Saturday Night Live on American telly. Is it that I don't get it or is it really that bad?

It seems really popular but I've watched loads of clips of it and I've never once cracked a smile. I've heard this cowbell sketch was meant to be the best one, but jeez... awful rubbish.

Any others

Night Clubs
Yoy are in the pub with a nice fuzzy buzz having had a great night.
Then someone suggests go to a night club.
Place is packed, guinness is €9 pint why?
Barman hates you, bouncer hates you, other clubbers hate you.
Lose your coat (coat person hates you), lose wallet, lose phone, lose friends.
Taxi home goes some stupid way to rip you off.
You get home and feel awful next day and are too riddeled to do anything and a perfectly good Saturday is wasted.
I never saw the attraction.

Having a shift in a pub is a little awkward.

I hate sports, I find it so boring, well sports like football, hurling, GAA, basketball, rugby. Never understood the excitement of a goal been scored.

The blue red grill thing. Looks cheap and tacky. Same with "M Performance" stickers on the side of BMWs.

Coffee. The aroma can be pleasant sometimes. But how many sugary additives & flavourings to make it quaffable?

Espresso. Dirt water straight from a sulfuric mud pot.

Bagels. Bland and dense. Like eating a tyre. But oh you can add this fine spread. No that’s ok I’ll stick with toast.

Celery. Sure why don’t we masticate for an hour on flavourless plant gristle to make it digestible.

It's a completely made up currency system that is separate to the banks and government that's technically untraceable and is used mainly for illegal activities (from what I've read) on the dark web, but some big name companies have started to accept it also.

I don't get:

- Fashion: the rich people who make labels are the ones who tell you what you should be wearing, which just happens to be what they're making...
- Any sport with low scores: soccer for example. Ronaldo scores the only goal in the game and people think he's god, when he literally barely did what he's being paid half a million a week to do. He actually sounds terrible for the money he's being paid. I'd be expecting a few goals per game. Highlights are all I would watch.
- Reality TV: Specifically the ones that concentrate on what the people rather than the event/situation. I might enjoy watching them if they were about something other than entitled spoilt pretty people with 4 braincells between them talking about who they shifted/rode.
- Crowded drinking places: pubs, clubs, beer gardens, I never liked them when they were crowded, I like them even less now.
- Hours long shopping: get in, get what you need, get out. No need to be spending hours looking at stuff or trying on things you have no intention of buying.
- TV/Movies based on reality: I have enough of the real world, I don't need it in my entertainment reminding me of how crap the world is. It's why I much prefer anything that is beyond the realms of human possibility, ie: anime, superheroes, sci-fi, etc.

I saw in the shop the other day vegan baconaise. Not sure why you'd want that if you're vegan.

Designer clothes with names on them.

You are walking around with someone else's name on your clothes. It looks beyond stupid.

That's a bit of an oldie though that was first mentioned in Back to the Future in 1985, his knickers had Calvin Klien on them, but I agree with your point

It’s a low budget soap opera produced by RTÉ and set in the fictional Dublin suburb of Barrystown.

It’s not exactly season 2 of Twin Peaks.

Carrigstown. Barrystown is the Commitments isn't it? :pac:

Sure if you have heaps of money, but the average joe who busts a gut to get a BMW or whatever.

There are so many other - better - things you can do with that money.

Why some men listen to radio shows they utterly despise just so they can complain about them on the internet. Same goes for the Late Late Show etc.

Like there is so many other things you could be watching, listening to, or doing. Is it a bonding thing or something? Some form of masochism?

Has me confused.

Let me to clear that up for you:

Complaining is one of the great joys of life.

Meh for a bit more acceleration and maybe get to your destination a few mins earlier, because you have to stay within speed limits.

Living Off The Splash

When someone pays good money for a new car. They then drive around with the car dealer's advertising sticker on the back window, an advertisement on the number plate and in the case of Gowan Motors, a big plastic advert stuck on to the boot of your car, advertising Gowan. And they allow this because he was a nice man who sold me the car....

Ireland’s refusal to deal with young scumbags intimidating people on our own streets .

The police , the courts , the prison system should be intimidating to those feral scrotes . Other countries have serious problems of course but in the vast majority of places iv been little 13/14 rats are scared stiff of the police when they see them coming . In Ireland they laugh in their face

A user who was banned years ago and now operates multiple accounts on Boards just to troll people, get threads closed down, talk about poo and generally just 'ruin' the site.

It would be so interesting to talk to that person and hear them explain exactly why they do that. Is there a certain satisfaction in having the power to ruin other people's fun? Is it like stamping on sand castles when you are a kid?

Don't you know? Real men accelerate towards a red light then jam on the brakes violently. Women love it.

I often wonder why myself. It would be a serious amount of time and effort they are putting into it. I assume they are still pissed off about getting banned years later and still want to take it out on Boards and get others banned, generally spoil other peoples fun (the original poster was the same way).
Anytime you call them out on it directly on a thread they never reply to you but instead will report your post.
If I mention one of their aliases in this post I can guarantee you I would be infracted for it... I know from experience

I'd rather stretch a series out over ten days and have something to look forward to every day, instead of the instant gratification of watching it over two days

2 episodes of anything is all I can manage in a sitting and have left stuff for months and then finish watching it,
