Ren and Stimpy is high art.
No guilty pleasure there. Stimpy's Big Day is up there with Guernica.

-Hip-hop
-Guns N Roses
-Basketball
-Chili

Sweet, sweet fireworks.
Once a year, I get together will a bunch of my completely wacky law school pals, who are truly 8 years old at heart. There is a tradition of buying a bunch of balsa wood and styrofoam planes and spending copious amounts of time using various Indian-reservation-purchased illegal fireworks to rocket propel and destroy them in increasingly elaborate ways.
-
Even though I learned from former Best Show Patron Saint, Andrew WK, that there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure...
1. Andrew WK
2. The Carpenters
2. Dragonball Z
4. Supertroopers
5. TNBC shows (City Guys, Endurance, Trading Spaces: Boys Vs. Girls, etc)
Things listed so far that I dispute being guilty pleasures;
Hip-Hop
Guns'n'Roses
Basketball
Chili
Curb Your Enthusiasm
-
Andrew WK was on Aqua Teen Hunger Force last night.
-
Dr Phil, Jerry Springer, Montel, Ellen, Maury...
I have it go on record that the only time I watch TV is when I eat, it's an OCD thing... but since TV is almost entirely garbage in these days, I find myself watching shows such as the ones mentioned above and enjoying them.
I'll think of some other guilty pleasures later.

Men In Trees. 'nuff said.
