Dumb/Stupid Things You Can't Help But Enjoy

[Ambi]

Spoiler: I want to join in, or just skip around among them. I'd probably be murdered though.

Dance or die?

I too often disgustingly gorge myself on the internet smorgasbord of little dumb entertaining things. Goofy rednecks laughing at amateur car jumps, girls dancing to 90's europop, atheist circle-jerk rage comics, cats being cats, Pimp My Ride, /fa/, /r/WTF, making self-aware comments to strangers who probably don't care, etc.

/fa/ is one of the most shameful on that list because people might assume I go there to vainly stare at pictures of attractive people in the hope some of their stylishness will rub off on me. Not at all. Fashion is an interesting sociological phenomenon, and to an extent, an art, and I go there to... think about that stuff.

I'm going to go read a book now.

Two words: Pop Punk.

This. I enjoyed Life Sux by Wavves. Buying it was mildly embarrassing. It reeks of whiny spoiled trend-whore adolescence, even though the symbols are supposed to be ironic.

I know I will get a lot of crap from bronies but I'm going with my little pony. it is delightfully stupid.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Shows like Jackass, Viva la Bam, Wildboyz... it's more entertaining than Jersey Shore, I can tell you that...

 

[Freaky Lou]

Dexter. Immensely entertaining series, utterly unrealistic and corny as it very often is.

And for that matter, Youtube p00p:

I have two words for you:

Chap Hop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iRTB-FTMdk

I really love subverting the form. I think the finest example of this is Ben Folds' cover of Dr Dre's "Bitches Ain't Shit", but Chap Hop is a law unto itself - especially the "feud" between Professor Elemental and Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer.

Oh gods. Chap hop is the best silliest music around.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Always makes me burst into treats, also its pretty loud

 

[putowtin]

milkshake,
I'm not talking any fancy smancy ice cream creation trendy coffee bars make
I'm talking powdered milkshake mix and milk.... mmmmm! ... off to make one.... wait.....



I'm back with milkshake!
oh I know what else, my cat when she runs into the glass door..... one day she'll work it out!

 

[FamoFunk]

Memes.

I didn't realise until coming on here how much they're hated and are 'stupid' or, 'dumb'

But I really love them.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Cheesy 90's boy band music. I squee a little in nostalgia every time.

 

[loudestmute]

Reading Encyclopedia Dramatica [http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Main_Page]. It's a veritable treasure trove of people making asses of themselves on the internets, currently including even more reasons to hate Paul Christoforo. And various forms of NSFW content, so please do not bother if you would like to stay employed.

Two words: Pop Punk.

*glances at cd collection full of pop punk sampler albums*

...Yes, fine. While I do consider buttrock to be the guiltier pleasure, in times of Crises I find myself reaching for Dookie more than 1984. So yeah. Hooray, pop punk!

 

[Nulmas]

Spoiler: I have one of those videos, too.

I have no idea why I laugh at this. You might want to turn down your speakers, though, it's a bit loud ...

Ive seen parts of them but never the entire films, I really need to check if my video store has them.

I may be wrong, but isn't that Abobo from the Double Dragon movie?

As for my stupid thing, I'd have to go with the Dragon Ball: Evolution.

Most people I know that have seen it consider it stupid and unwatchable, but I think it's a masterpiece of unintentional comedy.

As a couple of friends of mine once said after I convinced them to rent it, it's the DVD that keeps on giving. Even the extras are funny.

 

[SuperPogo]

S4 League. It's some Third-Person Shooter MMO where your character can dash around & leap off of walls like they're the World's Best Acrobat, all while shooting enemies like mad. To keep it simple, it's very unintelligent, yet wild, crazy fun.

 

[SckizoBoy]

What you might also like (if you haven't seen it already), are the Hot Shots! movies. The second one was the best.

*death by fart* ... (!)

God, there are shit loads of dumb moments in those films... *body count* ... *NOW OFFICIALLY THE BLOODIEST FILM EVER MADE!!* etc... loved them, though!

I love the muppets... I cant help it, and I don't know why! I rarely actually sit down to watch them, or plan to watch them (even though I have all the series and all the films on DVD, but thats more out of principle) but I find if I see it on, or they are on in the background I am instantly captivated, and distracted... Including seseme street... And especially Muppets Treasure Island!

How dare you call the Muppets dumb/stupid (or infer because of the thread title)... they're very informative! =P

OT: Football... I know, I know, it's just twenty-two brainless men kicking a ball from one side of a 120m long pitch to the other with three other just as brainless men trying to watch them a little harder than the rest, but yet I must follow the EPL so damned avidly. On that note... what a last few days we've had, eh?!

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

All of those "Fus Ro Dah!" videos. They're dumb, its the same joke each time, but I love it

Spoiler: Some of my favorites

^I made that one

Also, though I am a bit sick of the whole "arrow in the knee" thing, this video was fantastic:

We'll settle this the old Navy way ... first to die, loses! XD

I don't enjoy any sports, but regarding (European) football, it doesn't seem that stupid to me. What I find dumb is American football. Two teams of huge, steroid-filled chunks of meat slamming each other around a field. Best part? It's called "football", but they carry the ball with their hands and only kick it during the punts. Ah, we Americans and our logic! XD

It's rather out of character for me, but still, it's stupid when you march into work and shout:

[HEADING=2]"TWO-ONE!!!"[/HEADING][footnote]Fulham 2 - 1 Arsenal on Monday if anyone's wondering...[/footnote]

in a colleague's face with arms raised above your head while said colleague's boss is right beside you.

And yeah... never understood why American football is called 'football', though the Australians have it weird: Association Football; Rugby Football Union; Rugby Football League; & Australian Rules Football. All four are 'football' systems, though only the first doesn't have the hands as the primary mode of transport for said ball! In all cases though, the fucking money... it's pitifully soulless... *sigh*
