Dr. Phil/YMMV


 * Bile Fascination: Dr. Phil frequently has guests on his show that don't have any problem at all, but simply look funny or have an inordinary lifestyle that he seems to gawk at. Such as people in plural marriages, or men with many piercings and tattoos on their body, for no other reason than for the audience to snicker and judge them for being comfortable with themselves.
 * To be fair, a lot of these people have e-mailed themselves requesting that they want to be on the show to alert the world that people like them aren't weirdos. A recent example of this was an infantilist.
 * This was the whole idea behind the appearance of one woman who was essentially the biggest bitch in the world. She mocked her own very autistic cousin because she doesn't like that the girl doesn't understand her unless she speaks simply and she drools, and felt we shouldn't have handicapped parking spots so close to the doors because she wants those spots and all hanidcapped people got that way by driving drunk. It was It's All About Me Over Nine Thousand and for some it broke the suspension of disbelief and they wondered if she was just trolling Phil and everyone else.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?: Dr. Phil compared a man who has lots of piercings and body modifications to his other guest that episode, a drunken idiot who does extreme sports for no reason and constantly breaking his limbs for funzies.
 * You Fail Logic Forever: Do you disagree that what Dr. Phil thinks is a problem is, in fact, a problem? Don't try and debate him on this, he won't let you win. More than once he's argued that the fact someone doesn't see they have a problem as proof that they have a problem.
 * In this case, he's making one of the classical logic-errors of anyone who's glanced at a first-year Psych textbook: "denial is the first sign of a problem." No, denial is the first step in working through a problem; if that were the case, if you asked someone who had never touched a drink in his life, "Are you an alcoholic?" and they said "No, of course I'm not!" then obviously the teetotaler MUST be a sloppy mess
 * Averted a few times, though. In particular, one woman he was accusing of being an alcoholic turned out to actually be an alcoholic and a drug addict in absolute denial.
