Remember those heady days when Tyra Banks was a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, a Victoria's Secret lingere model, and not batshit crazy? We do, and so does CollegeHumor.com, who posted a video of Tyra screaming, jumping around, and rolling around on the floor after she gave away what looks like jewel-encrusted containers of Vaseline to the audience of her talk show.I mean, it's almost like she gave everyone a house... in the clip, she screams, "Open it, open it, open it!", then goes all Al Pacino with the audience, yelling "You get Vaseline.... You get Vaseline..." as she points to the audience. But I'm not sure who's nuttier: Tyra, who has admitted on her show that she is deathly afraid of dolphins, or her audience, who is screaming like lottery winners over a couple of ounces of Vaseline? Maybe that bling on the outside is actually real.
(Update: I've been beaten about the head and shoulders by our commenters for failing to realize Tyra was parodying Oprah's car giveaway episode. Still, doesn't dismiss Tyra's nutty behavior.)
The video is after the jump (If you don't see it, click on the whitespace and it'll appear).

Hello!? Sense of humor?? She's obviously parodying Orpah's car giveaway. She's saying the exact same thing Oprah was saying!

That sound you hear is me smacking my forehead.
Damn. You're right, Navstar. Still looks nutty.

How could you not know that it was a parody of Oprah's car giveaway?
Should you really be reviewing on this site?

No fooling -- this is deadeyed parody and it's surprising a "tv writer" would have missed it. Tyra even does a fair approximation of Oprah's voice gurgling about various giveaways or visiting stars. And, as an added bonus, we get to see Tyra Banks shrieking spread-eagled on the floor -- something I've been waiting quite a while to see.

So what's really nutty is how many people took that joke seriously.
