Ellen Degeneres riding a unicycle

So i just saw a commercial for Ellen Degeneres’s new show and she was riding a unicycle. really wobbly but she could do it.

But what about her dog?

What, can her dog ride too?

fantastic, maybe she will simply ride onto the stage now, instead of that whole dance routine…uhhhh…that my wife tells me she does…

Top Google search for “ellen degeneres unicycle”. Looks like two years later she finally is starting to learn to ride it.

BTW, Why was this thread started in JC? Ellen is already in RSU on the other thread. Think of all those poor RSU only people who will never have the opportunity to see this fine unicycle thread because it was started in the wrong forum.

Well at least she’s trying something new and very cool BTW. :smiley:

I started it here because it was about a commercial not unicycles in general. and i didn’t use the search to find this because it was a brand new commercial so how would there be another thread.

But Ellen’s story about her dog Iggy is so much more interesting and we couldn’t go there if this thread was in RSU.

haha my mom was talking about that the other day it sounded messed up.

Steve, I’ll keep fighting the ‘MORE DESCRIPTIVE THREAD-TITLE’ battle if you’ll keep up the good ‘RELEVANT FORUM’ work.

I’m sure we’ll recruit some more operatives along the way to keeping this place in shape.

Not every celeberty in a commercial can really unicycle
But if it was really wobbly she might. It would’nt surprise me from her.

I was asked to do a perfomance in her show once, but there was not enough space or budget or airtime to do what I wanted to do.

First Danny Bonaduce.
Now Ellen Degeneres.

Who are these people you speak of?

Danny Bonaduce I can understand, but Ellen is something of an international figure in the celebrity world.

She’s a comedian who had a sitcom on in the 90s that was very popular. She quite famously came out of the closet on the show fictionally and in real life (TV can do that somehow). She had a very public relationship with actress Anne Heche who dumped her for a man. She now has a very popular morning talk show.

Personally I think she’s very funny as a comedian, talented as an actor, but rather flaky as a person, insofar as I know her as a person.

In the past week or so, and what John Childs refers to, she gave away a dog that she had adopted. The agency that she adopted the dog from took the dog from its new home because the contract quite clearly stipulated that the adoptive owner could not place it in a new home without the agency’s direct involvement. She broke down in tears on her show apologizing for her actions and begging the agency to return the dog to the family she had given it to. To my knowledge they have not.

More than you wanted to know?

About nine lines too much, but you can make it up to me with an MR phlamph if you really want to.

Not gonna happen.

Dogs being ADOPTED? Oh my God! But think it lucky that they were not being adopted in the UK or else they might have had to go through stuff like this:

I must say that I think the loving and able care of people who happen to be idiots should always trump the government’s right to impose idiotic regulations. The children will suffer in some way either way, but less with the people than with the government.

And that’s from a supporter of big assed government. :wink: The BIGGER the BETTER!

And she’s openly not heterosexual. How did they even allow that dog to be adopted by her to begin with. That dog would have ended up humping her leg, humping her cats, and god knows what else.

For years, the ASPCA has gotten a lot of mileage with an ad featuring cats and dogs, with the words: GAY ADOPTION is OK with us.

Well put, Raphael. I think the entire concept of that law is moronic.

How can people actually believe this is fair? I believe the term I’m looking for is “reverse discrimination.”
