Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[JonFromMaplewood]

They couldn't hire the guy(s) who did his voice for all the direct-to-video Aladdin sequels?

I think that guy's name is Gilbert Gottfried.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Huh. I thought Gottfried had bailed after the first one.

What else did he have going on in the mid-90's?

USA UP All Night? With the B-movies. I remember my puberty raddled brain spending all night watching hoping for one slight booby shot.

New addition, although he's most likely on this list already... Rush Limbaugh.

This, like most of the problems with the coverage shows the failure to understand how we here in Japan live our day to day lives. Recycling is the same as drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. It's part of how you live your day to day life--as I'm sure it is for the FOTs. One of the first things you learn when you come to Japan is the burnable garbage days and non-burnable garbage days. The people up in Tohoku are trying to live their day to day lives...

...and this twit mocks them for it.

And you know damn well these kinds of jokes would not be made if all this were happening in New Zealand or Australia.

Can anyone just watch a show anymore?

[Pregnant Pause]

Xfinity/Comcast commercials.

Both the one where the dudes arms are moving really fast and his body remains still.  And the one with the jingle highlighting the advantage of having enough channels that you can now watch TV to the point of needing an intervention.

Oh god yes! The part of the song where he goes up in range is just unbearable. I also hate when they fudge "trick" shots. Ones that look like Michel Gondry would do for a Coldplay music video or something and all they use is a crappy green screen.

[Pidgeon]

I don't know why, but David Mitchell's face makes me so angry.
