  • Lip Filler

    Ben Shapiro humorously addresses allegations of having undergone cosmetic surgery, specifically lip fillers. He shares how a viral video by a plastic surgeon has sparked rumors about his appearance, despite his firm denial of ever having such procedures. Shapiro finds amusement in the public's interest in his looks, emphasizing his natural appearance and dismissing the claims as unfounded.

    I'm a human with a soul. I'm a human with feelings. So you stop that right now. Internet, you and your lip filler obsessions.

    Masked Perceptions

    Shapiro offers a satirical take on a study suggesting that unattractive people are more likely to wear masks post-COVID. He humorously connects this finding to why audiences of certain shows, like Jimmy Kimmel's, remain masked, suggesting it's either due to fear or self-perception. The study indicates that those who consider themselves attractive believe masks hinder their ability to make a good impression, while others feel masks enhance their appearance.

    If you think that you are not that attractive, you are very much happy to be wearing a bag over your head or a mask over your face.

    Shapiro uses this study to critique societal norms and perceptions of beauty, blending humor with a critique of how people view themselves and others 2.
