Can’t say I miss Ellen.
My body just turned inside out with cringe
I’ve only ever seen the first minute of this. I didn’t know it got worse…
Who are the audience for this shit?
Ellen is just not a good person. Dakota definitely handled her uncomfortable questions with class.
Ellen has such a talent to turn a conversation hostile and awkward in seconds, sheesh.
Heh, never seen that. That was hilarious in such an awkward way. I feel like there’s a deeper issue between them that they don’t say on tv.
Only 4 years? It feels like 10 years ago. Time is a flat circle
I can’t even muster the energy to click this. I hateeeee cringe interviews.
Had a supervisor who must’ve idolized Ellen because this was like every interaction with her. Nothing you said was taken seriously and everything you said was held against you. Glad I don’t work for her anymore.
Reminds me of Michael asking the office who thought it was a good idea to get Toby a rock as a going away present.
Then Dwight and the office is like, you did. I thought it was over the –
It seems to me like they are just playfully messing with each other and it could be scripted.
I remember watching her show as a kid and thinking ‘I’m supposed to think she’s so sweet and funny and she just seems so mean.’
Awkward or good banter?
I don’t like Ellen but she had some good lines here
I have never been much of an Ellen fan, but I don’t get why she gets so much shit over this interview. Yes, the birthday invite discussion was cringy and weird, but that was on both of them.
One of my favorite recorded pop culture moments. It’s not often you catch someone like Ellen THAT off guard and clearly trying to correct the course of the interview. This is incredible every single time I see it. She didn’t know how to handle it.
Man sometimes you wonder how redditors survive in the world. Is Ellen a shitty person? Sure, but I doubt she’d do that to her celebrity guests on television. You genuinely think Ellen is offended by not being invited to some random actresses birthday party? You really think Dakota Johnson gives a shit about Ellen?
These are just two different personalities doing their best to navigate Hollywood’s niceties. Ellen is giving her shit cause she’s a type A and Johnson is being too sincere because she’s a type B. Ellen shouldn’t have pushed so hard and Johnson shouldn’t have taken all of it so personally. There no mal-intent here though. Reddit just generally doesn’t like type A personalities.
I don’t know much about Johnson, but she seems very sweet and earnest in this interview.
Umm this didn’t seem that awkward to me…or at least I’ve seen much, much worse.
Ellen only smiles with her mouth. Her eyes look like a shark, even when she’s smiling.
i dont see anything wrong with this segment, i think shes funny and witty/condensing but not to the point of being offended?
Huh, I don’t get all the hate on this. I get if folks don’t like Ellen because of other things in other contexts (unrelatable wealth, her being a bad manager of human beings) but this interview/convo seems like pretty typical low stakes banter, and kinda funny and awkward.
This is nowhere near as bad as people are acting like it is. I don’t care for Ellen but sheesh it’s not that awkward
Side note: I really enjoyed Peanut Butter Falcon
Dakota is such a mood, I love her lol
Ellen is insufferable and I totally believe her staff that the workplace was toxic.
It actually just makes it entertaining. Actor interviews can be pretty lame.
What was even that bad about this?
Have any of you actually had a cringe inducing moment in reality before?! This ain’t it.
Story time. Back when Periscope was new and hadn’t been purchased by Twitter yet, I used to like to surf Periscope on the can at work. One day as I was clicking through the random live videos, Ellen came up. Literally Ellen, live, in studio, doing a tech demo of Periscope to prep for the show taping that would also feature Periscope. It was literally me and about 10 other people watching her stream. She basically walked her phone around and talked to her a dozen or so studio shoot staff who were chilling in the (empty) audience seats. As she went around chatting each one up, she casually mentioned that one guy she was talking to had just found out he was going to be a dad. He looked a bit startled and kinda nervously said that he hadn’t told the rest of his family yet. And then Ellen laughed and moved on to someone else.
This always feels like a bad SNL sketch
Kind of amazing how Disney decided to make a ride featuring Ellen with Bill Nye as guest star for a science ride instead of, you know, just staring Bill Nye.
This was the literal beginning of the end of Ellen’s phony ‘nice and kind’ shtick..it was glorious to see such an awkward interaction pull away the curtain of phoniness.
