Exactly what it says in the title- do you have something you like from something you dislike otherwise?

For me, I stopped watching Family Guy after it became a pile of crap pandering to the lowest of the lowest-common denominator. (Oh you know it's true, don't deny it!)

...Buuttt there are a few moments I still love, such as this bit:
Yes, that is the music video for a-ha's "Take on Me". Admittedly, it's only one of those non sequitur bits they throw in for no reason, but it's still a fun bit. Plus, it introduced me to a great song, and a fantastic music video, so I begrudgingly thank the show for that.


I also have a fondness for the "FCC Song", especially in this day and age.
(Say what you will about Seth McFarlane, the man sure can sing!)

Sox what do admit to liking from something you don't care for?

Oh yeah, definitely not a fan of Family Guy, but I do like the Take on Me bit. Not the FCC bit, though.

I really don't like Ren and Stimpy, but I love the episode where they visit the young fan with the overprotective, working class father, who by the way was voiced by Randy Quaid.

The Death Note movie from Netflix removed almost everything that makes Death Note so interesting, but I loved the joke where Watari introduces himself, and hands Turner a business card that simply says "Watari." Also, Willem Dafoe Willem Dafoing it up is always fun.

Same with me.

I don't like Family Guy, but there are some really funny bits. The chowder bit, the bird is the word bit with Peter, Brian, and Stewy, and this:

Keegan Michael Key's character from Pitch Perfect 2. I regret going to that movie. I -literally- only laughed at his parts.

Finn from The Force Awakens. Despite his shitty escape, he was one of the only characters I liked in that garbage remake.

I guess Rick & Morty has decent music... ahh who am I kidding even the music sucks in this godawful show.

Firefly.. the female engineer is kind of pretty. And that's the only compliment I have for that show.

You reminded me of this scene
The suicide bomber is what slay me. Ha too bad we can't make fun of them too much in fear of retaliation.

Cocking things like a shotgun that arent actually shotguns is a joke that will -always- get me.

Alien 3, somewhere halfway through Bishop gets reactivated. And he wants to be disconnected knowing he'll never be he same again. His words in that movie are the only good moments.

I own a statue of Tracer from the Blizzard store--and I have no intention of ever touching that game because I hate multiplayer-only games.

If games are allowed aswel;

Beatrix Lucavi is one of my absolute favorite characters (see user icon) , but I wish she was in a better game than Battleborn. I've grown to dislike that game.

Oh, the regeneration thing from Doctor Who. I dont like the show, but that the Doctor can regenerate in different forms will always be one of the most brilliant excuses to continue a show while recasting the star! Who needs reboots when you got that ace in the hole?

Any scene where Michael and Kay were allowed to talk alone with one another in Godfather III.

The stuff from that Iron Fist Netflix series that revolved around whatever their names were but lets just call them "Not Norman and Not Harry Osbourne."

That Baulders Gate, a generally pretty bland game, spawned the fun and engaging Baulders Gate 2.

Seeing Chewie again in Force Awakens. Pity I won't be seeing him again

I detest Family Guy as a 20 minute show. It's better suited for a small snippets of youtube clips.

I love artwork of Bleach, despite its not being good at everything else.

-The "Make Love, not Warcraft" episode of South Park. Seeing machinima make it to prime time television was a trip back when it aired.

-Jango Fett from Attack of the Clones. I'm no Mandaboo, but I thought he was awesome. Not only was he rockin' that cool Mandalorian armor (in pristine shape, no less) but, unlike his son, he actually lived up to its intimidating appearance, going toe-to-toe with various Jedi and holding his own. My favorite scene from the film is probably his brawl with Obi-Wan on Kamino. It feels surprisingly grounded compared to the other prequel trilogy fights as they exchange blows and fight to keep their footing on the slippery surface. You can practically feel the exhaustion from both combatants by the end.

Uh, Chewbacca's going to be in The Last Jedi. You're not confusing continuities, are you? Chewie only died in "Legends" when the Yuzzhan Vong literally dropped a moon on him. Or maybe you're just saying you're not going to see TLJ, in which case you do you.

Yes, I was implying that I disliked Force Awakens. Perhaps so much that I wont see a Star Wars again.

Um, I guess Overwatch's characters? I want to play with them (oo er), but they exist in an MP only shooter - so I won't.

Other than that nothing really comes to mind, given I tend to like things in things I like, shockingly.

Ah, the X-Men films are a good'un: apart from Logan they're all dreadful in various ways (First Class would be a decent enough film as a standalone, but it's an atrocious X-Men film), but the actors they got for Xavier and Magneto are superb. I loved Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde, too, but jeese did they completely waste that casting.
