Overrated
 
My Carlos Mencia thread inspired me to do this:

The List of Overrated!

I'll go first:

José Canseco - Cheese-eatin-Rat-Bastard. Once he does his own dirt and gets out of the game he decides to cash in on the fact that he can still rat out everyone else still in it.

Lindsey Lohan - I think she's a talentless, souless Ginger and when I heard she wanted a nightclub to pay her $1,000,000 for the privilege of hosting her birthday party I began getting angry and turning green.

Kanye West - Five rappers he'll never come close to in talent? Biggie, Tupac, Jay-Z, Nas, 50 Cent. You're not that good STFU and stop complaining.

piercehawkeye45 08-21-2007 09:45 AM

Kanye has done some good producing though (if I'm thinking right), I'll give him that. Other rap artist to add are Common and Talib Kweli.

300 - It had cool action scenes but c'mon.

Family Guy - No where compares to South Park or Simpsons.

Cheeseburgers - Never got into them.

Undertoad 08-21-2007 10:16 AM

Elton John - His musical peak was 32 years ago. Hasn't put out a decent record since the early eighties. All the good songs, we've heard 1000 times and don't need to hear any more. Currently best-known for being a dead princess's former good friend.

iPhone - is on a lot of overrated lists already. We already knew it was locked to AT&T (suck), overpriced, and had too little storage to make a decent media player. But now they say it takes twice as long to enter a text message on this than on chiclet-style QUERTY phones, and owners wish they had a stylus for better precision than a fat finger. It'll get better... mmmmaybe.

elSicomoro 08-21-2007 10:39 AM

Undertoad: The fucker runs a message board that about 50 people give a rat's ass about...and he thinks he can play music...what a dick.

Sycamore: That stupid cocksucker...he still thinks he has a music career in his future, even though the only instrument he is proficient at is the one-stringed bass. And he runs a message board that about 3 people give a rat's ass about...he's even more of a dick than that fucking Undertoad.

Shawnee123 08-21-2007 10:47 AM

Declaring open flame season on myself.
 
Lord of the Rings and/or Harry Potter: all looks the same to me. There, I said it, it needed to be said. Flame away. :)

David and Victoria Beckham: Really, who gives a shit about someone who plays soccer (and thinks we care in the U.S.) and his pouty-ass wife?

Adam Sandler: he's not funny unless you're a pubescent boy.



:bolt:

Undertoad 08-21-2007 11:01 AM

Naw Syc I think we are correctly rated... you've written pretty much what the people think of us

Spexxvet 08-21-2007 11:05 AM

Bruce Springsteen - How many ways can you whine about being poor in the city? And get a voice, dude!

Donavan McNab - Receivers don't catch the football with their ankles. Last year, Garcia showed you how to pass the fucking pigskin, asshole.

ooh ooh

Old Time Rock -n- Roll by Bob Segar as a wedding reception song

I love this thread already.

Terrell Owens

Quote:

T.O. a quake waiting to happen
Seismologists spend their careers examining activity in various corners of the globe in order to try and predict when the next temblor will take place.

I have no training in that area, but I have detected the possibility of upcoming seismic activity, and I didn’t have to use any high-tech instruments. I simply perused the 2007 schedule of the Dallas Cowboys.

There is a fault line running through that franchise. Its name is Terrell Owens.

The Cowboys open at home against the New York Giants. They’ll win that one, and everybody in Cowboyland will be happy. The following week they travel to Miami, and they’ll likely win there, too.

But then they go to Chicago. (Did you feel that? The ground shook.) The Cowboys will lose, and T.O. will express his disappointment about not getting more passes thrown to him.

In Week 6, the Cowboys host New England. The Patriots will romp, and Randy Moss will score a couple of touchdowns. Whoa! (A violent tremor just took place. The epicenter is at T.O.’s locker.)

At the bye week, the Cowboys will probably be an uninspired 4-3. Their next two games are on the road, at division rivals Philadelphia and the Giants, respectively. They’ll lose both of those. (The Red Cross offers its help after this latest T.O.-related calamity).

The full brunt of T.O.’s force will be felt at roughly the halfway point, which means owner Jerry Jones and new head coach Wade Phillips will have the rest of the season to deal with the devastation.

Poor Dallas. It used to be such a safe place to live.

DanaC 08-21-2007 11:21 AM

At the moment? Manchester United...get a fucking goal already!

jester 08-21-2007 11:41 AM

Most Celebrities I don't care what kind of house they live in, where they were seen last, whose screwing who, etc.

Reality Shows I admit, I have watched maybe 2 or 3 different ones, but for the most part, it's gettin old.

Clodfobble 08-21-2007 12:14 PM

I'm with Shawnee on Harry Potter - They're children's books. And don't give me that bullshit about how they don't read like children's books, because I've read some, and they do--which they should, because they are.

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Yes, he could play guitar. No, he couldn't sing. No, I do not need to hear his crap for the brazilianth time.

Spongebob Squarepants - I mean, car floor mats? Really?

The Written Word -- Come on, do we really need all these fucking books? And don't get me started on the Internet.

Existence -- Well come on, would you really mind if you didn't have it?

Reproduction -- it never caused anything but trouble. That stupid primoridial organic soup should have minded its own business.

Western Civilization -- like Ghandi said, "I think it would be a wonderful idea."

Shawnee123 08-21-2007 03:16 PM

People: In the end, they all suck, really.

DanaC 08-21-2007 03:19 PM

I have never read a Harry Potter book. I'll be honest I have no qualms reading a children's book, particularly if it's one Loved as a child...I just never fancied them that much. I keep thinking i'll read them, but really just so as I can borrow books off our Sophie ('s great when you get old enough to take part in the family book exchanges).

elSicomoro 08-21-2007 03:21 PM

Shawnee: What a bucket of fresh air...fresh air stained with fish guts and dead babies! Who needs her God-forsaken negativity?

SteveDallas: Wow...what a fucking nerd! Yep...we don't need any more like him. And he likes classical music...what a fag!

elSicomoro 08-21-2007 03:25 PM

Rexmons: Starting a fucking thread about shit that's overrated...oh yeah! Great fucking idea there, buddy!

Griff: "Oooo! Look at me! I'm gonna change the world! Peace man!" Yeah...my nuts! Eat it, goat herder!

Jim: Wow...do I really need to even say much about this one? Jim...cock indeed!

Actually, I hate it.

I just feel obligated to spend lots of time playing it and listening to it, even though I'd prefer other music, because it validates my cultural identity as a WASP male.

Cloud 08-21-2007 06:29 PM

intercourse--it's not the be all and end all of sex, contrary to many people's (read--men's) thinking.

I know where you hide your Judas Priest "Stained Class" CD.

The Academy Awards


Brokeback Mountain-----The gay-ist movie I ever saw.

I just rented it thinking it couldn't possibly be as gay as I imagine but it was worse. THE most boring movie won 'best director' award but I think it probably was those Wyoming mountains giving him props. If people were mysty eyed upon leaving the theaters it was surly because it was so damn painful to sit in one place for so long.

Crash ---The most cliche` movie I ever saw as if stating stereotypes so outwardly in our politically correct society was somehow worthy of an academy award. Now I see this movie won by default.

Landlords that pretend to be your friends in the end they just want you to shut the hell up and pay your rent.
Camera megapixels For the love of Jesus people quit spending hundreds of dollars more than you should on a piece of shit camera just because it has a ton of megapixels.. That does not mean you're suddenly a pro photographer and all your pictures will be a millions bagillion times better. There is a lot more to digital camera image quality, and if you're willing to listen and do your homework you'll be much more satisfied in the end.
Mad TV/Scary Movie it's lame humor and isn't worth the film it was shot on, nuff said

The same for employers when you're having a medical emergency with a family member and can't come to work don't assume you have a support system with them. Just get the damn doctors note and fricken cry to your pillow.

umm question Bullit: What camera would you suggest???? I need a cheap one between $100 and $300. dollars.

thread drift
very overrated

Rexmons 08-22-2007 12:00 PM

Beavis & Butthead - I don't think I need an explanation for this one.

First, what kind of camera are you looking for? Small sleek and able to fit in a front or back jeans pocket? A little larger but with a better zoom (digital zoom doesn't count just fyi, ignore that whenever you see it)? Lots of features or minimalist? Send you a PM instead so as to avoid thread drift?

There's Something About Mary - there's something alright--something overrated! People who love it have told me you need to watch it when you're stoned. I'm sorry, but just about any movie is better when you're stoned.

Cheesecake Factory - why on earth do people line up and wait an hour to eat here, when they can just go to the Bennigan's or Applebee's on the other side of the mall. The food tastes exactly the same, and you don't have to carry around a silly beeper before you eat it.

It sucks just as badly when you're stoned. :3eye:

Football (the American version) - Sorry guys.

Brand new houses
- Where's the fucking character?

Dogs
- I appreciate pets and all. I have had a dog before and they can be great (as pets), but come on! Does a dog really *need* its own website?

Skysidhe: I bought this Canon and am very happy with it. I was impressed with its ability to capture clear photos with accurate color. Also, you can adjust pretty much everything manually.

smurfalicious 08-24-2007 01:51 PM

wine don't get me wrong - i lurve the wine and i drink plenty of it and there's good, bad, and in between. but the whole swish-it-around and breathing and whatnot is all a bunch of hoity toity crap. really, it's all just a bunch of rotten grapes.

Kennedy Space Center i've wanted to see it my whole life. what a disappointment. the 'astronaut experience' was lame - riding the hov-around in the grocery store was more exciting.

South Beach i guess it would be cool if i was more into cocaine and herpes

home ownership now *i* have to pay for the shit that breaks
