So, there’s a number of weird shows out there, and a few of them just happen to be on TLC.
One of them is Dr. Pimple Popper and let it be known that it’s one of the weirdest but to some, most satisfying shows out there.
Be warned, dear reader.
You have to be a certain kind of person to get through this article unphased. Someone who is not faint of heart, and certainly not faint of the stomach either.
You have been warned.
Let’s talk about ‘Dr. Pimple Popper.’
Dr. Sandra Lee is an American dermatologist that specializes in… well, you know the name of the show.
It’s yet another one of those strange shows you see on TLC.
The show is exactly what it sounds like.
She removes pimples, cysts and more from people.
So she definitely helps people’s self-esteem!
So much so that they’re willing to go on TV to get their huge pimples removed.
And for most, it’s pretty darn gross.
And why shouldn’t it be? Popping pimples has been one of the biggest gross-out tactics for people all throughout the years.
However, Dr. Lee does a lot of good…
Not only does she restore some self-esteem to patients, but if they agree to do her show and/or let her record the pimple popping for her YouTube channel, she’ll pay for their treatments!
Yes, you heard that right.
Heck, you can hear it from the pimple popping horse’s mouth:
“So, many dermatologists we won’t remove them, they say, ‘You have a blackhead there but don’t worry about it.’ But now, I’ll do the extractions for free if my patients let me videotape and use the video,” Dr. Lee said . “Of course, I make them anonymous and remove anything identifying.”
But people are obsessed with it not so much because she helps people…
But because it’s satisfying for them to watch.
Well, I’ll never get it, but to each their own.
We should talk about this phenomenon a little bit…
Because it’s how Sandra Lee got her show.
Back in the far off year of 2010, Sandra Lee started to post some of her pimple popping videos on that wretched hive of scum and villainy known as YouTube.
She posted here and there…
Until around 2015, when she started to notice that the videos she posted where she popped pimples started to get a whole lot of views.
And this sentiment was reflected in society as well.
For some reason, around the time that YouTube started to get really popular, people started to really get into pimple popping videos.
Maybe it was the internet slithering its sinister tentacles around the minds of the viewers, maybe it was one of the moments the Book of Revelation was talking about…
Maybe it really is “satisfying.”
To watch a pimple spew pus from inside it, curling around a person’s face with the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
Uh… I guess it sounds satisfying in a… really weird way…
I don’t know.
All I know is that now Dr. Sandra Lee is TLC famous, and everyone can now go to her Instagram (or her YouTube) to see some good old fashioned pimple popping.
Recently, the doctor teased a mystery cyst.
But she posted the video on Instagram so her followers wouldn’t have to wait long.

It’s gross, so be warned.
Here’s the disgusting video.
It’s not for the faint of heart, seriously, I cringed through the whole thing.
Does it satisfy you? Let us know in the comments!
Just for fun…
We’ve decided to include a couple more pimple pops for those of you out there looking to get your satisfaction fix.
In this one, she pulls a bulb out of a man’s head.
Alright, one more…
Before I get sick.
In this one, she pulls a “bicep Lipoma” from someone’s arm.
Mm, there’s nothing more satisfying than that!
