I merely disliked “American Beauty”, until some friends asserted that this meant I didn’t “get it”. Now, I could write a thesis.
Also, Derek Jeter: with what brand of eyes is he even remotely attractive?
Seinfeld
Monty Python
Alcohol - I will use wine in cooking, and I will try a drink if the alcohol is diluted enough that I can’t taste it, but then what’s the point? I won’t have more then 1 drink, I don’t have any desire to get drunk or even buzzed. Thanks anyway, keep it for yourself.
Eggs - the texture, the smell. Ick! How can you eat that? (OK, so I don’t care if anyone else eats it, but please keep the stinky hard-boiled eggs away from me. NO, I don’t want any deviled eggs!)
Cantaloupe. I don’t know what anyone sees in it.
Napoleon Dynamite. Was it supposed to be funny? Did I miss all the jokes somehow? I’ve seen it few times, and I truly do not see the appeal.
King of the Hill. Not funny.
The Beatles and The Eagles, but especially The Doors. Dull, dull, dull. It probably has something to do with the fact that I was born in 1985, but I find The Doors soooo boooring. If I find myself stuck listening to the Doors, I will punch myself in the leg, just to relieve the monotony.
Another vote for Angelina Jolie. She looks like a heroin addict whose lips were replaced with caterpillars infected with wasp larva.
Beer. More accurately, I love beer. It’s all the stuff that claims to be beer but doesn’t have Aurthur Guinness’ name on it that I dislike.
Bargain Bin DVDs. Imagine a heap of chum thrown into shark-infested waters. Now replace “chum” with “bin of $5 DVDs” and “sharks” with “my friends who are at the store with me for some reason”. Everything else in the image remains the same, except that the latter is more manic and frightening.
Buffalo wings.
Their smell reminds me of vomit.
Family Guy summed up the unfuniness of Sandler pretty well here:
I don’t care for coffee, never drink it, and many can’t seem to GET that…people, even a few I’ve known for years, offer me coffee and then when I say no thanks, they press, “are you sure?” until I explain that I don’t drink it, ever. Then I get the LOOK…the sort of blank, uncomprehending stare. WTH? It’s just COFFEE! Not as if every adult HAS to drink it. :rolleyes:
Now, dark chocolate covered espresso beans? Hold me back! 
Clam dip. EWWWW! Disgusting in every aspect to me. And again, those offering or enjoying it can’t seem to get over that I JUST DON’T LIKE IT/WANT ANY! :smack:
Same for canned fruit salad. Now, a lovely FRESH fruit salad, in the proper context, rocks my world, but it is a whole 'nother species than that cooked, corn syrupy, slimy crap no-one can seem to grasp why I am not eating.
Reality tv. NO, I didn’t catch Dancing with Stars or Survior or Big Brother or Top Model or whatever last night…went out of my way to MISS it, in fact. I confess to enjoying What Not to Wear, though, does that count?..even my kids love it 
BTW, I LOVE cantalope…just cut one yesterday and ate half of it with my 9 yr old daughter. (I’m well under 65, ftr:p)
And don’t get me started on Johnny Depp
I don’t understand the urge some have to interrogate, convert, and otherwise get so interested in the differring preferences of those around them. So someone doesn’t like Seinfeld, who CARES? Me, I like it ok, and in its time, it was among the best television, imo, but I could care less if someone agrees. IMO, people who have conversations about tv shows longer than 30 seconds are sad. 
What are you? Some kind of a sicko?
Strawberries. (same as above: “What? Are you allergic?” , “um no, I just don’t care for them.”
Adam Sandler. I’m sorry, talking in funny voices isn’t funny. I liked you when you were on Remote Control however. That was a fun show!
Big Lebowski. I’ve tried to watch that movie twice, and just couldn’t finish it either time. I’ll try one more time before I officially say I don’t like it, but I’m not hopeful.
I’d add reality TV, and Dan Brown to the list, but those are polarizing enough where people arent surprised anymore when you say you don’t like them.
For that matter, Family Guy. I tried watching it one time and it utterly escapes me what anyone sees in that show.
Star Wars (Any of them)
Star Trek (ANY of it)
Seinfeld
The Office
Scrubs
Grey’s Anatomy
The Lord of the Rings (Books or Movies)
It’s been suggested. 
Oh yeah, I’m with you on this one. If you took out all the parts about homosexuality, plus any scene with the teenagers in it, the weird kid, the daughter, and that UGLY Mena Suvari, I think it would be a great movie.
I loved watched Kevin Spacey stick it to the man at his job, and be totally content working at McDonalds, then busting his wife with the other real estate agent in the drive-through. Add some fluff around that part of the movie, and I’d go watch it again!
I’m seeing coffee listed a lot. I like coffee, but I’m not surprised when people don’t like it. Hell most of the people who claim to like coffee doctor it up so much, it has to taste like a slightly bitter cream & sugar concoction.
Is there really that many people who are surprised that others don’t like coffee? What rock have they been under?
Wow. Just… wow. salinqmind, I wish possesed the power to give you the joy of my holiday experiences. I love Turkey. I truly enjoy the opportunity to see my siblings and talk about old times and reminisce about my mother who died last year. I agree with you that Christmas is for kids, but I love it as an adult to. My granddaughter was born last December 17th. So this coming Christmas is going to be a special treat even though she’ll only be one year old. I also agree on the idiot spending. The fact is, I make enough money, where if I want something, I go buy it. For me to get something I want for Christmas, I basically have to do without, so I can get it on Christmas day. Consumables are great gifts for me. i.e. movie tickets, etc. There’s no forced jolliness when we cook out or go to the beach. It’s a time to enjoy hanging out with family and friends.
Oh, and I loved Married with Children and enjoyed Roseanne.
This could be a long list, but these four come up as the ones that people just don’t BELIEVE…
[ul]
[li]Coffee - Don’t like the taste, can’t stand the smell. Yes, this means I don’t want mocha, or coffee-flavored ice cream! I don’t like the flavor and I don’t want to ruin perfectly good chocolate or ice cream.[/li][li]Reality TV - I’ve watched bits and pieces of a bunch of reality shows, and I just simply flat-out don’t get it. The only one I’ve liked is the one where they lure someone away for a weekend and decorate their house, because it has some cool ideas.[/li][li]Sweets - Yep. I prefer the taste of diet cola to cola, I’d rather have salty snacks like pretzels than sweet chocolately ones, I want dry wines, and I take my iced-tea unsweetened.[/li][li]South Park - I can’t count how many times people have pushed me to just watch one more time. “You’ll love it! Just pay attention to all the subtle undertones and satire!” Sorry. It’s a bunch of obnoxious, rude, swearing, farting six-year-olds giggling at six-year-old humor. I do not like it, Sam I Am.[/li][/ul]
Gifts, don’t like getting them, don’t like giving them. I do give them when I have to and I do accept them graciously.
If I want something, I buy it. If I didn’t know I wanted something, I didn’t want it badly enough to have to keep it, store it and take care of it. This really puts a kink into buying anyone else a gift, since I take all the burden I feel when I get a gift and apply those feelings to the person I’m giving the present to - even though I know I stand nearly alone on this.
I loathe cheese. Any kind of cheese, though there are a few inoffensive types, such as that placed in Subway’s sandwiches, which don’t actually make me want to hurl, and are merely like chewing plastic.
I dislike coffee as well; I’m a tea drinker. There are a few lightly-flavoured coffee things I don;t mind, but if it’s bitter, it’s off my list.
Alcohol? Never saw the attraction. Champagne? Whiskey? Beer? Meh. I’ll take my Polish fizzy bottled water and add my organic juice-and-vitamin extract instead, thanks.
Drumline. Watched that movie in Band class about 50 times over the course of three years, and I still didn’t “get” it. Just got sick of it. Everyone else in that class loved the movie, though.
Aw, thanks, Enright3! Don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but most of my family is dead, or moved away, and what’s left is just plain sad. If I HAD a warm jolly family, I wouldn’t BE so anti-holiday! I envy you! (Maybe in December I can write a nice tragic Christmas rant in the Pit. :D).
Brad and Angelina. I certainly don’t hate them, but I don’t get the fascination with their looks, their movies, or their lifestyle. I don’t get it!
