Things in films/on TV that REALLY annoy you??

chloexxcxx · 24-01-2012 10:50PM #1

I watched Dirty Dancing last night... and once again I almost threw my laptop.

Firstly when Max Kellerman says "If it wasn't for this man I'd be standing here dead". Well NO... if you were dead you wouldn;t be standing there. Twat!
Secondly at the OTT patronising way Baby tells Johnny "No... It's a GREATTTTTT room". Bitch.

Then it got me thinking about other things on TV that piss me off... and adverts came to mind.

That advert that says "Oooh... did you know that harmful germs live on your soap dispenser... Quick everyone, save yourselves and get this hands free dispenser"
Well... Surely you touch the "oh so dirty" dispenser... but then you have soap on your hands and you WASH your hands... thus washing the germs away?
But also it's all a bit redundant without a hands free tap... otherwise once you've used the hands free dispenser you just go back and touch the dirty tap you touched before washing your hands...

And do NOT even get me started on Vanish "OMG... harmful viruses LIVE in your clothes... better get this anti germy washign powder". F**K OFF!

What gets to you?

When they show a couple in the sack after doing the bold thing, and the woman always has the duvet tucked up around her shoulders, hiding the bewbs, whereas the man always has his chest on show... love to know where they get those half- duvets! :pac:

People do not wake up looking perfect (make up, hair done, etc). It seems to be a running trend for couples in movies/TV to wake up, both of them looking perfect, sharing a morning kiss.

Ehhh so not true haha, takes me at least half an hour to wake up, and don't even try to put your mouth near mine, stinky.

Adverts you despise

IsMiseDaithair · 24-01-2012 10:54PM

Anything with Neville Knot :mad: or that Cillit Bang guy

quietriot · 24-01-2012 10:56PM

The end of 40 days and 40 nights where the woman in question rapes the protagonist and not a word has been said about it in the mainstream media. That was quite annoying. If it were reversed there would be hell to pay.

There are people who buy into that germ advertisement crap. I don't know what they're trying to achieve though, children with pathetically weak immune systems, who'll face huge later in life as a result?

I also despise Katherine Heigl in anything.

Forrest Gump was a lovely guy, kind and caring

As for that bitch Jenny

She spends a lovely day with Forrest and then leaves with some loser who hits her. Why are ladies attracted to these guys???

Rejects Forrest's marraige proposal. Spends the night with him but disappears the next day

Has a son but never informs Forrest, doesn't he have a right to know?

And only asks for Forrest when she's dying and needs him

Such a user
She deserved the guy who beat her

Oh and Loreal hair colour adverts... Yeah multi millionaire Cheryl Cole obviously stays in on a night to colour her own hair with a dye that costs 7 euro.

mikemac1 · 24-01-2012 11:02PM

See that girl running down the street away from the homicial maniac?

Why doesn't run to the busy street with traffic and pedestrians around?

No, no, no she must run down the back alley or to the empty carpark.
Where she gets hacked to pieces, that's the price of stupidity

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 24-01-2012 11:02PM

Ads - the ads for washing powder that show a sheet getting muddied and then cleaned and a band new sheet on the washing line with the sun shining through it. Yep, same sheet. We believe you. (And for ****'s sake get a new ****ign idea!)

Movies - Nicolas Cage.

The way Americans are portrayed as superheroes, and every other nation as backstabbing/ and or cowardly.

ColeTrain · 24-01-2012 11:06PM

That Drinkaware ad that's on at the moment.

Blah blah..1 unit of alcohol is blah..

Makes you think about driving in the morning. DOESN'T IT.

Fcuk up

Most things on TV piss me off actually.

The way computers are constantly beeping no matter what the user is doing. I'd have driven a hammer through the casing of any PC I had to use that did that.

Then the way the computers don't need human input either and can zoom, open files etc, just by staring at it because the character never uses a mouse but instead randomly presses some keys.

Oh and passwords are always easy to guess and the characters always displayed. Even in a high-security facility.

Matthew McConaughey has a lot to answer for

The stupid sciencey bull in all women's adverts wrecks my head. "Why volumeise when you can millionise" springs to mind. And those sure ads, like the one with the girl who wears the bells on her wrist to show how much she moves...no sh1t Sherlock! And i don't care how much fires you jump over or roofs you fall through, sure or no sure for men, your gona smell like a pigs crotch! And also those stupid colgate ads with the woman in the shopping centre and the magic bacteria revealing pen..come on!

The fact that some poor ole 3d designer has to go and do really ace rotating 3D designs of guns and bullets and buildings and stuff just so the cops' analysis software looks futuristic

AeoNGriM · 24-01-2012 11:11PM

I wintered in London, Ontario in '04 and was stuck in a ****ty motel on the edge of town for Christmas. One channel was showing random movies back to back so I threw on the fat pants and merrily sat back to watch me some Bladerunner........except that I only saw about 3/4 of it since they would go to commercial without stopping the movie, so when it came back you'ld missed a couple of minutes.

They did this for every movie too. Cnuts.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Also, InjuryLawyers4U but who doesn't hate those twats!

You came home from the funeral and are sobbing on the couch. A family friend put their arm around you to comfort you. You must go to bed with them right away, it's the rules

Impossible to get away with an affair in a film or TV show
You are guranteed to get caught
But it still goes on

Nobody owns a washing machine, the launderette is busy every day and that's where you get the gossip.

You spend all day in the pub yet you never hold a job, where are you getting this money from??

You do not make your own sandwiches or tea or coffee. You go to to the "caf" for this

If you leave the street or Walford or whereever in a taxi you are never ever coming back.
If you leave in a bus or tube you'll be back later that evening.

A crashed car will always explode

If you are one week from retirement and they bring in a rookie to work with you then you are fooked :eek:

You are also fooked and going to die a horrible death if you carry around a photo of your loved ones in your wallet which you show to others.

If you are in prison or a prisoner of war or in the military abroad your best friend will be riding your wife :mad:

Adverts for quick cash loans etc. The interest rates are written at the bottom, 1295769604736252739484638% interest... its crazy!

That quickquid advert that says "no money left on payday after all your bills? TRY QUICK QUID" no no no no no, don't! If you don't have the money this month, you won't next month! Its a viscous circle with CRAZY INTEREST RATES! Borrow 20 pound, don't pay it back? WE'LL JUST TAKE YOUR HOUSE NO WORRIES! They shouldn't be allowed to advertize!

When a womans water's break then she goes into labour straight away and has a nice clean 2 month old baby with in the next hour!

And a week later it brings on the apocalypse as it's a demon from hell.

Also, computer screens manage to cast light projector style...which i always found weird.

Oh yeah, and never having to reload his gun just makes whoever is doing the shooting look like a ****.

Procedural Cop Shows should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to demonstrate their interpretation of what hacking or computer forensic examinations are or look like.

Nor should they be allowed to explain or use technical or geeky terms.

I'm looking at you CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, NCIS, Bones and Castle!

And the fact Beyonce has done those ads, that's not even her hair!! She has a weave

American TV shows and then people learn from them

That gangland criminal in Dublin, charge them with first degree murder

No such thing in Ireland....

Ah it's not a big deal, just see it on boards now and again

I love it when people open the door to be surprised by the host of whatever programme. The shot is taken from inside the person's hallway.

Same thing goes for documentaries where the journalist/host is travelling to the next destination intheir journey of discovery. The shots move between inside the vehicle, the vehicle speeding past or moving alongside the vehicle. Takes ages to stop everything and set up these shots. It all reeks of dishonesty.

Things in films/on TV that REALLY annoy you??
