Not to offend any Charlie McCarthy fans out there(and you know who you are but I think Puppets and ventriloquism are two of the lamest forms of entertainment around. I really don’t care if someone can bounce a block of wood on their knee while making stupid voices and drinking a glass of water! Morons! No enetertainment value at all, except for the sheer stupidity of it.
Coming a close second to this, I have to say mimes are pitiful too. I’m sorry, but “walking against the wind” and that retarded “inside the box” thing is just…stupid!
What forms of “entertainment” annoy the hell out of you folks?

Fun at other people’s offense… such as Jerky Boys or Tom Green. That type of crap just pisses me off. Now, some people deserve to be made fun of… but just targeting innocents… grrrrrr…
Monkeys!!! Comedy where the producers believe that the addition of a monkey to anything makes it 10 fold funnier.
Embarassment comedy. You know the type where a character is placed in a awkward and embarassing situation, and his blushing and squirming create humor. I just don’t find it entertaining, it just makes me awkward watching it. An example is: a charater must make a speech and all his jokes and material flounder in front of the stoic crowd, ha ha, this is so damn funny.
Demo, you’ve been my puppet for 20 years now, mimicking everything I say, just like those other little wooden dummies.
Watching you post to the board, post in the chat room, send e-mail, send ICQ’s, scan pictures and play Acropohobia, ALL AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!!! You really need a life, ya net ho’!
(Sorry about that, dude, but you just made it so easy. ;))
Someone mentioned wrestling, although I find it entertaining simply BECAUSE it’s so low brow. Sometimes you just have to turn your brain off and enjoy certain things.
Pretty much any sporting activity aired on TNN (Roller Jam, Rockin’ Bowl, monster trucks) has to be a little higher on the list than wrestling, though.

Pokemon, furbies, beanie babies, and any other insipid form of “collectible” like milk caps and barbie dolls. What a bunch of useless junk.
Hunting. r-e-d-n-e-c-k, find out what it means to be…
Can we possibly forget the medievil folks that go out into the woods and beat each other with rattan swords and the like whilst three sheets to the wind?
how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…

(Puts hand on hilt) And what, good sir, is idiotic about that? (Or rather, You try telling the rather large Nordic gentleman behind me to stop playing with that axe…)
Hey man, that takes skill! If you want to see something really funny, try watching a drunk-ass Dirty Devil as he curses and bitches while working on an inanimate object. Remember changing those brakes? ::ducking::

Hearty agreement with all mentioned above. And then there are:
court groupies; people who watch trials, any trials, just for “kicks”.
civic cranks; folks who attend every boring council and commission meeting and rant; they also amuse themselves by writing rambling, incoherent letters to the editors of newspapers.
yard sale fanatics; they map out campaigns and wage open warfare to get first crack at junk.
most AOL chatroom addicts; they spend hours and hours saying nothing and mangling spelling and grammar doing it.
Hmmm, this is fun and I haven’t even mentioned rolle bolle, Civil War re-enacters, poetry slams and coupon/rebate addiction.
1)Golf – as played by people who want to pretend it’s really ‘athletics’;
2)People who watch golf.
Maybe, if they made all the players carry their own bags and run from shot to shot, that might be interesting – make it a combination of timed race and getting the ball in the hole.
Well, maybe it’s because I am not over 60, I don’t smoke a pack of cigarettes an hour, and I don’t particularly like those funky little trolls with the crazy hair colors, but I think BINGO is the biggest waste of time. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for gambling, give me a blackjack table or a hot slot machine anyday. But Bingo? B-O-R-I-N-G.
If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
