Things you hate that everybody out there seems to love

Cake. The food not the band. I strongly dislike cake, I don't eat it, ever. I am often the weird one at birthday parties and shit everyone is all "Hey you want some cake?" or "Wow, you ate your piece fast" and I always have to say "No I do not want/did not have any cake." and then they just stare at me weirdly
The one that comes to mind that I'm surprised isn't listed here already is Batman: The Dark Knight. What an absolutely god awful and dull movie this was. During the course of it I fell asleep and was awoken by some random noise three different times during my first viewing. Since it was getting such wide praise, it had me scratching my head and I gave it another chance to which I wish I hadn't bothered. This is just a bad movie. If it was only that I suppose I wouldn't care but I now hate it on multiple levels.
First level: This movie is nothing more than the plot of Daredevil, which most people hate, but forty minutes longer; and those forty minutes longer was just pointless dialogue non-sense filler that the movie didn't need. If you watch scene for scene side by side between those two movies, the amount that got ripped off is infuriating.
Second level: This movie ruined Christian Bale. Before this movie he was capable of showing a wide array of emotions. This movie is nothing but growly tough-talk voice and he got critical acclaim for it. All of his roles since have been the same.
Third level: This movie is being called Heath Ledger's last great role. Really? He was barely in it and his character was very one-dimensional. He even won an Oscar for it leaving the taste that it was out of pity and nothing more which overall hurts the portrayal of his acting skills. It also completely ignores The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: a much, much better movie. One worthy to be called a last great role.
Final level: I would be willing to shut up about all this if it weren't for the sheer amount of praise this movie gets, to the point of being absurd. The Dark Knight was ranked the 15th greatest film in history on Empire's 2008 list of the "500 Greatest Movies of All Time,"; it came in first for movie of the decade in Entertainment Weekly; it overtook Godfather to come in first in IMDB's Movie of All Time statics. Just makes it all the more bitter.

Op makes me sad. Pixar, LotR, AND Spiderman? Say it's not so!
OT: Pokemon, Shadow of the Colossus, Arrested Development, Durararara (or however the hell you spell it), and Bioshock.
EDIT: I think I'm gonna cry. Post above me hates TDK! I mean, I've seen people actually hate it just because it was popular, but this guy seems to legitimately dislike it.

Woah woah woah I can understand you hating Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Dragonforce, and a few other things on your list. But how on earth can you hate the Beatles I mean this astounds me when people say they hate the Beatles I can understand you being bothered at how ubiquitous their songs are but to outright hate them seems impossible to me. I don't see how you can call Toy Story an obvious piece of shit. It seems to me you just hate popular things. Not that you can't hate them but most of those things you listed aren't obvious pieces of shit because they all have redeeming qualities. If they're widely considered good by many critics then they must have done something right and that would be the reason why they are popular.Tajomaru said:
OT: I can't really think of anything thats popular that I consider a piece of shit besides maybe Metallica or the whole metalcore scene.
First, the obvious ones:
Twilight, Justin Bieber, most Disney celebrities, "leet speak" and pointlessly arguing over the internet.
Now for ones I haven't heard very much:
Getting married, having children, McDonald's and reality shows (They aren't even close to reality, nobody acts like that normally.)

That "Steam excepted" wears down anything else you'd say.. It is one of the most shitty services on the planet.Continuity said:
Do you even have a soul?Tajomaru said:
And didn't I see this thread less than twelve hours ago?
And did absolutely no one who posted read "I am not talking about retarded pop-culture icons like Twilight or Highschool Musical, but rather serious stuff that are widely considered good"?
Anyway, I hate Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. It's a terrible graphic novel that triggered the worst thing to ever happen to comics.
It's funny, I'm the exact opposite in that respect.Se7enUpMustang said:
I hate country music, music involving auto-tune, the really bad hip-hop/rap that comes out nowadays, Left 4 Dead, JRPGs, MW2 - although I still play it with my friends once in a while, Avatar, obviously there's more I just can't think of 'em right now.
Hello, where did that come from?Johnny-Natrium said:
you're entitled to an opinion but it would be nice if you explained what you don't like about steam so that perhaps I can make an effective retort?
This part of your argument makes the least amount of sense I've seen Daredevil and theres literally no comparison. I'd like you to point out the parts of the plot that are the same because from what I remember they are completely different movies. Also the acting in The Dark Knight was infinitely better. Also what scenes in The Dark Knight did you consider filler. It seems you're upset that it topped a movie you like on some list that doesn't make a difference. While I did like the film I'm not one of those people who calls it one of the best movies ever but its still a good film.Orekoya said:

Pants. Im a man who hates wearing pants. they are restrictive, expensive, the fastest garment to dirty, and try finding a pair that fits. Im not a large guy and my exact pant size is 29x31. to small for a 30' waist and too large for a 28', and if i get a 30 inch leg my socks show constantly, a 32 in leg and the slack gets caught in my bike chain.
id wear shorts but my legs are covered in a mat of dark hairs over my naturally pale skin. its too hideous for any polite company. When Im at home i wear robes, but thats not "acceptable" to be out and about in public.

Final fantasy, omg do I hate that everywhere I go people fucking love final fantasy. I haven't played them all but the 2 or 3 of them I have played for 15 minutes just made me want to never experience those damn games again.
Let's see...
Anything written by Tolkien, or Frank Miller.
any of the CSI's
amazingly for a born and bred metalhead... any of Ozzy's solo career
Halo series.
Heath Ledger as the Joker, he got all that acclaim cause he died, if he was alive he'd have been called a good casting choice but he wouldn't have been lionized the way he was.
Spider-man
and any movie that is released in 3-D

You haven't browsed these forums very long, have you?Se7enUpMustang said:
I agree with you on the country music, however, as a fellow southerner.
On topic, The Office. Seriously, I don't get why everyone thinks it's some work of comedic brilliance.
ZING!!! good show old chap. of all the drugs he could hate he hate's the one that's less harmful than cigarettes and alcohol? I fail to see the logicThe Amazing Tea Alligator said:but you'd be much cooler if you did it toolee1287 said:
