Intro
Dennis Prager is a conservative talk radio/internet pundit funded by billionaires to produce cringeworthy youtube videos and dumb down political discourse even more than usual. There is now a small cottage industry on youtube dedicated both to dissecting the myriad of problems and mistakes that litter Prager's video content as well as remixing him & his associates into YTPs as a form of mockery.
A couple of these people already have threads discussing them, namely Candace Owens (in lolcows), who has a show on the PragerU site , Jordan Peterson (also lolcows) and Ben Shapiro (multimedia). Another notable one is Dave Rubin
Beginnings & Marriages
Born August 2 1948, Dennis Mark Prager is the son of Hilda & Max Prager, both Orthodox Jews, in NYC. As such, much of his life exists outside the bubble of the internet. However, what is documented about him from this time period is necessary to cover, as it sheds a light on how he got to where he is now.
He graduated from Brooklyn College with a degree in History & Middle Eastern Studies, which he would use to give himself an aura of credibility later on down the line. He also attended Columbia University in New York and later the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom.
While at Leeds he joined up with a group of other Jewish Students and went to the Soviet Union. The treatment of Jews in the Soviet bloc inspired Dennis to at first help Jews leave and come to the USA instead. Soon afterwards he would branch out and started writing books with the help of a high school friend named Joseph Telushkin, a rabbi and author. The two they worked on over the years were, Nine Questions About Judaism and Why the Jews?, a book that conflates criticism of Israel/Zionism with hating Jewish people, Hitler. & his genocide. It also rails against secular Jews as having "lost their way".
But a big change hit our big lad in 2009.
Prager Knight: The Fake University Rises
The goal of the organization was made clear from the start: take 5 short minutes to over-simplify complex issues and educate neocons on what talking points should be used when confronted with disagreement.
PragerU encountered legal issues in 2013, when an Irish photographer sued for using one of his pictures without permission. This copyright problem lead PragerU videos from then on to all be animated, this gave us the format we know and love today.
Years after this event happened, PragerU would itself start a lawsuit against YouTube. The reason? Some vids got age restricted under the video sharing site's "controversial content" regulations, something that effects all major political content creators regardless of being left or right, but Prager knew the truth. This was discrimination against conservatives!
The channel uploaded this autofellatio featuring it's lolyer talking about the case.
www.youtube.com
The judge dismissed the case because it was just crying to big daddy government that the free market produced a company that decided controversial politics wasn't appropriate for children.

The channel regularly uploads Climate Change denial content such as this one by Richard Lindzen, a literal paid shill who's MIT colleagues corrected him on climate issues.
www.youtube.com
This particular science denial was one of the types of misinfo that youtube has recently started attaching wikipedia summaries in the vain hope someone will listen.
A spokesman said the following

Thus further cementing them as tards, as the vids are available still.
Then there's this

Another odd thing is how he believes Marxism & Environmentalism are "religions" as though that somehow helps argue logically against them.

"The alt-right and the left are the exact same because uhh... racist and they don't like God."
www.youtube.com
(bonus points for wrongfully crediting Richard Spencer for coining Alt-Right)
Not to mention felon Dinesh D'Souza is Prager approved
www.youtube.com
"Dems are da real racists"
www.youtube.com
which bizarrely points out affirmative action was implemented under Nixon, a republican, but is also the real racism.
Then we have this utterly bizarre one that admits God transcends human concepts like gender, but that he has to be called he to... give boys a good role model?
www.youtube.com
Unironically believes if you have secular values then you can't believe in objective morals.
One of many rants against moral relativism.
www.youtube.com
I recommend watching this critique
www.youtube.com
"I've never come across an example. Really? We tell lies?"
Also, PragerU hates net neutrality.
www.youtube.com
If you weren't satisfied with the smorgasbord of content available on youtube, there are always Prager's other pages, like on twitter and fb.
Or... you could look into his hot takes about rape.
Dennis Prager and Women, Sex, and Rape
Dennis Prager has said that false rape accusations are exactly as bad as rape itself, or even worse.
archive.fo
He doesn't view it as "not rational" for women to deny a husband sex because she's not in the mood for it.
His arguments are very convincing
Speaking of women
This is the article he makes these claim claims in
townhall.com
archive.fo
But as the ratwiki said, that's not really true statistically speaking.
archive.fo
He also got mad that the NCAA did the only thing it could potentially do to punish Penn State for the crime of covering up child rapist pedophile Jerry Sandusky, claiming doing so made them "just as morally wrong" before going on a tirade about including minorities and wahmen in history that literally came out of nowhere.
www.nationalreview.com
archive.fo
But back to Sandusky, and how putting an asterisk next to him and Paterno's records actually puts an asterisk next to the guy who was in second prior to the wins being sullied
Speaking of him going off-topic and fucking weird.
Dennis and Other Shit
One of my favorite thins in this world is his tirade against an ad for doritos that he got published on Townhall.
This is the ad in question:
www.youtube.com
His analysis gets even more as it progresses
archive.fo
There was also this rant on air freaking out about based Ron Paul for being a "radical lefty"
www.youtube.com
ITS A LIE ITS A LIE AND ITS A SICKENING LIE
Or the bizarre claim that cable news uses certain angles when broadcasting the state of the union is to avoid showing "In God We Trust" chiseled about the President
Now, before y'all get uppity and call him a conspiracy theorist, he's not, just to be clear!
And now, for the next important chapter in the saga of Mr. Prager.
No Safe Spaces with Adam Corolla
www.youtube.com
No Safe Spaces is a documentary film that began filming in the year 2017. It is directed by Justin Folk. It's headliners are Dennis Prager and Adam Corolla. This proves that the "safe space" meme has officially jumped the shark and died. The movie was originally set to come out fall 2018, but Dennis & co are fuckin cucks pushed it back so it's gonna drop instead this October 25th, 2019. And it looks pretty epic, imo.
It has an all star cast. Joining w/ Prager and Corolla are: Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin, Tim Allen, Cornel West, Van Jones (from CNN), and a handful of others.
You may think that a film this epic is Prager's magnum opus, you would be wrong . His REAL magnum opus is this tweet & letter complaining about receiving a pg-13 rating and using this to make himself look victimized by the MPAA.
This tweet, of course, leads to an article:
This passive-aggression "people won't trust you if you don't rate my movie the way I want " reminds me of CWC and the "scale of respect" comments.

In Conclusion
www.youtube.com
PragerU uploads content weekly, and due to the source every so often it's guaranteed to be hardline cringe, if not simple misinformation. Dennis himself writes columns rather often as well as continuing to host his radio/podcast programs. So a steady flow of content for a thread like this will exist until the end of Prager's life at minimum. He may present boring and milquetoast most of the time in his content, but when you scrounge around you can find some real gems. His content is flashy but vapid, the man himself has more than a few odd hang-ups about women and sexuality, and neocons are the kind of people that are really capable of producing the cringe that unites the right, the left, and the center in laughing (or groaning) at them in particular.

It also rails against secular Jews as having "lost their way".
In 82, Dennis would begin his career at LA radio station KABC (AM) with a sunday night show on religion.
In 85 he started Prager Perspectives, a newsletter, under the original name of Ultimate Issues
In 86 his first marriage fell apart and he went to counseling over it. He would marry the 2nd time in 1992.
In 94 when the ADL published a report on Anti-Semitism in the Christian Right-Wing at the time, Dennis outright denied it and ever since then he has been on a crusade to prove that only the Left is ever anti-Jewish.
He had three wives, their names are: Susan Reed (current), Francine Stone (2nd), and Janice Goldstein (1st).
Continuing through the 90s, he was a supporter of DOMA (the defense of marriage act) & failed presidential candidate Bob Dole. His stance on The Big Gay(tm) is another thing that has stayed consistent, as seen in this debate with Perez Hilton, where Perez somehow comes out looking less stupid.
www.youtube.com
In 99, he became syndicated on the radio station KRLA, a conservative talk radio station that also carries Mark Levin, known Ted Cruz shill.
The 00s were very much the same thing as the 90s were, meaning Prager actually got to be somewhat relevant as a political figure. He opposed Keith Ellison for swearing into Congress on a Quran, didn't like Obeme very much, standard fair.

Prager Knight: The Fake University Rises
In the glorious year of our lord, 2009, Prager founded what would become his greatest creation: the non-profit org known as Prager University. It was almost immediately shilled by Glenn Beck's The Blaze.
The goal of the organization was made clear from the start: take 5 short minutes to over-simplify complex issues and educate neocons on what talking points should be used when confronted with disagreement.
PragerU encountered legal issues in 2013, when an Irish photographer sued for using one of his pictures without permission. This copyright problem lead PragerU videos from then on to all be animated, this gave us the format we know and love today.
