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

The thing that annoys me most is guns with infinite ammo. It's especially bad when someone has a six shooter which fires upwards of 15 rounds without a reload.

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!

Seachmall, to try and keep a bit of peace around here, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and presume the mention of Castle was purely accidental.

Castle is hardly meant to be taken as a serious procedural show. It's about as light as a programme can get without being a fully fledged comedy. Once you realise that it's awesome!

Films with no squirting in it are anoying

I get that it's not supposed to be a serious, suspense ridden, in your face cop show but unless it's an extremely subtle out-and-out parody of procedural cop shows they have some stupid lines.

I've only seen a couple of episodes but it's not something I could watch because of that.

People playing a console on what seems to be an Xbox 360 / Playstation 3. However, they look like your grandparents mashing all the buttons, swinging the controller in the air and the sounds from the TV ("Pew-PewPewPew!") seems like they're playing an Atari.

Nonsensical computer talk where the actors just spout random gibberish to sound techy. Everything must make a noise, even if the person is trying to be covert and opens a folder ("BEEEEEEEP!!!!")

When hackers strike, start mashing your keyboard with a buddy :pac:

People who get stabbed in the stomach die instantly, rather than bleed out for a couple of hours in agonising pain.

top ten list of tv annoyances

1. Volume control - Adverts too loud - tv program too quiet.

2. Go compare advert - done to death

3. Compare the market/meerkat advert - done to death

4. Churchhill Advert

5. Too many advert breaks when watching movies on most channels.

6. Tv stations repeating the same episode the next day (bbc3 do it quite often with family guy/american dad)

7. Sign language guys standing in the middle of the screen blocking the view to the tv show....stand in the fecking corner out of the way ya nubs.

8. Overuse of the beebs when inappropriate language is used... some words aren't even swear words

9. Wonga/payday loan adverts - why would anyone use these extortionists? 2870% interest are ya mad?

10. sky news boring you to death with the same story for days at a time and neglecting all the other news.

In this era of TV why even have them there at all?

Surely it could be optional for the deaf instead of showing it to all.

Empty Cups.

Why not just fill them with water and pretend to drink. Its so obvious they're empty from the way theyre held. Most recent example I saw was in the guard at the start when the new guy arrives with 2 empty paper cups.

kfallon · 25-01-2012 01:11PM

In the 'Surf Club' in Home & Away years ago, there was a pool table which seemed to follow no rules, all you ever saw was people hitting random balls off each other, never seemed to be the cue ball hit first ffs!

Or to continue the Pool/Snooker theme, why in any film/show is the black ball ALWAYS hanging over the pocket for the last shot and when it is potted everyone says, "Wow great shot!"....no it wasn't, it was nearly impossible to miss!

How the vast majority of videogames in tv shows and films are represented does my head in.

I dont see why you're so excited with that Gameboy kid, THERE'S NO BLOODY GAME IN THE BACK OF IT.

That's a ps2 game on the tv, WHY ARE THEY HOLDING N64 PADS?!

RichieC · 25-01-2012 01:46PM

reaction shots in soaps, was in my friends yesterday and his girlfriend watches them. I noticed they have a guy in fair city with aspergers. cool. all for raising awareness.

However, isnt EVERYONE in these shows autistic? I mean someone says something, character proceeds to their overly forced reaction shot and the other character is completely oblivious to it!

You okay?

*huge gloomy stair* yea..

okay lets go to the pub and get pissed!

also when they're lying, the cat could tell i was spoofing if I went on like that to him..

feck off you talentless ****.

Was watching Hawaii 5-0 there and was disgusted by an extremely obvious product placement for Subway! SMH!

That annoying Nescafe ad, "I'll get the ladder, you get the filler", cockteasing bitch.:mad:

The Go Comapre add drives me insane. I'd love to knock lumps out of the fat cnut.

Tzar Chasm · 25-01-2012 02:07PM

one that irks me intensley

'Follow the Breadcrumbs'

FS a Cursory glance at the Hansel and Grettel story would show why this is retarded.

the Breadcrumbs didnt work, it was pebbles the first time which Hansel followed to get home, Breadcrumbs led them to get lost anded up at the wicked witches gingerbread house and almost end up in the cookpot

theres a clip for one of those CSI Shows where some bint says all we have to do is follow the breadcrubs home:mad::mad::mad:

chloexxcxx · 25-01-2012 02:46PM

I hate how on soaps everyone seems to have everyone elses number, even if they're enemies! And when they call them, they seem to answer after like a second! I also hate how people can be talking and apparantly the people right next to them can't hear them?! Or lurking behind corners listening to people,, Their all at it!!!

Another stupid one that annoyed me recently was watching eastenders at Pats funeral... Davids enemy Derek just decided to go to the funeral.. Yeah I hate your guts and I hated your mother but Ill still go to the funeral...
Anddd not only that but ill never let you near my 50 year old sister because I must protect her....

The way in offices/police stations each character walks on screen to spout their lines as the previous character exits the screen - rinse and repeat - ala West Wing, Law and Order etc etc.

haha - Ice T always seems to enter a room and finish someone's sentence, talking as if he'd heard the entire previous 3min discussion!

Detective: how's it looking?
DA: With the hair follicle we found, we might get him to plead Man 1.
(Ice T enters room)
Ice T: Not likely; the DNA sample just came back negative.
Detective: Wow - how did you know what we were talking about?

TobyZiegler · 25-01-2012 02:58PM

In Criminal Minds when they ask the computer girl to narrow down the field of suspects..
''I need to see every guy who shopped in the same store as the victim, whos parents died when he was young and who drives a red car"

3 seconds later... "I've got him".

Really? Come on!

The Lorax · 25-01-2012 03:03PM

"Okay, isolate the car reg on that blurry CCTV footage. Zoom in closer - enhance!"

WTF? You can't enhance to a resolution that was never there!

YEAH. And nobody ever finished a game. Someone would suggest a game of pool, would hit a random ball as described, then another character would enter, they'd put the cues on the table and all walk out together. Pretty clear that they didn't have to pay for the table, or they'd manage to interfere with the coin slot. Right under Mister Stewart's nose!

I've never had a group of my friends come to a presentation I was giving, doctor's appointment or meeting to give "moral support", like seems to happen in most sit-coms.

keano_afc · 25-01-2012 03:20PM

I hate the potrayal of the male of the species in adverts, be it on tv or radio. Being a man, I never realised how stupid all men were until advertising opened my eyes.

Possibly the most ridiculous character ever to appear in any soap.

My number one annoyance. Over a third of my screen is taken up with a person signing to me and I'm not even deaf!! Incredibly frustrating! In the 'digital age' you would think that signed programmes would be opt-in via the 'red button'.

Advert volume also really annoys me.

Barmen always have shotguns which is generally coupled with a complete disregard for their own lives

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