An old video of Oprah Winfrey giving Christmas gift advice is raising eyebrows all over TikTok.

Winfrey is of course famous for her yearly "Oprah's Favorite Things" list released each holiday season, a tradition that began on her long-running talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show and now appears on her website "Oprah Daily."

The list grew famous for Oprah's frequent inclusion of big-ticket items, which one year included a Pontiac G6 gifted to every member of her audience, spawning the "You get a car and you get a car!" catchphrase that remains a popular meme to this day.

So perhaps it's unsurprising that Winfrey's idea of an affordable gift is... well, not affordable at all for a lot of people, including a person who filmed Winfrey recommending a gift for his mother several years ago.

Winfrey's surprised reaction to the man filming telling her that a jewelry box costing "a hundred and some dollars" was too expensive has people accusing her of being out-of-touch.

See the video below.

Oprah knows hiw to give a sentimental gift #oprah #tv #gift #christmas #suprise

In the video clip, the man filming told Oprah his mother was "not doing well" and that he wanted to give her something special.

Winfrey told the man:

"A wonderful thing is that jewelry box I had on 'favorite things.'"

When the man countered it was too expensive for him, Winfrey replied:

"It's not. It's really not. It's like a hundred and some dollars."

When the man again told Winfrey the jewelry box was over his budget, she looked incredulous and responded:

"Lower than $100?!"

Yes, Oprah, some of us need gifts "lower than $100." We're not all billionaire media moguls!

On TikTok, Winfrey's reaction didn't go over very well with many commenters.

To her credit, Winfrey did come up with a very sweet alternate idea for the man that cost nothing at all--a "list of the top 10 reasons you love her" along with a handmade card. What mom wouldn't love that?

She may be a billionaire, but at least Winfrey still has a heart.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.

Sean Duffy Ripped After Encouraging Americans To Take 'Road Trips' As Gas Prices Continue To Soar

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was called out after he encouraged Americans to take "road trips" as gas prices continue to rise as a result of President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Republicans have faced pressure from constituents nationwide to address the rising cost of living, but Americans are feeling pain at the pump now that the Iran war, which the Trump administration kicked off in late February, has prompted a spike in gas prices.
