Bad TV Shows

[Pinkamena]

Well, you can never go wrong with Honey Boo Boo!

Right, this is just getting sad that three different people have replied to me so far, you two twice.
Yes, it was a joke. If someone says they're objectively right when it's clearly a subjective case they're either a **** who won't change his opinion or he's joking.
In either case it's pointless to reply. So please learn to understand a clear joke.

Then let me just say that your joke was bad.
And not funny.
Unlike the Big Bang Theory.
BAZINGA.

Hoarders would be some good material, sometimes I wonder if that show is fake or not.

Also CSI: Miami or as I like to call it, CSI: Bill of Rights Violations, you could turn it into a drinking game too, where you and your friends take a shot every time one of the "cops" either a)commits a crime themselves or b)violates a suspect's civil rights (2 shots if they turn out to be innocent of the crime they're being accused of).

Yes there was really a sitcom about Hitler.

That was actually brilliant in a way. It was taking the piss out of the awful sitcoms of the time. The clichés, the clumsy handling of issues like race, the obnoxious laugh track, the stupid theme song, the awful jokes, they're all there for a reason. Heil Honey is awful because it's supposed to be, and the offence it caused means that it is a success as a statement. Nobody realized it, though, because BOO, HITLER!

About every show on MTV. Pretty much all of the shows like The Voice and American Idol. 90210, The Hills, Weeds. I find King of the Hill retarded. Uhhhhhhh, The Bachelor.

If you feel like treading into precarious waters, I recommend Jersey Shore. Most people I know who have seen it wish it a thousand deaths upon a thunderbolt Zeus hated enough to never use. <3

I'm voting for this and everything like it and everything it has spawned. It's very existence fills me with angry words.

Vampire Porn, i.e. The Vampire Diaries, True Blood and whatever trite is written about vampires nowadays.

What Dexter has become. 3/7 seasons (1,2&4) are actually worth watching but...you know...And whoever plays Dexter's sister is so goddamn annoying and I can't watch a seen between them anymore knowing that they are divorced in real life.

I would say that the newer BBC Robin Hood series is quite apt for the picking on. While somewhat enjoyable, they often have groaningly terrible call-outs to pop culture (that are really contrived and pointless).

Also, a lot of the acting and writing is relatively sub-par.

 

[Launcelot111]

Secret Life of the American Teenager is the undisputed champion. It's just a non-stop, wrong in every way after school special about sex where everyone jumps to terrible conclusions and half the plots make no sense and there's only one likable character on the whole show and that's because he's gay and thus not trying to get girls pregnant (and likable is still a stretch). The only answer for pre-marital sex is a shotgun wedding or death.

Most of the best scenes aren't on youtube, so I'll just leave this gem.

Try harder, maybe you'll be funny.
I doubt it though.

Revolution is a kind of interesting idea combined with the worlds worst execution. It even has some good actors like Giancarlo Esposito. It's just that the writers are god awful at their jobs.

There's also Big Bang Theory. I've only seen bits and pieces of it because its so mind numbingly bad. It's like an idiot's idea of what smart people are like.

 

[SadakoMoose]

For riffing?
Either major Pro-Wrestling show is a good choice, since they operate on moon logic.
Moon logic with brain damage.

Which pro wrestling show?
I know which one you meant (WWE, because they're the ONLY choice for wrestling on cable TV and no one likes TNA on Spike) but not all pro wrestling is the same. It'd be like if we criticized all movies for having too many explosions and for not treating female characters right.

What the hell man? First off, I only replied once. Second, I knew you were joking, but you were doing a shitty job of it. I suggested some pointers so you wouldn't sound like an idiot, and now you're directing your attacks at me, even though I mostly agree with you.

Fine, see if I try to help you again.

Alright, I apologize.
I just got about 3 or 4 messages in a short span and assumed that everyone was in that sort of hive mind mentality that seems to show up in these sorts of threads.
Again, sorry.

Apology accepted. Now go yell at the guy that deserved it.

Hahahaha. Yes, many angry words!

Why don't you like the show though?

The very idea of it, first off it shows one of the aspects of human nature that's just stupid and douchey and secondly it glorifies it.

For the purposes of mocking/riffing for fun, either WWE or (TNA)Impact will work.
Both shows are a revolving door of idiocy.

For the better part of the last two years, my friends and I would play a drinking game once a week based on TNA. Though we gave up watching either of those since they seemed to be repeating the same block of stupid month after month.
(though methinks a big part of it is my friend "discovering" Dr Who in his OnDemand backlog.

I can only imagine the hate towards The Big Bang Theory comes from people whose nerves have been struck. Learn to laugh about yourselves!

We've been laughing about Joey Tribiani for being dumb, George Costanza for being short, Ray Barone for being a mama's boy, Jack MacFarland for being faggy, Michael Scott for being a loser, Niles Crance for being a snob, Al Bundy for selling shoes, Cliff Clavin for making up stories.......

But God forbid we make fun of someone for being a Nerd.

I dont find mean spirited "comedy" allt hat fun to watch

its because the "jokes" (or lackthereof) are atupid and unfunny and made to apeal to the masses, not "nerds"

those "sterotypes" werent funny then and they arent funny now

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

I'd say go with Two and a Half Men. Granted, nothing much has changed script-wise since Charlie Sheen's tiger blood fuelled departure, but any and all entertainment value has left with Mr. Sheen.

Also, the 'funeral service scene/episode' marked a new low in sitcom entertainment... and, since then, the standard has been lowered by pretty much every single episode. It's a train wreck. And it's got Ashton Kutcher.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

Well this is usually where I pick the Big Bang Theory but that has made people have a go at me in the past so it is at least divided opinion on whether it's good.

2 Broke Girls however...

Hey, Kat Denning's glorious assets make up for the horribleness of that show .

OT: Any of those "The Real Housewives" shows, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant, Toddlers and Tiaras, and Honey Boo Boo.
