The name of the show was "just like mom". The hosts name is Fergie Oliver. He was like this with every contestant. If I remember correctly it was kinda his shtick. People expected this from him and that he was just being charming. Watching it now sure is shocking but it didn't feel that way at the time.
Unfortunately, people really did think was acceptable because everyone on the planet buried their head in the sand that there was such a thing as paedophilia.
This was awful and I only made it to the second forced kiss and fucking died of cringitis. Castrating is too kind, dude needs to fall feet first into a woodchipper.
The network executives obviously thought this was some funny shit, otherwise it never would have gotten aired. It tells you something about those times.
Ever seen the netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight? Way worse scenario but i had a similar reaction watching that i.e. "how the fuck is he getting away with that?"
I think most people at the time genuinely were naive enough to think this guy was just innocently fond of the kids and it was all paternal and affectionate, or part of an act. People were naive to how common pedophilia is or the extent to which it would be played off - even to us incredibly clumsily - by a cover like this.
Nowadays, the pedophile panic is getting ridiculous. It has gone so far that if a gay teacher even mentions their husband or wife, people freak and start to scream about "grooming". So in some sense, things were better in the past.
The thing people don’t realize is that almost everything has gotten better with time. The world is improving in almost every single way, but it’s more profitable to sell the “we’re doomed” narrative.
It's so silly to talk about billions of people around the globe as being a monolith named "the boomers". Some things were better. Some things are better now. Plenty of dumb parents today send their kids to learn from the wise priests who behave in similar ways. Your generation are a god-send that will surely be different to all the rest, full of trailblazing, hyper-intelligent, virtuous heroes.
A quick search produces some background. The show "Just Like Mom" was created by and co-starred Catherine Swing. After a different host the first year, Fergie Olver, a former baseball player and later Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster, who was married to Swing, joined her as host. Their two daughters also appeared on the show. The idea of the game was to find out which mother-daughter pair knew each other best.
Me too, this might be one of the worst videos I've ever seen. It was a different kind of cringe than the traditional embarrassing cringe. I usually like cringe but for this I could barely watch it
Just saying that I can't watch this again. Not because it doesn't belong here, but because it does. Bill Burr sums this clip up beautifully. Where were the fathers? Cheering crowds, nothing, a man stands up for what's right even when he's the only one that sees it.
Even with the variance of greetings/affection from different decades and countries, this is just too blatantly creepy to be an ongoing thing on TV in Canada..
At first I was like meh maybe it’s another woke bs video but holy shiiiieeetttt the first 10 seconds I was cringing then when he kissed her I couldn’t continue.
I couldn't watch past the second girl and the fucking weird Seinfeld porno sounding music. I put myself in their shoes and I feel so bad for those girls. What in the actual fuck. Host of the Groomer show.
If I was a parent waiting in the wing and saw him do that to my kid you know I would have walked on and smacked the shit out of him. Was it really that different a world back then that stuff like this was okay to do to little girls?

SNL
*Richard Dawson. Same bit but he perved on grown women and teenagers.
Pure fucking nightmare. It's weird no parent fucked him up.
They were even cheering when he pressured Tracy into giving one. Fucking disgusting.

Look up Jimmy Saville and with what he got away
I remember this used to make the rounds regularly in
And 2000 then was the 20k of now since the algorithm change
It’s weird how I still think 2013 is only a few years ago, but it’s actually almost a decade ago.
This is some real cringe
dirty old man comment had him, he needs castrating.
This was awful and I only made it to the second forced kiss and fucking died of cringitis. Castrating is too kind, dude needs to fall feet first into a woodchipper.
How can you look at this video and comment "he needs castrating"? What an insane thing to say.
How the fuck did this shit even get aired?

Make America rapey again
Just wait till you reminisce about your era.

Ah
Holy shit Mfer deadass kissed a child
Multiple children*
Why are you so shocked?
easily the hardest thing I’ve watched on this sub. I couldn’t get through the second example. Fucking terrifying.
It got me pretty hard too.
Wow I actually had a visceral physical reaction to this 🤢 Disgusting.

Yep, that’s him. And why, look at that,
Anyone else wondering if there's any scandals involving the host?
This is the first Video I've seen here that made me thus uncomfortable. That entire clip was wrong and weird. Wtf.
Me too, this might be one of the worst videos I've ever seen. It was a different kind of cringe than the traditional embarrassing cringe. I usually like cringe but for this I could barely watch it
This fucker is still alive. If there hasn't been an investigation, there bloody well should be.
What’s his name?? Been looking through the comments and I’m dying to know who this MF is?
Investigation of what?
What in the cinnamon toast fuck
Reminds me of
Dude, what the fuck.
I prefer this Richard Dawson.
Cheap Richard Dawson
[удалено]
Pervert.
This really pissed me off.
Actually hurtful to watch
To be fair, Lee Ann was acting like a tease!
I can't even watch that it makes me so uncomfortable. I can only imagine how uncomfortable those kids felt
My grandmother still remembers watching this and feeling sick to her stomach
Jesus fucking Christ! This was horrible. Those poor kids are so uncomfortable.
WHAT
Just saying that I can't watch this again. Not because it doesn't belong here, but because it does. Bill Burr sums this clip up beautifully. Where were the fathers? Cheering crowds, nothing, a man stands up for what's right even when he's the only one that sees it.
Could get past the first part. Awful.
Apparently he is still alive? I hope his caretaker flicks him in his lips every time he talks.
Ug. My childhood. I’m regularly shocked I wasn’t completely turned off to men. I should have been.
Wtf, how they allowed this shit?!!
Cringe so hard I’m cramping
what in the actual fuck.
Modern day republicans
You mean Democrats...led by Joe "Handsy" Biden and his Son Hunter "Cracker" Biden.
I grew up kissing my parents and close relatives. I think he's trying to play up being a close family friend? Aged like milk though.
How in the fucking fuck did a bunch of people let this go on and get televised.
I’ve always had a bad feeling about canadians
With their beady little eyes..
Sor-ry.
The same people talking shit here are supporting Disney over DeSantis...🤪
What the FUCK.
ooof made it 14 seconds
Is this Joe Biden?
No, it's a close friend of Trump
get a new joke
🤮
Umm, have you ever seen Richard Dawson on family feud? This is nothing
Family feud is all adults.
Even with the variance of greetings/affection from different decades and countries, this is just too blatantly creepy to be an ongoing thing on TV in Canada..
Ew what the actual fuck. If I was a parent of one of those kids I'd be fucking him up so bad he couldn't show his face on TV anymore.
I forgot about this dude
At first I was like meh maybe it’s another woke bs video but holy shiiiieeetttt the first 10 seconds I was cringing then when he kissed her I couldn’t continue.
Dude wtf.
Now then, now then....
Cant even watch this. Pure cringe. Fuck....
I couldn't watch past the second girl and the fucking weird Seinfeld porno sounding music. I put myself in their shoes and I feel so bad for those girls. What in the actual fuck. Host of the Groomer show.
Who is this nonce?
I like how the word perv looks like a compliment next to what should’ve been written on his p*do face
Eww. Had to stop watching after 10 seconds 🤢
That was hard to watch wtf
Fergie Oliver.
WTF 😳
Savile vibes. Fucking disgusting people.
Was he ever convicted? Seriously, at some point you have to wonder when the rubber meets the road with "creepy guys"
What a Pedo, has he been charged with sex offences? Worse than Jimmy Saville!.
This is actually fucking disgusting
Please STOP posting this pedo
people still haven't seen this clip?? clip has been re posted like a billion times.
Thats a pedo, what a bold move to show in the whole country that you are a maniac

Imagine being a parent and dumbly cheering when a pedophile kisses your preteen child on her mouth before millions of viewers. Escapes me.
If I was a parent waiting in the wing and saw him do that to my kid you know I would have walked on and smacked the shit out of him. Was it really that different a world back then that stuff like this was okay to do to little girls?
I didn't know Joe Biden changed his name. Didn't know he was a game show host before going into politics either.
I wanna go back in time to that stage to give him a nice old Will Smith slap round his face.
The curb stomp scene from American History X comes to mind right about now.
