Oprah and Gayle were so not Thelma and Louise on their road trip. Oprah kicked off her new season by taking us on a little ride with her BFF. We sometimes learn something new from episodes of Oprah but this time it was the host herself who was rediscovering how to pump gas. Thanks to Gawker for uploading the clip on YouTube. Enjoy!

annoying.
Check out my latest poll: Would you rather...('NERD' VERSION!!!)
1i agree with with merry!
2Oprah... I have so much to say but I know people like her.. my cousins is her top PR lady... don't believe the hype people that is all I can say!!!!
3I think it's cute. I'm not the best gas pumper, I've always had someone do it for me. So even to this day I feel like an idiot because I either always forget to press the button or push a button and I'm just standing there waiting on something. So after a while of me looking like an idiot the teller always says "Please pick your type of fuel" Dur.
4HAHA. I was so nervous when I pumped gas into my first car for the first time, I thought it was going to be so hard. But isn't it like riding a bicycle or swimming? Once you do it, you can't forget how to? I guess the process of pumping gas might be different now than in the 80s and up (I wouldn't know).
5You know, I still respect and can appreciate all the things Oprah does for the community, but she is so jaded now! I can't stand watching her show for more than 10-15 minutes... her audience is worse than the kids at TRL!
*I don't want to offend, but I am under the impression that we can voice negative opinions about celebrities*
6I agree nomerz... but I am just going to read the thread... I know I would really make people mad if I commented.
7LOL...it's so funny we all know that we can start a heat thread if we bash Oprah...I myself will just keep my opinons to myself on this one.
8oh, suri, i just pmed you.

Got it Merry...
10i used have problems with different gas stations when i first started driving, i used to avoid pumping gas and let my dad do it for me instead..29 gallons is a lot i can only fit 18 in my gas tank, which is good i guess when u fill it up and look at the reciept
11I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when Oprah said she didn't know how to pump gas!!! I don't care what anyone says, she hasnt pumped gas for F***ING 23 years?? Thats how long I have been alive, and even I have known how to pump gas for most of that time! Good grief! I don't think its cute, I think its obnoxious that just because she has soo much money, she doesn't know how to pump gas. Just plain stupid if you ask me. [There, now whoever wants to can bash Oprah!]
I'm from Chicago, and I love Oprah, but some of the things she says/does, are just ignorant!
12I have to say that I love Oprah, but it is pretty sad that she can't even pump gas. The first day I had my drivers permit, that's what I learned to do.
13When you are super rich like her you have to have a driver and bodyguards.. I think they do all the gas pumping and regular things of life for her.. I can't see her rushing out all alone for a six pack of cokes and bread, and milk for breakfast.
14if i could i would buy ALL my gas in New Jersey, since people pump your gas FOR YOU there... but since i live in IL, that makes it difficult- thats an ass long way to drive to get someone else to pump your gas. If I was rich, that would be the second thing i would hire someone else to do- the first, pay someone to try on jeans for me.
15how does she get her hair in and out of braids so fast? does she wear wigs?
16shes amazing! this is one person who deserves all the fame and money! The woman is a saint
17lol - i cant anything - u said it all...
18I think Angelina is a better humanitarian than Oprah is. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if Oprah is a lesbian. While I do respect Oprah for trying to help people out on her show, I don't watch the show very often at all and I do think this woman is too hyped-up.
I know she's definitely not a saint. There's no way. Lol!
19ur absolutely right! After Oprah dropped Stedman I lost my respect - mean the guy stuck by her through thick and thin. lol
20When did she dump Stedman? I'm way out of the loop.
21Can`t remember. Read it in a People magazine a few months ago.
22I love Oprah.
23Tell me about the real Oprah OhSuri.
24I've never pumped gas, LOL I don't drive
25I grew up in Jersey, too, where it's agains the law to pump your own gas (and where gas is WAY cheaper than any bordering states). Then I moved to Philadelphia in my early 20's but I still worked in Jersey, so I never pumped my own gas until I started working in Philly, at age 30! People thought I was crazy, but I never needed to learn until then.

I lived in NJ as well and I understand about the gas pumping thing.. but Oprah is so pompas with her.. huh what do I do crap? Like it is something common folks do. Give me a break!
27Yeah, I do agree with you. She's like "Look at me, I'm doing like the peons, do! I'm just like you guys."

Oprah annoys me. But I have respect for her. I don't care if she's a lesbian. My mom's been saying that about Tom Cruise and her for years! I don't understand how a grown adult can't pump gas. I mean, okay she may have never done it, but it's pretty self explanatory if you follow the directions.
29IF you never swim then you never learn so I can see how a grown woman can't pump gas. THe last time she pumped gas was prob way back when, when pumps were manual and you had to flip the lever to get it going. I even forget to push the button sometimes.
I love Oprah and I hate oprah at the same time. While she is an excellent humanitarian she can be a little out of touch sometimes but she the richest woman and black woman in the world so she can pretty much do whatever she wants and can careless what I think about it
30I don't like Oprah. She can't even pump gas
31She is too fake.
I don't think she dumped Stedman, because I watched the roadtrip episode, and while her and Gayle were driving, she said something abnout looking at men driving on the highway and Gayle said something about Oprah having Stedman at home, and how Gayle is always looking for men because she's single. I don't know when that episode was shot, anyway.
And I disagree with the comment that Angelina is a better humanitarian than Oprah. Oprah does a lot, like actually building schools and partakes in the process of other efforts. Angelina just travels to countries, takes pictures with people, plays with the kids (adopts some here and there), talks about how horrible things are on camera, and then comes back home and then rests for a length of time until the UN sends her somewhere else. I don't think think she's really part of the action. I do respect for her humanitarian efforts, don't get me wrong, but better than Oprah in that area...no.

Oprah and GayKing are mingling with us common folks on their road trips. What are they trying to prove?
Squirrely
33..Seeins-stars, I don`t think Oprah and Angelina care be compared, nuh? Oprah`s Background is different and motivates her differently and Angelina has another approach. So, I confess I made a mistake agreeing to compare them. (",)
34hilarious! i think she can be forgiven. she's a nice person anyway. i imagine the man helping her with the pumping must have been very amused.
