Five More Reasons Why Tyra Banks Has To Go

Posted Jun 21st 2007 10:37PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

Clearly, the first time I did this post last November didn't work.

So I'm going to try again.

My relationship for Tyra Banks can be described as a hate-hate relationship.

'The Tyra Banks Show,' while highly successful in the ratings, has to be easily the most annoying, pointless, it's all about me (as in Tyra) talk show on the air.

Once again, I have the clips to back it up!

Enjoy, and I look forward to reading the "Death to Marcus" comments.

And Tyra, if you read this, have your people call my people and book me for your awful show.

You're welcome.

5. Tyra's Tips: How to Look Slimmer



Doesn't this whole tip go against Tyra's views about being happy with her body image? She made a big stink over those less then flattering photos of her and told folks to kiss her fat ass, but is giving tips in order to hide that fat ass? I don't get it.

4. Tyra's Secret Toilet Tip



OK, just eww! It took you all these years to realize that if you're squatting that maybe your panties aren't around your ankles and away from the toilet seat? Thank you Tyra for pointing out that great observations. Women's panties across the world thank you for saving them for that dribble of urine left on the toilet seat.

3. Tyra and the Playdo Dookie



Do you notice a pattern yet? Another bathroom related topic, but this time it involves making No. 2, not No.1. Dookie?!? What are you, 11? FYI, I don't need to know that you release small "dookie" balls when you use the bathroom, Tyra.

2. Tyra Banks Feels Katharine McPhee's Breasts



This is not the only time Tyra has grabbed on a woman's breasts. Remember the Rosie O'Donnell cop-a-feel? Who knows what the deal is behind the fascination with the breasts but keep your hands to yourself next time -- or touch your own.

1. Tyra Falls Over!



Hands down, the best clip from the 'Tyra Banks Show' in the last eight months or so, is Tyra falling out of her chair at the sight of this furry little creature. Mind you the porcupine is just chillin' on the table, minding its business, while Tyra is tumbling out of her seat. If you're that scared of animals, how about you not schedule them for your show? But that's right, you have to find a way to steal the spotlight from the poor porcupine and make it all about you.

1. Marcus, cut Tyra some slack. some of use appreciate the how to look slimmer tips.

Lisa at 10:08PM on Jun 21st 2007

2. Wow...thats alot of hating. I'm proud of her personally. We need more black personalities on our airwaves.

Martez Knox at 12:17AM on Jun 22nd 2007

3. Hummmmm,all i can say is jealousy is a sin. You need to go pray, MARCUS, about your issue with Tyra. I'm pretty sure you are probably the last person in the world she cares about. Take some of that hating energy and put it to good use elsewhere. She already did her now do you!!!!

Gwen at 1:07AM on Jun 22nd 2007

4. Although I love Tyra, the topic's and the guest on her show, I don't watch much because I get tired of Tyra interrupting her guest in mid sentence to talk about herself, as soon as her guest say something she goes "Oh! me too" then she take about 2mins talking about her. When she stop doing this, I'll return as a faithful watcher..XO, MB

Asia at 1:46AM on Jun 22nd 2007

5. I LOVE TYRA SHE IS VERY HONEST ABOUT ALL OF HER FAULTS. BLACK MEN SHOULD NOT HATE BLACK WOMEN. MARCUS IS EITHER GAY OR DATES A WHITE GIRL WITH NO BUT AND STRINGY HAIR-
SERIOUSLY

Shawnte at 3:11AM on Jun 22nd 2007

6. Yes I definately think that Marcus is a gay man. Why else would he continue to be so negative about Tyra.

Dear Marcus,

It is OK to be gay. Please come out of the closet and then you will not be so jealous of Ms. Tyra. She is a positive role model for all black women and she seems very nice. She is not naked, drunk or high like Paris Britney and all those other "trainwrecks" Please come out of the closet and then you will nt have to be so jealous of her, and you will feel better about yourself and maybe find a boyfriend.-You seem sad and lonely.

7. Although I don't watch her show (talk shows don't really appeal to me) I don't have anything against the woman trying to make it in this world. Evidently, she has decent enough ratings to stay on the air. I say more power to her if she's made it this far. If you don't like it, then don't watch the show.

Connie at 6:15AM on Jun 22nd 2007

8. Marcus I'm a fan of American Next Top Model, but I totally agree with you on Tyra's talk show. The show is soooo pointless. Last time I caught an episode, she had a girl on with uncontrolable sweat glands. I don't want to see some sweaty girl on tv crying! Like more moisture is what she needs. I'm with you, the show has got to go.

Courtney at 8:12AM on Jun 22nd 2007

9. wow!! that's to much! u need 2 realy lay off tyra i love her and i think she is doing a great job! she is real and tell it like it is she has two shows and they all are doing great so it looks like a lot of other people can agree with me. ps i will pray for u

stephanie at 8:48AM on Jun 22nd 2007

10. Yo Marcia,

Freak boy, she is a model and thats her thing, her topics is what whats she knows, caters to a certain demographics woman 18-25 usually those that are vain,and/or anal. So, with that said you keep doing what your doing "girlie man, Miss thang," I am very sure that nobody whats to hear what your doing. As I see it this is the best spot for you and that is writing for BV, that way we dont have to here about your possible topics if you had a TV show for example one such topic would be "How to erase skidd marks from the back of your throat" Fisting, and "which fabric softner best gets rid of unsightly dookie lines from your drawers, and last but not lease "Who got the bigger crotches football or basketball mens and which can bring it on home". Some advice "sissy boy" A real man isn't going to cat fight with a woman, So, find another avenue to come out of the close like being up front ( or should I say from the back) PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!

11. Your right marcus , It's funny though . When black wemen bad mouth us it's o.k even funny. .But if we say anything about them we are gay or this and that. The truth hurt's

Mark at 9:23AM on Jun 22nd 2007

12. yo marcus wats goin on wit the hate man did u try to get wit tyra an she played or sumthin or did her tips jus not work for u lol stop the hate man put it to better use like in ur appearance cause u look a hot mess to tell the truth

rashaad at 9:41AM on Jun 22nd 2007

13. It is really a shame to be so jealous of a beautiful African American woman who is talented and hard-working!! Not only does she has 1 show but she has 2 shows,...and what do you have...jealousy, hate and a waste of everybody's time and trying desperately to get attention even if it's in a form of harassment!! Get a life...WHOEVER you are...and find a boyfriend!!

Marie at 9:48AM on Jun 22nd 2007

14. Come on Marcus stop it! Tyra is doing a great job.

Sandra at 9:52AM on Jun 22nd 2007

15. Marcus, I am truly amazed with the advancement of technology that has brought us so far. I am not sure if you are up on the current trends, but there is a populer device that fits in the palm of your hand, often referred to as a "remote control." This state-of-the-art device allows you to "CHANGE THE DAMN CHANNEL!!!!!"

Stop hatin on a sister. She is doin it!!!! She is not a goldigger, on drugs, or living off her parents money. Furthermore, she not streched over a car or shaking her butt in some rapper's video. She is a successful black woman making her own money. And by the way Mark, I support black men and women who are doing great things!!
