Over-rated

finchy

I present to you a list of things that are meant to be great, but are in fact a steaming pile of cockroach excrement:

The Die Hard films: for alleged action movies, really dull
Two Ronnies fork 'andles sketch - not funny in the slightest
Pink Panther A Shot in the Dark - not worthy of it's place amongst the other PPs
Billy Connolly/French and Saunders/Lenny Henry/Fry and Laurie and all those other 80s comedians - don't make me laugh. Oh, you didn't.
Steak - has a more boring meal ever been so utterly hyped? And yes, I've tasted organic, free-range, cooked in a top restaurant steak, it was still rubbish.
Roast dinner - seeing as we're British, let's have roast dinner every Sunday for the rest of our lives, and then what shall we have for Christmas - I know, what about a roast dinner, but make it special by making it slightly bigger.
The Stranglers - only kidding, nicensleazy
Wine - I can't quite decide whether it tastes of vinegar or piss
Beer - the number of people who have told me they didn't like it at first, but then forced themselves to drink it until they got used to it - why?!?!
Suit and tie - Hmmm, what shall I wear? I know, something uncomfortable and impractical.

I feel better now.

I find the first reply to a post is usually over rater. Or the second depending on how quick a typist one is

"Billy Connolly/French and Saunders/Lenny Henry/Fry and Laurie and all those other 80s comedians - don't make me laugh."
- I agree, all totally crap middle of the road unfunny rubbish, and who were those pair of tits that did that 'the management' thing?

Thanks, Fru T Bunn, you've just reminded me of another one -

Viz - used to be good, now just does the same jokes over and over again. Although Mr Logic always makes me laugh.

Was it Hale and Pace?

Billy unfunny Conolly always starts laughing halfway through his funny stories so you realise they're funny, cos otherwise you wouldnt have a clue, cos they aren't.

That's the b*stards!

There's plenty of new ones that arent funny too, Little Britain is 90% crap, Katy Brand and her Big Ass Show ...and that Catherine Tate as well.... all trying to be funny but not.

Steak, Wine and Beer though can all be crap OR fantastic I reckon.

(In reference to die hard 2) you know a sequal is very bad when they have the line "how can the same sh!t happen to the same guy twice?".

i agree with most...although a cask ale beer is very nice....but not if you're having a few beers...one slips down well before going home for a meal.

all the other stuff is over rated (except Stranglers who were really very good)

Stranglers definitely very good.

Obviously my list is highly subjective, and if someone really likes the beer then great, go for it. I just can't understand why people would "train" themselves to like something. :?

Maybe I'm just weird.

Energy food.

Tasteless indigestable shite. It's why sausage sandwiches were invented.

Team car catches you up on a suicide breakaway, your DS hangs out the window "red or brown sauce Joe? there you go lad, you got 10 minutes on 'em no one is chasing ya".

Stuff of dreams, or mine anyway 8)

Quick edit to avoid going too far OT as usual :oops: I agree with John on steak, billy connolly and roast dinner particularly.

Oh crap. How bad do I feel now.

I agree with all of them apart from Peep Show. Oh and The Office was brilliant, but now I realise that Gervais wasn't acting in that show. HE IS DAVID BRENT. And this is what he plays in everything else he's ever done.

I feel sorry for Stephen Merchant. I suspect he wrote most of The Office - but his career hasn't risen like one dimensional Gervais has :roll:

Pross

U2 - spot on there, I thought it was just me! Add to that Bono himself with his sanctimonious crap telling everyone how to overcome poverty while flying around the world in his private jet and picking Lance up to fly him to a party. Hypocrite or what? At least Bob Geldof looks like he might know what poverty is! :evil:

U2 once rocked up on the beach at Sellafield to stand on some drums and tell us all to close our one local employer. Bonio was apparantly quite crestfallen that the locals didn't agree with his analysis that it was like bad and stuff.

My dad's claim to fame is that he told Bono to piss off.

I have to disagree on roast dinners..... although I have to admit I prefer a good stew

I've now decided that Wispa's are overrated
U2 used to be good
Coldplay are monotonous
Snow Patrol are Coldplay
Most current "chart" music is regurgitated poop of the highest order..... take note Mr Cowell!!!

Pross

Wispas over-rated :shock: burn him!!! Only problem with Wispas is their lack of size

guilliano

Sorry, I did like Wispas but I've now gone back to Aeros..... just nicer and bubblier

Cressers

Any coffee shop that charges more than £1.50 for a hot drink and doesn't put the sugar in for you.

Speaking of which, Little Britain is over-rated - used to be good when they had plenty of silly characters (rubbish hypnotist Kenny Craig as above, equally hopeless inventor Matthew Waterhouse, the barmy Scottish hotelier, Sir Bernard Chumley, etc.) but rapidly sliding downhill now that they mostly trade on sketches with shock value.
