This morning, Maury aired one of the weirdest episodes of the past decade, and, considering the show's usual subject matter, that's saying a lot. Today, the guests were all women with strange phobias, like being afraid of Jell-O, chicken, and cotton balls. Instead of helping these women or having a psychologist talk to them, Maury and his audience laughed at them, and Maury went to extremes to torture them. For example, Carolyn, a woman who is deathly afraid of cotton balls, has had a recurring nightmare for most of her life about a man made of cotton balls who tries to kill her. So Mo had two guys dress up in cotton ball costumes and chase her around the studio. Here's a tip for Carolyn should anyone try this again: spray the cotton ball men with a hose. They'll absorb all the water and hopefully fall down, and you can then commence kicking them in the cotton-less balls. Clip above.
