The fear of bridges, the fear of the number 13, maybe even the fear of public toilets. Up until today I thought these were as strange as phobias got. Little did I know that Maury Povich for opening my eyes to the real freaks of the world.

In the following clips Maury brings in two guests and forces them to confront their fear head on. Their fears: pickles, balloons and peaches. If the pickle girls visit to the Paterson Pickle Factory doesn’t make you laugh then the balloon lady shitting herself on national TV will.

Maury: Why are you afraid of balloons?
Lady: The way they float. They are going to kill me. I didn’t leave my home for 10 months because I was scared.

Maury, you are one sick f*ck! Check out the videos after the jump…
