ellen more like ellen

why would she publicly embarrass the chinese translator and the child like that????? how is that even remotely funny????

I’m infuriated by her getting mad at the poor translator trying her best. “Just tell him what I said” ENGLISH AND CHINESE ARE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

As an old person can I just point out that nobody ever knew how to fold a map

imagine saying "he's beautiful *but* ..." to a child's mom. and on live tv. she is so bold.

Did anyone else notice that the audience said “aww” to the painting but then abruptly started laughing almost like someone put up a laughter cue card for them? That’s toxic and mean spirited.

She's frustrated by a *child* who doesn't speak English while she herself, a middle-aged woman has never made an effort to learn another language.

I love how the actress from 50 Shades of Gray was NOT taking Ellen's shit and called her out each time Ellen asserted something that wasn't true. But not in a rude way, or blowing up, solid standing her ground. I know next to nothing about her but I enjoyed that clip.

I can’t imagine being forced to tell that you’re pregnant in front of the whole world and then having to turn around and say that you miscarried. Miscarriage is heartbreaking enough without having a bunch of strangers know about it. That makes me the angriest out of all the things Ellen did.

felt so bad for the chinese kid, hes talented as hell and she was kind of acting like he wasn't worth her time because he wasn't speaking english...

when i first came out, i was told to start watching ellen for “representation.” but i’m a lesbian, not an asshole, so i couldn’t really identify with her.

alright but as a young artist who draws portraits of celebrities/people i know irl, i would be absolutely devastated if my art was made fun of in that way. it's even worse because the painting is actually pretty amazing if you ask me?? like just look at the lighting and shadows on that skin

I'm an artist and that painting was really well done. The artist's understanding of shades and what colours to use are amazing, the only thing was that the proportions were a bit off. That painting is definitely not something anyone could do, I can tell it takes years of learning and practice to create. And the fact she has the audacity to make fun of it in front of her audience is ridiculous to me.

I feel really bad for the translator, shes was so apologetic when she didn't do anything wrong.

oof the way she treated that translator really doesn’t sit right with me

JB if you ever see this- don't stop creating. The act of taking care and love to create something into existence is precious. I'm so sorry she was mean and I hope you're doing ok.

i’m asian and that translator scene really pissed me off. ellen didn’t even try to hide frustration and straight up demanded the girl to hurry up. i can’t believe she didn’t get called out sooner

The Ellen audience is full of Karen’s who say “I’m not homophobic, my favourite show is Ellen !!”

The Mariah Carey thing hurt my heart, such an awful thing to do

To this day ellen making fun of her fans painting is one of the most despicable things i have ever seen. Its oil paint, its blended well and obviously has love put into it. Im disgusted and enraged that anyone has enough of an ego to publicly make fun of art MADE FOR THEM on television.

“Horrible old lady forces pregnant woman to spill the beans by bullying her into drinking alcohol”

I can’t get over how rude she was to that interpreter, like why don’t you go to school and learn to interpret yourself ?!

The way she treated the boy and his translater, was disgusting.

i’ve been reading the comments for a while, and i’m surprised nobody has brought up the time ellen had a slideshow of every guy taylor swift had been seen with, and taylor was almost in tears yelling to stop it, while the audience and ellen kept laughing!! i felt so bad for taylor swift

I feel so bad for Mariah. There's a reason why most people wait for at least the first 12 weeks of pregnancy to go by before telling anyone - there's a ~20% risk of miscarriage in the early stage. When I was pregnant and word got out too soon, I was anxious for the first 3 months, knowing that there's a plausible chance that I at some point might have to inform everyone that things didn't work out. And that would've affected only 20 people. I don't want to know how it felt like to inform the whole world about something like that.

If she treats guests this poorly on public television imagine how she treats them behind scenes, that's disgusting.

She’s like a bully who doesn’t understand how mean she is

Ugh the situation with the artwork really rubbed me wrong...my senior year of high school I painted something for a teacher who was really a positive influence on my life. In his classroom he had gifts from other students already, and my thought process was like 'well, he doesn't have to hang this up, I just want to let him know I appreciate him.' I gave it to him before winter break and he said he loved it. I got a hug. I felt satisfied that I'd done something for a person I looked up to. For all I know, he could have been lying about liking the painting, and that would be totally fine as long as he keeps it to himself. What matters is that he never took my artwork, showed it to the class and went 'how lame is this? It looks bad! c'mon, agree with me!' I think rejection like that would have destroyed me emotionally lol. I really hope the fan who made the painting didn't see that episode, or at least that it didn't bother them. That's such a mean thing to do, especially on live TV :(

The weird part about the vintage tools bit is like... did it take the people who grew up using them 60 seconds to figure it out?

The translator clip is disgusting lmao

She didn’t even try to hide being frustrated with the translator. Most languages don’t have logical word-for-word translations of others. Chinese is one that can be especially tricky to translate back and forth, so no shit there’s going to be some interpretations that the translator will have to think about to make the translation understandable to him.

coming back to this video after the Ashton Kutcher/Mila Kunis situation where they sent letters in private to help absolve their friend of r*pe charges really speaks volumes to his character when he also tried to defend Ellen

I once heard someone say that Ellen treated her employees the way Conan pretends to in his remotes and skits, and Conan treated his employees the way Ellen wants the public to think she did.

why is she laughing at a girl who can’t fold a map even older adults can’t do that

The clip with the translator pissed me off more than any other clip I've seen of ellen being rude. It was so damn rude and the girl got so uncomfortable and even apoligized like she's doing something wrong, the amount of disrespect smh..

My nephew has a hyperfixation with 1950s tech, especially typewriter stuff. I'd hate to put him on the spot, but id love to see him wreck house on that Ellen segment.

The segment from 11:50-13:41 aged beautifully considering Ashton Kutcher’s recent support of Danny Masterson

The miscarriage thing was truly unforgivable, there's a good reason people don't disclose that information and that is honestly heartbreaking

She broke character when she snapped at the interpreter, wild wild wild.

It looks like Ellen is the anti-Conan. Conan plays this really obnoxious, narcissistic bully on his programs, but when they get real for a second on his podcast his assistent always mentions what a generous guy he is to all of his staff.

Ashton Kutcher is 0-2 for writing positive things in defense of terrible people.

Does Ellen not see the irony in accusing a small boy of having a woman's haircut?

that painting wasn’t even bad

About her roasting the painting made by her fan - a few years ago when i started posting my art online, one of the things that kept me motivated was my idol (aka a person whos characters i was drawing) leaving comments under my post and being v nice and kind. I used to be very insecure so it was a huge boost. Saying all that - if he instead started insulting me or made fun of my work on his story on ig or anywhere else i'd probably never draw again and completly stop posting all together (might seem like an overreaction to you but i was young and v insecure and i can only hope that the artist who made Ellen that drawing didn't take what she said to heart and is still painting cuz that picture was actually very good when it comes to realistic art style :)))

I love that at the 4:00 mark, when she reveals the painting, the audience goes aww, because it's not a bad artwork and it's very sweet. But she had already decided to make fun of it so she has to try and change the audiences opinion.

I've learned that most of the time, Ellen's not funny, she's just really mean and people think she's joking.

Wait, Ellen made fun of a kid having a haircut that didn't match his traditional gender? ..... Does she not see the irony there orr...??

I’m not fluent in Chinese but I’m familiar with the structure and some words. Here’s why what Ellen did was especially messed up. The translator was starting with the first question since the second one was a follow-up to it. That meant repeating the names of the instruments, which are western, so the translation involves a sound-for-sound deconstruction that can lengthen certain syllables. Additionally, the second question is also more complex than in english-the structure is “subject preposition verb” so it would have the same conciseness of “you additionally would like to learn what?” Put that together and it sounds long because of all the sounds she’s making, but it’s really just a simple translation. What a jerk.

Imagine bringing someone who speaks a different language on your show and getting mad when they speak a different language

The Mariah Carey thing is absolutely despicable. You never do this to a woman... EVER. You have no idea what she could be going through - a pregnancy, a miscarriage, infertility. Dear God. She should have been cancelled that day.

I'm fluent in Chinese, and the part about the translator irked me a lot. When you know what the translator is saying, it's clear that she's doing a great job of making the questions/answers as concise as possible. Chinese has nuances in phrases that makes certain sentences longer than their English counterparts. Ellen cut her off and assumed that because the woman was taking longer, she wasn't doing her job properly. It kind of goes to show how ignorant/disrespectful she is. lmao edit: please stop bringing up political issues in the reply section of a youtube comment. I am ethnically Chinese and proud of it, but I am in no way a representation of a whole country. Every country has its issues, but we're here to drag Ellen and nothing else :)

Damn, watching the choking bit after the whole deal with Danny Masterson and Ashton Kutcher is insane.

What pissed me off is when ellen asked the members of BTS about if they have any girlfriends, which they aren't allowed to say and its perosnal as shit. You could see on all of their faces that they were VERY uncomfortable by the question.

The way Ellen constantly mocks people who have accents is disgusting. Bold of her when she only speaks *one* language 😒

You’d think that as a gay woman who once had to fight for acceptance, that she would be more accepting and compassionate toward others.

As an artist, I actually really like the painting that person did for Ellen. There lighting and shading is on point. Or at least it's better than I would do. You can tell they definitely put their heart into it

I’m not Chinese, nor am I fluent in it. However I did learn Mandarin for 7 years (it was a required subject at my old school before I moved), and I’m sure the translator was translating it exactly what Ellen said. It really pisses me off when people assume other languages are the same length as English when that’s not the case.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is more like the Hunger Games. The audience laughs while the chosen ones suffer.

When a short-haired woman who only wears suits and other masculine clothing criticizes a young boy for having long hair

“Just because someone is your friend doesn’t mean they are a good person.” Exactly

That Ashton Kutcher line is even more relevant now

Ellen: *Actively invites a non-English speaker to her show* Non-English speaker: *doesn't speak English* Ellen: Never mind.

moral of the video: Ellen- bad Drew- gooden

The last name DeGeneres sounds a lot more like degenerate rather than generous in my humble opinion

5:20 I remember seeing a video of ellen "playing a game" with taylor swift in like 2010 where she showed taylor pictures of men and asked her if she had dated them, this "game" was so terrible taylor was almost in tears asking her repeatedly to stop and telling ellen she doesn't want to play this game. But ellen kept going.

I cannot believe how rude she was to both the boy and translator in that clip. absolutely appalling.

I speak Chinese and English fluently, and that poor translator had just one more word to finish her question. If I was the translator I would’ve said “are you gonna let me finish or not? You can’t even speak two languages”

Dakota Johnson putting her foot down and telling Ellen she’s wrong to her face is so good. Its the kinda thing I’d never be able to do, when put on the spot like that I feel like I’d be too nice to call someone out in front of an entire studio audience, I’d probably just laugh along and try to move on with the show

I used to work at a holiday park and I still have most of the drawings the kids gave me, even the ones that are just scribbles on a post it note. The fact that they liked me enough to want to give me some art was always so touching.

Dakota Johnson pulled the uno reverse card by making Ellen uncomfortable on her own show

If Ellen is so impatient with the translator, why doesn't she know Chinese

The Kutcher stuff aged really well

Ellen - "Don't you know how to set the time on a clock?" Millennials - "Don't you know how to change the time on your phone boomer?"

Dakota Johnson dropkicking her on her own show will always be legendary.

Ellen, a literal gay: why boy no have short hair? Only girls have long hair.

I’m honestly surprised Drew didn’t bring up the time when Ellen made Taylor Swift cry, it’s insane what she got away with

About the pregnancy that was particularly crumby. My mom had a miscarriage then a very difficult pregnancy with my older brother. My parents told NO ONE when they were pregnant with me until 5 months along because they genuinely had no clue what would happen with me. Thankfully I was easy but damn no one needs to know that shit.

She's like a reverse Gordon Ramsay. Sweet and kind on TV, angry and abusive in real life.

The painting one hurt so much. I feel terrible for that person.

Ellen is a five letter word that starts with B: "Bully"

5:45 the hair joke you made was gold

“actually, no, that wasn’t the truth, ellen, you were invited” ooh that was such a powerful sentence from dakota

the whole Mariah Carey interview gets me so rattled, I do not understand how you can manipulate someone into confessing to being pregnant before they are ready... and the fact that it ended up being a miscarriage and the whole situation could've been dealt with privately if ellen had the smallest ounce of decency is just so heartbreaking. Apparently Ellen doesn't understand the whole reason why women wait a few months before announcing a pregnancy

Might pour one out for our artist JB. And by pour one out I mean sob on their behalf because holy shit. I hope they’re still out there creating art :(

Ppl who say “Be kind” to others usually turn out to be the biggest hypocrite, period.

the translator was actually translating ellens statement leading up to the question, to give CONTEXT because theres a good chance the boy was just being respectful when he said yes. ellens lack of sensitivity is mind bending.

Imagine if the audience didn’t laugh every time she says something mean, she would look despicable.

It seems like Ellen is one of those people who started treating their "good-hearted reputation" as a given, or as a fact of nature; and now can't even see or understand the flaws in her character/behavior as being wrong.

About a year before all this went down we had a celebrity hairstylist visit my cosmetology school who has worked on so many different shows and worked with so many celebrities. We asked him who his least favorite celebrity he worked with and he said Ellen. He said she was so mean to all her staff back stage.

Of course Ellen didn't know about her toxic workplace! Since people weren't allowed to talk to her, look at her, work for her, get sick near her, serve food to her, *breathe* near her ...

The Mariah Carey one makes me so mad. She was obviously so uncomfortable with the situation and Ellen only cared about good TV and views to treat someone who took the time to go onto your show like that is disgusting.

That boy was Feng E, such a talented kid, Ellen doesn't deserve him on her show

What’s funny is, both Jay Leno and Ashton Kutcher have been credibly accused of and/or admitted to doing shady stuff by now as well. It’s almost as if horrible celebrities will go the extra mile to defend other horrible celebrities…

hi guys i speak some chinese. here is what the translator said: “currently you are playing the electric guitar. what else would you like to-“ and then ellen cut her off.

Something about a gay women making fun of a little boy for not conforming to gender norms rubs me the wrong way...

honestly, as a fine arts student who mainly does realism, the painting was pretty good. it's not a masterpiece, shre, but the colors are super nice, textures are well-drawn, lighting isn't bad... like, yeah, the proportions are a bit off, but that is a very good artwork.

Ashton Kutcher defended Ellen and Danny Masterson?! That guy just has a fundamentally broken personality.

i’m a painter myself, and honestly the painting of ellen and her wife looks good, it’s just not full on realistic. looking at it you can definitely tell who they are, and ellen’s nose was done great in that painting, and noses are one of the hardest things to do in portraits. the color saturation is really nice too. i’d like to see her do better, that was a good fucking painting imo

Ellen is like: yes I’m gay and yes I’m homophobic

really like that you compiled this stuff. when you see everything back to back like this it's a history of abuse and power.
