Dummies of the Day

Oh boy, yet another YouTuber decides to pick on Jackson.  You know the drill.  They come into town, pick on a few people, then express shock, shock mind you, at what they see.   Feel free to pick this one apart.  There are some rather obvious mistakes.

Quick! Someone link them to America’s Dumbest Gossip Blog where the commenters write like 7 year olds.

I'd rather ignore them and not give these goobers the click.

Making these videos is like a bully punching a kid whose hands are tied behind his back.

When Jay Leno was hosting The Tonight Show he would air a segment called Jaywalking in which he would ask random people relatively easy questions. He got all kinds of wrong answers and he was in Los Angeles. So why make such a big deal about this? Too many people in MS have an inferiority complex about their state. There's no need to feel so insulted every time someone make a derogatory comment about Mississippi. Get over it.

I meant mistakes by the YouTuber. North Park for one.

Did they only interview the homeless on the street -- or go to Walmart?? Why didn't they hit up a law firm or Dr. office? Their "sample market" was not evenly distributed across the lines.

Ask the next 10 people you see to point to north. Make 5 of them under 20.

😂lol
Lmao even

They are click baiting just like KF does

BTW A lot of Jay Leno's Jaywalking were staged.One I remember was of Jay talking to fellow comic Val Myers who was playing a street person.

10:09 Jay Leno never implied the people he questioned were typical of LA, nor did he ever label LA as one of the ten dumbest cities in America.

Then again, since you cannot ascertain these differences you should have been one of those interviewed.

Those guys must post here. They are expressing similar positions of some that post here.

As 10:09 said, I don't think they are picking on MS. I would bet they apply this same tactic to all markets. Nobody wants to watch inteligent people.

We watch the dummies. So they give the audience what it wants.

And it's not difficult to do in any city.

Here's once of my favorite "man in the street" sketches, from Chris Rock:

Haven't been to Jackson in years. Just curious as to what occupies what was once Deposit Guaranty, First National, and Landmark center buildings. Are they still offices, condos, or mostly abandoned. I remember when, if you worked within any of the three, you had "arrived". I once worked for Merrill Lynch when it was in the First National Bank.

What would make this great would be if those guys would ask the same questions of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors or the Election Commission. Then they would really see what dumb looks like.

@1:14
Landmark center is occupied by black mold since the upper floor pipes burst during the 2022 freeze because the heat was turned off. It flooded the building and the water damage was never remediated. The building is a total loss destined to the same fate as that Triangle office building on Briarwood

Future mayoral and city council candidates.

1:55, So the Landmark Center had the heat turned off, but not the water? Shocker.

@1:55 PM - White mold would be deemed racist by Chowke.

Not to put shade on you, 10:52, but my wife, a doctor, couldn't point out north if she were in our house, which is perfectly aligned with the compass. A bad sense of direction is just one of those things.

A bad sense of how to use your phone is different. She and her mother were never able to find Ross Furniture in Flowood one day. They called and told me this. I said, you both have iPhones that will literally tell you exactly how to get there. They said it was too complicated, and that after an hour (!!!) of driving around they were coming home.

Ahhh @1:14 the typical comment about how it’s been “years” since you went downtown. The fact you think you arrived because you worked in a certain building is about the most aw shucks thing I’ve ever heard. Thanks for coming down out of your ivory tower to shame the plebes.

5:24: Haha I feel your pain brother.

My 1994 Ole Miss education is useless compared to my son's 2023 Jackson State education. Times have changed so much since I was in college, and technology is so advanced now that I can barely use my iPhone. And programming a TV is an all day hit-and-miss project for me.

I've never met Kingfish, but I'll give each of you fifty bucks if he was NOT interviewed in this clip.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
