‘The View’ mocked as ‘pissed-off millionaires b—-ing’ about ‘Trump and men’ on Paramount western show
The latest episode of the Paramount+ drama “Landman” mocked ABC’s “The View” as a show about “a bunch of pissed-off millionaires” on Sunday.
“The Pirate Dinner,” the fifth episode of the show’s second season, featured a conversation between Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, and his father T.L., played by Sam Elliott. As they talk, Tommy suggests to his father that he watch “The View” to pass the time. T.L. then asks Tommy what “The View” is.
“A bunch of pissed-off millionaires b—-ing about how much they hate millionaires and Trump and men and you and me and everybody else they got a bee up their a– about. It’s pretty funny,” Tommy said.

“Don’t sound funny,” T.L. responded.
“Well, it ain’t joke funny, it’s like ‘fart in church’ funny, you know what I mean?” Tommy said.
When T.L. adds that doesn’t sound funny either, Tommy adds, “Well, it depends on your proximity to the fart.”

Fox News Digital reached out to ABC and “The View” for comment.
“Landman,” a rural America drama created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, follows the life of the billionaire Norris family as they interact with power players in the oil rig industry in West Texas.
In 2024, a clip of the series went viral on X, featuring Thornton’s character attacking the use of renewable energy measures like wind.

“You have any idea how much diesel will have to burn to mix that much concrete or make that steel and haul this s— out here and put it together with a 450-foot crane? You want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that f—ing thing? Or winterize it? In its 20-year lifespan, it won’t offset the carbon footprint of making it. And don’t get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery,” he said.
Thornton previously promoted the show on “The View” ahead of its premiere in 2024.
