Dylan Mulvaney?s Cringeworthy Clap Back at Donald Trump Is So Bad It's
Almost Impressive
https://youtu.be/XQZRm5qe2Uk?si=ga-Sxv9XewRj1eyC
Dylan Mulvaney still exists? Who knew?
What did you watch?
I somehow found myself watching Nation's Dumbest, a ridiculous
game/reality show which has set a goal of identifying the USA's
stupidest celebrity. The contestants are asked easy questions and set
easy challenges, earning a star (max three) if they solve it and losing
a star (min zero) if they can't. In each episode, one contestant
graduates and goes home, thereby no longer in the running for the title
of Nation's Dumbest. Most of the contestants can in fact answer easy questions, but the show spends a lot of time on each failure.
There was one influencer, Mark something, who did seem genuinely stupid
to me. He got obvious things wrong to the point where some of the other contestants started giving him hints. It didn't help. When the last
puzzle baffled him, the host took pity and told him that his hair looked great. He smiled and thanked the host, looking genuinely pleased. I'm
glad he made it as an influencer, because he doesn't seem well-qualified
for other jobs.
Jojo Siwa, the Zoomer singer/dancer, came off as sharp. She said a
number of borderline-ditzy things, thereby getting lots of screen time,
and solved the problems with time to spare.
I wasn't sure why I was watching, but I figured it out partway into the
second episode. It's because most of these people are narcissists, and
it's interesting (in a sad way) to see them sucking at something with,
in most cases, absolutely no idea that they suck. None of those who
performed poorly seemed properly embarrassed. They were all asked the
nickname of the award given by the American Academy of Motion Pictures,
and most got it, but one put "woman" (?) and another put "gold guys."
Most of them were entertainers; how did they not know that? There was
also some clown who was asked the main ingredient of tofu, wrote
"curd," and had a huge wobbly because this was not accepted.
The main appeal of such shows is to allow the viewer to feel superior. I
guess it kind of works.
What did everyone else watch?

For supposing they should,
It would do them no good --
They'd lose it at once to the bold.
