Dr. Phil Lays the Smackdown

91. Why does the director of Bum Fights have his head shaved bald like Dr Phil?

I know for a fact that guy isn't really bald...he's a young guy...something isn't right here.

This is def a publicity stunt by Dr Phil

92. dr. phil has had much worse people on. not defending the bumfights guy, but dr. phil was pissed that the guy came out dressed and looking like dr. phil. tmz, why not report on dr. phil's daughter-in-law, the internet porn queen??

93. So many call Robin fake or a Stepford wife.......look at Katie Holmes, THEN tell me what a Stepford wife is. As soon as she got with Tom Crazy she hasn't mumbled a full sentence. I think this Beeson guy is an ass and how in the world can he say "bumfights" HELP people? That would have been good for a laugh. He's a cruel, sick person and they should have arrested him (like they did the Girls Gone Wild guy) for accomplice to assault and/or negligent homicide. Not afraid to kick the sh*t out of a defenseless homeless person in a box, but I didn't see him taking any swings at Dr. Phil.

94. Dr. Phill sucks, again people all main stream television sucks. Is it reality yes, these people are ratings whores, media whores, money whores.

95. I am not a fan of Dr. Phil but I am now! Homeless people are human too not trash. It takes a sick person to be so cruel.

96. Dr. Phil is nothing more than a cult leader. He expects his audience to believe that in a fifteen minute segment, he cures people of problems they have had for years. He has his followers and that is scary. I am glad someone made him look like a fool.

Dr. Phil gives advice on weight loss, he's fat.

Dr. Phil gives advice on marriage. Funny, he divorced his much less attractive wife once his practice started becoming successful and married that fake woman that follows him around like a puppy.

Don't drink the Kool-aid people, that's all I can say!

97. Funny, but didn't he say he wasn't going to promote that crap? Funny but I never heard of it before I saw this video... If he actually did put that segment on air, with the part of the guy walking off and doing the face at the camera, then he just did promote the sh*t out of it. Funny how a guy who claims to the Dr. title is nothing but a guy who tell middle class people to stop f***ing whinning all the time and start doing something about their lives. The he has this nice little speech about how a video like Bum Fight is dispicable, yet he puts it on air, while doing a big deal to attrack media attention to it. He has become the next Springer (and judging by this clip even worse, at least we all knew that 90% of Springer was fake), hope Oprah kicks him out of the Hapro family before it's too late. Funny thing about a guy who tells people about their family values, yet his son snorts kilos of the white sh*t, his a self proclaimed "Help Guru" because he wrote a book that basically sais the same thing 10,000 books before his came out, they just didn't have the media coverage that dad as... Same goes to his messed up self-rithious wife, who's face looks more and more like a streched vagina, that put up druggies in a safe town and let sh*t out in the yard for day until cops had to come over and find the place just like a junkies house. Good going, nice family... They should be shot full of the "super Pill" the good Dr was pushing (class action suit against them for that too) and see what happens. Oprah should be f***ing ashamed of what she created and is letting go on air instead of pulling the plug.

100. Dr. Phil already knew what was on the tape. He brought the guy in just to throw him off just for attention.

101. I thought the whole thing was ridiculous. It's like Dr. Phil asked the guy to be on his show just to berate him and make himself seem like the better person. If your guest is so deplorable, why in the hell would you invite him on there anyway?

My friends are brainwashed by Dr Phil saw it and went "what a strong, good man"
I'm not buying it - it was merely a stunt.

102. Dr. Phil had not seen the videos until 10 minutes prior to airtime?? Give me a break!! Is the general population truly that stupid to believe this rating whore's fake tirade of indignation? Amazing I was on vacation this week and saw no less than 15 promo's for "bum fight" vs. Dr. Phil's "high moral ground" show. You bet, ego maniac Dr. Phil doesn't have a clue about his guests and their invlovement, his producers just "sneak "them on the show" as a surprise. "Offended", why would any semi-professional so activily promote a segment, if they truly found it "disgisting". And he never ran into the guy during hair and make up and the whole pre- tape process??? I have much more respecet for Jerry Springer, at least he is honest about his show and it's content, he doesn't deny that it is nothing more than hilbily entertainment for the trailor park mentality. Too bad Dr. Phil can't be that honest, too bad I don't know a cowboy metaphore so Dr. Phil could relate his blatant hypocrisy to his "credible" farse of a show.

103. Ok, are we really supposed to believe that Dr. Phil saw this footage for the first time on the show? You know he saw it before he brought his guest out. One of two things happened here. He either watched the footage before Beeson came out and saw a ratings opportunity to preach about how dispicable this man is and get applause from the audience, OR, he's a bigger idiot than he lets on!!! Why wouldn't he have viewed the tape before bringing this man on his show??? Come on Dr. Phil, give your viewers some credit here.

104. Dr.(?) Phil just got "out-schmucked". Does ANYONE believe for a minute Dr.(?) Phil didn't know what this guy was about? Dr.(?) Phil SURELY must meet all his guests ahead of time, like he didn't know. Now Dr.(?) Phil is trying to take the high-road? Perhaps he should have taken the high-road before he divorced his first wife for the "trophy wife" he now has. Has ANYONE thought about that???????

105. Let me get this straight. Dr. Phil is now the bad guy, and this amoral, horrendous bumfights guy is ergo, not so bad. Wrong, wrong, wrong. No wonder we need guys like Dr. Phil on the air. America's moral compass is circling the toilet. You can't tell the good guys from the bad anymore; the bad guys are selling you igloos in Florida and are winning. Scary and sad. Dr. Phil has done a service calling this "bumfights" thing out for what it is, and it must be because you all can't tell good from bad anymore, so someone has to. Girls gone wild, Joe Francis, bumfights; the lower you go and the more you blindly accept, the lower standards in society in general become. Dr. Phil is not perfect, nor has he ever said he was, but bumfights???Come on, people. It IS that simple. This doesn't mean I'll EVER drink the kool aid. Bitterness and pessimism about Dr. Phil, his show, and his relatives is not the final answer. You have to think further than that and decide who you'd feel safer with as a guest in your guest bedroom. I'd pick Dr. Phil and Robyn over bumfight guy any day, and that should tell you something.
