This Week In F—k You: Oprah
05.25.11
We’re in the dreaded NFL offseason. There’s still no real football for months. You’re hurt. You’re angry. You’re hateful. We understand. At KSK, hating things is what we do best, which is why we have the recurring This Week In F–k You series, to soothe your white hot anger. This week: Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah Winfrey’s final show is today. I mentioned it here, but it’s worth repeating: Oprah has basically built a career out of tricking people into being inspired by Oprah talking about herself. I don’t know why people get suckered into her bullshit. I really don’t. This is a woman who brings on Suzanne Somers and Jenny McCarthy to give you fucking medical advice. This is a woman who embodies every horrible stereotype about rich liberals when she brags to Duke students about how awesome it is to travel via private jet. This is a woman who puts a photo of herself on EVERY issue of her magazine, every month. And I’m supposed to think the end of her pissant daytime show deserves some kind of honor? The woman’s been honoring herself every day for a fucking quarter century.
Oprah’s slogan is “Live your best life,” but what her slogan really means is “Live Oprah’s life.” Read the books SHE likes. Get advice from HER doctors. Hang out with HER friends. Buy the things SHE buys. She’s not so much a human being as she is a walking infomercial, covered in seal blubber and topped with a poofy wig. Even her most personal revelations are calculated for maximum brand impact. Oprah lost weight AND ONLY SHE KNOWS THE SECRET TO HOW IT’S DONE! Oprah has a long-lost half sister AND NOW ALL WILL BE REVEALED. There’s a reason every piece of shit reality star out there lists “being the next Oprah” as their next goal, because being the next Oprah means whoring yourself out to interplanetary levels and somehow ending up being lauded for it.
We all make fun of Donald Trump all the time because Trump is constantly congratulating himself for his successes, be they real or imaginary (usually the latter). And because Trump is a fuckhead. But Trump is really no different from Oprah. Both have made a career out of climbing on rooftops and declaring their success, suckering in people who aren’t successful and have duped themselves into believing that some famous idiot can guide them in the right direction. Hey, Oprah’s rich and happy! She must know how I can get rich and happy! MAYBE SHE’LL GIVE MY ASS A CAR!
The reality is that it’s a con. You’re gonna have to pay taxes on that piece of shit Pontiac Oprah gave you, and you’re never going to be as rich as her. That twiggy cunt Gwynnie Paltrow isn’t gonna come over to your house and make you an organic beefsteak tomato salad that’s every bit as satisfying as eating a two-pound ribeye. Those are all lies. And the beauty of those lies is that the longer you, Mrs. Housewife Viewer, go without being happy or successful, the more desperate you become to believe it all. Oprah has succeeded in getting millions of American women to live vicariously through her, to cheer on her successes because they’ve convinced themselves that they somehow have relevance to their lives. That’s the amazing thing. This woman’s a fucking billionaire with no kids who travels around in a private jet, and yet her audience still believes they have something in common with her. They have more in common with Lenny fucking Dykstra.
You have Oprah to blame for the Kardashian sisters, and virtually any other celebrity out there who spends more time promoting themselves than they do offering you something of actual value. At least I can jerk off to Kim. The end of Oprah’s show signifies nothing more than the end of hourly show dedicated to a smug, disingenuous person who loves to show off all her famous friends and her incredible lifestyle. She’s like Simmons without the “Karate Kid” references. One time I was stuck at the hospital while my wife was having our second kid and I had to sit there and listen to her trade compliments with Ashton Kutcher and human tit cyborg Demi Moore, and I wanted to suffocate my child with his crib mattress to keep him from living in a world where people actually listen to Oprah Winfrey. Every guy has had to sit through at least one episode of this woman’s show at the behest of a wife/girlfriend/mother, and every guy has the same reaction to it: “I can’t believe anyone buys this lady’s bullshit! What the fuck?”
She can eat shit and die, for all I care. Fuck you, Oprah. Unless you spend your last hour fessing up and playing Miss Fistblaster with Gayle King, the only thing startling about your exit is just how little it matters to anyone but yourself. FUCK OFF.


Drew was able to sneak in a Simmons bash. Nice (and absolutely and totally original.)
Orlandogirl, you are close but not quite there. Oprah is on TV. We can expect perfection on TV. Scratch that, DEMAND perfection on TV. In real life, we have no such expectations.
What really chaps my ass about Oprah is that she thinks everything she does and says is damn near a spiritual experience. I have thumbed through her magazine, and she seems to think that her chocolate chip cookie recipe is not only the best (they may well be), but are the functional equivalent of communion wafers in the Church of Oprah.
But enough of this. I may be fat, old, unattractive, and lacking in the dong department, but you will respect me!
Oprah is a cunt!
@OrlandoGirl: you are exactly the type of person Oprah and Dr. Phil appeal too. So that you can easily (that is, with no mental effort or acuity) stereotype all men’s reactions (if they differ from yours) into penile motivated stimulus response. I can certainly see why you and people like you enjoy the show.
but we did get a good south park episode.
ONLY redeeming factor to the bitch
Fantastic blog. Nailed it.
Also, add me to the club of “Men who have never watched an entire episode of Orca.”
woah this blog sucks hard
lol you think Matthew McConaughey is attractive? man, i’m not surprised you like Oprah… stop being sexist, not all men care only about sex and not all women care only about personality/integrity. hell, i wouldn’t watch The Soup if it weren’t for my love of Joel McHale… bullshit or not, no one wants to spend their time looking at unpleasant things. sure, men would be more inclined to watch Oprah if she was hot, but that doesn’t mean that they’d start buying her books and shit.
I hate anyone who actively seeks to head a cult of personality. It’s got nothing to do with Oprah’s race or looks (I’d hit it) or anything else. I hate Kim Jong Il and L. Ron Hubbard just as much, but Hubbard’s dead, so hating him isn’t as interesting.
Also, Oprah has no sense of humor. L. Ron Hubbard was a prick, but he founded Scientology on a bet. At least he’s funny.
I understand now. Men hate her because she is unattractive and people still listen to her. Men are accustomed to seeing only attractive women on TV. Anyone who doesn’t fit that mold falls outside their view of the world, and men don’t like to have their worldview challenged.
Women are used to having to listen to and show respect to unattractive men; that’s why unattractive men don’t offend us. And that’s why we know better than to think men like Matthew McConaughey are “smart” or “interesting” solely because of their attractiveness.
Hey Orlandogirl, that sneaking suspicion you have that if Oprah were hot, men’s reactions to her would be completely different? Of course we would. She’d be hot and therefore interesting. Have her show some cleavage and I will think she is smart too
Dammit! Oprah fans are here! Moose, kill this fucking thread before it’s too late!
Not that Oprah need anyone to stand up for her, but I saw her speak at a conference a couple years ago and she is fucking magic!
I’m not a fan and never watched the show, but after 10 minutes I felt like she was speaking DIRECTLY to me.
I thought about becoming a millionaire. Does that mean I’m gonna hit the lottery?
Also, WHO TOLD OPRAH FANS ABOUT THIS POST? GAWD WE CAN NEVER HAVE NICE THINGS AROUND HERE.
Yes, this is all very interesting but the big question is: WHAT DOES PK THINK OF THIS?
A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes. ~ Gandhi
this is the most RACIST BULLSHIT EVER. Oprah has helped more people on this planet than anybody!!! Esp all you racist losers writing this hateful shit. do the world a favor & kill yourselves. spare us your hate.
Wow….that is pretty much everything I’ve ever felt about that fat POS. Bravo.
You guys are hilarious. I find it fascinating how much men hate Oprah.
I personally watch her show occasionally on topics that I find interesting (NOT anything related to celebrities). No, I do not quote her constantly, nor blindly follow her every word, nor purchase any of the products she plugs. The world is full of stupid people and followers. She filled a void and made a shitload of money doing it. Why should her ambition bother you?
I have a sneaking suspicion if she were hot, men’s reactions to her would be completely different.
Well played sir, well played.
Out of perverse curiosity I chose to see what clap trap she was doling out in her “love letter” to her fans (i have a job that allows for watching TV) and it was some new age shit-fest with O more or less calling herself a deity. Founding a Scientology like religion based around herself would not be out of the question.
Thankfully I also have a wife who abhors Oprah and all she stands for.
Getting to tell 5 of Oprah’s interns and producers “No, I’m sorry, we really don’t want anything to do with your program” was the single greatest experience of my last job. The best part was their loss of words after I said it… they clearly hadn’t heard them before. One of them just kinda rambled on… “but, wait… did you hear that this is for Oprah?”
Oprah’s secret fantasy: To go to any small-town Food Lion and mull over whether to have neckbones or gizzards for supper….
S, I had no idea my mother had a second family.
/Dr. Phil is still worse. At least surgeons are real doctors.
BDD — If this is any consolation, I’m older than you, and the older you get, the easier it is to ignore nonsense like this woman. You learn how to focus, for the sake of your kids if nothing else, on just on the stuff that doesn’t make you want to rip out your own spine and replace your blood with something else, just so you can stop having vertebrate and mammal in connection with the annoying celebrity in question, or their fans.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to go listen to The BS Report, then Google blood replacement strategies.
Also fuck fuck FUCK Oprah for inflicting Dr. Oz on the world, and mainly by “the world” I mean “into every conversation I ever have with my mother who repeats whatever stupid bullshit Dr. Oz is spouting about free radicals and sunblock at least 17 times like it’s the fucking ten commandments.”
Oh my god Dr. Oz you suck so bad, fuck all of them. .
Me: Oh…you’re watching Oprah…
Girlfriend: Oh no, fuck that. I haven’t changed the channel from last night’s episode of Modern Family, I was just changing the AV cables so we could watch Battlestar Galactica.
Me: *instant boner*
@RickyWilliams..
When it works, Its actually pretty good..
I don’t know which direction it goes, it cuts out too often to get a good reading.
Now the toilet is an interesting thing. Depending on which side my shit falls on the water will go in different directions. Undecided.
Dr. Phil deserves a “This Week in Fuck You” of his own. But Drew, this is definitely the best TWIFU yet. Well done!!
I’m late to this, but Launchpad made me laugh.
Fuck him in his worm-encrusted keester. Fuck him so very very hard!
I promised myself I wouldn’t cry!
God bless you Drew. God bless you!
And Fuck that no talent assclown Dr. Phil
@ steeler fan in peru
So does the internet go counterclockwise down there or is that a myth?
Whats got into you, Dave?
It’s not whats got into me, it’s whats got into Oprah….MY SEED, SON!!!
I’m out!
I disliked her in the 70s back when she hosted “People Are Talking!” on Channel 13 in Baltimore, with…mmm…Richard Shere? Jerry Shere?

WT
The Penn and Teller’s BULLSHIT episode about anti-vaccinations is one of their best episodes. Oh, and they get a hot, topless playboy model to read facts about vaccinations to counter Jenny McCarthy. God I love that show
What I just realized……. DoS attacks are totally awesome against that asshole I remember…..
Please make that happen dear internet. Or, if the IDF and the US are listening, couldn’t you find out where these fuckers live and get Stuxnet to get India to finish the job?
very tasty hate. well done
/fuck you oprah
//dick joke
If even one of you goes to that damned spam site, I’m kicking ass. Frickin spammers drive me bananas. Hey! A new “TWIFU”!
Oprah could be compared to a socialist- telling us not to worry our empty little heads because SHE knows what’s best for us. Fuck her.
Bravo, Sir!
/wipes away tears from eyes
Really? You guys don’t like Oprah?
Oprah’s advice on rentals combined with PK’s “nugget” can mean only one thing. PK watches Oprah.
Turn in your man card please.
On a personal note, Oprah never bothered me because, one I never watched, and two, I wouldn’t date a woman who quotes Oprah or worships at the altar of the Big O. For many years Oprah was the butt of jokes.
It’s the cult of celebrity in our country. It’s stupid congressmen and women fawning over a hollywierd star who is speaking on some ” issue “. Hey dipshits, before I break a sweat over the plight of the brown snail darter, can we balance the budget, fix our broken medical system, protect and secure our borders and maybe disengage from Afghanistan and Libya?

It’s hard to top your PK takedowns, Drew, but this may have done it. Excellent work.
Where does one get a subscription for this “G: The Gino Magazine”? It sounds intriguing. Or will I find out tomorrow?
Rejoice KSK staff! You have become big enough that fucking idiots and spambots use your site as a forum to plug their products!
HA GmenJohnie – http://www.whatirealized.com is mad funny. thanks for sending along.
screw opera. unless she gets me onto one of those shows where she gives away trucks n stuff.
@Otto
“G: The Gino Magazine” has a motto: “Eh, Fuck It. I’ll Do It Tomorrow”. We want you to drink, smoke and fuck around with stupid shit to your fullest.
Wait. Husbands can watch what they want?? I wish I knew that before my wife forced me to watch Dancing With the Stars the other night. You know that commercial where the guy in the restaurant smashes the cell phone with the picture of the tarantula on it? Well, that’s what I did to my TV when I saw Kirstie Alley in a unitard. I can’t believe the network didn’t get fined for that, because when she ripped off that skirt and threw it in the crowd…………that was a Def-Con 10 wardrobe malfunction.
Oprah is a herpe on the labia minora of American culture.
To whoever mentioned it, you are correct. Kim Kardashian is a hot as shit centaur.
I am not a big Oprah fan, but two things:
1) Boca Xen has a point
g) She didn’t invent attention whoring; she may have perfected it, but she didn’t invent it. And as someone above says, she’s not really going away, just moving once and for all to her OWN (get it?) channel.
Thank you for finding things I didn’t even know I hated, and making me hate them so fucking bad.
What is the over/under on when Oprah finally comes out?
I say 5 years from now she finally comes clean about Gayle and the beard, I mean Steadman.
…whoring yourself out to interplanetary levels…
ET pays for sex with Okra? Fucking freaks.
/had nothing
STEDMAN!! STEDMAN!!
NOT JUST OPRAHS BOYFRIEND!!
IF YOU CROSS HIM YOU’RE A DEAD MAN!
YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID MAN!!
Self improvement is mental masturbation…
Bees?
BEEEEES!
That picture is crying out for Laserface-style Moutheyes.
BTW, I’m less into giving her a “FUCK YOU” as I am in telling her sycophants “FUCK YOU!” She’d be nothing more than any other talk show nobody, slogging it through weekday afternoons if not for the millions (AND MILLIONS!) of desperate, bored-out-of-their-skulls, cattle-like desperates who tune in to her and bleat her statements like gospel and do as she commands.
I hope she gets embroiled in some image-shattering scandal.
You mean like her South African school for girls that amounted to jack shit beyond accusations of sexual abuse and a dead baby that was found?
Boy George! That’s a lad that I’d hate to fight. She wears underwear with dick-holes in ‘em.
/dick joke
The Donald Trump comparison is good, but Ronald Reagan is even better. There is unbelievable wealth available to those who can developed a devoted cult of followers and worshipers. RIP Sai Baba!

BEEEEEEEES!
So many horrible people mentioned in one thread.
So many.
All so horrible
And so rich.
Rich because of so many stupid people.
So many.
All so stupid.
/weeps uncontrollably
//dick joke
Gino, I am intrigued by your views and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Which, I assume, is called G: The Gino Magazine.
@Billy… here in Peru we actually did have that death squad, not sure if you knew. Apparently it was pretty badass. Headed by a guy named Vladimir Montesinos. If that’s not the most gangster name in history what is?
And I want to play Miss Fistblaster. Is that available on PS3?
When IS Straightman going to pop the question?
Uh… uh… You’re all getting German cuckoo clocks!
(Audience go nuts)
UU: For her money she could do pretty much anything she wants.
This can’t be stated often enough: SHE ISN’T EVEN MARRIED. She goes around giving marital advice, yet SHE IS NOT MARRIED. My wife thinks I should listen to her, when SHE ISN’T MARRIED.
How in the hell do women not see the hypocrisy there? It astounds me. How does their bullshit radar completely malfunction like that when it comes to this one person?
@BB, but would you let her fuck you for her money?
I’d fuck her for her money.
Oprah isn’t even the richest man in the world…. why the big deal?
Oprah used to date Roger Ebert.
i want this tattooed on me.
Related Side Fuck You:
Celebrities with “lifestyle guides” (I’m looking at you, Gwyneth Paltrow). “When I’m feeling run down and my husband Chris Martin of Coldplay is at the studio, I have the staff look after my daughter Apple and I fly to my villa in Mallorca and just get back to basics. I start out with a organic açai smoothie and then yoga with my full-time instructor. Then I have someone plant two trees at a fair-trade farm in Kenya. It’s important to keep green”
Fuck you, Gwyneth Paltrow.
