Parents: puts toddlers through a beauty pageant Toddlers: acts like toddlers Parents: 😮

the fact that you referred to toddlers & tiaras as t&t just ONCE and then literally said the full name the rest of the video🧍🏻

I've always considered Toddlers and Tiara's to be straight up child abuse

why are we not talking about the man in the pink shirt holding the goat. I think we need to talk about him.

Mama June’s family is *IN A CRISIS* but nobody’s on their way 😢

The AUDACITY of not even saying "It's Christmas, Let's go home."

You’re at a concert during a global pandemic? I’m so disappointed in you Michael 😔😔

"you can draw similarities between this and dance moms" yes it's called the exploitation of children lmao

Compliment of the day: your acne isn’t horrible today.

what's more american than a reality show about ✨child labor✨ on The Learning Channel

Most of the time that the kids were “bratty” just seemed like them stressed out since their parents were forcing them to spend hours doing parents that they didn’t want to do

I have to say, brat or not, I feel bad for Brenna in some clips. It's beyond clear she doesn't want to be filmed, and none of the adults around her are listening. Her trying to push the door closed and begging for help made my heart sink.

he returned for us when WE NEEDED HIM MOST

1.8/10 on IMDb 5 year old me: imma spend hours watching that 16 year old me: how was this even aired

the show gets worse when you realize a lot pageant parents spent thousands on costumes and transportation and made sure their kid knew. I remember one episode a mom was like "you better win and make my money back" to her TODDLER. also I despise how they treated Brenna. her being 'bratty' isnt a personality trait, its a natural response to extreme stress. no kid should have to go through this

we need a world’s strictest parents reality rewind🤭😭

Mama June saying 'at least I'm not giving her alcohol' is like when the kids at my school vape and say ' at least I'm not smoking crack' Like it could always be worse but that doesn't mean it's not bad now!!

Honestly though, the idea of child beauty pageants has always made me feel uncomfortable and it's obvious that it really negatively impacts these young girls. Then they have to make it worse by putting them on TV and having this pressure on them as well.

"I could be giving her alcohol" the bar is looowww

pov: you’re still here cause mike never said “it’s christmas let’s go home” 😔

me: *having a small mental breakdown in an airport p.f. chang’s * michael’s microphone: ~serotonin~

“There’s worse things I could give her” ... you could also just... not. give your daughter anything...?

The stress these children must have experienced, I can't even imagine. The pressure to succeed put on them by their psycho parents, constant comparison to other girls, the make up, gulping down energy drinks to get hyped, constantly being filmed... No wonder the girls in the clips showed bratty and aggressive behavior.

This hits way harder now that I'm about to be a parent. Yikes my bikes.

dude toddlers in tiaras makes me so uncomfortable, not just bratty kids acting out--but parents exploiting them and dressing them as adults...like no thank u bb

I was on a school trip to the aquarium in Florida and we heard honey boo boo was there so basically we (the entire grade) were texting each other in a chaotic group chat until we found her

He really pulled a Kurtis Conner on us and just FORGOT the ✨it’s Christmas let’s go home.✨ I can’t trust anyone anymore

I hate that it just demonized the kids when in reality these parents should go to jail 🙃

but you know what.... the memes from toddlers and tiaras are just the highest class.

I love how he abbreviated it to “tnt” bc it was too long as if he didn’t have an entire video saying “clairefromthebonappetitetestkitchen” 😂

That girl who wanted privacy in her own hotel room is better at holding boundaries with people than I am

Hi miss ma’am give me a heart don’t be shy

Mike casually recording in the front of a rock concert Love that for him ✨

My dad's in the military, so he was gone a lot when I was little and my mom raised me and my sister for the first couple years mostly without him; and whenever she felt like a bad parent she watched toddlers in tiaras to make herself feel better

toddlers doing swimwear modelling should NOT be allowed omg

"I will let them have a frightening Media Monopoly for the cute rat movie" 🤣

I'll never forget the episode where one of the four year olds had an adult pageant coach, who decided to enter the CHILD pageant herself in the "14 and up" category. A grown ass woman in her mid 30s competing against 14 year olds. And she won the age group of course.

i feel like giving your toddler the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee is medically dangerous. caffeine is an addictive substance and those dont typically mix well with children...

my all-time favorite toddlers and tiaras quote is “sometimes I wish I weren’t famous and I was just a fish” 😗🤌🏼

*mama june: from not to hot* is one of the most TOXIC shows i've ever seen

Fun Fact: TLC was owned by the same company that owned the Discovery Channel. Originally TLC had very learning-centric shows. It was, in some ways, another Discovery Channel, or another Science Channel -- all of their content was largely educational, though with a heavier emphasis on being entertaining as well. But at some point Discovery realized there was a lot of money to be made in reality TV, and started creating shows to get that bread. However, they didn't want to put that shit on their own, respectable network, so they put it on TLC. And that's how we got to where we are today.

it's so weird to see children been that competitive instead of just having fun

Bringing up the show Mortified unlocked an avalanche of memories I didn’t know about and what I think might have been my seventh chakra.

In case you haven't watched Toddlers & Tiaras, this is what you're missing: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The WAY I immediately clicked on the video 😌✨

I feel like parents who are abusive always justify it with "well, it could be worse." Uh, yeah, but it could also be a whole lot better!

Quietly whispering “Masters degree” while you apply it to determine the viewership of Toddlers and Tiaras is a whole mood

Never been this early for anything in my life 😭

why do the children on this show scare the crap out of me

This show was so crusty I can’t

I will never, not once, blame the toddlers for how they act. They simply do not have the brain to process pageants and filming and all this shit their parents are putting on them. And then the parents get mad at them for how they act?? Like no they’re your responsibility.

When you've seen a toddler with the face of a 30 year old painted on to them, it's time to turn of the TV. Creepy AF!

I've never watched TNT but assumed it was just kids dressing up, but after watching this, my reaction was actually this 1:18

"sorry this is a tangent," umm, this isn't straight line touching a curve at a single point without crossing it there... Go off on that tangent!! We love to see it!

The ONE scene i hate the most from this show is where Brenna is being interviewed and the person behind the camera asks "are you pretty" and she legit HAS A MELTDOWN over the question, saying things like, "if i am pretty, why would she ask that?" and i hate this show for it. i hate pageants for little girls cuz it puts a complex and they are not ready for it. LET KIDS BE KIDS!!

Brenna's "Success = 👑" has the same energy as Cersei Lannister saying "Power is power."

Him: My large, over-sized age of 25 Me at 30: 👁👄👁

TLC actually used to have a segment that ran bunch of educational programs for kids on weekday (or weekend?) mornings and i know this bc i used to watch peep and the big wide world on there as a kid so it was a learning channel at some point lmao

these parents really dont care about their children huh lmao

I don't think most of the kids are brats. They're clearly being pushed past limits that would be stressful for adults, let alone children who aren't fully developed. Their parents are doing such a bad job, I feel so bad for these kids

the second you said mortified my entire childhood flashed before my eyes and the memory of that show was unlocked from the deep crevices of my fat brain

Fun fact: i did pageants as a teen and actually competed in the lady at 6:30’s pageants and also met honey booboo irl lmao. Pageants w/ drama are 100% like this but not all of them have drama. Toddlers and tiaras and the glitz pageant community is hella toxic tho and I would never let my child be in a pageant until they were at least in their teens bc by then it’s way different lol

Are you telling me TLC doesn’t stand for tender loving care? I AM SHoOkEth. I straight up always thought it was a satire since half the shows depict crazy families.

the fact they literally spray tanned these children for the swimsuit category. ive had enough.

Me as a tiny baby (age like 8) desperately wanted to be in pageants. I was obsessed with that show.... honestly who let me watch THAT AS AN 8 YEAR OLD

the amount of meme references in your videos gives me brittany broski vibes and i am liv👏ing👏 for👏 it👏

why is that man holding a goat

dude it’s so sad like “some ppl say she’s a brat” yeah ur putting her in competitions where her looks are being compared to other girls at the age of THREE while not getting rid of the camera that she clearly doesn’t like having in her face,,,as someone who takes care of kids sometimes this is so upsetting 😭

7:45 - Oh, yea, I'm sure Brenda is much better behaved when there are no strangers with the camera in her hotel room after she literally tried to fight them off. Miss your child could not be more uncomfortable right now. And you are calling her a brat for, what, being a toddler? Being spoiled? Miss you did that

toddlers and tiaras exists everyone: oh my god child abuse how emotionally traumatising this must be for these kids Dance moms exists everyone: hahahaha that was so funny when Abby shouted at them kids

You can tell mike has a masters degree by the way he implies big brain moves with his extremely analytical hand gestures

Just me or is Mike looking extra fine today

"ma'amala ma'amderson" *WHEEZE*

Me and my friends in high school had weekly watch parties of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and my mom would always buy everyone pixie sticks

i was just thinking about the "i like sparkly dresses" vine the entire time help

While a LOT of pageants, pageant coaches, and pageant parents are gross and exploitative, as seen in Toddlers and Tiaras, there are some that genuinely are not! The show "Kim of Queens" (you can watch it free on KZfaq) is actually a great show with a great coach that doesn't exploit or sexualize the kids at all (and none of them are toddlers, which helps). She doesn't do "full glitz" (big hair and gaudy makeup) pageants, especially for the kids, she doesn't make the performances or outfits sexually charged (and actively speaks against it), she works on the girls' confidence and talent, she doesn't only care about winning no matter what, and she makes sure that the girls are doing it because _they_ want to do it. If "Toddlers and Tiaras" shows the exploitative side of the child pageant industry, "Kim of Queens" shows the helpful and wholesome side. Plus, it's a fun show overall, lmao

Ahhhhh yes I was hoping you'd cover this 😍😍😍😍

This was exactly what I needed after an extremely stressful and anxiety filled work day. Thank you so much, Mike, for some light in the darkness of life. ❤️

I'm pretty sure France just straight up banned child beauty pageants a few years ago. We should all follow France in that.

1:18 Beyoncé when she doesn’t see sia on the cctv in her basement

Chile anyways? More like TODDLER anyways 😌💅

5:55 The hair, the weird ass collar, the goat, the voice *I have no choice but to stan*

Honestly the child saying "get out of my room, get those cameras away from me" is probably the most reasonable thing anyone said in any of those clips.

They really tried to justify giving their children enough caffeine and sugar to give them heart failure? Wait a damn minute.

The fact that Eden and Mackenzie weren’t included is just blasphemous.

does anyone else wonder what Mike will say when it's literally xmas and we all literally can't go anywhere but home?

I started watching Michael microphone when his videos would get a hundred likes and I’ve always appreciated how seriously he talks about these kinds of shows bc I talk about them the exact same way.

Nothing like some Michael Microphone to cap off the day💆🏾‍♀️

Your compliment- that hairdo is looking great 💇🏽 (Not first, but still early)

I guess I'll say it: "It's Christmas, let's go home.✌"

fun fact no one asked: mortified was pretty popular in brazil for a lil while. it aired on disney channel and in open air television. i remember loving it so much, and also thinking that it was the best cause it was brazilian. you must imagine my complete shock when i found out it was not brazilian and that it wasn't even from the united states. in my defense, the brazilian dubbing in INSANE and its so good you barely notice any difference. also, i was a dumb child.

Miss KZfaq was actually on time with the notifs? impossible

OKAY PLASTIC HEARS AT THE BEGINNING I SEE YOU

I genuinely just hope that these kids grow out of this nonsense their parents brought to them. This kind of treatment can leave life long scars. Being 3 and having the adults around you telling that you need fake teeth and drinks in order to be liked is simply heartbreaking.

My mum and I used to watch What Not To Wear on TLC all the time, and she hated all the reality tv commercials 😂

Today‘s compliment: your hair looks stunning✨

omg throwback. i used to wake up at 6 am and binge this when I was like 10

mama June said: pageant crack? no❤️ actual crack? yes❤️
