[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to love but have been turned off in the few clips I've seen of her show in the past year or two.  There seems to be an underlying meanness to her that wasn't there in the past. [/quote]

This! She tries to play it off as sarcasm but it's obvious mean-spirited elitism. She clearly thinks all the lunatics in her audience are losers.[/quote]

Does anyone have a clip of her being mean spirited? [/quote]

I'm the first poster above. I'm not sure I could find a clip that would suffice.  It's too subtle.  My impression is more the result of seeing several clips where something she said or did just struck me as not right but that could easily be seen as fine.  I'm terrible at posting clips from my iPad, but you could search YouTube, if interested, for the following:

Kristen Bell interview where she talks about being surprised by a sloth for her birthday. The very end of the interview. (Bell is hilarious!)
Ellen and Michelle Obama at the drugstore.
Ellen with a bunch of little kids pretending to answer the phone.

Mean is probably too strong of a word. But I have a bad gut reaction too often when I see her. I don't ever watch her show, so I've stumbled upon these clips through other means.  Very disappointing, because I always loved her good cheer and wholesomeness.

Omg, the clip with Ellen and Kristen Bell is hilarious.  How was that mean spirited.  Kristen was clearly there to make fun of her self for crying.  And Ellen just made it more entertaining.  Kristen was laughing.[/quote]
