We all know watching the Oscars is America's favorite pastime, but it was surprisingly eclipsed by several other shows this year! Here's a list of programs that outperformed the Oscars' ratings in 2021.
1. Wilford Brimley's diabetes commercial: To be fair, it's tough to compete with Brimley's authoritative voice and majestic walrus mustache. Diabeetus.
2. Arlo Huckleberry's infrared trail camera in Arkansas: This riveting viewing of various forest critters prowling around the hills at night averages 12 million views per day.
3. YouTube livestream of paint drying: Most audiences prefer this to lectures from millionaire celebrities.
4. TikTok reaction video to YouTube livestream of paint drying: Even more popular, because who doesn't like zany reactions?
5. Video of someone unboxing the camera that was used to film the TikTok reaction to the YouTube livestream of paint drying: It's a reeeaaally nice camera though.
6. A rerun of Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 where every other word is replaced with a clip of Owen Wilson saying "wow!": Admit it, you're looking this up already. We give it 5 out of 5 stars.
7. A very informative tutorial video showing you how to repair a Kenmore Series 8 washing machine that's not spinning: Those of us who aren't millionaire celebrities have to make these sorts of repairs ourselves. Plus, the Kenmore rep in the video was played by Wilford Brimley.
Once you've checked out all 7 of these phenomenal pieces of entertainment, give the Oscars a watch as well and learn from celebrities about how you can "be better". We'll see you here next year!
On that video on installing a Clarkman garbage disposer - there’s a mistake. You’ve got to dismantle the latch hasp from the auxiliary drainage line.
NOO-OOOOO!!!!!!!
You’ll not only void the warranty, you’ll invert the freeflux incapacitator, and turn your garbage disposer into a garbage dispenser—guaranteed or double your garbage back!
I really enjoyed watching the Oscars....
The Oscar Meyer Weiners roasting on my grill!
I named the plump one Joy Behar.
Especially if you plan to install it in your bathtub.
I didn’t watch the Oscars. But I saw the clip of that black woman host, who at the very beginning, started talking about how she was ready to march in Minneapolis if that trial didn’t end the way it did.
It was funny to me, how she said she knows America doesn’t like it when Hollywood is preaching to them, and she proceeds to act like a stereotypical Hollywood idiot and preach to us.
I like your subtle tie-in with garbage. Perfect metaphor.
LOL!
Babylon Bee is excellent!
Was the paint the type that goes on pink and dries to white? If so I’ll bet the show is really popular with stoners.

Those trail cams are pretty interesting.
Don’t forget “Cop Rock!” B-D
Germs!
I checked and discovered it was from Seinfeld, but for some reason I thought of SCTV.
The flux incapacitor?
Are we being swept up into the 1950s? ;)
Is that from the old movie “Bob, Carol, Ted & Alice”?
My evening is now complete, I can finally get some sleep. Mundo garcias.
A remarkable video. I skipped ahead to the 9 hour mark and near the end. Spoiler alert. One or two drips of paint move over the course of the 10 hours. I think its due to gravity.
