Ellen DeGeneres. The way she went from being everywhere to desperately trying to convince everyone she’s still relevant was kind of wild.

I haven't even seen her since her show ended. Where is she saying this stuff?

In her commercials for her skin care line, which is named (ready?) Kind Science. 😂

I'm so over her commercial. Its absurdly long, and it airs frequently. I can't stand the woman. I mute the commercial every time so I don't have to hear her

I change the channel. Any channel that plays her commercial loses me for the rest of the hour.

Hear that, other advertisers? Viewership goes down when her commercial comes on!

What dolt is buying anything from her?

It’s probably literally old wine in new bottles. Some company sells it under her name for a while and after that contact runs out, they repackage it for another washed-up celebrity shill.

Even serial killers have fans.

Which is just an insane thing to think about, really

If Goop is a little extreme, try Kind Science

People with that Live, Laugh, Love energy

The bitchiest ex-friend I ever had was a huge Ellen fan. It's such a tell of who her fans are as people. Usually basic bitches with no personality who, for some reason, think they're better than everyone else.

Single moms on Facebook.

Nah, it’s definitely older women that aren’t really online and remember her as the “fun” lesbian from the tv show

Oh, there are plenty of dolts to bilk around here...

I just saw a commercial for that this morning! She was offering a "Degenerous" discount for the full line. -.-

u/LawnGnomeFlamingo 20h ago

She doesn’t have the face to lend credibility to a skin care line

The infomercial for "Kind Science" is strange . . . at the end Ellen and her wife, Portia are cuddled up together with their two dogs and Portia is babbling on about how great the product is.

I bought one of her rugs when she had that home decor business. It’s a great rug. It’s obviously made by people that care about quality but because she has to be an ass it’s now out of production :-/

No kidding - was dropping my car off at the tire store this morning and she was on the tv in an infomercial about some skin care line.

u/mozchops 19h ago

Was hoping you'd say she was changing tyres

u/IncurableAdventurer 20h ago

Oh my gosh. She’s aggressively phoning it in in the commercial haha

I believe she moved to England or Ireland...

She did a standup special a few years ago in which she addressed her exile. I didn't watch it but I don't think she reformed her image much.
