Extreme Cheapskates is basically "Live like a poor man out of fear of having to live like a poor man."

Fun Fact: Most of the people on Extreme Cheapskates are completely capable of living normal middle class life’s.

I think despite all differences, sex, race, identity, politics, religion, the whole world can come together and agree that watching TLC is like watching a car crash.

Do y'all remember that aisian woman on extreme cheapskates? The one who would dumpster dive for food and feed ot to her friends? Well she's actually a really wonderful lady who leads a normal life. TLC literally tricked her into believing that the show was a comedy show, not a reality show. Practically every over the top thing she did was what the producers told her to do under the guise of "comedy". That poor woman's life turned into hell after the show aired, and she couldn't even fight back because of the nda, but a couple years back she decided to violate the nda and expose the truth about TLC's inhumane practices.

The worst fate a person can suffer has to be being born into a family that has a TLC show about them

9:55 “…WHAT IS THIS?!?! HOW DO YOU COOK?!?? WHERES THE FLOOOORR?!?!?!?!??!?!” Favorite line of the entire video

Bruh I remember watching My Strange Addiction as a kid with my mom. There was an episode of MSA where a lady was addicted to drinking animal blood. Sometimes her boyfriend would make himself bleed for her to drink. I was terrified cause I thought she was a real vampire 💀

"TLC is an american television channel founded by... *NASA?!"* Well, NASA wanted to explore the vast empty space in the viewers'craniums

TLC got a certain vibe that just hooks you in and doesn’t want to let you go

My favorite part about TLC is that they openly exploit weird or out of the ordinary people and play them for laughs and views. The best part is that it works, and they get away with it. Totally not scummy at all./sarcasm

I remember TLC was a quality learning channel for like 5 yrs when i was a kid which is why my mom started to watch it. But as the years went on the content got so focused on "reality" content and it just fell so far off to never recover

TLC is the morbid curiosity channel. It’s like looking at the aftermath of a bad car crash

Chunky water is some of the most disgusting but funniest shit I've ever heard

The best part about the couponing shows is that they literally just lied and made fake coupons to make them more interesting

The dumpster diving is somewhat justified depending on the situation. There’s a documentary on a dude who does it and he’s literally grabbing stuff still in its packaging in a box, that was just thrown out because it was past a best by date. It’s perfectly fine in his situation, but idk about that lady

When I was five and starting school this happened. I needed to pee. When I went to the boys' washroom I saw that somebody took a big shit in the sink. I didn't use a public washroom after that until well into my 20s. This seems like the right place to tell my story. Thank you.

Tlc never really sat right with me. Exploiting middle class people with disabilities, addictions, etc for tv ratings is just so wild. That being said, I’d shrug that all off to watch Rose yell at Michael in 90df and then watch someone find a flattened raccoon under their mountain of clothes. The crack they put in their shows is just too damn good

3:48 mr duck😂

I have a lot of history from TLC. Firstly, my mother watches the 90 Day Fiancés & Housewives, and my dad and I don’t get it. Also, my mom and I, when I was younger, we watched 4 Wedings all the time! Also she watched Say Yes to the Dress, which was the first thing that showed me same sex marrige with a lesbian couple

I worked at a grocery store during the Extreme Couponing fad and it was an absolute nightmare. So many Karens. We had a mom and daughter with 4 carts each come in 20 minutes before closing time on a biweekly basis. You'd have to close off a whole lane for 2 hours, ring up 700 coupons until the store owed THEM money, and still have to call the manager bc they're ready to raze the store to the ground for a 10 cents off coupon for canned cat food that expired yesterday bc it's now after midnight and the coupon has turned back into a pumpkin.

The days where my entire family would gather around the TV to tune into the Sunday shitshow that is 90 Day Fiance are some of my favorites

i remember watching toddlers and terrible parenting when i was younger and thinking the little girls were just spoiled brats maturing is realising that the girls were being abused and forced to work against their own will

Here in Guatemala, all barbershops and beauty salons leave the TV on with either TLC or soccer, but somehow, it feels like a dirty pleasure watching these shows.

9:59 had me laughing hard 💀

TLC even went through this weird phase of producing shows on dwarfism families. Like “little people big world” or the “little couple” , that’s just one of the weird shows they always made. Not even mentioning “My Strange Addictions” and many more.

Watching TLC is therapeutic for all the wrong reasons

6:14 Exact description of marriage XD

I can remember as a kid avoiding the TLC channel as much as I can. I preferred watching most cartoons anyways (animators can, unfortunately, get exploited too, but at least animation is a medium in of itself that can be fun and has inspired people to become creative).

TLC was the channel I would always avoid as a child and every time I even peaked I had nightmares for weeks

Fun fact: the red head guy you showed while talking about the dog dying causing their obesity actually lost pretty much all of the weight and is now a pretty normal dude, his name is Casey if I remember correctly

12:01 had me laughing

As a child, I was obsessed with Extreme Cheapskates and Toddlers in Tiaras because I found it so fascinating that people who have a brick in their head were crazy and honestly disgusting at times. The brats were loud and the Cheapskates have giant houses.

TLC is great for motivation. The happy moments make you believe your goals are attainable, and the horror stories let you say “well damn, at least my life isn’t THAT screwed up.”

My mom and I had a special ritual of getting a ton of food from Taco Bell and sitting down in the living room to watch _My Strange Addiction_ and other weird shows. We did this all the way up to the day that I moved out of the house. Those days are some of my fondest memories with my mom.

12:17 my mom thought that was Kayne 🤣😂

11:27 why bro so red😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"Hey, my name Aquarius, The reason why I'm so big is cuz my dog died when I was 4 years old, Then I ate a Popeye Biscuit, and my life was never the same since" Those lines got me on the floor🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 bros a comedian fr

“The Learning Channel” *Everyone:* “Oh oh, our bullshit detectors are off the charts!”

11:10 i’m surprise they didn’t start it

Eating bugs isn’t actually that taboo. they’re not a bad source of protein, and multiple countries eat them. We also have things like those weird scorpion lollipops.

Never liked Reality Shows, but man are they entertaining as all get out and the memes are abounded and we all as a people are better for it

Trisha Paytas was on my strange addiction for being addicted to tanning. She admitted it and said everything was faked. She's been on other shows also. The Asian lady digging in the dumpster, came out years later she said, TLC told her to do a lot of that stuff, and it ruined her life. These people never got paid to do this. She said a lot of things in the show were completely faked or exaggerated. I remember seeing a short documentary on the Asian lady and how much that show ruined her life. She said they took advantage of her because she's not very pretty or they would say, dig in the dumpster that'll be really funny. People make fun of her every day and call her ugly. I felt heartbroken hearing her story for a dumb show. I loved watching a lot of TLC's shows. My strange addiction, hoarders, extreme cheap stakes, and my favorite was 90-day fiance. You can tell it's really embellished or very exaggerated now. You can look up a lot of the actresses or actors, they have in their show. 90% of 90-day fiance they're all Instagram models s*** one season they had 3 or 4 KZfaqrs on it lol. After I saw the Asian lady come out, I stopped Supporting TLC. The only show I watch is 90-day fiance.

1:59 translation "Six of may, remember that day."

If you didn’t know, bugs are edible, and they actually are good sources of food as long as you don’t eat a venomous or harmful bug

Actually, Plankton eating the the holographic meals is a clever way of demonstrating photosynthesis

I strongly believe the current intention of TLC is just to show programs that make people feel better about themselves and their own lives

My dad used to have a argentinian roomate who was dumpster divin for food and one time he brought home some expired salmon and i never smelled anything that bad ever again. The whole apartment was smellin like rotten fish for a month after he threw it out

TLC was that one channel that everyone made fun off just for the simple fact that they had people go up on there talking about their lives in the most bazar way possible.

The only British woman on my strange addiction was my hair dresser, she told me that it was real and that she really eats rocks, she even showed me the rocks she had in her purse as a “snack”. Don’t know about the others but that episode was real for sure.

I think you left out the best one. There's one called "Sex Sent Me To The ER" and it's exactly what it sounds like.

"Why don't You Guys have Horror Movies there?" "We don't need them, We have American Reality TV Shows."

What has the world become.Who ever created the horrible era of TLC must be put in a mental asylum

I'm sorry reality TV shows are my guilty pleasures, I don't watch them religiously but it's like I find them entertaining and lowkey get invested because it can get so messy, but I can also live without it. 💀

4 weddings is an absolute treat to watch cause I just like to guess what petty shit they’ll say to lower a score. Oh, Jessica’s wedding was outside and it started raining a bit? Guess I’ll give it a 4. What’s that? Mandy’s wedding dinner was entirely vegan and you didn’t like that? Oh well! Give her a 3 Ashley’s wedding was also outside during the summer and you got bit by 2 mosquitoes? Why not give her a big old 2!?

"only use the school bathrooms" and that's when I knew this was a real problem because man are those school toilets disgusting... anyone who'd rather this has a real dark backstory!!!

Fun fact: at 1:59 if you pause at the right time some Arabic text appears, which roughly translates to “6th of may, remember that day” Totally not creepy at all.

I remember one episode of my 600 pound life where the girl kept screaming at her boyfriend, she got stuck in a car they rented and because of her behavior, I don't feel bad for admitting that I nearly pissed myself when I heard that they nearly called the fire department.

Those cheapskates never thought about growing a garden and that slightly annoys me

Out of all the addictions in My Strange Addiction, the inflatable guy is the cleanest. He actually cleans them and has a pool for them.

9:53 she was like: THIS😃IS😊MY☺KITCHEN🤭MY🤗FAVORITE😇ROOM😜IN🤫THE😛HOUSE🥰

Degenerocity hitting us with the bangers once again

This the first video that I genuinely laughed at in a while, this guys humor is so dry yet suttle and he uses humor to drive home his point, he has earned my sub and 15 social credit.

I honestly feel bad for kids born into families that have TLC shows about them like Tammy's and Amy's families, just bound to have some kind of trauma.

The lady who had an addiction of eating couch cushions had me ROLLIN

9:55 OH HELL NAH

I'm still traumatized by pasta water girl. I was gaging seeing her episode clips. When I first watched that episode I literally vomited a lil bit. Had to turn off the tv and go outside. When my mom tried to explain to my older brother why I was outside staring at the clouds questioning life she started to gag and then came outside to sit with me. Yer we stopped watching that show after that. I was always screamish over gross things but she usually watch those sort of things stone faced. That episode got her and that's off the walls amazing to me.

You edit your own videos? It's absolute perfection! I think I'll go watch some more. Oh, TLC definitely means Total Life Chaos!

While I personally think Reality TV was hit or miss. But the best one out there is Syfy’s Face Off. Really great show. I love how they did creature designs.

12:10 honestly I saw a clip of this ep on KZfaq and it was very cute. She’s so knowledgeable the topic for someone so young, plus she keeps them properly. The tub and egg carton enclosures are typically how experienced reptile hobbyists keep their feeder roaches. Idc what anyone says this girl is cool as hell

I only ever watched HGTV for old reruns of “Homes under the hammer”, but “House Hunters” had taken hold of me for quite a while despite how mundane it was. I found it so dreary but couldn’t stop watching people go to rent houses in Sweden. Four Weddings was also the best show on TLC.

Thank you so much man , I haven't laughed so hard in months , I love your videos

Truly is the perfect moment for a skeleton emoji 10:32 💀

8:37 I’m dying

10:00 and on got me dying😭

You are so good at editing and jokes I am glad I live on this earthly plain knowing that you exist

The ammount of work you did for this video alone, you got a sub my guy!

11:56, well, atleast it's edible.

Fun fact there was an episode some black lady didn't actually make any improvements to her life by the end of the 600 pound show. She actually gained weight near the end of the show, because she didn't stick to the diet. Then after she spouted something about God being with her and she's gonna succeed the women stopped contacting the show runners all together without any doctor visits either. The episode ended there with that last part in text.

We need to have a group hangout and binge these shows for like 72 hours

9:38 extreme cheap steaks 🥩🤣

I was eating while watching and I wasnt ready for the strange addictions part

To be fair, the roaches girl seems to keep her pets fairly competently! The ones she keeps are species that don't infest and aren't the same as household roaches. I keep some myself, just with much smaller populations :) Otherwise, yeah, TLC is a mess

4 Weddings was fire IYKYK 😂 Great video and so happy you brought it up! God bless you Degenerocity ✝️🙏!

Dude, holy shit every time I watch your videos it’s when I’m eating and this video really made me lose my appetite

The most unsettling addictions I saw was the woman eating her husband's cremated remains, she needed some serious help

I loved the Amish reality shows cus it was so cool seeing people adjust to another culture and seeing how it turned out for them

"Aquarius" actually went through quite the glow up. A true inspiration.

bruuh i loved some of these as a kid man especially the coupon one and the strange addition had me on the edge on my bed glad i wasn't watching them alone as a kid 😂

9:10 damn the booty warrior reference got me dying

TLC doesn't stand for the learning channel It stands for the lost cause channel

Property Brothers where the real top G’s

I will always love Little People Big World Ive been watching that since I was young and I still love it to this day. I admire people with dwarfism because of how inspiring they are. They are some of the weirdest people in the world, yet they live like nothing is wrong. I just love them so much. The fact that they’re small just adds to how much i love them Theres a girl with dwarfism at my highschool, and i really wanna just approach her and tell her she’s an inspiration, and i love her

Watching TLC makes you feel better as a human being, thats why so many people like it!

10:17 The worst part is that tuna is cheaper than catfood

5:23 this had me on the floor 💀

Dude you're hilarious, i would watch an hour of this.

I would love to hear more about your wedding server stories

The guy at 8:42 also had his episode slightly faked, around half the things he did on the show TLC just told him to do, he's also skinny now but TLC just looked at him when he was at a bad point of his life instead of when he got better, his name is Casey King

1:00 idk why I got excited for this even though the title is TLC, I thought it was an egg surprise or something 😭

1:59 it said "the sixth of may,remember that day" in Arabic
