Things That Annoy You

Don't forget about the true First black president - and his Allstate commercials -  Dennis Haysbert

You know what else has killed tv?  Those friggin awful prescription pill ads with their nice images of couples walking down beaches and cheerful middle-aged women playing with their kids while simultaneously verbose lists of horrible stomach-churning side-effects are enumerated at length while I'm just trying to enjoy my ham sandwich.

[jazmunda]

oh and while you are at it,  that cunty Flow chick from Progressive pisses me off.
Get off my TV.

Don't you mean Kitty from Progressive?

She must be Flo's Aussie cousin.

Last time I was stateside I noticed how many more ads you had crammed into a tv show. The worst ad break was always the last one where they would go to ad and come back just to play the credits and then put the credits in a tiny box in the corner of the screen whilst the network would advertise other show on the network and the poor people who worked hard on the show get no fucking credit. What's the point of even having credits anymore? The torrents cut them out and no sap is watching them on DVD.

I hate that show.

[PB the Deplorable]

Broadcast tv has become unwatchable, filled with previews, recaps, promos, logos, popups...

What THE FUCK is that shit doing on the screen while the show is on.

I hate all the interruptions on football games, cutting away to some studio somewhere to tell us some 'who cares' fact about the game, team, or players.  They do this between plays while the game is in progress.

Put that shit in the pregame show.

It's edited for your enjoyment.

Yeah remember when you could watch a show, and yeah you'd have to sit through a cute little Pillsbury Dough-boy ad or whatever but mostly the ads were fairly innocuous.  Now it's like there's this constant screaming at you from all these disparate interests not just at commerical breaks but friggin during the show itself and after awhile you're just like screw this now I can't even enjoy my ham sandwich.

Oh god it's awful, all this backstory and ridiculous stats and friggin cross-promos to some other stupid show.  Look I just wanna have a beer and some nachos and watch the damn game does that make me un-American?  I mean do I also have to buy friggin car insurance and watch friggin Modern Family too?

Ham is for the poor folk...(real talk)

It is funny sometimes when, say, Al Michaels is telling us to be sure to watch some horse-shit show with a straight face.  Sure Al, after you.

I detest those moronic robotic football players that pop up and bounce around on Sunday games.  Is that fox or CBS or some other network that does that?  How do those things manage to look so thuggish, arrogant and stupid all at once?

I totally agree. These constant drug ads are pathetic. They're not just on TV either. Pick up any magazine, and they take up about 1/3 of it.

TV is mostly crap peddled to simple-minded idiots. I had cable hooked back up to watch the final episodes of Breaking Bad and to watch Doctor Who and Broadchurch on BBCA.  It's probably time for me to cut the cable again.

Another thing that drives me crazy is seeing a channel playing the same show all day long. I was scanning the schedule the other day to see that TLC was playing "Gypsy Sisters" for at least 12 hours straight!  Seriously?  How is there even 12 hours of material? It's nothing but 30- and 40-year-old women planning their next fistfights while their husbands they married when they were 16 are out running scams.  This is what dominates TV these days.   The only shows I really watch are cooking and DIY shows and a few health-related shows. Everything else is available on Hulu Plus, Netfi, Roku, Youtube, etc.

Advertising is exactly why I won't watch TV or listen to commercial radio.  It's absolutely insufferable.

Large companies who hire celebs and give them bullshit jobs, i.e., "creative director."  What the fuck?

Henrey Winkler and other 1970's-1980's has been "stars" schlepping the reverse mortgage scam loans to  retired folks. The lowest of lows.
Nice work Fonzie! I hope you sleep well knowing you just helped to rip off grandma's home for a few thousand dollars. And, fleeced her kids and grand kids with penalties and fees when they try to pay off  the loan or keep the house when she dies or moves to a care facility.
aaaaaeeee{thumbs up}
Scum bags!

How many times do I have to watch a freaking Nissan jump on a train?  While this dumbass commercial has a disclaimer stating cars can't jump on trains. :

David O. Russell. You are an overrated director. I would even say bad. You are bad, David O. Russell. You should feel bad.

Fonzie has now jumped the shark twice.

I liked American Hustle. Didn't mind Silver Linings Playbook either.

Yeah I mean wtf just tell me if the thing can jump a friggin train or not, maybe it's just something I need to know before I buy ok!

[McPhallus]

Paranormal shows that continue speculating about the nvidia crop circle thing as if there were "something more to it."  It was a publicity stunt to promote a new product.  Get over it.

[ItsOver]

I think it's one of the questions Consumer Reports recommends for car shopping.  "Can this vehicle jump on trains?"  I gots to know.

Ever get the squeaks during a monkey spank session?  WTF?
