I’d agree here, though the real whiner is George. Jason Alexander ruins everything he appears in (he even ruined _The Music Man_, for God’s sake!)

I completely agree.  
I also have the same opinion of Howard Stern.

I don’t know about that. Even the _promos_ have Jerry continually whining.

Only when allowed to run his mouth too much. How-weird the WNBC DJ (as opposed to Talk Radio Host) wasn’t so bad.

You can come over and sit next to me. I haven’t found anything to like in any of his incarnations, but the Raconteurs especially suck.

Ernest Hemingway.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Damn! You beat me to it! I tried, but I gave up. And don’t even mention _shudder_ David Schwimmer.

Heavy Metal Bands  
Hair Bands

Movies with lots of fighting and chasing. Booooooooring.

Edited to add: The first Lord of the Rings movie put me to sleep. Twice.

There you go. Even the readable stuff (\*The Sun Also Rises, \*”The SHL of FM”) includes really irritating levels of sexism. And no, it’s NOT “the way everyone wrote back then.”

I also say Jimi Hendrix.

I like a few of his songs. I understand he was revolutionary in his day but I cannot pretend he was the greatest guitarist since the invention of strings. There have been a BUNCH of guys come along who just as good and some who are better.

That’s funny. Better than drones, though, send those metal robot dogs from Black Mirror.

Robin Williams. I never thought he was in the least bit funny. Not. One. Little. Bit. “Loud” does not equal funny.

I never watched him do standup. But he was good in **Aladdin.**

I hate Led Zeppelin, too.

I hate ice cream.

Seriously. I don’t like sweet things, and that includes ice cream.

I think he had moments. He had to have just the right role and he had more clunkers than ones that hit IMHO, but he did have some I found very funny.

The Dead were a concert group. They have two decent hit songs, but if you never saw them in concert, it is understandable you’d think “meh”.

I never liked Andy Kaufman. Him standing there, mouthing the words to Mighty Mouse’ is perhaps the least funny and most stupid thing I have ever seen. Nor was he funny on Taxi, except maybe in very small doses.
