Jimmy Fallon Jokes About Duggar Courtship

[eye_browz]

At about 4:35, Jimmy Fallon pokes fun at Ben asking Jessa to court.

 

Looking at the scene again, I'm convinced this courtship was not staged, in my personal opinion. After Ben asks Jessa, she freezes, as if she's thinking of what the "right" thing to do. She's probably trying to think about what she read in the prince charming book. She stares at Michelle for a second, before she awkwardly decides to hug her, then JB says that she can hug Ben for 30 seconds. They weren't even comfortable enough with each other to give a side hug; she had to get permission first.

[Emme]

I rarely watch them anymore and I forgot how AWKWARD it all is

[Tangy Bee]

:cracking-up: :cracking-up: :cracking-up: OMG! I didn't think Jimmy would even watch a show like that. I SO hope he does another one! The Duggars are moving up in the world

From their perspective, it's probably down.

I like.

The more media attention they get, maybe the more attention on their shady shit....

::dies::

Thank you so much for posting.

I think we should add a "Side hugs hard" level to FJ!

[Dutch_girl]

Whoooaaaa :pink-shock:

that's the first time I saw that part and I can't get over the level of awkwardness.. Just.. nnnoooo :o

And then... laughed sooo hard, thanx Jimmy!

[DGayle]

I didn't expect that clip to be as funny as it was. Oh my god even Jimmy was losing it.

[debrand]

I had to explain to my husband and daughter what side hugging is or why hugging front to front is considered wrong in that culture. They both just gave me puzzled, what the fuck looks. I've discussed fundies with you guys so long that I had forgotten how really weird the side hugs are.

[Jana814]

Wouldn't that be nice!

[Firiel]

Oh. My. Gosh.

That was so awkward it hurt.

I'm so glad you posted this clip!

Wait, did that seriously happen? Can't watch the video right now.

What happens at 31 seconds? Penises get involved in side hugging? By 60 seconds of side hugging, could you be pregnant?!?

I hope that mainstream media exposure like Jimmy Fallon continues to spotlight how extreme Duggar views are. Hell, Bates kids are allowed way more (chaperoned) physical contact with their significant others than the Duggarlings are.

Here's Alyssa FRONTHUGGING John Webster when they started courting:

Bates gone wild!

At least they can touch without being made to feel guilty. I feel so sorry for Jessa being made fun of because her father is such a weirdo. Not here, but having that clip shown as comedy would hurt if she knew.

So many people watch the show as a train wreck anyway that this is nothing new. Her parents chose this for her and her siblings.

This brings up a question:

Wouldn't the kids over 18 (or is majority 19 in Arkansas? It is in my state) be able to refuse to appear? I would think once they are adults they would have to sign their own releases with TLC.

[nokidsmom]

I find it pretty sad that Jessa, an adult, has to ask permission for even a side hug. Why not say, "damn it, I like the guy, I am hugging him!" or better yet "Ben has to talk to me personally, butt out".

Agree that if she knew about the clip, it would bother her.

And I would be flat out ashamed of having some like JB as my dad. While I do think he loves his daughters, his pranks and idea of what's funny is really immature. He's still the 19 year old that he was when he got married.
