Funny / The Jerry Springer Show

Go To

The whole show is a riot, but here are some moments that really solidify the Jerry Springer Show as the Point-and-Laugh Show.


  • Every single time the audience chants.
JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!
  • In one of the show's many KKK moments, Jerry had the bright idea to invite some members of Jewish Defense League, an equally controversial political organization, onto to show to discuss their views with Jerry as the moderator. Immediately, things spiral out of control and a brawl ensues. The brawl soon turns into a Mêlée à Trois between the KKK, the JDL, Steve and the security guards and random audience members who want to join the carnage. Who could've seen that coming?
  • Speaking of the Klan, how about the aptly named Tales of the Midget Klan? Which features as one would expect, Midget Klan Members who immediately antagonize Jerry (calling him “Jerry The Jew”) and who Jerry calls “tricker-treaters” and “little kids”.
    • When Jerry calls them out on the absurdity of their beliefs, they respond with unsurprisingly more racism mixed with Insane Troll Logic. They also attempt to lynch Jerry. By handing him a noose.
  • The Kung-fu Hillbilly, who "mastered' Kung-fu by watching Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies.
  • The whole bit in the second Austin Powers movie, where Scott Evil appears on the show. His father, Dr. Evil shows up as a surprise, having escaped his self-inflicted cryogenic freezing again. This results in him denigrating Scott as being "not evil enough". Then a Klansman calls Scott a "freak", resulting in Doc Evil going Papa Wolf and starting your typical brawl, which has the Doc smashing a chair and snatching the Klansman's hood ("I gotcher hood! I gotcher hood!"). After Evil's calmed down by Jerry, Jerry promptly orders the crew, "Get this jerk outta here", at which point Evil assaults Jerry, and Jerry fights back, biting Doc Evil on the leg ("He's biting me! The little *bleep*er's biting me!"). And then Evil escapes Jerry and snatches a model globe from the set while ranting, "The world is mine! The world is mine, ya *bleep*ers!", and then, with apparent lack of any other idea, smashes it on the floor.
    • A deleted portion of that scene had Dr. Evil revealing bizarre facts about himself, such as the fact that "he invented finger quotes", and that he's the "Princess of Canada" (though he doesn't have papers to back up that fact).
