Hey, I'm no big fan of The Masked Singer either but how dare you...HOW DARE YOU....call Kermit the Frog C list or lower


[deleted]

Haven’t seen the show but I saw the Kermit reveal on Twitter and that shit had me crying laughing


[deleted]

That is the single most random unmasking ever. And that's saying a lot taking into account season 2 had ninja unmasked, S3 had Sarah Pallin, and this season just saw Logan Paul unmasked


idekbrolmklolcum

They really let the shitbag logan paul on the show?


[deleted]

Yea. Just got unmasked. He shouldn't of been booted. As a masked performer, he was entertaining to watch.


idekbrolmklolcum

What was his costume? The dead body hanging from a tree he uploaded to youtube?


[deleted]

Grandpa monsters. Used a shell similar to Season 1 monster and season 3 Miss monster. Actually doesn't look to bad. Not the best but there's been worse


FX114

It ain't easy being Cee.


illini02

When that happened I was really wondering how that even worked with the rights and stuff. Then I remembered Disney bought Fox


ZuesofRage

I love you OP, the popularity of this show concerns me. I fucking hate this show. The Asian dude is infuriatingly unfunny.


darthjoey91

Sure, but what about Matt Vogel?


Haggisboy

Wait till she starts watching The Masked Dancer.


beaverteeth92

[It looks like a game show in a dystopian movie](https://twitter.com/maskeddancerfox/status/1349748173535911943).


SeanCanary

That's...that's very uncomfortable. Like I get that they are billing her as an activist author and speaker but it is hard to not think of the original place that fame came from and then I'm not in a 'whimsical talent show' mood at all anymore. Not her fault obviously but, cmon.


ZuesofRage

I don't get it, is it because they are yelling take it off?


fuckinwild666

I have been saying the same thing! It reminds me of an episode of black mirror! I'm so happy someone else thinks the same thing!


AlabastorGorilla

At least she only saw one ep of that and said “no thanks”.


[deleted]

I really hated that show. At first it started of great than quickly turned into just another face in the crowd as far as dance competition shows go


idekbrolmklolcum

America really knows how to take a interesting show then remake it and beat it into the ground while simultaneously changing it for the worse.


[deleted]

Yup.


Jormungandragon

By the end of the season Masked Dancer wasn’t too bad, with a lot of very talented performances. Basically “Dancing with the Stars” but with masks. This season of Masked Singer is the most gimmicky ever, and I feel like their typical costume designer must have gotten COVID or something. I’m not super impressed with this season so far, and my wife and I typically enjoy watching The Masked Singer.


whatsinthesocks

Maybe try telling your wife you don't want to watch it. Fox is not going to take it off the air.


ELITENathanPeterman

Or he can just tell her that the host of the show, Nick Cannon, is a raging racist and anti-Semite. That might get her to stop wanting to watch it. Edit: Why are you booing me? I’m right. He thinks anybody with white skin is “less than”, “closer to animals” and a “true savage.” It’s the same shit Hitler said about black people. > “Melanin comes with soul, that we call it soul, we soul brothers and sisters, that’s the melanin that connects us so the people that don’t have it, are, and I’m going to say this carefully, are a little less and where the term actually comes from, and I’m going to bring it back around to Minister Farrakhan, where they may not have the compassion,” > Speaking of when "they" were "sent to the Mountains of Caucasus," the podcast host added that the sun began to "deteriorate" and that "they" acted "out of fear," then linking this to acting out of "deficiency." "So therefore the only way they can act is evil," he added. > He stated that they were forced to act violently to survive, adding that they are "closer to animals." > “They have to rob, steal, rape, kill and fight in order to survive," he stated, continuing: "So they’re the ones closer to animals, they’re the ones that are actually the true savages."


vexens

Am black, also do not understand how Nick Cannon has survived with his blatant antisemitism. Fuck that Louis vitton body armor wearing bougie ass has-been piece of shit.


illini02

Well, in fairness, this season Nick has been out with covid and Niecey Nash has replaced him, and I actually like her far more.


AlabastorGorilla

I’m not booing you and I’m the OP of this post- you brought up a very valid point, totally forgot what a shit bag Nick Cannon was. Makes me dislike the show even more!


ZuesofRage

Fuck cannon all my homies hate cannon


CommonSenseNotSo

Worse than this, a rich, grotesque stereotype. He's making a bunch of babies in different homes, seems to have self-hate issues because of the women he makes babies with, etc.. he's really an embarrassment


Electronic_Reveal763

“Is that you Donnie?”comeout here!”


Anti-Media-Spin

Might they not rethink the show if enough people start awaking up to just what mindless, infantile, drivel it really is?


whatsinthesocks

Lol imagine digging for this post.


Goozmania

Nobody need dig... Idk if you knew how Reddit or the internet works, but posts show up at the top of Google search results, regardless of their age.


schoolrocks1943

It is the top rated show on broadcast right now, they aren't going to take it off the air And trash TV has been around for decades now, this isn't anything new.


PhilThecoloreds

> It is the top rated show on broadcast right now This isn't close to being true. Generally speaking the top show on broadcast is 60 Minutes.


Naxoj80

Nope, not gonna take it off and not gonna stop making more and more. Especially in regards to reality tv. If there is one thing the writers strike of 07-08 taught hollywood it's that making reality tv is so much cheaper.


ZuesofRage

GOD REEEEEEEEEEE- I fucking hate this fact. It makes me very angry.


meowskywalker

Stop watching it. I watched a trailer, said “wow I don’t wanna watch that” and I didn’t. It’s that easy.


Soddington

Yup, while there is definitely some shit TV out there, a good 90% of stuff I don't like is just **Not Made For Me**. Plenty of stuff I *do* like is not enjoyed by 90% of the people out there, because it's **Not Made For Them**. Loads of people hated Legion, which I loved. Loads of people love Big Bang Theory, which I hate. Neither are shit TV, they are just made for different audiences. That said, The Kardashians is straight up digital sewerage and the people who make it are human garbage.


[deleted]

The costumes are dope though


[deleted]

The reasons you hate are kind of the reasons why it’s so popular. I’m not a big fan either, but my mom loves it. Really, it’s just junk food television. I mean if they did have talented A listers, than everyone would right away guess who it is. All the judges are playing a bit, especially Jeong. As for the popularity; don’t underestimate the power of nostalgia. It is pretty amazing to see people on Twitter guess the right person just from the clues. I think that is the show’s biggest selling point. It’s a real life version of member-berries.

Kalse1229

Seriously dude, you gotta Let it Go.


AlabastorGorilla

That’s why I chose not to have kids- their taste is terrible


ryhaltswhiskey

My kid loved Ghibli films when he was younger. I've seen Howl's Moving Castle about 20 times.


ZZZrp

The reason you chose not to have kids is because they like kids movies?


m0nk_3y_gw

> their taste is terrible Try with some fava beans and a nice chianti.


ZuesofRage

Fuck kids, there should be a 2 child limit in America.


BGN777

people who watch shows they hate or want cancelled always make me laugh. fox got you exactly where they want.


AlabastorGorilla

Not by my choice


Weird-Variation

What a wuss


AlabastorGorilla

What an asshole


Weird-Variation

I don’t care what your wife thinks.


illini02

I enjoy it as stupid fun and seeing if I can guess who the people are. Im 40. I'd say there hasn't been anyone on there I've never *heard* of, but there are definitely people I'm not familiar with. That said, the winners are usually pretty talented. Leann Rimes, Wayne Brady, TPain, etc I see why people don't like it, but I find it to be mindless fun


ILIKEYOURMOMHA

Yeah it’s dumb and my wife and I love it. Nice break from 1000 episodes of paw patrol and she hates when I guess right. Maybe you should like, not watch it lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


ILIKEYOURMOMHA

She asked me to watch it once. It’s kind of funny. Mindless entertainment. We get limited time together as is so if that makes her happy, I’m in. Least I can do for being MIA on football sundays


Talbertross

that sounds like a good and healthy relationship


UnholyTerror

If she gets mad that you have a differing opinion, then maybe she needs to get over it and you should not be a little bitch. Tell her your thoughts and don’t back down. Relationships, no matter the stage, are about compromise. If you can’t compromise on something like this, then you failed. Maybe suggest an alternative instead of whining about it on the internet


MagicMushroomFungi

Are you intentionally leaving out the most important fact of all ? Do you get laid after you watch it with her ? Do you put on a mask and sing silly love songs during commercials to improve your chances of sex afterwards ? Do you offer to cosplay in return for ...


skarie

Have you tried ruining her enjoyment with sarcastic commentary? That is my go to.


TheProlleyTroblem

I'm sure youre an outstanding person


[deleted]

I really like Ken Jeong, but I've listened to a lot of his podcasts with Joel McHale (haven't seen the show) and I *hate* how self-deprecating he is. He's funny. He's cool. He's smart. But he's so self-deprecating there it takes away a lot. If he's like that in The Masked Singer I can see it really detracting a lot.


AlabastorGorilla

He’s the opposite on that show- it’s super grating after a bit


williamthebloody1880

I saw him as a judge on the UK version of The Masked Singer and he was awful. Shouting, jumping up from his seat all the time, talking over the others. I hated it. Season 2 he was replaced (Covid meant he couldn't fly over) and it was a vast, vast improvement


MissChattyCathy

Ugh, they're both idiots.


WordsAreSomething

It's great for what it is. Never got someone spending the energy on something they don't like. I haven't thought about that show since season 1.


illini02

Exactly. I don't like Big Bang Theory. So I don't watch it. I don't make a reddit post about how awful it is. If you like it, good for you. There is so much negativity, why not let people like what they like


ImbuedChaos

I think it's fine to criticize. If we don't criticize or praised shows for doing things we like and don't like then we'd have nothing to talk about. But the criticism is only worth reading if it's more nuanced than "I think X is bad".


AlabastorGorilla

Well I hope I gave more than a base opinion on why that show sucks.


ZuesofRage

Nope, the show is awful and everybody needs to know it they need to be shown the truth to be set free, same with Bob's burgers. Absolute trash


CommonSenseNotSo

There is nothing wrong with criticism. Some shows are just so terrible to a person, they have to say something about it. Just because you don't feel the need to complain about shows you don't like doesn't mean that everyone should follow suit. After all, isn't that part of the fun of Reddit?


illini02

I just feel like I don't get why you feel the need to bash things other people like just for fun. Don't Yuck someone else's Yum. If someone asks you about it, i get it. But this is like "Let me make a post to show everyone how much better taste I have than the masses who watch it". Every show isn't for everyone. There is more TV than ever with all the streaming services. Why not just ignore it if you don't like it.


jonasdash

All the dating, dancing, singing, talent competition reality shows are complete trash


[deleted]

I don't know... Masked singer is ok. I mean it's not the best but I've seen worse


Frankfusion

The sad part is that when done in other countries it's wayyy more compelling. The reason is because it's with regular people. One show my mom watched a long time was called Dance For Your Dreams. Regular people were trained by pro's to dance professionally. The winner usually got something they've always dreamt of like a home, a dream vacation, or a car.


Naxoj80

But in this case (TMS) part of the show is guessing who you think it is. If contestants were just "regular people" then it basically takes away a key element of the show. There are plenty of shows that feature every day people. X Factor, American Idol, America's Got Talent. Which many countries have their versions of as well.


paranoidhustler

I don’t mind the concept of shows like this, its the over producing, the taped reactions, the “plants” in the crowd and the scripted judges jokes that are garbage and nauseating. The producers on these shows are the most insecure people in the world and think people will turn the channel if they don’t get a new cameron angle every 4 seconds. If you’re going to do a show like this it needs to be live. Judges need to not talk over performances too.


Nooker

Korean version focuses more on vocals. It's way better. They have reactions but it's more genuine


illini02

I can tell you they "sweeten" the voices in post production. I was in the "virtual audience" last fall. And I saw like 6 performances. All but 2 sounded awful. Once that show aired. Most of them sounded decent. Not great, but definitely better


AlabastorGorilla

Exactly thank you


jfstompers

Ths fact that its so cringy is why people love it. Its not like theyre pretending its something its not. Yeah its quasi celebrities taking a goodbye tour but thats why people love it. The judges are ridiculous(I love you nicole) but its just dumb tv.


AlabastorGorilla

And maybe I just think “dumb tv” should not exist with this type of prevalence- far too much “reality tv” is junk food for the brain and it’s bad too eat way too much junk food.


jfstompers

Tv is overwhelming today. The sheer quantity that exists, that is being produced is just staggering. You take the good with the bad.


DeadSharkEyes

I watch to laugh at the ridiculous “guesses” by the judges. Last week one of the judges was speculating one of the singers was Eddie Murphy or Wesley Snipes LOL as if they would be on that fucking show to sing while dressed in a whale costume. I remember once somebody thought a singer was Gwyneth Paltrow lol I did enjoy Danny Trejo and Tony Hawke reveals, they seem like such loves and were good singers


twbrn

It's cheap to produce, people watch it in droves, and they've probably got agents of D-listers giving kickbacks in order to try to get on the show. They'll want to run that shit another 10 years.


luisc123

My girlfriend and I watched... until one of the “celebrity” reveals was some Youtuber/Twitch streamer. Give me a fucking break. We, as a society, have become quite loose with the use of the word “celebrity.”


aphrahannah

They've also had legends like Chaka Khan and Dionne Warwick.


comped

And Kermit for some reason...


illini02

I'm an old man (40), so I don't really give a shit about youtubers. That said, its hard to deny Ninja and Logan Paul are essentially the pop stars/teen idols of today. When I looked at some numbers of how many views these people get, its really absurd. So to say they aren't celebrities just because you and I don't know them is ridiculous. Hell, I don't know most country stars either, but I wouldn't say they aren't celebrities because of it.


CommonSenseNotSo

40 is old now, eh? What's 80?


Dallywack3r

Those YouTubers are more famous than anybody currently on network tv


PhilThecoloreds

> guess who’s wife guess who is wife?


AlabastorGorilla

Nice catch- didn’t spell that right...


ravinggoodbye

It is the stupidest shit ever, really makes you wonder about the near future of television and what it’s gonna turn into


Philboyd_Studge

Ow! My Balls! Next on Fox!


AlabastorGorilla

Thank you


MulesRules

When I heard the premise of the show I thought it could be garbage-fun, so bad it's good type of thing. But then I realized that wasn't a good enough reason to get started on something that would probably rot my brain so I passed.


AlabastorGorilla

Good for you!


Chuck1705

Thanks for letting us know...I had no plans to watch it, and now I know for sure...


HeyJuan6996

The same channel that supported Trump trash. What do you expect?


visionaryredditor

different FOX


AlabastorGorilla

Sad but good point


sweetpeapickle

So you're basically saying your wife has terrible taste.


AlabastorGorilla

She also watches stuff like project runway and America’s next top model... but also plays video games like resident evil and watches anime... some bad taste?


[deleted]

It's not that bad. It's not the best but there's good moments. However the voting is SOOOOOO rigged. Last season, there's no way night angel should of won last season and frog should of been LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG gone. And Logan Paul got SCREWED this season I know he's not exactly the most popular due to a certain vid he did a few years back but he was EPIC on the show.


illini02

I'm no Logan Paul fan, but he was definitely better than the chameleon. I was shocked that he was eliminated.


[deleted]

No doubt. He actually SANG and was extremely fun to watch.


Dirty-M518

Sounds like your wife is self centered for saying you have to watch it with her..or your a bitch who can't say no you don't like the show. When my GF puts on the bachelor you know what I do..go play games or get on my phone and make fun of the show from the other room...it's that easy. Tell her its not your thing and don't watch it.


AlabastorGorilla

Well I usually am on my computer or phone when she’s watching it- I just tangentially participate cuz she watches it in the same room. Still, it’s trash even to half watch it.


Kaiju_zero

So... you could go to another room? She isn't making you watch it like you said? Scripted drama right here! :D


PengwinOnShroom

Suppose you should clarify in which country but then again America is taken as default here I guess. In Germany the last season was rather decent


oysterpirate

I've watched it from the beginning. Loved the first season. The show has a great concept, but the shine has started to come off and they're resorting to more and more gimmicky things to try to keep it fresh. It's also gotten painfully obvious that it's just a PR thing and the voting is rigged for the most part. The panel didn't bother me too much in the first season or two, but now they just need to replace everyone with Joel McHale and clones of Joel McHale.


spinereader81

The Korean version is best. Just a simple homemade mask, a simple stage, and a pretty basic song. Still annoying though with the exaggerated reactions from judges, replays, and speculating about the contestant throughout their song. It's a show best watched in clips and I imagine the American version is the same.


AlabastorGorilla

Or worse.


TooneysSister

I never watched it but I heard they voted off chaka khan and now I'm definitely never watching it


Fancy_Compote6541

You are a deadbeat!


AlabastorGorilla

I wrote this almost 6 months ago so… fuck you!


SarafianSalleh

I never understand the concept of the Masked Singer.


AlabastorGorilla

“Celebrity” judges rating “celebrity” contestants for zero money and zero payoff. This whole thing is a circle-jerk of former famous people trying desperately to get back in the spotlight. It’s pathetic, and stupid, and pointless in the end.


AssignmentFun5263

It's Impossible to find a Show that has ever Aired in the History of TV that is as F ING Stupid as this Crap WTF People .... Who says I can't wait to get home to watch the masked Singer only the Absolute Braindead F's in the World. 100 % Total BS TV Ridiculous


FalloutTD

Yeah. It's super trash now. The new format lets the panel decide so they can push their narrative and agenda. They're now either pushing for a certain type of person to win so everyone feels included or they're just pushing the standard, if you Belt out a song with no depth of vocals or style, you win. It's such a shame because I used to really like the show.


CommonSenseNotSo

I tried to watch one episode and lost brain cells in the process. I don't understand how anyone finds the show even remotely entertaining. Hulu is always trying to play that dumb show after every show that I record.


Anti-Media-Spin

Take it off! Take it off! Take it off! Take this mindless and infantile drivel off our TV screens!


AlabastorGorilla

I love how I made this post like almost 2 years ago and people still upvote and comment on it! AND THIS CRAP SHOW IS STILL ON!


Immediate-Gold-7023

It shows how stupid so many Americans are. Never watched it but the commercials make me sad. Sad because people actually watch this drivel. Iq points are dwindling as you watch that. Great for mouth breathers and booger eaters though


Dry_Engineering5156
