I feel your shame, SurrenderDorothy. I am a whore for anything in list form. “Celebrity Secrets Revealed”? Not a chance. But “Top 10 Celebrity Secrets Revealed” and I am there for the entire marathon.
Foodwise, I get cravings for bad Chinese food, the kind that you get from nasty looking places that serve things other than Chinese. Luckily, my neighborhood has an abundance of these. My favorite place will sell Chinese, gyros, cheeseburgers, and fried chicken. It is a counter where the service people are behind a plexiglass screen.
My secrect life…world weekly news,5am softcore porn on cinemax,nicolas cage movies and …maury povich(I have nightmares of being in a room with a sexy,secret decoy)
Sports radio.
Whenever I need to turn off the old cerbellum and just coast through the hour, I’ll turn on that stuff.
Okay, nice to know I’m not the only sucker for “101 Really Dumb Things You Could Not Possibly Care About And You’ll Never Get These Five Hours Back” and its ilk…because once I stop for a second I’m slaved in for the duration… I Love The 1880s, Best Jelly Sex Toys You Had As A Child, Most Visible Panty Lines, Celebrity Lip Skids, you name it and I’ll watch it, and not just once, but all the reruns and multiple airings, I am a whore…
HGTV is the Crack Channel as far as I’m concerned. Paint it, faux finish it, landscape it, repair it, grow petunias in it, glue beads to it, reupholster it, pick it up off the side of the road and stuff it, whatever–I’ll watch the lot.
Terrible gore fest horror movies, the more awful the better. I about had a panty splash over the Rob Zombie Netflix double feature, 13 Ghosts I’ll watch any time it’s on, Saw, Hostel, fine & dandy and bring it on, beeyatch!
Jalapeno Poppers and ranch dressing. Just shameful, is all…
Don’t know if these count as lowbrow or not, but I’m a complete freak for all those Public Broadcasting short series featuring anachronistic living–1900 House, Pioneer House, the Viking and Celt ones, all those shows I’m helpless to resist. I’d turn down a date with George Clooney if it meant missing out on a critical episode… Well, capture cards mean I could have George AND the show–so hey, George, call me!
Mindless potato chip books featuring plucky working class heroines finding the right guy amidst wacky situations–usually with weird pastel 50s-60s styled covers that make Steele Savage look like Rembrandt. Love these things… Red Dress Books kind of stuff, a lot of it’s from the UK.
Trader Joe’s fruit jellies, those bastards saw me coming!
Road food. Stuff you get from non-chain C-store “delis” that has to be eaten with one hand while driving–extra points for managing multiple dipping sauces without a navigator. Teriyaki skewers, tater wedges, chicken strips, fried tube food of many nameless types and flavors…
Mercedes Lackey.
Little Debbie orange cupcakes. They’re hexagonal, it’s an imperative!
ICP? Yeah, me too… 
Whoo…deep breath…
I occasionally watch The Price Is Right and feel really happy when people win, with a big grin on my face; “You GO, Girl!!! Good for you!” And I’ll actively play the pricing games, especially the final Showcase Showdown. I don’t buy most of that stuff, but am pretty good at pricing it, not that it’s a brainiac competition. I just love it when the contestants win.
I think it comes from a time in early childhood when my parents were at great odds, and I would watch Let’s Make A Deal with wonderful Mexican housekeeper Juana, who would get screaming excited over the show, and smile, hug us and love it when people won.
Bob Barker makes me uneasy, though.
Low Brow TV:
I love watching That 70’s Show reruns whenever I can.
I used to watch Saved By The Bell religiously. lol
Ah, the school nights I spent staying up with mom, chain-smoking, and watching Prisoner Cell Block H.
Yeah, I was 13. At least she didn’t let me drink! 
Maybe I should wear dark glasses and a trench coat whilst I spill about my guilty lowbrow pleasures.
Food: Much as it shames me to admit it, my childhood reaches forward into my present, and I occasionally crave a bologna and cheese sandwich on Wonder bread dressed with mustard and mayo and dill pickle chips.
Movies: I will watch Evolution over and over again, and laugh my ass off the whole time. “Ca- caw?”
Television: If sick at home, I will watch E! True Hollywood Stories. I loved the one about Jane Russell.
Music: Cyndi Lauper. I am so ashamed.
Books: I will read David Eddings (The Elenium, The Tamulii, The Belgariad, The Mallorean) over and over again.
Some of Mel Brooks’s stuff, although his lowest-brow stuff doesn’t usually do it for me.
Spinal Tap is pretty low-brow, or at least the songs usually are, and for the last few days I’ve been thinking of their song “Heavy Duty” and laughing. The chorus goes “Heavy, duty
Heavy duty rock and roll
Heavy duty
Brings out the duty in my soul.”
Marley
I dunno if Spinal Tap truly counts as low brow, as it’s satire; perhaps it counts as one brow raised? Or, both brows raised, head cocked, and a wink? What’s the origin of the term “lowbrow”, anyway? Inquiring brows want to know…
It changes from moment to moment. Some parts of Tap are detailed satires of sixties and seventies rock music (ditto A Mighty Wind and folk music of the same period), and other bits are funny without any explanation. And “the duty in my soul” doesn’t need any explanation.
Miami Ink.
(I feel so dirty…)
The boxing scene in Bad Santa never fails to crack me up.
looks around
I’m a <i>Blind Date</i> addict. It’s like watching trainwreck after trainwreck in slow motion
Heck, I’ll expand on that. I’m a reality-TV show addict. I used to be a <i>Real World</i> junkie up until San Diego, but I stopped watching because it’s now parodying itself. But yeah, give me <i>Fear Factor</i>, any of the reality shows on Discover and A&E, and a pinch of TLC, and I’m a happy woman.
I also love makeover shows. Sometimes I wonder if I should just leave HGTV on 24/7.
For readiong, nothing beats a <i>Weekly World News</i>!
I’ll see your The Nanny and raise you The Turkish Version Of The Nanny.
They show it on SBS here, and it’s actually surprisingly watchable (in the same way Ed Wood movies are surprisingly watchable in that MST3K kind of way). The fact that the woman playing The Nanny is actually pretty good looking doesn’t hurt, either.
I’ll also confess to being a closet Jerry Springer fan, and anyone who gets between me and a Badly Dubbed Hong Kong Action Movie is going to be very sorry, too…
American Hot Rod (though practically everyone involved is an asshole, except for the great guys who do the upholstery…they’re why I watch the show).
Overhaulin’ (I especially love this one, because nice people fix up cars/trucks up for other nice people)
Anything having to do with Forensics (I watched such shows years before CSI).
Hey now, Cyndi’s AMAZING. You have no call to be ashamed. She had a couple of novelty hits but there’s a lot more to her than “She Bop” and “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.”
And Groundhog Day and Big Trouble in Little China are NOT low-brow. Especially GD. It’s actually very very smart.
Maury Povich
Yep. One of the world’s best voices, IMHO.
ellele, I love the Price is Right too. It’s nice to see happy people win things playing easy games! I also have the childhood memories thing going on.
