an ama means that anything can be asked
and unfortunately these individuals and
groups were not ready for that but first
I want to tell you about what I’m going
to do today they lured me in here
because I love steak welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 worst
reddit AMA before we begin we publish
new videos every day so be sure to
subscribe for more great content for
this list we’re looking through the
worst of the worst
reddit AMAs by public figures oh and in
case you weren’t aware AMA stands for
ask me anything let’s go I’m ready
number 10 the Westboro Baptist Church
ironically this high profile church
group which has made a name for itself
through hate speech held an AMA as part
of their campaign against reddit just
days before their planned demonstration
at Reddit HQ users flocked to the page
shutting down pretty much every serious
WBC response by downloading them into
oblivion the top comment reads Finding
Nemo is a movie about clownfish all
clownfish are born male when the top
female dies the top male becomes female
and takes over how do you feel about
this there they are it’s alright going
to be okay
oh no they took them away unfortunately
like most of the questions this one did
not get answered but we’d sure like to
hear the response number 9 Mike will
made it super producer extraordinaire
Mike will made it has clearly got skills
considering he’s produced some of the
hottest songs of the early 21st century
hey on TV 10 nudists Timmy and see what
his friend
but successfully running an AMA does not
seem to be among his strong suits most
of his responses to questions consisted
of one-word answers and in some cases
what appear to be Mike will repeatedly
smacking his head into the keyboard the
top comment of the thread is insightful
and served as a beautifully tied bow
around this dumpster fire of an AMA
quite simply it says yo this is an awful
ama number eight Morgan Freeman I am God
although the internet generally seems to
love Morgan Freeman
they couldn’t forgive him for this AMA
over the course of the Q&A most of
Freeman’s answers were to put a bluntly
dull putting words to the sentiment many
felt one user wrote I don’t get the
Morgan Freeman’s vibe the AMA was met
with further controversy when hordes of
users began speculating that the AMA was
actually being hosted by a PR person and
not Freeman himself the resulting
outrage from this disaster got so
uncontrollable that read its general
manager at the time Eric Martin also
known as Huey priest actually did an AMA
himself in order to clear the air and
open up a discussion about the celebrity
AMA process number seven Scott staff
there are few bands that the internet
enjoys ragging on more than Creed
[Applause]
and so when lead singer Scott staff
decided to do an AMA reddit users
reacted accordingly questions were asked
on subjects ranging from staffs feud
with the band 311 to the possibility of
a joint album with fellow magnets of
internet hate Nickelback
however Scott’s AMA wasn’t an utter
disaster he’s got experience dealing
with trolls and it shows when asked how
he handles the hate step answered with I
can’t lie
there are times it gets to me I’ve
learned to channel the negative energy
into motivation then like most anime
musicians he proceeded to shamelessly
promote his new album number six
Jose Canseco former steroid user and
former Major League Baseball player Jose
Canseco has become a bit of a reddit
phenomenon after this absurd AMA
performance over the course of his life
Jose has acquired a reputation as to put
it kindly a bit of a jerk roughly half
of the AMA posts consisted of users
simply recounting their terrible
personal experience meeting the athlete
in an interesting role reversal when
Jose did chime in it was usually to
troll users depending on your opinion of
can Seco you may actually enjoy this ama
as many of Jose’s snappy responses are
actually darkly hilarious but by
traditional standards yes it was a train
wreck
number 5 rachel maddow television host
and political commentator rachel maddow
ama is a textbook example of a public
figure ignoring the real questions
considering her line of work she should
have been ready to face a tough crowd
but rather than address the heavier
questions voted to the top she focused
on queries such as whether she puts
toothpaste on the toothbrush before or
after the water and what her favorite
smell is answering such trivial
questions is part of the fun but the
overall sentiment was that Maddow
intentionally avoided the heavier
subject reddit’s dissatisfaction with
the AMA continued to bubble to the point
that our representative from MSNBC had
to release a statement defending Maddow
number 4 Perez Hilton I’m not about to
cry I’m about to laugh ok
also absurd rate it didn’t take too
kindly to a Perez Hilton AMA considering
his resume which includes outing
closeted celebrities and poking fun at
Michael Jackson moments before his desk
it was never going to be a smooth ride
and although Perez has gone on to say
that he’s trying his best to be a
different person he was quickly reminded
by users that actions speak louder than
words
reddit offered up a heavy dose of
internet karma as punishment for the
means by which he rose to fame one
particularly funny exchange went as
follows who told you this would be a
good idea you should fire that person it
was my idea you’re fired
number three and Colter and Coulter’s
reddit AMA was destined to be a failure
from the moment it was conceived after
having trouble logging into a reddit
account Colter is somehow found a way to
link the technical difficulties with the
Obama administration once signed in
however the real nightmare began
in all fairness Colter actually answered
a lot of questions but for better or for
worse
redditors proceeded to downvote most of
them with reckless abandon many of the
questions were naturally about politics
but considering cultures incendiary
reputation there was a whole lot of
mudslinging between the community and
the conservative commentator number 2
Wyclef Jean Wyclef Jean’s original plan
for his AMA was to celebrate the 20th
anniversary of the Fugees classic albums
the score
really
unfortunately a reddit ask me anything
means that reddit can literally ask you
anything
and users decided to take Wyclef Jean to
task about all the money his charity
raised and then failed to deliver to the
Haitian people the organization y la
Haiti raised an estimated 16 million
dollars for earthquake relief but it was
reported that 9 million dollars of that
money had been spent on the organization
itself or was otherwise mishandled and
this definitely came up during Wieck
left AMA before we reveal our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one woody harrelson it was the
AMA to end all terrible AMAs a lot of
celebrities used the am a platform to
shamelessly promote some sort of product
but reddit never responds well to having
a new movie shoved down their collective
throat and that’s exactly what Harrelson
did with this one don’t say a word and I
have to take care of the cause of you
with each comment what he fumbled the
questions around to make them all sort
of about rampart one user even suggested
the title of the AMA be changed to a ma
AR ask me anything about rampart to
which Harrelson seriously misjudging the
mood agreed the AMA has gone down in
infamy and it’s become some sort of
legend in the reddit community
continuing to inspire memes to this day
farting and what is it do you agree with
