Keith Houchen Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Had to get the tram today and there was a total boombaclart on there. Cunt sat there with big sunglasses, a fucking Dapper Laughs I'm sorry jumper, and some checked trousers. Worst of all was he was on his phone but speaking like he was on The Apprentice, then raising the phone to his ear to hear what the other person was saying, then holding it in front of his stupid twatty face when speaking back to them, then putting it back to his ear. I hope he has a shit and realises too late that there is no bogroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted June 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2021 Articles that are formatted like fake Q and As What are they then when their at home? They're annoying little articles that attempt to explain something new to , like an iPod or something written as if it's conversation between two people, one asking dippit questions and the other dryly responding. Oh, that's sounds great actually, why do they piss you off, are you a miserable cunt? No, but the format is very tired, I find it difficult to believe that anyone likes writing or reading them. You certainly seem like you're struggling. Well yes, quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then tells you a really uninteresting fact that nobody would ever care about or know. See Garth Crooks’s Team of the Week. Just to add. “Is it just me” or “I can’t be the only one” kind of bullshit that starts something that loads of people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one I read in the Guardian earlier that set me off actually, about a new study about humans potentially living to be 150. I felt at least 125 after reading it.

RedRooster Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 This one is a little hard to explain, but stick with me. When video games - usually older ones - are only part voice acted, I find that really irritating. For example, when written dialogue is preceded by a few words that are voice acted (usually the same word/words, like "that's right"), or a grunt. This clip from Radiant Historia probably explains it better than I'm doing - one fully voice acted character, and another that is not: I'm playing this game right now, and it's really taking me out of the (actually quite excellent) story.

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted June 10, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2021 'Comedy' voiceovers on TV shows. Made popular by the Come Dine with Me bloke (probably the only decent example of this), this trope is so fucking overused now. I just popped to my Nan's and shes watching Bargain-Loving Brits In The Sun (no, me neither). Basically a series following expat Brits living in Spain. Which sounds bad enough, but after every fucking line him out of Cold Feet jumps in with an 'hilarious' quip or one-liner to take the piss out of the old girls who are likely just doing whatever the producers told them. I only watched 10 minutes of it and I wanted to throttle him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) a minor annoyance of mine which i got reminded of this morning... people shortening band names or to a single word. The annoyance this morning was listening to the S'appening podcast which had Colin Doran from Hundred Reasons on as a guest. The host of the podcast referred to the band as 'Reasons, which really fucking annoyed me. There's thousands of them though and it annoys me every single time. Few examples. System of a Down - System Bullet for My Valentine - Bullet While She Sleeps - Sleeps (that one really grates) My Chemical Romace - My Chem and on and on 😡 Edited June 11, 2021 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
