Oprah's Favorite Things For Summer: The Over-The-Top Crowd Reaction (VIDEO)

Despite Oprah's best efforts, her producers forced her to air an "Oprah's Favorite Things for Summer" episode, where she gave away things like bathing suits and grills and makeup. The giveaways were decidedly more low-key than her traditional pre-holiday "Oprah's Favorite Things" episode, but the crowd reactions were not. Below watch the screams, the hugs, the tears, and the freak-outs:

From ABC, 5/16

For a reminder of what the crowd's reaction was like last winter, watch the video here.

chromodynamics,

Thanks Hero!!

[chronic]

More proof that we are in an economy that isnt working for all of us. Just the rich as they throw us goodies!

[AtlGuyNextDoor]

If anyone can find video of this, you'll be my hero. This was from a skit from SNL back in '04 hosted by Megan Mullally spoofing Oprah's Favorite Things. The absolute funniest thing I've EVER seen!

LOL! Thanks for the link...love the woman who wets her pants over a free pair of UGG boots. The drug companies who sell bladder control pills might thank SNL and seize upon the opportunity to sponsor Oprah's next Fave Things.

whorish greed at it's finest.

" and you shall be known by the company you keep."

I'd be screaming too! The thought of getting anything free would probably cause me to spin around in circles. I say kudos to them and God bless Oprah and it's obvious that He has. I take my hat off to her. Anyone who gives like she does..........I have no beef with them.

[samandally]

Ann1, she is only a maketing tool (shill) for these companies.Oh and God bless Oprah for the ultimate in self promotion as usual.

[bigironal25]

Ann1: God bless Oprah? Are you kidding? Oh I get it, you're one of those crazy's that believe in an invisible person who lives in the clouds right? You screwballs are just too funny!You know what, take a dump in one hand and pray to your invisible buddy in the other and see witch hand fills up first! Get it?

I'm embarrassed to be a human being right now. And, what was with the yellow flower on that woman's shirt?

[nicole5]

I'm just speechless. This is truly disgusting, these women are a total embarrassment. I had to watch this video twice before I could believe it was real and not a spoof. I'm totally speechless.

Oprah opened a school for girls in africa, she was asked why she didn't do something like that in America. Oprah said the kids here wouldn't appreciate it, they would just want some new sneakers or something. Oprah is too stupid to understand how children are brainwashed by the age of 4 by their TV marketing to them. Oprah is the worlds biggest promoter of consumerism, always whoreing with Oprah's Stuff, sell, sell, sell.

[raker]

Just as disgusting as the audience's orgasms was when Oprah brought out Donald Trump for a big fake "I love Mar-a-Lago's turkey burger!" in a very long segment that looked a lot like an ad for the Trump brand. Our phony turkey-bologna Oprah had hugs and kisses for the man who, when needled by Rosie O'Donnell, promptly went on TV, not to challenge what she said, but to call her fat and ugly. Not very Oprah-ish, yet he seemed a good match for the ugly consumerism orgy of today's Oprah show.

[eXcommunicate]

This is just... wow....

If Oprah announced she was paying all their bills for 1 year, then yeah, I'd jump up and down like a fucking banshee. But to get Oprah's favorite book case and home appliance? I'd be decidedly less geeked.

[AtlGuyNextDoor]

UnF*****Gbelievable....

Those women are pathetic...Okay, if you told me I''d never have to pay taxes or any more bills for the rest of my life, then I'd react that way...Otherwise, no.

[foreverdemocrat]

AGREED. Good Lord Almighty, you'd think these mall-rats just won a $500,000,000 lottery!

[dannyS]

The materialism and consumerism are sickening.
They're not human beings, they're human buyings.

[ArabianMonkey]

The human buyings are everywhere - consumerism at its grossest is around here in parts of my wacky Arab region. Wild!! Isn't gluttony one of the seven capital vices? hmmmm
