Things you hate that everybody out there seems to love

[Tajomaru]

There are things out there, either a song, a film, a character, a book, etc. that everyobody seems to be in love with, that you hate. It may turn out to be a full cultural phenomenon which pisses you off even more as you can't find the fucking reason why people are in such awe to an obvious piece of shit. I have found that these things happen quite often, and I am not talking about retarded pop-culture icons like Twilight or Highschool Musical, but rather serious stuff that are widely considered good. I for example, am utterly disgusted by:

-the 3 Spiderman movies
-M.D. House
-Seinfeld
-Lord of the Rings, both movies(which were boring) and books (which were lame)
-Led Zeppelin and The Beatles
-Shawshank Redemption(what is up with that movie anyway?)
-The Hurt locker
-Paulo Coelho and Anne Rice(somehow they overlap in my head)
-Toy Story, Wall-E, Up, Ratatouille(basically I hate Pixar)
-300
-Family guy, American dad, The Cleveland show
-Dragonforce, Rhapsody or any nerdy-geeky-lame bands in this fashion

Consider yours. There have to be at last a few.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Left 4 Dead 1 + 2.

I like the rest of Valve's work...but this...I just don't enjoy it one bit. I can't even put my finger on why, really. I just find it really boring.

-

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I didn't even laugh once...

-

"Immersion".

What is the big deal with the Escapist userbase and this "immersion" bullshit?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

PC elitists. smug bastards...

*looks at topic title*

A majority of people like PC Elitists?!

 

[Timotei]

Napoleon Dynamite.

I never even grinned during that movie.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Left 4 Dead 2.

Seriously I get so annoyed at it and I think Left 4 Dead 1 was better.

 

[Outright Villainy]

metroid. i should love ti but for some reason it bores me to tears.

I get this too. I can't stand the 2D scrollers, and I thought he prime series was all right. I got pretty bored trying it a second time though.

 

[Emperor Platypus]

Facebook, I'm the ONLY one who hates that............ I am the only one right?

Stargate (any of the 3 series).
Most people I know absolutely love it.
It's always fun to see their heads explode when I tell them that I don't watch it and have no intention to do so.

[Blue Musician]

Er, people?

Other than that, The COD series, Metroid, Castlevania, Stubbs the Zombie, Oddworld, Legacy of Kain, the Total War series...

 

[devildog1170]

Avatar the movie. Holy shit, I never wanted to leave during a movie so bad.

 

[Je Suis Ubermonkey]

The Beatles and Elvis.
Harry Potter.
Every Western ever.
Warhammer.

Now if you'll excuse me I feel the need to RAGE!

 

[Rot Krieg]

Halo. I've always been a PC gamer primarily, even though most of my time is now spent with my friends on Xbox Live. When Halo first came out it seemed like just an okay FPS to me. It's popularity isn't surprising given that it was marketed to console gamers, but it's never appealed to me. I guess I don't have nostalgia to go off of. Then again, I guess most Halo fans wouldn't understand why I love Doom so much.

Facebook, I'm the ONLY one who hates that............ I am the only one right?

Nah, you ain't the only one. I don't get it either.

Facebook, I'm the ONLY one who hates that............ I am the only one right?

Nope. The complete destruction of Facebook would make my day. Even if my day involved wrestling a flaming shark (and winning of course).

 

[Salviar]

Justin Bieber.


...Oh! And Borat and Bruno.

 

[Branches]

The movie Sideways.

 

[Da Joz]

Lady GaGa, shes just a more extreme Madonna clone.

 

[lee1287]

Drugs, mainly weed, in the Uk i swear everyone is doing it.

 

[the Dept of Science]

I wouldn't say hate about any of these things but...

I don't see why the the Godfather is considered the greatest movie of all time
why the Beatle's are considered the best band of all time
why Kind of Blue is consonsidered the best jazz album of all time

Also totally don't get the big deal behind Huckleberry Finn or Catcher in the Rye.

I feel very reluctant to call any of them "bad" because of the acclaim that these things have. But if I were to see/listen to/read any of them without knowing what they were, I would have put all of them down somewhere between "meh" and "pretty good, nothing special".

 

[Bomberman4000]

Lost, The Beetles, Tom Hanks. That's the top three that I can come up with off the top of my head
