Fox News Viral Video WTF?!

Tucker Carlson’s ‘Homoerotic’ Promo For His New Documentary Is Beyond Bizarre

When you hear the name of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, what comes to mind?

For most, the image would probably be one of an ultraconservative, priggish know-it-all who seems to think the world would be better off if everything reverted to the way it was at the beginning of the 19th century.

So you can certainly understand why a promo video for Carlson’s new documentary, entitled “The End of Men,” has drawn so much debate on social media, with many suggesting that the Fox host is trying to tell us all something about himself that he doesn’t exactly think fits with his carefully-crafted image.

Uproxx explains the promo video this way:

In a preview of his forthcoming new season of “Tucker Carlson Originals,” the host promises to cover “one of the biggest stories of our lifetime,” namely “the total collapse of testosterone levels in American men.” What is he talking about? He’s almost certainly promising even more transphobia on the same station that recently hired Caitlyn Jenner. But the trailer for the doc also promises lots of shots of shirtless men with glistening six packs doing things like shooting guns, milking cows, and what appears to be tanning their testicles.

Here, see for yourself:

What in the hell was that? Did someone just hack my cell phone and start playing man on man videos 24/7?

That trailer has caused a hell of a lot of debate on Twitter:

There were lots of jokes, addressing both its “homoerotic” overtones and its similarities to the work of Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose film of the 1936 Berlin Olympics fetishizes the male form.

But perhaps the most obvious question is whether or not Carlson needs to sit his wife and kids down and have a conversation.

Take a look at what’s being said:
