicity than he could ever possibly buy.

Yes, Dr. Phil is a big a whore as they come.

74. ok, I normally dont like Dr. Phil, and I agree if he didnt want to publicize this, he should of completely edited out of his show.. but he did bring attention to something that I didnt realize, these videos. How someone can make money off this disgusts me, or worse, that people actually buy these videos. Its one thing if they want to make entertainment out of stupidy stunts, and do it to yourself, like jackass stars, but to use homeless people who already suffer enough and have hit their all time low is disgusting. The creator of those videos is NOT helping them buy "paying" them to do the things he wants them to do, he is taking advantage of their situation. There are so many other ways to do humour, and finding violence with homeless people shouldnt be one of them. With all that money he made off this, he could buy a homeless family a house to live in.

75. i really think Dr.Phil's an idiot..why did he have him on the show anyway?! more then likely, he did this for more ratings..just like he does all those other fucked up shows like that one where he had the pedophiliac brother who took a lie detector test and "proved" he touched his 4 y/o sister! Wtf!?
