For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
Harry Potter, even ignoring how much of a piece of shit the author is the books just aren’t particularly well thought out.
I’m just here to see if anyone has any wrong opinions about something I love.
Dr. Seuss. I really don’t know why, but that stuff is creepy and disturbing in a way that almost nothing else is. All of it. The art, the writing, the themes. I literally just can’t even.
Paying a subscription to watch sports.
Overwatch the video game. TF2 felt better in every way - no I didn’t play the original team fortress. I never felt good playing the overwatch, never cared about all the backstory considering it had no standing on the game whatsoever - I’m sure they’ll add a campaign some day though. The mechanics felt so floaty and slidy, and I never felt like my hits registered at all. The community sucked even more because everyone was “one game off going pro” because they got a cool kill 10 rounds ago. Rocket league was less toxic and that’s saying something. Oh and sooo repetitive. I hear the irony of comparing it to rocket league then saying that, don’t worry.
I’ll take the low blow and say Blizzard can get fucked as a company too, I’d be happy if they went bankrupt tomorrow. They’re like the worst of the worst in the video game industry.
Last Christmas. Whenever it pops up in the radio, I switch to the next station.
Big Bang Theory
American football. Fox turned it into a video game you can’t play.
Mens soccer. Stop with the fucking cry baby drama! Women’s soccer is better in this regards.
The US version of The Office, LOL.
Watched 8 episodes and would rather watch paint dry for the rest of my life than watching the rest of the series.
You’re right and you should say it. Ricky Gervais has always been weird and off-putting and the idea that he was ever good has always baffled me. I never enjoyed The Office. When my dad tried to get me into Extras I just found all of Ricky’s parts annoying. When my sister told me how great Derek was, I just found the whole thing simultaneously tasteless and bland, like it couldn’t commit to being offensive but didn’t put the work into being real. His standup is often clever, but always the kind of clever that is let down by a complete lack of emotional intelligence. The man just does not understand people, but thinks he really does.
Sports. I have little tolerance for it because every time a big event is on, people get incredibly obnoxious. They think they know better than the professional players, they keep making so much noise, it polarizes people into arbitrary bands and start talking shit like using that as an excuse to be a homophobic POS, sometimes they’ll even riot because their team lost/won (da fuk), and even kill people over their favorite fucking team, and so much more. If the game is on I’d rather steer clear because it really brings out the worst in people.
Your mom’s OnlyFans page.
Mad Men. Everyone on that show is a fucking scumbag and not in a funny or interesting way.
Also Thor Ragnarok. I hate it for the reasons people say they hate the next one but it was the same people that said they liked Ragnarok so Idk what the fuck is going on there. I’m not watching the second one to find out.
Breaking Bad for me. I just can’t stand it and find the characters and the situations just unpleasant and undesireable to watch.
