Ellen's Fall from Grace 

interesting

ikr

Yeah, that’s actually a fair point

ellen

woah u got her good :O

Good catch, it was an abrupt change in tone!

Yeah I noticed it too. “Aww that’s so cute. Oh wait are we supposed to be laughing at this? Hahahaha!”

They thought it was really cute but they're forcing them to laugh

But like honestly what was meant to be funny, I’m confused. I’ll admit I’m not the most artistic person but is that art bad? It looks good to me

It's like that clip in shrek where they held up signs that told the citizens what to do and when to do it

The translator actually said the context before the immediate question, because while Ellen's speech is linked, the translator's part isn't

also some languages sentences are longer when saying the same thing. Someone could ask me, "What's your favorite cake flavor?" and in English I would just say "chocolate" or "chocolate cake" but if it was a Spanish conversation I would say, "Pastel de chocolate". Or in French instead of saying 1997 you'd be like "mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-sept". Like not every language is structured like English, Ellen. Read a book.

She's a typical Karen

Belive me I feel you anger.

I can't condone Ellen's attitude but to be fair, I speak chinese and the translator was doing a bad job.

Lmao suspected as much

My parents always struggled with it in the car, they were so happy when digital versions came out.

my 90 year old grandma would just stuff it back into the pocket on the back side of the passenger seat of her car.

And why does she think a boy can't have long hair while she is basically bald?

@@CharborgPlaylists because boys and men with traits traditionally considered feminine is less socially accepted than girls and women with traits traditionally considered masculine. And Ellen has the social views of a neanderthal.

My best friend Matthew has hair that goes below his shoulders and he rocks it screw her shitty taste

@@CharborgPlaylists I’d love to see her face if she saw my ginger mop of a head with shoulder length hair hah, she might have an aneurism

"rude" is that word you wanted to say, not "bold". Rude as fuck

I’ve done lots of translating and interpreting, it’s so draining 🥵 and languages are structured so differently, she’s so damn ignorant.

And the way she was talking was not helpful, so it was harder than it had to be from the get go

Interpreting*

@@thelastowitch in fairness translating is also hard and most people use them interchangeably in day to day discussion. It's probably more helpful to explain what the difference between them is

As someone bilingual..yeah its hard translating and sometimes trying to put my thoughts in english..but sometimes when im tired..it gets worse..ill use the wrong words and sometimes some word just doesnt come to mind

Let's be honest, she never treated Asians like people. There's a reason why she's so unwatchable for most of us.

Lee F don’t forget that one time she kept asking superm (a kpop group) about dating, even though dating is very taboo in kpop and could lead to their reputation being ruined

@@yikestea and BTS about whether they had 'hooked up' with someone in the ARMY

Does she know how hard it is to translate something

@@SG-zm9vy What do you think?

That actress is from a powerful family background. So maybe she is not afraid of Ellen and her influence.

@@rizwana5684 Yeah isn't her mom Melanie Griffith?

Dakota johnson?

I love that Ellen was about to say ”how do you know that?” As if she’s in disbelief that Dakota actually knew her own guest list

Dakota knows Ellen needs her now more than she needs Ellen truly

She should have thrown that campaign in her face. That would have been dramatic, but so satisfying to see.

Yeah that was painful to hear, she didn’t need to coerce her into saying that but she just didn’t care about what she wanted at all

Personally, I know this exact feeling. I have a very thick southern accent. Everyone teased me for it, claiming that I was a hick and a bumpkin. I’m now in college on my way to my doctorates, and I know 2 languages and am learning my 3rd.

I hate people who only speak one language mocking other people because they have an accent in THEIR language. Ellen is a Karen

Fr, i dont have an accent but people go around calling me a n@zi for coming from Germany, and its not even a good insult?!?!

ByuBio ok but as a fellow southern person i worked hard to hide mine bc they're gross and annoying lol

Right? I love languages - pretty good in Spanish and thinking of learning Japanese - and while I'd love to get better I know for a fact (and have been told) that I have an accent in my Spanish and that's likely how it's always going to be somewhat. Nothing wrong with it and considering we Americans seem to expect people the world over to learn our language (and not the other way around) the least we could do is be more polite and understanding if someone's English isn't 100% perfect and clear at all times. 🙄

she doesnt even speak english well what with all the stuttering, pauses and repeating herself. not that that at all is a bad thing but then she shouldn't be annoyed with someone else when her viewers have to sit painfully through her own speech issues

But this is an American show, so they should be speaking English and no other language is necessary.

@@uniboy13 then why did they invite someone who they KNEW didnt speak english onto the show? cause the kid didnt invite himself.

Uniboy 13 American? As in a show based in America? Because there are PLENTY of “American” shows in America that aren’t in English. Not only that, but English isn’t even the official language for the U.S., so it’s not exactly necessary, more so common. I’m Hispanic and watch a bunch of shows that take place in the U.S. that are in Spanish. Just because it’s “American”, doesn’t mean it *has* to be in English.

Uniboy 13 You know guests don’t just will themselves into teleporting on stage right? They’re invited. You don’t learn an entirely new language as a child for a guest appearance on a fucking daytime talk show.

yeah! the detail is awesome. the proportions are just a little off, that’s the only thing that’s kind of off. Everything else is really good.

I think it was pretty good and the most adorable thing, that's why I don't like most comedians, they would do and say anything just to be funny

I did art at school and it's so much harder than people realise. I realised I'm pretty crap at painting and shadows are super hard. I agree that the painting is actually pretty good, like that's someone who's well on their way to being a great artist

That painting is actually good. It reminds me of those paintings you would see in a fancy restaurant in Hollywood.

Yeah I was like 'woah that's really good', and if you pause it, you see it's a really good likeness. I don't think the audience disliked it either they just followed ellen

My favorite was how the audience started to say "aww". They didn't hate it at first but then switched gears abruptly and started laughing when they figured out that Ellen hated it. Jesus people.

Let's not lie... it's not really well done... honestly that would have gotten torn off the wall in my first-year painting class. But still, Ellen's reaction was horrific. The effort was there, and it was a personal gift.

@@SeraphsWitness For me, I thought it was a great painting, despite its flaws. but yes either way we both agree that ellen's reacton was horrible.

I’m curious what about the proportions is off? Not an artist and I can see it looks a little off but I don’t know exactly what. Also aren’t they a bit too orange, like the comparison with the real life Ellen’s skin tone

@@WinWinWoo From what I saw, the eyes were too big, the noses looked a bit off, and the woman right next to Ellen's body was too small compared to her head. And with the orange, I don't really know because It depends on the reference photo the painter used, but that's just what I saw.

And the translator doesn’t know what he know so she has to go through the full context

RIGHT it’s like she thinks that all languages follow the same syntax and grammar... it’s so much more difficult to translate languages seamlessly, especially a more complex language like Mandarin. her behavior was repulsive.

And Chinese is a very hard language to learn/speak compared to English The audacity she has to get mad at the translator just made my blood boil, they were just doing their job...idk

Right! She has to translate from English to Mandarin and vice versa - two very different languages - on top of trying to put it in a way that the kid can understand. She's so bitter...

And it's a little kid to boot, so she's having to keep that in mind aswell... Has to be on a level that he understands

Yeah she was pretty aggressive when she said it too

it wasn’t even a slow translation, she just decided to include ellen’s previous question of “so you’re learning the electric guitar, right?” in case the kid didn’t get it

Yeah, that was insanely rude, holy shit.

And then the kid started to reply in Chinese and she immediately yelled "forget it" like damn, he's just trying to reply. The translator isn't a mind reader, she needs to know his answer to translate it! Just give them bith a second to respond, good grief.

Yeah that made me physically recoil. It was just mean for no fucking reason.

Love you for talking directly to JB. I can’t imagine loving someone so much that you spend hours and hours on an art and present it as a gift rather than just buying some random stuff from a store which any of us can do. And then have that woman you idolize mock your affection in public television must have been nothing short of devastating. I hope they’re doing ok.

Holy shit.. jb *justin bieber*

Honestly, I’m not Asian myself but I had times where I had to translate things from my own language to other people and it infuriates me whenever they’re acting I’m saying something entirely different, in some languages, some words are just longer to say rather than in English, and I’ve learned a few mandarin words and they honestly are longer than the English language so it honestly pissed me off when Ellen just blatantly ignored that English and mandarin are different in so many ways.

it's the way that Ellen spent a longer time speaking than the translator for me. had the translator repeated Ellen's question back to her in English exactly the way she asked, she wouldn't have had time to finish before Ellen cut her off. I don't know what she expected

she was baiting the translator into doing exactly that, she knows that drama gets more viewers, which results in more money. That's why no one talks back to her in her own show, because its exactly what she wants

Wow i respect you for speaking two so different from each other languages!!

Ellen was an absolute shithead but that translator was terrible at her job

Same I was like she’s almost done (I can speak two languages

I guess it just demonstrates that you can either grow from pain or use it to fuel your ego and just become a total asshole

She used to be the face of fighting for acceptance! Growing up gay over ten years ago, everything gay rights related had Ellen's face all over it

the complete disconnect of white gays tbh

Pshh, who needs empathy when you're a billionaire? 🙃

@@needmeachillplaylistforstu3495 uh, that's kinda fucked up to say... I'm a gay white guy dating a Mexican American. Base people off of their personality please. Ellen is a rotten person, but her being gay has nothing to do with it. People can be awful, regardless of anything. I should know considering I grew up in a homophobic racist religious family, and had to deal with it for years. I had to fight my way out of a shit upbringing and learn to be a good person myself, only to be put into a basket just hurts. I'm sorry if I over reacted, but your comment just came off as kinda ignorant and hateful. I get what you're saying, a decent amount of white people can be ignorant and hypocritical and hateful, and minorities certainly need to be heard, but this isn't a good way to go about it.

Yeah and I’m a big fan of him Iv been watching him for years on RU-vid and it’s great that he was getting a platform for more ppl to be exposed to him and then the interview does that ! What the fuck!

Idk who he is but drop his name I wanna hear his music tbh

ellen doesn't give af about celebrities from non english speaking countries, when bts were on there the 2nd time she said they have to reintroduce themselves because nobody could tell them apart with the same hair color... like how she didn't see how that was blatantly racist is beyond me

@@coderainbow2581 what's his name? i wanna check him out

- Icedcoffeeat1am - feng e

I think she thinks because she donates money to organizations that that makes her a good person.

“Doesn’t understand” - I’m sure she does understand but just doesn’t care

@@bebos3001 fullmetal alchemist flashbacks

That's fucked. Her audience seems horribly toxic, too. They are all that one friend's mom everyone hates, who acts like everyone's mom (including the neighborhood and the school staff). Angry venomous WASPs. Some of the shots of the audience remind me of the reptile bar scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The movie sure, but mainly Ralph Steadman's artistic depiction in the book. Gruesome. Faces like cruel pre-avian predators, laughing at someone being mean to others and lapping it up like blood

I get a strong "hates their life and in deep denial about it, takes it out passive aggressively, and probably buys at least two boxes of wine a week on top of the Xanax prescription they pay a private doctor out of pocket to write without medical need" from that crowd.

Yess that clip infuriated me. Taylor was literally begging her to stop it and she just kept doing it while everyone laughed. I would hate her if I was Taylor

I found one other comment about it and yeah, it was really awful. That's what put me off her before knowing everything else and also made me more of a Taylor Swift fan. Her music isn't entirely to my taste all the time, but I like HER

Not a Taylor swift fan, but that was bs.

Yeah, it really wasn’t that bad!! It was completely recognizable as her and Portia and the proportions were pretty good.

It was definitely 100x better than I ever could have done. She seriously disgusts me sometimes.

I actually thought that was a rlly good painting

Seriously. Why do people even go on her show...

@@richarddrawsstuff2728 prob money or exposure

quill prickle LMAO

that comment just cleared my whole ass skin, i love you

This comment is **chef’s kiss**

LMFAOOO us lesbians truly have some of the shittiest representation in media can we get an F in the chat

same

Tito Amadio Exactly!!!! How can she possibly claim ignorance 🤦🏻‍♀️ She really needs to separate fiction from the truth.

Like, Ellen, you try and translate one language into another.

I was so glad someone was commenting this. like hello? it's a language and isn't gonna be the same length or same phrases as English. Ellen wait a fucking second.

yeah that one made my heart drop to the floor. that made me so upset

@@quinevere I know some mandarin. From what I heard the translator translated up until "now you're playing electric guitar" and just began to translate Ellen's question before she cut her off. Like wtf. Be patience, woman.

You can see the cracks in Ellen’s fake “nice” persona, her real personality slips out.

Thought the exact same thing. He has a knack for running defense for horrible people.

A lesbian woman with a short mop of hair on her head nonetheless

@Cherry Mae Raviz no dude you're getting it wrong. She is saying that the boy should have short hair cause thats a "gender role" when she "isn't following her gender role" . She is a hypocrite

how much do u wanna bet shes a terf lmao

@@fluxbird wouldn't surprise me

Luvoxia _Flowerz they agreed, you misunderstood

I know, she was like enunciating like "what. else. does. he. like?" like sorry bitch, every language's sentences don't have matching lengths. Some things require more words in other languages. It's like being upset at your spanish translator that "buenos dias" has one more syllable than "good morning"

As a person that fluently speaks two languages I can tell you translating live is REALLY hard. You can't just translate literally as most of the time it would make absolutely no sense. You constantly have to think of what the best way to translate a sentence would be and what to say. I can't even imagine having to do all of that while being live in front of thousands of people and even more behind a television. Ellen was being very rude there

@@pawelodziomek4908honestly, like I would be translating things to my grandmother who’s English is very poor and that’s already stressful enough to make sure I tell her the correct things so I’m really proud of the interpreter for being able to translate in front of a live audience. So it really pissed me off when Ellen would blatantly ignore the stressful situation of being able to translate English to Chinese mandarin. And it also seemed that the interpreter was also somewhat starting her 20’s so of course her Chinese wouldn’t be as professional as a professional translator. I’m really proud of her tbh💓

Yes, like how he prides himself as being “the cruel city slicker,” as he put it with Jack McBrayer, but it’s obvious he’s good in his heart. Jack and others have stuck close to him all these years for a reason. Ellen always came off as uninteresting and cold to me

I'm not sure anyone really knows how to fold a map tbh, I think we're all just guessing

Folding a map is impossible

Nobody can. It's the same with Leaflets. Once unfolded it never goes back like before 😁

Some older adults can't even read a map. My husband works in delivery and has stories of all ages of people who can't traverse a town or map

Laura Deist nobody can fold maps. It’s impossible.

@simone k how old are you

​@simone k So it's completely fine if you spend time on a anything for your idol and they straight up insult it on their TV show just because they "didn't like it"?

@simone k It wasn't just "not liking a painting," it was broadcasting her dislike for something that a fan created for her on television and in front of a live audience. If you've ever made something for someone you really liked, imagine if they went on television, showed it, and made remarks that it looked bad

simone k What does their mom have to do with this?

As an art historian and artist, i can tell there was a deep amount of love and time baked into that image. Someone painstakingly shaded their faces, looked intensely at their references, and tried their best just to make their heroes happy, just to make them feel idolozed and loved. Even the basic form of the portrait is so lovingly created! And then, she just shits all over it on stage, in front of a global audience. That kind of shit can make someone stop painting entirely, stop improving their craft, stop doing what they love, out of shame. Fuck ellen's response.

Do you mind sharing the name of the guy? Just so I know who this kind person is.

@@amelieg246 Sure! It's Thomas Sanders, i have some speedpaints of drawings i made for him on my chanel too if u were curious :D

@@aceaceinyoface7289 ah I'm not surprised. He always comes across as the loveliest person

Agree wholeheartedly

Also, she literally had a business since she was like 15 or something. She apparently sells pencil bags on Etsy. She's really cool but they're laughing at her for not being able to fold a map, can Ellen churn butter? Edit: since she was 11

Apparently Danny Devito was right

Ashik Jaman wait what did Danny devito say

H H i think they were referring to how he directed matilda

hobo megan i agree. I’m just learning to shade and it’s so difficult. The shading on the cheeks, with the highlights and everything, looked amazing. I find it straight up disgusting that people laughted at a drawing that they would need 7+ years to be able to do. Utterly shameless. It looked fantastic.

And what adds to it is that this person took the time to make something, for free, as a passion project for Ellen. A fan. Aaaaand she dissed them for not being a renaissance master.

Right?! Like, it’s not the best painting in the world, but it’s good!! You can tell that there was a lot of care and effort and TIME that went into making it! Someone most likely spent hours devoted to making something for someone they admire, and then they get that thrown back in their face. It’s shameful behaviour.

My father is an artist who works on a lot of stuff, and I agree. A good painting, Ellen was just being a dick.

while it was mean of her to laugh at the painting, and I also doubt she could do better, the painting has a lot of flaws, you can see that the artist was aiming for realism but didn't have the technical skills to get there

the adversity she faces is different bcus she's a white woman and she goes through the world making fun of people that are different from her. like when she makes fun of people's accents on her show and stuff

@@araseen4358 exactly, that's what's so weird to meeee. like usually, if you get picked on about something uncontrollable, you learn to empathize with others going through similar things. but she just...doesn't. which is so dumb

@@araseen4358 i see where ur coming tho about the "getting a pass" or even a pat on the back for making fun of others because of white privilege. literally most of mainstream white humour is based on making fun of ppl lol

Literally the worst wlw representation 😔

She's the straightest lesbian out there, if that makes sense

That shit had me mad af. If I was the translator I would’ve walked away and had her try and translate herself.

Funny thing is the translator was already talking at a decent pace, literally translating what Ellen had said, not diverging at from it at all.

Lusahira S my partner speaks Chinese and he said this exact same thing when I showed him the clip but I got hella mad lol. The little boy was so sweet and they both deserve better.

That part made me so mad. It was seriously so disrespectful and rude! The interpreter was nice about it but her and that boy didn't deserve that treatment.

she was being a jerk but to be honest that translator did a terrible job there, she stuttered and repeated things she already translated before... not defending ellen, just telling the truth.

For real though! We're not public speakers ffs...

That part made me so uncomfortable like who does that?

Ellen said it so like let her translate!! It a big deal

even worse, do we know that the interpreter has ever been on live national TV? the fuck

and the little boy!! you invite a non-english speaking guest onto your show, obviously knowing they'll need an interpreter, and then cut them off after 3 words in their native language. and not even just cut them off, but with a blatantly rude "ugh, never mind!!". and the guest is a CHILD

I know right? Poor thing! And the people laughing when Ellen commented as if that wasn’t the rudest thing to say to the poor translator!

I know, she was trying her best and from what I understand, she did an awesome job. They're different languages, a question won't be the same length or sound the same in a different language. Poor girl was helping Ellen and the boy speak to eachother and Ellen was just bashing her.

And considering that translating from languages like that to english and vice versa can be difficult.

​@@xeoney "I know, she was trying her best and from what I understand, she did an awesome job. They're different languages, a question won't be the same length or sound the same in a different language." it's not just it, but also there are additional connotations to be delivered, because you are talking to a child and you don't want to sound like a robot to him if you have a shred of a human decency.

Considering ellen is trying to be funny but made it a little offensive. Although that girl was not the best translator, I'm sure the show payed her to translate fast. What she did was saying a bunch of run-on sentences which she should do that in her head first. That would considered as unprofessional and waste of time. (I understand both English&Mandarin)

I’ve heard other commenters talk about this, and I’m tempted to look up what they’re talking about, but I don’t think I’d be able to handle witnessing someone being so mean to another person. It’s crazy how some can do that kind of thing, push boundaries, CLEARLY make others uncomfortable and straight up upset, and not even feel a little bad. It’s crazy.

@@ASweetShortCake it’s hard to watch, that’s for sure, she gets so fed up with Ellen that she just starts to cry, it shouldn’t have been aired but Ellen loves to use people :/

@@ASweetShortCake I made the mistake and went and looked it up, it's hard to watch. You can tell the whole time that Taylor is trying to be a "good sport" by laughing along at certain points, but every time she very seriously said that she wasn't comfortable with it or didn't want to do it - which was MULTIPLE times - Ellen ignored her. I couldn't fathom being in that position.

I'm surprised at the lack of mention of harassing people with phobias (or just flat out jumpscaring people in general, I think one celeb was on her third visit, had literally begged her not to do it anymore, and they jumped her *in the bathroom/dressing room* ?) to be fair, it's further down the totem pole of horrific shit she's done to her guests and staff, but I figured it bare mentioning.

I haven't made fanart but I used to draw and I agree. They tried the best they could

The painting wasnt even bad too. She acted like it was chicken scratch.

Look in all fairness, that painting is pretty mediocre at best, if the artist cant acknowledge that or have a sense of humour about it, he or she is not gonna get much better at it. You gotta have a sense of humor about yourself, if only to accept your own flaws.

@@helenomstreken7577 I don't think the issue is how good she thought it was but more of the fact that she made fun of it on national television. Constructive criticism is great, and there's nothing wrong with cracking a few jokes, but I think it would've been fine if she joked directly with the artist off screen rather than shooting it down in front of an audience.

As an artist who likes creating fanart as well, it hurt me so much. This is my worst nightmare: the person who I look up to shaming a painting/a drawing that I made for them. Whenever people don't understand why it's so hard to be open with your art, especially with your fanart this is the perfect example to show how vulnerable it is. People like Ellen have no idea what it's like to be in a position like this, but the worst part is that she doesn't even try to empathize.

@akida people don't understand how difficult translation/interpreting can be. Languages can often have different tones, sentence structure and grammar. It's not as simple as saying the same words, in the same order

@@generichuman2044 yeah. Correct me if I'm wrong. But doesn't the word ma. Have 5 different meanings depending on how you say it

D1G1TAL GAM1NG depending on the 4 tones, and what context, it can have several meaning. Also the Chinese syntax and grammar structure is different. So when she asks “What else do you want to learn?” In Chinese it will be like “You when you’re older want to learn what instrument?”

@@jolonghthong5377 oh. Dope

D1G1TAL GAM1NG A little dumb fun fact: there's a little poem in chinese that just has "ma" in it, but with different tone marks and one "man". (I think it's about a mother riding a slow horse) That being said, screw Ellen.

I think Obama or Michelle Obama will replace her because they had a lot of fun so they might become the new owners of the show

What if it’s Eric Andre and it’s still called the Ellen Degeneres show but with Eric Andre

@@liampretorius5523 ellen degenerate

I think the other lesbian Ellen should take her place. No one will notice.

And put us all to sleep?

I wonder if she is one of those anti-child people? They are few, but they do exist. It would certainly explain that if she was against "breeders".

It's messed up from Ellen to do it but Mariah could also just tell her that she doesn't like alcohol or something but I admit that something when under pressure you just crack and maybe Mariah felt trapped there which is really sad

@@alexandrad.7849 Ellen attacked her, just in a super underhanded and bitchy way. It's not proper to pressure someone about that, even if you are close and speaking privately. It's common knowledge that you dont disclose a pregnancy for a certain length of time because early term miscarriages are exceedingly common. Ellen is just a horrible and abusive person.

@@rosemali3022 most anti-child people hate the ones that already exist, not fetuses.

@@rosemali3022 i totally agree with you, Ellen doesn't have manners and is just rude and really self centered after all. Like for the painting thing, she could have just said that she appreciates the thought and thinks that its really sweet from the fan to have done the painting but instead she was just "yeah that's ugly".. She needs to have some education on manners and how to be more empathetic/sympathetic too

I worked for several years out of high school as an instructional aide for 2nd graders, plus one summer as a 2nd grade camp counselor. I have a scrapbook of every card, drawing, and craft the kids ever gifted me, as well as a box with all the little trinkets they'd give me like marbles, shells, and bracelets. Even if that painting wasn't done by a child, it still clearly took an incredible amount of time and effort, plus the cost of the supplies, and it's actually quite good, I couldn't fathom being as unkind as Ellen was about such a thoughtful gift.

exactly! she’s always been so weird towards asians, so that’s why i don’t like her at ALL.

matea agreed. it irks me so much yet the audience still laughs uncontrollably like ellen is the funniest person on earth.

I speak Spanish and French, and obviously these languages are different than what the situation bUT I HAVE EVEN HAD TO EXPLAIN IN MUCH MORE SENTENCES BECAUSE WORD OR PHRASES DONT DIRECTLY TRANSLATE INTO ANOTHER LANGUAGE. Like that’s literally why google translate isn’t that good

Xochilt Aviles yup exactly! and chinese is even harder to translate from/into english. being such a privileged white woman with a massive platform she should use it for good rather than to make a joke out of ignorance towards other languages and cultures. the fact that she can't wait 30 seconds for someone to translate something she doesn't understand and instead tries to make fun of it is such a waste of a huge platform. it's also just completely ignorant. from what i understand you're fluent in at least 3 languages, and that's an amazing skill. for the translator to be fluent in a chinese language and english is also an amazing skill, and they're just trying to do their job. it's only human to trip up on translating something, i know from experience, because like you said half the time the words dont even translate properly. chinese and english are on like opposite ends of the spectrum too. it's hard enough translating those two, but also to be put on the spot, hurried and pretty much made fun of on national television? i cannot believe how privileged ellen thinks she is to be so ignorant to that she acts like that when she can only speak english.

as someone who speaks a conversational level of chinese (can't read or write, but i was brought up in a chinese household) - the translator was 100% spot on with her translation (including the bit about learning the electric guitar) and that pisses me off even more. "just ask him what I'm saying" SHE IS DOING EXACTLY THAT.

i didn't like her until i saw that interview. she was the beginning of the end.

Agreed. Hated her character of Ana Steele but she seems to be a decent person in real life.

@@missamieholly2313 good to remember that actors are not their characters

Not really, some sentences in Chinese are just longer compared to their English counterparts.

Wadu Kek in some situations yes but Claudia is right about this case. The translator was repeating Ellen’s first statement, “you’re learning how to play the electric guitar right now” before asking her question about if there are any other instruments he’s learning.

Riley Wagner you’re right, wasn’t listening fully to the translator thank you

I dont even speak Chinese (srry if it isn't Chinese) and I knew that Ellen's just dumb

shes so rude to translators of ANY language

It's hard enough telling friends and family if something like this happens, I can't imagine having to tell the whole world.

That was an absolute shitty thing to do. I feel so sorry for Mariah who had to go through that

It was so awful.

Plus it's none of our business.

As someone who has suffered miscarriages, you are 1 bazillion percent correct. Most people strive to keep it under wraps until into the second trimester.

also it is really common for women to not tell people that they are pregnant for the first three months of their pregnancy because that is when is most common for there to be complications/for them to lose the baby. i feel like ellen as a woman should be more empathetic to that privacy

I thought all talk shows on TV are scripted. I think she might have asked Mariah if she could announce her pregnancy. Was I wrong?

Karthik Naganath idk she seemed legitimately uncomfortable and unhappy with being forced to answer this question and it’s not like she could be outwardly angry or leave because the press would be all over it in seconds making her look bad.

@@typhoys I think some segments are scripted but her discomfort there seemed genuine and like she truly didnt want to talk about it which is understandable

I think what’s worse is she ended up miscarrying and it’s just horrible that she pushed her into it when she could’ve handled it privately.

my greatest fear is jake gyllenhaal

@@angelbait5 Jake Gyllenhaal from Nightcrawler is my biggest fear

tee hee

KAKAKAKAKAKAK this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. KAKAKAKAKAKA! But I am happy agayn because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I use them to get views on my videos! KAKAKAKAK!!! Good day, dear tacko

@@AxxLAfriku oh hey...I recognize you!

I´m glad she has no kids. They would end up being laughed for they hair, gifts and other things. Or worse. The would grow up with sass in the ass lol

AxxL Wow, it’s almost like you’re not that relevant.

Honestly I’m fine with women breaking the gender norms but come on how are you gonna criticize a CHILD for doing exactly what you’re doing zzz

@@rockangels2916 Just seemed kinda mean

@@rockangels2916 What a weak ass standup, using gender roles that she rejects herself lmfao

@@rockangels2916 she wasn't funny though

@@rockangels2916 Not only was it not funny, even if it were that doesn't change the message behind the joke. The joke is based on the premise that young boys shouldn't have long hair, which is something that she would probably claim she rejects if she wasn't the one saying it.

Wow, that's really intense. You're absolutely right, it's up to the mom to pick a good time to reveal the news! Personally, knowing the statistics and pregnant for the third time now: I prefer telling people right away. That way, if I do lose my baby, I'll have people there for support instead of dealing with that loss alone (no offense to my husband lol)

The weird thing is, i'm pretty sure most of the audience can't even used rotary phone or even folding a map since those 2 (mostly the later) are such an ancient technology that have been replaced for decades

Greg Brown yeah I think that’s a good way of putting it. They have to be nicer to the newer generations because we are the ones who are gonna be taking care of them when they are older

I legit know how to use all of those things. Even the typewriter (we had a full-blown typewriter back in kindergarten, and that was my absolute favourite thing to play with)

@@revolverjesus98Gen Zer here still now how to use a map and a radio. I still recognize Vhs tapes and other old tiny things.

JoybuzzahzTV I get your point, but if a new generation is not treated the way they want to be then I think they have the right to treat generations that treated them bad poorly to.

Megan Riehl i completely agree! it was so gross and disrespectful oh my god

right?? they were LITERALLY laughing and poking fun at the fact that they spoke another language she couldn't understand. like how is that a clever joke and not straight up prejudice?

Yeah can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that dakota johnson just straight up was not having it? She stood up for herself and still managed to stay graceful. We applaud her for the skill.

René Phillipps queen of standing up for herself 👏

I was impressed

'I dont think so' like. Why are you borderline gaslighting her just bc you were stupid enough to not check

i stan Dakota for this and in general.

When I read this, everything made sense.

My mom just ignores the fact that she's gay

I had an aunt who used to watch Ellen all the time but once she figured out she was a lesbian she stopped watching I told her multiple times that she used to but she denies all claims of it.

I just SCREAMED 🤣

She's the Kim Jong Un of Karens

*Chinese

@@rosalitabender6910 Yeah I know. Just a typo that I didn't feel like fixing.

it felt... very off, even from a very short clip. it’s just *hears response that is longer than like, 5 words* “ok that’s enough i guess”

this is peak racism from a hollywood Gem.

I got really annoyed with that as well. Ellen must be under the belief that like English, other languages are the same. So a question that is short is also short in another language when that isn't the case at all. I don't understand the language that the Chinese boy and his translator speaks, but I do speak French and English and those two languages are not the same at all. A question that is asked in English may be longer or even shorter in French depending on word usage or how French likes to shorten some of the questions or depending on how you want to ask your question. It's not only embarrassing for the translator, but incredibly embarrassing for Ellen. It shows just how ignorant she is.

Tbh, I'll just straight up yell "shut the hell up" at that point

it’s not true that women “aren’t supposed to announce” early on because of miscarriage, they can announce whenever they want. miscarriages can happen at any point. however, being a celebrity and wanting privacy to begin with i understand.

Plus announcing your pregnancy is a special thing that most people want to do in a specific way or tell certain people first

@@emmaw5330 I think what they meant is that it's common and often advised not to announce a pregnancy until you're past the point in which most miscarriages occur. Specifically to avoid a situation like this.

@@crowdemon_archives you can rarely do that when you are a public figure especially an actor/actress you never know how rabid some people's fans are

You had teachers like that? :(

Chelle Wallace I feel like when you have adhd, 85% of your teachers are like that.

kirby bonk Damn, I’m sorry, bro

Ellen made Taylor swift cry on her show n joked abt it ;)

what is that bird called? I had one a long time ago...so long I don't remember anymore.

Is there a link to this?

There is also another comment thread on this with the link

I hate Ellen :P

That’s was really devious and to have her backed turned to the translator only to cut her off

and the translator is translating exactly what she's saying

@@tzhou1272 I thought she was trying to explain what ellen was saying so the kid could understand better. I felt bad when she apologized :(

Fr, sentences in English are not the same length as other languages, I know this, being the weeb I am- so the girl didn't even do anything wrong and it piSseS mE OfF-

icry ;-; ikr! I’m italian and it takes so much longer to say something in Italian and like half the speed in english

So painful if someone wants to get pregnant but can’t and people ask them. (Or this situation, where someone has to make public they had a miscarriage.)

It’s a big violation of privacy. I know many women in my family who have had pregnancies but waited a couple months to announce it because you really never know what’s going to happen

kittypie Exactly. It is so insensitive to force someone to announce before they are ready.

kittypie - One of my dear friends got pregnant with her second child, was very excited and told everyone, and then miscarried in her 2nd-3rd month. So with her third child, she didn't tell anyone besides a couple close friends, and some family, until her 4th month. I watched my own mother go through 4 miscarriages, each time she lost the child in the first couple months. Miscarriages aren't at all uncommon, especially with women 30+, specifically in the first trimester. So lots of women don't say anything until their second trimester. To force someone into announcing it is just despicable and heartless.

Happily Explosive Given the number of times Ellen made guests uncomfortable, I suspect that there is a gap between those pre-interviews and the real ones. (It could be due to bad communication on the side of the staff.)

Thanks for bringing that up! There’s definitely a parallel there

That moment when you invite someone who isn't English to a show, and they have the AUDACITY to not know English..

@@genericname2747 Momento mori. I literally struggle to tell the difference between he Unus and the Annus icons, I'm sorry lmao.

@@genericname2747 I think you're an Unus tho lol, Me too :D

LMAO💀💀💀

She also sound have made an effort to learn his language instead of getting upset when the world revolves around her

I imagined that very thing while watching the clip and the cruelty of it brought tears to my eyes.

@@whoopsydaisy6389 but fr though, Its such a valid response I couldn't help saying that with how dramatically it was worded

@@gothofgapefuitton8252 It's a perfectly reasonable reaction to someone being cruel.

@@yaycb From what I've heard, Ellen even started prodding her about an ex in particular that was abusive to her, which is what ended up leading to the breakdown
