This is not bullying behavior. Lighten up.

Honestly, I think they're both a bit immature and silly in general--the repartee reminds me of my brothers, even though they're half the age of David and MarkCharles. For me, it's all just groan-inducingly goofy, not mean spirited.

I like that fun interaction.  It's in no way immaturity.  Imaturity is being nasty and bullying behavior, doing something that doing it only the person finds funny to someone who does not like or could be harmed by what was being done.  The joking is showing that they are not just working together but are friends and really like each other.  Maybe those without a sense of humor might not get it  but life is way to short to not have fun. How boring would life be if everyone was way too serious to joke.   


Bullying is what he is doing.  Mark Charles is not a baby and doesn't cry about it but he doesn't bully back to David and Mark Charles laughs, but it's not a genuine fun laugh.  I am not saying David should be serious as that would be boring, but he acts like a bully then turns around and makes it look like JUST FUN.  Bullying people is not being FUN.  I know people like that and they are rude and make people feel uncomfortable.  Now I will get out of here.


I don't find it bullying in the least.  I think you are imposing your own reactions to this type of interaction onto them.  David and Mark Charles are great friends in their personal lives, along with Tara Tesher and her husband.  If you saw David, and Tara's separate Instagram pages you'd see how close they are, including Mark Charles.  So that kidding on air is a continuation and product of their friendship, not bullying at all.

 

People throw that word around recklessly, and that is just not right.  If their behavior makes you uncomfortable, that's on you.  It shouldn't be character defamation of people you don't even know.

ITKWD needs some updating.  Tired of the same "chats" and  Copper Chef, Temptations, etc. over and over again.  Also, don't like to have to view "cleaning products" on the kitchen shows.  That could be on a different program.   (Yes, I seldom watch an entire show any more--I change the channel)

I am so sick of the happy dance, flapping fingers and especially the inappropriate use of derogatory name calling of women such as "hello pretty", "bread and butter", etc by David Venable.  He needs to grow up and wise up to the ME TOO movement.

@comedy clubber. He will never be involved in the Me Too movement. No worries there.

I agree.  All the ladies are "sweetie", "angel", etc.  Don't need the "hip bumps" either.
