Annoying fads

I don't care the ecofriendly stuff from celebrities. If you're flying a jet around to go to Paris to shop, you aren't being ecofriendly, you're being a hypocrite. I don't recycle but I would if it was readily available where I live. I think we have somewhere that you can take stuff but it's in the middle of nowhere even more than my house is.

And in college, I have no chance to recycle at all. My college is on this whole green thing right now where you use computers for just about everything, except somehow it always ends up with me getting an email asking me to print something. I hate that, I have to pay and not be green? XD
 
A lot of reality TV shows get on my nerves. I'm actually glad that the underwhelming farce that was Big Brother has actually ended here in the UK, so unless they have plans to move it to another channel or make this a hiatus, I won't have to see the show and Davina McCall rear their ugly heads again. It may have sounded like an entertaining idea back in the day to throw in a bunch of nobodies into a closed environment and broadcast this circus on TV, but the show's become so appalling lately that I'm not surprised they canned it.

Even the talent shows have lost the charm they had in the past. Reading about the blatant usage of auto-tune (another fad that I've never liked to help out the talentless artists) on The X-Factor just adds another nail to the coffin of Simon Cowell's empire. Shows like that and BGT rarely discover many good-quality talent anyway. It's mostly irritating, talentless and obnoxious people that stride onto the stage, "sing" and walk off with 3 or 4 yesses. While there are some good moments in there, I just fail to understand much of the fuss with these kind of programmes nowadays.
 
aw reality shows how could I forget about those, everywhere you look there's some twat on tv trying desperately to get their 15 minutes of fame, and it's just got old and stale now

I do like Come Dine with Me though, that shit's ace.
 
Definitely reality shows. :ffs:

I've never liked them. My friend watches them religiously and it would always irritate me when I was visiting her or even when she visited me. She's always want to watch American Idol, America's Next Top Model or any other reality show that was playing at the time. >.>

Skinny jeans. I just don't like the look of them and when guys try to sag them, it just magnifies my overall distaste with them.

And I agree with most that the whole vampire thing has spiraled out of control.
 
I don't mind the X-Factor (because it's just Pop Idol, and that basically started reality TV, along with Big Brother) but that's it. It is entertaining, although getting caught up in the hype gets my goat. There was something with Denise Van Outen taking schools and turning them in to West End stars and that was really good, too. But on the whole, these competitions do my nut in.

Addressing the Lady Gaga fad, she doesn't hide the fact that she takes her inspiration from people like Madonna and David Bowie. Using Alejandro as an example - it's totally Vogue, but who cares? It's still a good song, a good video, she's a fantastic performer and all-in-all a good artist. What does it matter if her inspiration is more obvious than some other massive artists?

Have to agree with the Vampire thing. Never interested me before, angers me now. Well done, Meyer.

Will Ferrel and Adam Sandler - I hope those two die pretty soon and stop making terrible films. That said, they'll then have glamourised celebrity deaths...so I want them to stop, too.

Big Brother's fucked off forever so no need to rant about that.

Gossip magazines. Most mind-numbing things I know. I don't care if Jordan says she has worries about her marriage. I don't care if Posh is sporting another rib. I don't care what price Rooney paid for a whore.

The only beneficial thing a gossip magazine was ever useful for was telling me who Pixie Lott's boyfriend was, so I can plot his death. :ryan:
 
How about the Bratz dolls? God I hate those things. They look extremely creepy and I think some of their outfits aren't exactly appropriate for 5 year olds. (Seriously, lingerie for a doll!) And since when do we want to promote being a brat to little kids?

Yoga: not that yoga itself is annoying, but all the college students that are into it and will not shut up about it. And I feel like some are only doing because it's cool. Actually, pretty much any exercise program fads drive me insane. Paladies or how every it's spelled, tai chi, and all those fun things.

Wii among college girls/adults: Ok I love Nintendo and there are many Wii games I love. But I hate how people talk about the Wii like it's the greatest thing ever. People talk about how it is going to have kids exercising more. No, kids want to play Mario, not sports. And now random girls think they are video game experts because they play games like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Wii Sports resort. And maybe a Mario game.

That thing girls did where they make a sideways peace sigh and stuck both their lips out. It looked highly unnattractive and stupid.

That is so true. Just because a system makes games that make you move around doesn't mean anyone is going to play them. Not to mention quite a few people just seat down and cheat to do less work.

I agree!
 
Oh god, I hate dating reality shows. And I think it is because the contestants are so stupid. Seriously, the person looking for love is allowed to make out with each contestant, but if the contestant make out with someone else it's "YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR ME!" yeah, well you weren't there for them either. And everything is so one sided. The host has all the potential lovers do ridiculous stuff to win their love yet never doesn anything for them in return.

Its no wonder that the relationship with the winner lasts less than a year.

Oh the duckface!


That video says it all. XD

Part of the Lyrics: You're a beautiful girl... why the fuck are you making a duck face?

I don't know how this got started, but all you dumb bitches look fuckin' retarded!

Seriously, the lyrics are so true!

I really don't know how the whole, pushing your lips out and doing the peace sign at the same time got classed as the in thing to do. >.<

It looks ridiculous.

Those girls could really look pretty if they just smiled like a normal person. >.<
 
OMG, the duck face thing, Ayumi Hamaskai does that facial expression a bunch in photo shops. It's so funny that you mention that.

And it's a horrible face.

I feel like I comment more on the horrible fads than add to them..XD
 
Sequels. seems like everything old and new are getting shitty new sequels.
 
Young men wearing their jeans BELOW their arse. It looks absolutely ridiculous and is in some cases even a bit gross. People should be able to venture out into public space without seeing someone else's underwear (and that goes for girls with whale tails too). Show some dignity and consideration and pull up those pants for Crom's sake.
 
Someone said sequels...did anyone say Remakes?

Every other day some new version of an old show is coming on that isn't nearly as good as the original. It's time for some new ideas TV!

This.

Every time I see this I have to fight the urge to run up behind them and give them a wedgie.
It doesn't matter how hot they are, it looks stupid. I don't want to see a guy's underwear at the back, ta very much :mokken:
 
Justin Beiber hate.
Ok, I get it.
He's younger than you, and your girlfriend still likes him more, doesn't make him gay.
 
Hey hey now this is supposed to be about annoying fads, not bashing people who like them.
Besides, the worst fad is bashing :madpanda:

it's funny because if a guy said that about chicks he would be called sexist, patriarchal, etc


personally I'm sick of the "THE 36 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED"-esque comments on youtube, I mean they were a little funny the first time but it's kinda old now

Come Dine With Me is the finest thing on television ever, that narrator is my God, no one gets away with making a bad strudel on his watch

I guess a fad that I hate is people thinking the whole 'nerd or geek' thing is now cool and hip. People go around saying how geeky or nerdy they are because they liked Scott Pilgrim or remember the name of a pokemon, stuff like that.

I have funny story about that. I went to Vevo once and ended in the comment section of one of his videos and a girl had posted something along the lines of "He's so hot he's turning boys gay. Although I'm not sure that's good if they're his age." And I think she was perfectly serious. It was a comeback to some of the haters.

I laughed so hard I almost feel into the floor! XD
 
JERSEY SHORE!!! Oh my cosmic weirdos!!! JERSEY SHORE!!!

I don't know where to begin with that piece of royal trash! I can't even begin to imagine what this country has been reduced to!

Snooki... charges up to $50,000 just to walk the red carpet! Uhmm... how about paying her, along with the rest of the crew, $50,000 to walk the plank?

*hides in a cardboard box again... to meditate*
