Would love to punch that movie ...
1) Nothing But Trouble - hands down the worst movie ever made. Everyone involved with it should be ashamed of themselves (yes, even the Digital Underground) and the cinematic world was dimmed slightly at the moment of its inception.
2) Bean - the only movie that ever gave me a headache at how awful it was.
3) Land of the Lost - the only movie in recorded history I've ever walked out of, demanded my money back, and got it.
My Satanic TV Show List:
Nothing - if I don't like a show enough to want to punch it in the face, I don't watch it. Period. I don't watch any reality TV, never saw an episode of Family Matters or Full House, and ditched cable about a year and half back. And I feel all the richer for it. :)
My Satanic Commercial List:
1) Smarmy Cadillac guy telling us all to work harder, not smarter. N'est ce pas?
2) Anything that's designed to look improved but is so painfully obviously scripted. (ie. the Verizon commercials where the "people on the street" can't figure out the blotches make a map of the US)
3) Anything Guy Fieri endorses.
I actually like the Sprint Framily ads - cute little girl with Disney birds singing Motley Crue in French? Yes, I'm down for more of that!
faces,throatstesticles of the people that allow stuff to get on the air/in theaters/in print or let alone allowed to get made in the first place.I've only watching about two hours of tv a week since football ended, so there isn't anything current I can think of at the moment.
Some of the cartoons my kids used to watch and shows advertised for Cartoon Network over right know and over the years though...I got a steel toe boot saved for those people
"Hold still, Mr. Tickle, don't chu get all cattywumpus now!"
"WHOA!!"
I also want the head of whoever started advertising upcoming shows using the pop-up at the bottom of the screen during the show I'm watching. Guess what, NBC I don't need to know whatever crappy sitcom is following Community. You are going to give me 3 commercials for it while we are in the break.
Most hated commercial of 2013: The White House Down ads that filled the entire NBA playoffs last year. I never thought I could dislike Jamie Fox, but I now do.
I'm looking at you, E! I can barely sit through The Soup for the commercials for the rest of the programming on that network (which is why I tend to see The Soup about once a month).
The Hotels.com Captain Obvious commercials are a new hate of mine. This may be simply because I work in the hotel industry and all hotel commercial irritate me to some extent.
Some of the Skittles commercials are so disgusting they turn my stomach. Like the one where the Abraham Lincoln-looking guy on a treadmill is sweating Skittles and the other guy is eating them as they come off of him. Or the one where that teenage kid has teeth made of Skittles until the girl kisses him and he is then toothless and she is chewing. At that point, sorry, I no longer see those as "Skittles," but as sweat and teeth, being consumed by another person. Ugh. Some ad exec needs a beating for these.
I will admit, when the first JG Wentworth ad came out with them singing the jingle on the opera stage, I thought, "Well, that was well produced." Now that they continue to use the same jingle regardless of the premise of the commercial, I wanna punch JG Wentworth in the throat.
Ooh, the "Farmers Only" dating service. It is dumb and low-budget (check it out on YouTube if you haven't seen it), but the worst part is that they use the images of the people from Grant Wood's American Gothic in it as a "couple," which is really, really creepy if you happen to know that American Gothic is a painting that is a representation of a farmer AND HIS DAUGHTER. Ew, ew, ew.
Any of the Jane Seymour "Open Heart" jewelry commercials. How can people not look at that and see it is just the letter "Z"?!? Why is this considered beautiful?!? If the lady in your life is NOT named Zina, or Zoey, or Zana, why would they want it?!? Anytime Jane Seymour starts talking about "designing" these things, I wanna throw things at the TV.

I Hate Adventure Time. I hate the art style, I hate the frolicking through flowers music, and I HATE HATE HATE the voices. If I hear it from another room, I will tell my kids to turn down the sound so that I can't, for my own sanity.
I can appreciate the hard work that goes into any animated production, and I can appreciate the affinity kids and adults have for the world he Pen Ward has created, but God Almighty, I can't stand it.
I hate it for existing, and being a popular cartoon (A CARTOON, FOR GOD'S SAKE!!) that I don't apparently "get". That makes me old. Sigh...
Nor am I particularly interested in doing so.
But it's apparently fueling the needs of a generation of proto-nerds, so all power to it as far as I'm concerned.
In fact, I need more than a simple agree...
Don't worry. I've been a resident of there for some time now. You'll all be fine.
I don't get Adventure Time either. :)
/Because $5 is $5, man. :)
As you were ...
