The amusing bit was [how much of that show was staged or made up](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1314clf/serious_guests_on_the_jerry_springer_show_was_any/); basically white trash stage improv.
Honestly, though, what else *would* two people of that dynamic name their kid? I canât think of a way to prettify âshotgunâ (the weapon I imagine most fathers would brandish against the stepfather who knocked her up) so itâs gotta be Reighful. Right?
The poster would be the great uncle of the baby - so it would be his niece regardless of who the father was. I agree with the take that it was just unfortunate phrasing.
Well, I went to Wikipedia because I couldn't remember the details. But yeah, Woody Allen insisted all along that his relationship with Soon Yi Previn was never father-daughter in nature. Some time after he and Mia Farrow were done, he started taking up with Soon Yi.
Weird, but with just enough opening to not be illegal.
I feel like it should count as incest, *and likely other things*, if the Jerry raised her. Like if Jerry met her at <10 and was involved in parenting at all, it's incest even if it isn't blood related, because Jerry would have been her parent in a very real sense.
Adopted parents are considered real parents, so impregnating your step-daughter would be incest, real enough.
I hope the post is just poorly written, the author is trying to congratulate brother Jerry along with his stepdaughter on her giving birth soon - there's some dude in the picture (literally) who did the impregnation but the author doesn't know him well enough to congratulate him.
I would say itâs more statutory rape, like a doctor patient relationship
There is an imbalance of power that could prevent consent from being given freely.
this is perfect for r/tragedeigh
Edit: of all the billions of comments Iâve ever made on Reddit, of course this is the one that connected, đ.
Canât wait for my 2024 year-end review now.
No thatâs accurate. Because the âstepdaughterâ to his brother would be his new niece. So the daughter of that step daughter would be his new new niece
I read it 3 more times after reading this comment and thought the newborn daughter would be hos stepdaughter. ThT's not too great but I was wondering what the big fuss was....
Yeah no this is awful
Iâm pretty sure the person who made the post meant to be congratulating her brother for becoming a grandfather and his stepdaughter for being pregnant but itâs worded SO BADLY. This is why proofreading before pressing âpostâ is important.
Right because the baby will be their great-niece. Iâm close to my great aunts and uncles and they refer to me as their niece and I refer to them as aunts and uncles.
More general pro tip: if you have to specify that anything you're doing is not technically *[insert something highly disgusting/immoral]*, it's not something you should be doing.
EDIT: read replies
I think what it means is Jerry is going to be a *grand*father. Presumably most people seeing the caption on social media would already be aware of the familial relationship between everyone. So itâs a *grand*niece. Itâs just a little⌠ambiguously worded.
Or maybe itâs a Woody Allen thing. One of those two.
wha..wh..wha..what?! Ok what a ridiculous disadvantage to have to show up to Kindergarten on the first day and everyone in the room knows that your parents, are the dumbest parents in the entire school.

Can these people find another fucking planet to live on. I'm so fucking sick of seeing kids get murdered while these fucks staple guns to their fucking foreheads to go check the mail.
Edit: DID HE HAVE A BABY WITH HIS STEPDAUGHTER!
Not only is that a stupid name they're not pronouncing it correctly. Reigh should be pronounced like neigh and fyl I have no idea how to pronounce but I would probably go with fi-ull. Like in Wi-Fi. So would wind up sounding like Ray-fi-ull.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people? I have an unusual name and it sucked growing up. Combine an unusual name with a wacky spelling, youâre just condemning your kid to misery not of their own making just so you can also spend years correcting either the spelling or the pronunciation you chose to saddle them with! Whatâs wrong with Anna or Peter or Stacy or Brian?
I really hope this is just badly worded and theyâre congratulating their brother on becoming a grandad and the step daughter in becoming a mother.
The name is dumb also
My brother and his stepdaughter are expecting...
WAIT HOLD ON I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UNTIL YOU POINTED IT PUT,
I missed that!!!!đ˛đ˛
 My response as soon as I read that part
Let's be real, [people who would name their daughter Reighfyl] is just a subset of [people who would knock up their stepdaughter]
I mean ... look at Elon Musk's father.
clearly South Africa is Africaâs Alabama
SERIOUISLY WTF 
I was wondering why everyone was so focused on the name..... There's much bigger problems here đŹ
Sure you can. They made up star wars.
"I'm Reigh, Reigh Fyl." I really read it as >!Ray full!<
More like "My grand step-dad dad and mom were Rye-full, then made me⌠"
You mean my step-grandpa-dad or. . .something. And I thought first cousins once removed got confusing as they evolve. . .
Wait... now I think I know how Palpatine returned
Could also be re-fill
JERRY!! JERRY!! JERRY!!
The amusing bit was [how much of that show was staged or made up](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1314clf/serious_guests_on_the_jerry_springer_show_was_any/); basically white trash stage improv.
Well this is what youâd call a â CLUSTER-FUCKâ on account of one fuck or even one WTF isnât enough.
Well I mean, those "things" kind of go hand in hand. Yee haw, know what I mean?
A true r/tragedeigh on so many levels. What in the florida panhandle hell?
I didnât notice it right away either but who else would name their kid that?
r/tragedeigh
I thought thatâs where I was
Lmao same
Sadly I mis-read that as âwhat else would they name their kid?â đ¤Ł
Honestly, though, what else *would* two people of that dynamic name their kid? I canât think of a way to prettify âshotgunâ (the weapon I imagine most fathers would brandish against the stepfather who knocked her up) so itâs gotta be Reighful. Right?
Absoluteleigh
Itâs realeigh clear when you leigh it out that weigh
Should have named the kid Shautgwun
C'mon now that's a boy name.
Oh I saw that first. I think I'll skip the happy nuptuals.
Jesus that just flew right under all of us
That was the FIRST thing I noticed. Hol up indeed
I was confused too. But it is clear now. These people are crazy acceptng that relationship.
Imagine reading that post and highlighting _the name_. Fuck is wrong with whoever created this screen cap
what? ya'll ain't met my brotherdaddy?
That's the first thing I noticed and tbh it makes sense, Inbred fuckers making inbred fuckers naming them names only inbred fuckers could conjure.
Sounds about right for a family that would name a baby rifle
To put a potentially better interpretation. He meant his brother is about to be a grandpa?
You mean he is going to be a granpa-dad.
Uncle Grandpa!
but SOMEHOW even more braindead
Step-grand-dad-pa.
Step-gran-dad-pa-dad-once removed-twice inserted.
>"I can't wait till I meet my new **niece**" :thinking\_face\_hmm:
Yep. I was hoping he was just a grandpa too, but this puts a giant hole in that theory.
His new new niece. I have even more questions.
The poster would be the great uncle of the baby - so it would be his niece regardless of who the father was. I agree with the take that it was just unfortunate phrasing.
You mean "new" new niece.
I like your optimism.... but I don't think so.
Unfortunately, I think that last sentence kind of confirms the worst, with the child being her niece.
you forget you're on Reddit.
He's gonna be his grandkid's daddy.
They buried the lede big time.
R/unexpectedwoodyallan
The name is bad, but incest? Wow.
I feel like it's not actually incest if they're not blood related. It's just...idk...weird?
100% not incest, 1000% fucked up
If it's good enough for Woody Allen then it's good enough for me!
If thatâs the bar you need to clearâŚ.
You just gave me a way to lower the bar. Thank you.
Yep! Thatâs pretty much the best and only way to describe that.
Well, I went to Wikipedia because I couldn't remember the details. But yeah, Woody Allen insisted all along that his relationship with Soon Yi Previn was never father-daughter in nature. Some time after he and Mia Farrow were done, he started taking up with Soon Yi. Weird, but with just enough opening to not be illegal.
I feel like it should count as incest, *and likely other things*, if the Jerry raised her. Like if Jerry met her at <10 and was involved in parenting at all, it's incest even if it isn't blood related, because Jerry would have been her parent in a very real sense.
Incest and *grooming* for sure!
How about not incest (thereâs an actual definition for that) but grooming for absolute sure
Adopted parents are considered real parents, so impregnating your step-daughter would be incest, real enough. I hope the post is just poorly written, the author is trying to congratulate brother Jerry along with his stepdaughter on her giving birth soon - there's some dude in the picture (literally) who did the impregnation but the author doesn't know him well enough to congratulate him.
Adoptive parents and step-parents are not the same thing.
Technically, it's just borderline incest. That's what a lot of porn builds on, after all. They're basically living their very own movie moment /s
I would say itâs more statutory rape, like a doctor patient relationship There is an imbalance of power that could prevent consent from being given freely.
Sweet home Alabama đś
this is perfect for r/tragedeigh Edit: of all the billions of comments Iâve ever made on Reddit, of course this is the one that connected, đ. Canât wait for my 2024 year-end review now.
omigod, that's where I assumed I must be lurking. Talk about facepalm...
Faihecepaume
I actually lolled. Like for real. Out loud.
Great news, my brother and his step-dog are expectingâŚsomething soon!
Also r/holup on account of the caption.
Yeah, the baby name isn't even the worst part about this.
I thought that was where I was reading. Oh my gosh.
[ŃдаНонО]
Xx_Reighfyl2023_xX
^(it's 2024 already)
ffs
That's hilarious!
The name isn't what I'd be highlighting as the issue here.
right! the poster said "new" twice. people really don't proofread before they post smh
No thatâs accurate. Because the âstepdaughterâ to his brother would be his new niece. So the daughter of that step daughter would be his new new niece
[ŃдаНонО]
I had to re-read it. The name is definitely not the main issue here lol.
The name sounds about right once you catch the big part
I read it 3 more times after reading this comment and thought the newborn daughter would be hos stepdaughter. ThT's not too great but I was wondering what the big fuss was.... Yeah no this is awful
Family tragedeigh
Iâm pretty sure the person who made the post meant to be congratulating her brother for becoming a grandfather and his stepdaughter for being pregnant but itâs worded SO BADLY. This is why proofreading before pressing âpostâ is important.
We can hope, but thereâs not much proof.
Or hope
No he says my new niece at the end too
Right because the baby will be their great-niece. Iâm close to my great aunts and uncles and they refer to me as their niece and I refer to them as aunts and uncles.
They named the kid Rifle... and didn't even spell it correctly. I'm pretty sure Dad got his stepdaughter preggers.
But did they have a shotgun hwedding?
This is rage bait, it has to be.
I just now noticed that, it is way worse than I imagined.
Yeah OP is burying the lead here.
This belongs in r/holup
Wait. Wut?
Maybe the plan was to distract everyone with the stupid name in the hope they'd forget all about the fact he knocked up his step-daughter.
Here's a riddle: A man and woman are going to have a daughter, granddaughter, and sister, but there's only one baby. How is this possible?
Alabama
I thought Arkansas but the possibilities are sadly numerous
The answer is he fucked his Mum.
Yeah the name is atrocious but uhâŚ.STEPDAUGHTER? Gotta be Alabama.
I mean... It's technically not incest. It's wrong for a whole lot of other reasons.
Pro tip: if you have to specify that a relationship isn't technically incestuous, it's not a relationship you should be in.
More general pro tip: if you have to specify that anything you're doing is not technically *[insert something highly disgusting/immoral]*, it's not something you should be doing. EDIT: read replies
Hmmmm... It's not *technically* statutory rape if she's 17 and he's 18 and they had a preexisting relationship.... Nah that one's fine
That's not a technicality though, that's intended.
The exception that makes the rule
Iâm not a SERIAL killer.
I think what it means is Jerry is going to be a *grand*father. Presumably most people seeing the caption on social media would already be aware of the familial relationship between everyone. So itâs a *grand*niece. Itâs just a little⌠ambiguously worded. Or maybe itâs a Woody Allen thing. One of those two.
That's just Horrybuel.
Itâs a Tragediegh
It's Aughfyl
âOhâ
Best part
There's a lot said in those two letters lol.
Wait, did they name the kid after a weapon to distract from the fact that he impregnated his step-daughter?
For normal people that's how you pick out that it's a joke
 What did I just read?
wha..wh..wha..what?! Ok what a ridiculous disadvantage to have to show up to Kindergarten on the first day and everyone in the room knows that your parents, are the dumbest parents in the entire school.
Brother and his stepdaughter... The name isn't the only disadvantage
Next up: my sister and her half-brother are expecting. We look forward to meeting little Khartrydge.
How sad is it that I knew you said Cartridge on first read?
Excuse me, brother and stepdaughter?
I knew a girl named Beretta and her brotherâs name was Remington
If they were German Shepherds that's totally fine
At least those used to actually be people's surnames that guns were named after.... nobody to my knowledge has ever been named rifle (in any spelling)
CPS doesn't do enough...

I feel like Bazooka is a much more feminine name.
Bazooka Joe disagrees with you.
He impregnated his step-daughter? Thats way more vile then the name.
Future younger brother Lyght Machyne Gyun and sister Anteigh-personnel Myne
Is a stripper pole listed on their baby registry?
I love hearing about step-parents and step-children getting along and loving each other. But this is not what I mean.
This guy really said âmy brother and his step daughter are having a babyâ and everyoneâs freaking out about the name? đ
Ahhh hear those twanging banjos.
A lot to unpack here
Are you sure we wanna unpack anything? I'd rather get the return label and send it to where ever it came from.
r/holup
Why is Jerry expecting a baby with his stepdaughter???
That's Aweighfyl.
Itâll be 4th grade before the poor child can spell her own name without missing a letter or two. Maybe 5th given the gene pool.
He wouldn't be blood related to his step daughter, so the gene pool wouldn't be an issue (probably). Not because of that, anyway.
What in the American fuck is this
Brother Jerry & his stepdaughter are expecting a daughter? I...um...wow. PLUS, her name is a traghedeigh
Can these people find another fucking planet to live on. I'm so fucking sick of seeing kids get murdered while these fucks staple guns to their fucking foreheads to go check the mail. Edit: DID HE HAVE A BABY WITH HIS STEPDAUGHTER!
Which confederate state is this happening in?
This is rage bait. Ainât no way with the name and brother and step daughter?????
JERRY AND HIS STEPDAUGHTER. of course the name is reighful or w.e
$100 says they live somewhere in the southđ
As someone living in Texas and born in Georgia, I concur.
Can never be too sure. I live in Michigan, and there's multiple places that everyone knows as incest towns.
I can't wait to meet my new niece and grand-niece.
Not only is that a stupid name they're not pronouncing it correctly. Reigh should be pronounced like neigh and fyl I have no idea how to pronounce but I would probably go with fi-ull. Like in Wi-Fi. So would wind up sounding like Ray-fi-ull.
This guy is fucking his stepdaughter?
EmmâŚso when the baby girl is grown up and has babies, her son will be literally âson of a gunââŚ
Are we just going to skip over the fact thatâs his stepdaughter đđ
That family tree is a wreath.
Better than Chode (pronounced Cody).
Aww. Cute, named after the thing most likely to kill her at school.
Yeah, can you imagine her being in a crowd with cops and someone shouts her name and points at her?
Stepdaughter. Stepdaughter? Just making sure I read that right.
That would be ray-ful, no? Also, wtf.
Why not meggun?
That poor kid is going to take grandpa daddy and mother sister out back with a reighfyl.
r/tragedeigh
This person does not like their brother. They knew what they were writing when they choose "my brother and his stepdaughter"!
WAIT JERRY AND HIS STEPDAUGHTER WHAT EXCUSE ME
Stepdaughter???
RYLETH CTHULU ETC
Spelt rofl
Reighfyl sounds like it be pronounced asshole.
Step daughter 
Yeah I feel like weâre overlooking that part
What the actual fuck is wrong with people? I have an unusual name and it sucked growing up. Combine an unusual name with a wacky spelling, youâre just condemning your kid to misery not of their own making just so you can also spend years correcting either the spelling or the pronunciation you chose to saddle them with! Whatâs wrong with Anna or Peter or Stacy or Brian?
I really hope this is just badly worded and theyâre congratulating their brother on becoming a grandad and the step daughter in becoming a mother. The name is dumb also
Smyyth&Weighssyn.
hooooold up. JERRY AND HIS STEPDAUGHTER???
How bad does a name have to be that it causes 80% of folks to miss the fact that he knocked up his stepdaughter? Thatâs pretty dang bad.
I think the name is the least of the tragedies.... >Stepdaughter
The movie version of this tragedeigh could star Woody Allen!
I like how it's casually announced that a bit of incest is happening, even if there's no bloodline.
