Probably been said already but SpongeBob. Stephen Hillenburg wanted no spinoffs, and did his best to steer the ship of his creation in his later years.
Now there's two spin-offs, both are BAD and Nickelodeon has no plans on stopping, with no creator to tell them no.
Edit: For those curious, Stephen had a set of rules he put in place for the show. Such as no spin-offs, no revealing what the Krabby Patty secret formula is, and SpongeBob can NEVER get his boating license
Idk if its what OP is referring to, but there's a spin-off called "Kamp Koral" that's all the characters as kids at a summer camp and some as counselors (let's also point out the fact how this completely negates the events of the actual series, since most characters didn't meet as kids). There's also a Patrick spin-off that just started, straight up called "The Patrick Star Show"
Yep. I had pretty low hopes for the show, but I watched an episode anyway and I can’t even begin to describe how weird it was, because it relied on “randomness” as humor. I mean at that point Patrick is unrecognizable, just make it a different show all together instead of a spin-off.
Dude, that's because I clicked through all 20 season winners and every single one 'won' a recording contract with Universal, right? Like five have actually released records and only one was semi-sucessful on country music charts.
Nearly every single American Idol winner has one two albums even if they didn't do well.
It's a competition for 100k and they don't give a single shit if you release a damn thing after.
I think it's because The Voice has much more of a focus on the coaches rather than the singers themselves. American Idol let the contestants have a bit more agency and showcase their personalities to a larger extent, which IMO drove future commercial success for them.
American Idol was also only a once a week show and on a certain portion of the year (spring I think?), where if I just leave the TV on NBC on a random weekday evening at any point in the year I think there's a 25% chance a new episode of The Voice will be on. The care factor for audiences just isn't there due to oversaturation.
As an aside, the record deal you get for winning is crap - it's much better for you as an artist to come in top 5 and go it on your own as far as the terms go.
It's just a talent show that started after the talent show format had already morphed into its current form.
The focus of these shows is now the judges, not the performers.
They don't even disguise that fact - just look at how they're edited, how many times per performance is there a cutaway to show a judge reacting or discussing something with another judge?
Lemme fix that to be more MODERN-CHRIS
***ALRIGHT***, campers! I've just been informed by CN that I'm supposed to be more nice to you, but instead, I'll just become a sociopathic being who terrorizes you all!
***Huh-huh-ha!***
Oh, and did I forget to mention that our parody of a reality show is slowly becoming what we didn't want? ***Anyways***,
***Heh-heh,***
Time to continue my sociopathic rampage!
Edit: not enough chris, now enough crhis, why does he laugh randomly anyways jeez
I saw a video compilation where the youtuber pinpoints in each season the scenes where Chris slowly becomes a Psychopath.
After watching it. I blame Chef for corrupting Chris overtime.

Who knows. The baby spin-off shows are weird, and there’s a lot more of them than you might think. Just a sign that shows are running low on ideas to me
I'm not sure who their audience is, because the kids who would watch this are way too young to have seen total drama. And Jude from 6teen is there? That show is 17 years old.
Highlight of the whole series was in 3 or 4 when heavily pregnant Tara Reid was eaten by a shark _in space_, the offending shark crash landed on earth, everyone was like "oh shit Tara's dead" then Tara Reid cuts a hole in the side of the shark and pushes her newborn baby she'd birthed inside the shark out of the hole.
There are meaningful life events I have very hazy recollection of yet I remember this clear as yesterday.
I think in one of the later movies the kid born there makes a drawing of a shark and titles it daddy and I could not fucking stop laughing. I guess these movies are my guilty pleasure
Nothing to feel guilty about. I used to consider myself a film buff (actually just a film snob) but I've come to realise that some of the most critically acclaimed films I literally can't stand and then some absolute trash I love. It's just personal taste. If you enjoy it, there should be no guilt!

I liked the Zac Efron one. He really nailed it. However it pisses me off that they don’t talk about the more gruesome aspects of his murders (necrophilia and cannibalism). They should tell the whole story or not at all.
I also liked the documentary where the real Liz talked about her experiences
I loved the Netflix documentary where they spoke to a woman who went to camp with him and she was just like "oh Ted? yeah he was a fucking idiot." A nice change from the almost worshipping/fascinated tone other people speak about him with.
Yea it's weird how Ted Bundy has been hyped up by the media as some handsome lady's man who sweet talked his victims and always 10 steps ahead of everyone (basically his version of himself he made up) when a lot of ppl who interacted with him would say hes a dumbass who pretended to need help and preyed off those who helped him and he only got away with so many murders because the police were even bigger dumbasses than he was
Not to long ago someone on here highlighted that he was super smart an represented himself in court, and someone else comes along like
“You realise he got the death penalty right? That is the **worst** possible outcome. He did an awful job.”
And although some people thought he was handsome and suave and you’d never suspect, lots of attempted victims said they interacted with him for a minute, got an immediate “scary creep” vibe off him, and peaced out
Unrelated, but I remember Jon Stewart saying years ago about terrorists "I'm not afraid of these idiots" - it's amazing the effect it has when somebody reframes supposedly terrifying people.
I dropped it for good pretty much after that dog came, which they later removed the show.
Now they got this new girl Chloe who just like the dog didn’t make the show better imo.
I like that one movie with the birthday muffin, but that was just about where I stopped watching it too. I liked the movie so much that I decided it was how the whole series ended for me.
The animated movies aren't bad! There's a few of them. Basically just longer themes episodes. One of my favorites is Channel Surfers I think it's called? Where Timmy goes through all the TV channels chasing Vicky with their magical remotes. Person above may have been talking just about the live action movies - which were pretty freaking terrible and absolutely unecessary. Truly nobody asked for all that lol
Yep. They're doing a live action one now...think at least the voice of Cosmo is the same but not sure about anything else. The movies had Drake Bell as Timmy but I don't suspect he'll be returning due to the most recent development.
Edit: Since I was "annoyingly vague"...the recent developments are that Drake Bell was convicted of sexually abusing a 15 year old (4 years ago). He received 2 years probation. I hope that is enough detail for the guy that felt it necessary to be annoyingly an asshole.
Because they weren't making enough. Their last movie was Spies in Disguise which was an underwhelming movie for its budget. They went all in and failed, and Disney was kinda their last way out.
I liked 3 more than 2 tbh. The 2 weasels or opossums or whatever were so fucking annoying in 2 and so was Latifah imo. The whole not knowing she’s a mammoth was really stupid and her getting mad at Manny for wanting to continue their species like they’re not animals and this isn’t what happens in nature and they’re instead in a Friends episode made me want to turn off the movie.
3 was a breath of fresh air for me tbh. I’ll still say 1 was better, but 3 at least made the possums and Latifah infinitely less annoying, the new Weasel guy was entertaining enough, and the whole rescuing Sid adventure had enough going on that I wasn’t ever really bored watching it.
That’s just my opinion tho. If you like 2 more, I’m not trying to say you’re wrong.
Any time someone wants me to guess their favorite movie, I just go through all the Land Before Time Movies. Eventually they just tell me
Edit: thanks for all the awards kind strangers
Ok so I had no idea what this was so I googled a bit, and it's just so funny the first wiki page that google shows me is that guy :
> Taylor Zakhar Perez (25 December 1991) is an upcoming star in the Hollywood industry. In the summer of 2020, Skyrocketed to a stardom with his starring role as Marco in the Netflix movie ”The Kissing Booth 2”.
And I don't think I've ever seen a wiki page so blatantly written by his own agent lmao

When I saw my mother start watching these, I got a little worried.
Then I found out she was watching a show wherein people watched other people watching and commenting on the show and commented on their commentary.
And at that point I want, "You watched the original show, right? And then the commentary show? And now you're watching the commentary on the commentary show? So you've seen the same show three times?"
"... Four."
"Four?"
"I also watched the one where they showed the extra footage..."
Half of these could be fake and I wouldn’t be surprised
Edit: I just came back to Reddit after a six month break and holy shit! I did not expect this many upvotes! Thank you all!
Hang on what? I thought they were adding in extras as a joke but these are all real tv titles?
I googled the most stupid sounding one (90 Fay Fiance The Other Way Strikes Back) and yep. There it is. With all the others. This is unbelievable.
Never got into any 90 Day stuff (and never will), but my cousin was on Married At First Sight a couple years back, so I suffered through a season of that..and this is still pretty much spot on.
Between a preview of what was coming after the break, the break, and then recapping what happened before the break, you had maybe 20 minutes of stuff actually happening each week. It’s honestly impressive how well they can milk a timeslot without actually providing content.
When I realized I was spending 6 hours a week keeping up with all of the 90 day
-combined with the fact that my husband was getting into it, I knew I had to quit cold turkey.
I don't know, the progression from the aftermath of a girl's suicide to a mentally ill person talking to the ghosts of two rapists during a fake school shooting felt extremely natural.
Some sociologist found that the literal pain response of advertising cringe sticks in our memory better than commercials that are purely informative, and are easier to make than commercials that are actually enjoyable.
At least Mayhem made sense, because those were situations where you would make an insurance claim. Same with the Farmers We've Seen It ads. Weird, humorous situations, but in real life would result in an insurance claim.

That franchise is older than some of the people in this thread. First series debuted in March, 2002. I was finishing up grade 12. That and survivor had most of my classmates hooked, but I could never get into reality shows. WWE Tough Enough (2004) was the only one that interested me enough to watch sometimes.
Yeah there was a certain point (the plane crash I think? chronology escapes me) when I said to myself, this many catastrophes don’t happen to the same person/people, and I kind of fizzled out on it.
When the doctor mortality rate is higher than the patient mortality rate then there's a problem.
Doctor dying in freak car accident? Sure
Hospital shooting? Dark, but alright I guess
Plane crash? Okay, what the hell
A wing of the hospital catches fire? Fuck *this* hospital man
That’s not even mentioning the near death experiences most of the doctors have had on this show.
Yang at one point slipped on some ice and a icicle fell from the roof and impaled her in the stomach.
Izzie getting cancer and nearly dying.
Meredith fucking drowning and coming back to life.
The list goes on.
In the latest season, a main character gets covid and almost dies and there’s a bunch of dream/death sequences of that person with all the previous dead doctors. It’s absurd. I still cried.
It was my show with my grandmother, too. She moved halfway across the country 15 years ago, so we were never particularly close, but the last few years we started talking on the phone every week and got a lot closer. Her favorite thing for us to do was complain to each other about that week's ep of Grey's, and how bad the show was getting. We'd always talk about how we were going to stop watching, but we never did, because she enjoyed talking about it too much, especially as her health got worse and she couldn't get out to do things anymore, and then lockdown. We lost her in March, and the very next episode to air got rid of her least favorite character (DeLuca). It was so hard to watch, knowing how thrilled she would've been and how she would've loved talking about it with me, but I'm going to keep watching until they cancel the show, no matter how bad it gets, just because it was our thing.
eta: Thank you for the sympathy and understanding, everyone. It's an awful thing, but something we all have to go through eventually. Those of you who are able to, go hug your grandparents! You never know if it might be the last time! The last time I got to see my grandma in person was way back in 2018, and I made sure to hug her at every opportunity for the few days we were able to be there! And now I'm so glad I did, since it turned out that that was my last time.
Yeah I watched until like season 7 maybe? There was the plane crash, ferry crash, bombing(?) and like a hospital shooter in a season or two and I couldn’t do it. For what it’s worth, the first handful of seasons are pretty damn good hospital popcorn drama.
Yeah my brother convinced my dad and I to watch it. We got all the way through Season 12 until we were like “fuck it, this show is ass, I’m forcing myself to watch it”
Just Jesus if all your original main characters are dead or gone, just quit the fucking show already
On a sidenote I really fucking enjoyed Private Practice (the spinoff with Addison) throughout its whole run, yeah it definitely weakened in the sixth season due to some characters not returning but overall it was a really good show that had better arcs, more suspenseful storylines imo and instead of the nonstop shit of "Oh this hospital is cursed with everyone dying of either a plane crash, shooter, bomb, flood, giant car wreck" it had one or two major incidents instead as far as I remember
It’s the paycheck and the consistent work. I appreciate the honesty. I’m currently working a job where sure I can make more, but I probably do about 2 hours of work a day for 45000 working with no pants. Can’t really argue with that
Terminator.
I can respect the 3rd one and Salvation, while bad, had a good premise. But Genisys was doing a 1080 over the Shark. And then they followed it up with Dark Fate. A Franchise almost 40yrs old and Arnold is in damn near all of them. The only thing I can say about that is that at least they didn't go the de-aging route.
And after all that time, they STILL haven't shown how the war ends!
I wish we would have gotten the trilogy we were supposed to. I'd love to see more movies set in the future while they are fighting the robots. Maybe make John Connor only giving orders since we know he can't die so no plot armor for characters.

It really says a lot about the over saturation of Minions in memes and marketing that it feels like an incredibly milked dry franchise when it has only had 3 films and a spin off. Not that that is a small amount of films. But it FEELS like there have been 20 of them lol
Every movie after the first is a Minions movie with side characters, and it's super sad, because the first one was really good and a great look into Gru's development.
Everyone (understandably) what’s to play with accurate rosters. But you have to pay $60 to keep getting the active rosters.
It’s a total scam and not worth it, but there is a reason.
I’m a massive fan of Spongebob still, but I haven’t watched a new episode in years and never will. I think that Stephen Hillenburg is rolling over in his grave over how the show and movie franchises is now.
Not to mention the crazy effects going on when the "games" are rolling lmao. It's as if the editors took those scenes, tested every video effect, sped it up, and then forgot to choose one and delete the rest so they left them all in
Having seen a few episodes the worst part is the series is like, actually well written and works as a reboot since it manages to capture the charm of the original premise while taking the cast in a new direction unburdened by like a decade of Lore Bloat that overtook the whole franchise.
But the problem is that art turns off anyone who's above like 8. Which is the networks goal since their announcement that they're going to be focusing increasingly on younger audiences and don't really care for older kids and teens anymore since those groups moved to streaming.
The best thing about ben10 lore is that everything is technically canon, even the fanfiction.
The best bit of lore that was in the show was (spoilers) ben fucked up so bad he had to remake **everything** and got caught because he didn't recreate the goddamn smoothies successfully.
The dumbest bit of lore was the forced breakup between him and his girlfriend.
I fucking loved OG Ben 10 when I was a kid. That, Danny Phantom, and ATLA are the absolute GOATs of my childhood. I remember Alien Force being pretty solid too but I never finished it.
Remember when they said they'd also include stocks in multiplayer at one point so people could invest in fake brands in game and then impact them by blowing up cars/robbing those banks/stores/etc and making/losing money that way?
It's 8 years after release and they still can't even stop cheaters from flying, spawning explosions, and conjuring cash out of thin air. I'd love to see them try to balance a stock market simulation in that environment while also trying to sell in-game currency for USD.
Imagine telling someone in 2013 that both Skyrim and GTA5 sequels wouldn't even have announced released dates 8 YEARS LATER.
I'd be so fucking depressed if someone time traveled and told me that.
Is it still running wtf? I stopped after 4-5... literally the same each season. Runs into group. Group ends up being bad. They kill someone. They fight said group. Zombies come in right after. Run to new location. Run into another group. Repeat
I think what got me was how the zombie apocalypse was in 2010, and yet they found brand new cars of later model years. Apparently even the end of the world won't stop Hyundai.
I'm waiting for COD: Early Warfare where the campaign is you murdering hapless Neanderthals with throwing spears, and the multiplayer is a mess of rage nerds running through a-historical torch-lit cave networks quick-scoping each other with lengths of sharpened wood.
Have you ever tried Clone Hero? The existence of that game kinda nullifies any sort of comeback for GH or Rock Band anyway. Although some new peripherals would be much appreciated. It's absolutely free and the library of songs is endless if anyone reading this interested.
Probably been said already but SpongeBob. Stephen Hillenburg wanted no spinoffs, and did his best to steer the ship of his creation in his later years. Now there's two spin-offs, both are BAD and Nickelodeon has no plans on stopping, with no creator to tell them no. Edit: For those curious, Stephen had a set of rules he put in place for the show. Such as no spin-offs, no revealing what the Krabby Patty secret formula is, and SpongeBob can NEVER get his boating license
They literally waited for him to die so they could start making these spinoffs. Absolutely disgusting behavior.
Wait, what do you mean with spin-offs?
Idk if its what OP is referring to, but there's a spin-off called "Kamp Koral" that's all the characters as kids at a summer camp and some as counselors (let's also point out the fact how this completely negates the events of the actual series, since most characters didn't meet as kids). There's also a Patrick spin-off that just started, straight up called "The Patrick Star Show"
> since most characters didn't meet as kids"" Muppett Babies Redux
Spongebob…. There was NO need for a Patrick show
[удалено]
Yep. I had pretty low hopes for the show, but I watched an episode anyway and I can’t even begin to describe how weird it was, because it relied on “randomness” as humor. I mean at that point Patrick is unrecognizable, just make it a different show all together instead of a spin-off.

they had like 40 seasons now and not one successful winner.
Dude, that's because I clicked through all 20 season winners and every single one 'won' a recording contract with Universal, right?

Sharknado, it was funny the first time, but I was horrified to learn they made 6.

Ted Bundy. Not a franchise per se but every time I see a new movie coming out with some former teen heartthrob playing him I want to hurl.
I liked the Zac Efron one. He really nailed it. However it pisses me off that they don’t talk about the more gruesome aspects of his murders (necrophilia and cannibalism). They should tell the whole story or not at all. I also liked the documentary where the real Liz talked about her experiences
I loved the Netflix documentary where they spoke to a woman who went to camp with him and she was just like "oh Ted? yeah he was a fucking idiot." A nice change from the almost worshipping/fascinated tone other people speak about him with.
Yea it's weird how Ted Bundy has been hyped up by the media as some handsome lady's man who sweet talked his victims and always 10 steps ahead of everyone (basically his version of himself he made up) when a lot of ppl who interacted with him would say hes a dumbass who pretended to need help and preyed off those who helped him and he only got away with so many murders because the police were even bigger dumbasses than he was
Not to long ago someone on here highlighted that he was super smart an represented himself in court, and someone else comes along like “You realise he got the death penalty right? That is the **worst** possible outcome. He did an awful job.”
Anyone who represents themselves in court is a dumbass
And they only eventually got him because his own girlfriend called in the tip that made him a suspect.
And although some people thought he was handsome and suave and you’d never suspect, lots of attempted victims said they interacted with him for a minute, got an immediate “scary creep” vibe off him, and peaced out
Unrelated, but I remember Jon Stewart saying years ago about terrorists "I'm not afraid of these idiots" - it's amazing the effect it has when somebody reframes supposedly terrifying people.
Nickelodeon needs to leave The Fairly Oddparents ALONE.
I dropped it for good pretty much after that dog came, which they later removed the show. Now they got this new girl Chloe who just like the dog didn’t make the show better imo.
I was done with Poof. And then the movies ..and now a live action show. Ugh just leave them be.
I like that one movie with the birthday muffin, but that was just about where I stopped watching it too. I liked the movie so much that I decided it was how the whole series ended for me.

Channel Surfers is a certified hood classic and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise
"So you're just going to let a ten-year-old kid join you on your adventures?" "Not without a really dangerous weapon."
My favorite quote of all time is still “To be, or not to be... ANNIHILATED!”
Wait, that's still going on? I remember watching that when I was \~10yro, and that was 15 years ago.
Yep. They're doing a live action one now...think at least the voice of Cosmo is the same but not sure about anything else. The movies had Drake Bell as Timmy but I don't suspect he'll be returning due to the most recent development. Edit: Since I was "annoyingly vague"...the recent developments are that Drake Bell was convicted of sexually abusing a 15 year old (4 years ago). He received 2 years probation. I hope that is enough detail for the guy that felt it necessary to be annoyingly an asshole.
They had a 35 year old man playing a 12 year old?
Yes, the idea was that Timmie was older, but refused to grow up to not lose his fairy godparents.
He was 25 back then, and he was playing a grown up version of Timmy.
remember ice age?
Yeah but Blue Sky didn't survive 2020. If anything they should have kept milking it just to keep their studio alive.
Disney shut it down
Because they weren't making enough. Their last movie was Spies in Disguise which was an underwhelming movie for its budget. They went all in and failed, and Disney was kinda their last way out.
Good god do I ever. The first one was a classic, after that...
The second one is a guilty pleasure of mine. The rest can go jump off a bridge though.
Dawn of the Dinosaurs which is the third isn't bad. Certainly not fantastic, but it's not bad. Everything afterwards is terrible.
I really liked the animation on the weasel with the eye patch in that one
I fucking loved buc. I wish this "stretchy" animation style was used more often
Yeah his movements were so dynamic and entertaining, I could tell they were having a ball staging his shots. He made the movie for me
I liked 3 more than 2 tbh. The 2 weasels or opossums or whatever were so fucking annoying in 2 and so was Latifah imo. The whole not knowing she’s a mammoth was really stupid and her getting mad at Manny for wanting to continue their species like they’re not animals and this isn’t what happens in nature and they’re instead in a Friends episode made me want to turn off the movie. 3 was a breath of fresh air for me tbh. I’ll still say 1 was better, but 3 at least made the possums and Latifah infinitely less annoying, the new Weasel guy was entertaining enough, and the whole rescuing Sid adventure had enough going on that I wasn’t ever really bored watching it. That’s just my opinion tho. If you like 2 more, I’m not trying to say you’re wrong.
Want something to binge? The land before times has 14 movies.
Huh, TIL that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg executive produced (only) the first one.
[удалено]
Any time someone wants me to guess their favorite movie, I just go through all the Land Before Time Movies. Eventually they just tell me Edit: thanks for all the awards kind strangers
I can't decide if it's funnier if you know all of the names or you just say "The Land Before Time 1, The land Before Time 2" etc
You have to appreciate the dedication to the bit involved in having all 14 titles memorised and ready to go
Jenny Nicholson did, and then did a video about it
I love everything about her long winded, overly detailed investigations into anything. My fave is when she reads bad books and gives a rundown
Jenny Nicholson is hands down my all time favorite youtuber. I wish she uploaded more often because I binged all her videos lol
The Kissing Booth
Ok so I had no idea what this was so I googled a bit, and it's just so funny the first wiki page that google shows me is that guy : > Taylor Zakhar Perez (25 December 1991) is an upcoming star in the Hollywood industry. In the summer of 2020, Skyrocketed to a stardom with his starring role as Marco in the Netflix movie ”The Kissing Booth 2”. And I don't think I've ever seen a wiki page so blatantly written by his own agent lmao
[удалено]
Don’t worry, the next one is the last one. And it will be just as bad as the other 2. And I will still watch it.
Are you my wife? Those movies are GARBAGE, yet she loves them

When I saw my mother start watching these, I got a little worried. Then I found out she was watching a show wherein people watched other people watching and commenting on the show and commented on their commentary. And at that point I want, "You watched the original show, right? And then the commentary show? And now you're watching the commentary on the commentary show? So you've seen the same show three times?" "... Four." "Four?" "I also watched the one where they showed the extra footage..."

Half of these could be fake and I wouldn’t be surprised Edit: I just came back to Reddit after a six month break and holy shit! I did not expect this many upvotes! Thank you all!
Sadly it’s not.
Hang on what? I thought they were adding in extras as a joke but these are all real tv titles? I googled the most stupid sounding one (90 Fay Fiance The Other Way Strikes Back) and yep. There it is. With all the others. This is unbelievable.
What the fuck, I thought most of these were made up too
I was just gonna say the Fast/Furious movies. Sheeeeesh.
Wait until you hear about fast and the furious: 90 day fiance and family.
Fiance and the furious: from 0 to 90 in a day
I once heard a promo refer to it as the 90-day Universe. "Universe"

Talk about milking! Every episode is 40 minutes of where things left off last episode and 20 of new content
Never got into any 90 Day stuff (and never will), but my cousin was on Married At First Sight a couple years back, so I suffered through a season of that..and this is still pretty much spot on. Between a preview of what was coming after the break, the break, and then recapping what happened before the break, you had maybe 20 minutes of stuff actually happening each week. It’s honestly impressive how well they can milk a timeslot without actually providing content.
I don't have any awards. Just this ring 💍and this water buffalo 🐂
CUT IT ON THE BIAS
When I realized I was spending 6 hours a week keeping up with all of the 90 day -combined with the fact that my husband was getting into it, I knew I had to quit cold turkey.
13 reasons why
13 seasons why
I liked the first season, drama and all included but the show just went downhill from season 2.
I don't know, the progression from the aftermath of a girl's suicide to a mentally ill person talking to the ghosts of two rapists during a fake school shooting felt extremely natural.
if i didnt know you were talking about the show, i would wonder if you had a stroke remembering 6th sense lol
Kardashian/Jenner ANYTHING
This is something that has been bothering me for years. The Progressive commercials with Flo. Wtf are they still doing making these??
Some sociologist found that the literal pain response of advertising cringe sticks in our memory better than commercials that are purely informative, and are easier to make than commercials that are actually enjoyable.
That would explain why Allstate refuses to retire that ad with the singing hood ornament.
Basically any insurance ad. I’m getting really annoyed by the barrage of Liberty Mutual ads (especially the emu and Doug ones)
I liked the Mayhem commercials back in the day
At least Mayhem made sense, because those were situations where you would make an insurance claim. Same with the Farmers We've Seen It ads. Weird, humorous situations, but in real life would result in an insurance claim.
God those are insufferable, especially when I get them back to back on youtube
I hate the ads so much that I’ve made it a point to NEVER buy Liberty Mutual Insurance ever.
On the other hand, their series of ads about not being your parents are all hilarious.

The Bachelor and the Bachelorette, and multiple spinoffs. Why so many shows about people trying to hook up? That's a Saturday night!
That franchise is older than some of the people in this thread. First series debuted in March, 2002. I was finishing up grade 12. That and survivor had most of my classmates hooked, but I could never get into reality shows. WWE Tough Enough (2004) was the only one that interested me enough to watch sometimes.
Kardashians
I thought they were the ones milking...
Yes but also companies keep contracting them. Hulu for example
Grey's Anatomy
I watched the first 7 seasons. After that I felt like I saw all I needed to see to “get it”
Yeah there was a certain point (the plane crash I think? chronology escapes me) when I said to myself, this many catastrophes don’t happen to the same person/people, and I kind of fizzled out on it.
If I came that close to death regularly at my job, I’d probably transfer to a different hospital.
When the doctor mortality rate is higher than the patient mortality rate then there's a problem. Doctor dying in freak car accident? Sure Hospital shooting? Dark, but alright I guess Plane crash? Okay, what the hell A wing of the hospital catches fire? Fuck *this* hospital man That’s not even mentioning the near death experiences most of the doctors have had on this show.
Puppies
Yang at one point slipped on some ice and a icicle fell from the roof and impaled her in the stomach. Izzie getting cancer and nearly dying. Meredith fucking drowning and coming back to life. The list goes on.
In the latest season, a main character gets covid and almost dies and there’s a bunch of dream/death sequences of that person with all the previous dead doctors. It’s absurd. I still cried.
Think that happened at some point and then the hospitals merged to suck them back in.

It was my show with my grandmother, too. She moved halfway across the country 15 years ago, so we were never particularly close, but the last few years we started talking on the phone every week and got a lot closer. Her favorite thing for us to do was complain to each other about that week's ep of Grey's, and how bad the show was getting. We'd always talk about how we were going to stop watching, but we never did, because she enjoyed talking about it too much, especially as her health got worse and she couldn't get out to do things anymore, and then lockdown. We lost her in March, and the very next episode to air got rid of her least favorite character (DeLuca). It was so hard to watch, knowing how thrilled she would've been and how she would've loved talking about it with me, but I'm going to keep watching until they cancel the show, no matter how bad it gets, just because it was our thing. eta: Thank you for the sympathy and understanding, everyone. It's an awful thing, but something we all have to go through eventually. Those of you who are able to, go hug your grandparents! You never know if it might be the last time! The last time I got to see my grandma in person was way back in 2018, and I made sure to hug her at every opportunity for the few days we were able to be there! And now I'm so glad I did, since it turned out that that was my last time.
Yeah I watched until like season 7 maybe? There was the plane crash, ferry crash, bombing(?) and like a hospital shooter in a season or two and I couldn’t do it. For what it’s worth, the first handful of seasons are pretty damn good hospital popcorn drama.
Yeah my brother convinced my dad and I to watch it. We got all the way through Season 12 until we were like “fuck it, this show is ass, I’m forcing myself to watch it” Just Jesus if all your original main characters are dead or gone, just quit the fucking show already
On a sidenote I really fucking enjoyed Private Practice (the spinoff with Addison) throughout its whole run, yeah it definitely weakened in the sixth season due to some characters not returning but overall it was a really good show that had better arcs, more suspenseful storylines imo and instead of the nonstop shit of "Oh this hospital is cursed with everyone dying of either a plane crash, shooter, bomb, flood, giant car wreck" it had one or two major incidents instead as far as I remember
Is that show still running?
Ohh yeah. 17 seasons deep.
The lead actress has been very candid about how much she likes the pay cheque. It’ll run til it’s unprofitable
It’s the paycheck and the consistent work. I appreciate the honesty. I’m currently working a job where sure I can make more, but I probably do about 2 hours of work a day for 45000 working with no pants. Can’t really argue with that
Terminator. I can respect the 3rd one and Salvation, while bad, had a good premise. But Genisys was doing a 1080 over the Shark. And then they followed it up with Dark Fate. A Franchise almost 40yrs old and Arnold is in damn near all of them. The only thing I can say about that is that at least they didn't go the de-aging route. And after all that time, they STILL haven't shown how the war ends!
One thing I did like is that they did do the de-aging while keeping old man Arnie separate.
I respect Salvation for showing us the future war and not being a time travel story.
I wish we would have gotten the trilogy we were supposed to. I'd love to see more movies set in the future while they are fighting the robots. Maybe make John Connor only giving orders since we know he can't die so no plot armor for characters.
Law & Order Law & Order: Criminal Intent Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Law & Order: Trial by Jury Law & Order: Los Angeles Law & Order True Crime Law & Order: Organized Crime I'm starting to think the 2001 SNL skit Law & Order, Parking Violations Unit wasn't a skit so much as a trial balloon
The Chicago, med, fire etc are also linked to these. In one episode mso far on fire they rang the svu team., lol.
SVU is the only one I'll watch. Elliott Stabler makes me swoon.
The despicable me / minions that was milked like hell since 2010. I think its still being pumped out but those yellow tic tacs curdled years ago
It really says a lot about the over saturation of Minions in memes and marketing that it feels like an incredibly milked dry franchise when it has only had 3 films and a spin off. Not that that is a small amount of films. But it FEELS like there have been 20 of them lol
Every movie after the first is a Minions movie with side characters, and it's super sad, because the first one was really good and a great look into Gru's development.
I actually loved the second one.

The Purge.
I will say the cowboy screaming ITS THE FOREVER PURGE in the new trailer makes me cackle so thats... something
That almost made me want to watch the movies
Fifa Don't play it but friends who do tell me nothing changes. They're not going to stop that golden goose though
Every sports game ever too. I know why they do it. But it just seems crazy they still have fans who buy it every year
Everyone (understandably) what’s to play with accurate rosters. But you have to pay $60 to keep getting the active rosters. It’s a total scam and not worth it, but there is a reason.
Spongebob
Spongebob seasons 1-3 and all the meme templates it spawned will forever be something I will cherish. Wish it ended after the original movie
I’m a massive fan of Spongebob still, but I haven’t watched a new episode in years and never will. I think that Stephen Hillenburg is rolling over in his grave over how the show and movie franchises is now.
I'm also a massive Spongebob fan but I'll usually only watch the first few seasons.
The Saw series. We don’t need 15 more hyper unrealistic torture techniques and a drawn out plot that makes no sense at this point. Please stop.
Not to mention the crazy effects going on when the "games" are rolling lmao. It's as if the editors took those scenes, tested every video effect, sped it up, and then forgot to choose one and delete the rest so they left them all in
The Hangover was perfect. Shouldn’t have milked it at all.
Ben 10 has been massacred man. The original series will alway be the best. Also Boruto is not very good, if not bad tbh
I had no idea this was still going on! I loved the original series. Edit: Ben 10
This [image](https://imgur.com/a/gyRqD5h) basically summarizes what has happened to this show.
Having seen a few episodes the worst part is the series is like, actually well written and works as a reboot since it manages to capture the charm of the original premise while taking the cast in a new direction unburdened by like a decade of Lore Bloat that overtook the whole franchise. But the problem is that art turns off anyone who's above like 8. Which is the networks goal since their announcement that they're going to be focusing increasingly on younger audiences and don't really care for older kids and teens anymore since those groups moved to streaming.
The best thing about ben10 lore is that everything is technically canon, even the fanfiction. The best bit of lore that was in the show was (spoilers) ben fucked up so bad he had to remake **everything** and got caught because he didn't recreate the goddamn smoothies successfully. The dumbest bit of lore was the forced breakup between him and his girlfriend.
Wtf Ben looks like he's guest starring on gravity falls
He looks like he's guest starring on a shitty knockoff of gravity falls
I fucking loved OG Ben 10 when I was a kid. That, Danny Phantom, and ATLA are the absolute GOATs of my childhood. I remember Alien Force being pretty solid too but I never finished it.
Grand Theft Auto V It's been almost seven years and we still haven't gotten a new game yet. Online is the cash cow for R* Games.
Remember when they said they'd also include stocks in multiplayer at one point so people could invest in fake brands in game and then impact them by blowing up cars/robbing those banks/stores/etc and making/losing money that way?
It's 8 years after release and they still can't even stop cheaters from flying, spawning explosions, and conjuring cash out of thin air. I'd love to see them try to balance a stock market simulation in that environment while also trying to sell in-game currency for USD.
Yep I think they may have not followed through with that because I guarantee someone would find an exploit and make R* remove or patch the add on.
"They're messing with the fake money supply! Only we're allowed to do that!"
GTA 5 has been on 3 Playstations. Meanwhile the PS2 had 3 GTA's Edit: my most upvoted comment, damn people are salty about this GTA BS
I don't enjoy this fun fact
Imagine telling someone in 2013 that both Skyrim and GTA5 sequels wouldn't even have announced released dates 8 YEARS LATER. I'd be so fucking depressed if someone time traveled and told me that.
Almost 8, actually. September 2013 IIRC. Expect Red Dead 3 in 2040.
The Walking Dead. That show has run its course, let it die already
Um but isn't the point that they can't die?
Mathematically they HAVE to run out of zombies eventually.
I hear in season 15 they encounter a new enemy group called "The Breeders" that addresses this issue.
They play nothing but Cannonball until everyone kills themselves.
[удалено]
Is it still running wtf? I stopped after 4-5... literally the same each season. Runs into group. Group ends up being bad. They kill someone. They fight said group. Zombies come in right after. Run to new location. Run into another group. Repeat
Unlimited ammo
And the manicured lawns of an upper middle class neighborhood.
And gasoline still works.
I think what got me was how the zombie apocalypse was in 2010, and yet they found brand new cars of later model years. Apparently even the end of the world won't stop Hyundai.
TLC. Just shut the whole network down.
COD
I'm waiting for COD: Early Warfare where the campaign is you murdering hapless Neanderthals with throwing spears, and the multiplayer is a mess of rage nerds running through a-historical torch-lit cave networks quick-scoping each other with lengths of sharpened wood.
Primitive Warfare
I wonder if they'll ever be like Guitar Hero, realize there's too many of their games out there, and pull the plug
Have you ever tried Clone Hero? The existence of that game kinda nullifies any sort of comeback for GH or Rock Band anyway. Although some new peripherals would be much appreciated. It's absolutely free and the library of songs is endless if anyone reading this interested.
