The Osbournes Want to Believe

This is focused on the Osbournes firstly, with the videos (often either well known already, or not exactly earthshaking in their content...by design) coming in second.

It's a confirmed believer & host of multiple paranormal shows over the last dozen years presenting some well known & higher quality videos as examples, punctuated by some intentional duds, to his parents. Their collective reactions are the entertaining heart of the show. It just so happens that his mum is a famous tv presenter & talk host, and his father is "The Prince of Darkness" (as the old publicity trumpeted) who himself is quite sedate & normal.

It works! Nobody's trying to inform or convince *you* -just allowing *you* witness entertaining family dynamics from a family who are entertaining individuals, and more so collectively!

Faaaar more "normal" than the old reality show!

There was no new episode last Sunday, is the show still on the air?

This show's a crackup. I enjoy the interaction between Jack and his parents. They're funny. Some of the clips are bizarre and make you want to believe and some seem staged but they're all entertaining to watch.

I absolutely love this show! I am a huge fan and believer in the paranormal so combining that with the comedy between Sharon and Ozzy is just awesome! You might not always agree with what they believe and don't believe but hey it's their own opinion. Also, that episode with all of the dolphin talk had my wife and I rolling. Wish there were more episodes but hopefully there will be another season and soon!

Jack explaining science is like Katy Perry talking about the intricacies of the Cold War (i.e. Attempting to, with her 11-word vocabulary and zero knowledge of the world). Jack explaining science is like a hamster describing its intentions to take the NBA by storm. Jack blathering about gravity, forces, and momentum is like an amoeba collecting small pebbles and sticks in order to build a rocket to the Moon.

Jack theorizing about the fakeness of the Moon landings is like Pol Pot accusing his victims of being serial-killers. Jack babbling about Physics is the end of the world, pretty much. We've hit rock-bottom. Soros has won, we've all lost. Dumb is smart, and smart is dumb. Good is evil, and evil is good. Up is down, and down is up. They can even make you believe that elephants are smaller than mosquitoes, because that's the kind of intelligence level they're dealing with among their future serfs. Why wouldn't they? Droves of morons are just waiting to be served the next batch of nonsense, which they will happily adopt as their new Commandments, without asking questions, without having doubts. A zombie army ready to turn the world into garbage. The plan worked. The Frankfurt School has won.

Just how desperate must one be for a "show biz" career to actually stoop this low - to actually join all the other ghost-house/UFO losers in their quest to earn a pittance while helping dumb-down the dumbed-down even more, if that's even possible.

About as desperate as Jack Osbourne, and that's probably as desperate as you can get. This entitled little balloon doesn't even need this gig in order to survive, he's set for life, and yet he agrees to host this and several other abysmal plebby shows geared for the lowest of the low, for the most inept of audiences, simply because his frail Ego needs a support system. He needs to know that somebody gives a hoot about what he's doing, what he's saying... Can't he just open an Instagram account like all the other narcissistic layabouts?

Just like Sharon, he is prepared to do literally anything for an additional buck. Using cheesy special effects that make trashy found-footage horror films seem like "The Shining" by comparison, Jack plays stupid clip after stupid clip to Sharon and Ozzy, trying to "convince" his parents that BS isn't BS, that science is the real BS.

Of course, the witch and the bewildered clown humour him, alternating between pretending to be impressed and pretending to be skeptical. The key word here being "pretend". Jack pretends he is playing real clips, and the Evil Twosome pretend they are taking it at least somewhat seriously.

Alas, the boredom is simply written on their faces, they can't fake it away, try "hard" as they might. Not that they do try very hard, something that is cringingly obvious... Ozzy appears especially bored. This is one of the many needless things he'd been coaxed into by his dollar-counting mercenary wife, including the latest spate of awful albums and several "farewell" tours.

This show is something they do out of obligation, because they know that their appearance is what will draw in the audiences, or at least a fraction of them. (Enough to make a solid buck out of this pitiful malarkey.) Neither Sharon nor Ozzy give a hoot what they say, they are so blatantly unmotivated that they literally have to be prodded with a stick (from behind) to react to Jack's dull clips and his monotonous commentary. I believe there are several people (or just one very bored and barely employed film student) prodding them throughout the shoot, reminding them that the camera is on and that they have to react, even if the reactions are minimal.

Given the rich history of manipulation, lies, violence, no self-respect, scheming, cowardice, greed, and fakery of Sharon and Ozzy, it is no wonder that Jack (and Kelly) exhibit most of these traits, and so shamelessly. Jack is no moron: he is 100% in kahoots with the special-effects team; this isn't some naive geek being lulled into promoting gobbledygook. It's too obviously stupid for Jack - or almost anybody else - to be involved without knowing what they're doing. You'd literally have to be Forrest Gump in order to fall into that category. It is an impossibility.

Just waiting for Jack to endorse Biden or some other Soros muppet during an election campaign. That is the only way he could stoop even lower.

I'm waiting, because I know he'll eventually do it... If he even becomes relevant enough to be asked to.
