They'll skip over half the competitors just to show us how poor and sick some athlete's mother is or whatever.
Sometimes you even miss the winner while the person they were talking about doesn't even medal!

- silisili 3y agoThat's pretty much why I don't watch AGT or anything of it's ilk. I really wish this trend would end already...
- apsurd 3y agoAlso shark tank. i joke with my brother: "here comes the pitch, product, gross sales, and btw i have cancer, my mom has cancer." It's a cold joke. My mom had cancer. It's not the having of cancer i'm annoyed of obviously. How in the hell is this relevant to... oh right. it's a fucking national televised show. It's competing with The Bachelorette. sigh. curmudgeons unite. i enjoyed your comment. feel seen!
- silisili 3y agoYes! I forgot about that one, one of the worst offenders. "Here is my new idea. It's a diaper for parakeets." "Why would anyone want that?" (crying) "Because, because, sorry guys. My mom passed this year and I promised myself I wouldn't cry. She just loved parakeets" "OK, here is a million dollars" The whole schtick is so ridiculous I find it pretty offensive.
