I hate when sitcoms go out of their way to create awkward or embarrassing situations. It makes me uncomfortable. I also don't like certain situations when they can't end an episode happily, like in Spongebob when Squidward was lying to his rival about owning a restaurant, and of course he has to be exposed at the end. It just feels like a slap in the face to the audience.

Cardboard characters. Characters who are essentially flawless, having nothing but redeeming attributes. Nobody is perfect in the real world.

Cartoons that portray bears as gentle, friendly animals but portray wolves as vicious killers. In reality, a bear would be much more likely to attack a person than a wolf would.

You might like this. A video that has a cartoon bear who eats people. It doesn't come in, though, until almost the end. Good music too, IMO.

Ah yes, Björk. Gotta love her. (Actually, I'm not a huge fan of her music, but I do find her to be a fascinating person.)

Several years ago I found out that she actually recorded an album in 1977 in her native Icelandic language when she was just eleven years old. You can download it here:

On a T.V. credits roll when they don't capitalized the first letter of someone's name. For example lindsay lohan, instead of Lindsay Lohan <- like it should be since it's a name.

I hate it, TOO, when they put the credits at the bottom in order to show you an upcoming episode of "whatever". There's been times when I've wanted to check the credits to see who a guest-star was----but, FORGET IT, when it's like that. Also, they almost ALWAYS run the credits MUCH too quickly!! !

I also don't like when movies use such small font for their credits. In the movie-house it might show-up, okay; but, when you're watching at home, it's just a blur of white on a black background.

When something is written on the screen, (I mean part of the movie/series, not the credits) it's usually not shown for a sufficiently amount of time for me to read all of it, and it's often not that big letters either. If it's a DVD or recording then I can pause it and read it properly, but otherwise likelihood is good that I will miss out on at least some of it.

Oh, I know----I totally hate that too!! ! They must get Evelyn Wood to read subtitles, and such, and when SHE'S finished reading, they figure it's been long enough. I have a little trick, now.... I skim the text to the end, picking-up what I HOPE are the important parts----then, if it's still on-screen, I go back and "fill-in" what I skipped-over. That's been working, fairly well.

I totally agree. It is really interesting to watch films from approximately the 1930s where they leave the words on the screen too long.

Logo bugs with a bunch of crap on them. "ALL NEW (INSERT HERE)" WEDNESDAY 8/7C" or "ALL NEW (INSERT HERE) IN 1:42:43" right next to the logo. Are you freakin' kidding me?! Maybe get rid of the logo bug and the clutter altogether - like in the old days of the 1990s. ABC used to have their bug up for 5 sec and fade away, now not only is it on the entire time, but it also has junk on it and sometimes hashtags! Absolutely hate it.
One of our news anchors here in Yakima pronounces 2009 as "twenty-oh-nine." Ditto on "twenty-oh-eight", "twenty-oh-seven". I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that. I wonder if he says 1999 as "one nine ninety nine"

Oh, I know what you mean----I hate it, as well!!

Yeah, I know wha'cha mean----I hate it, TOO!! Things at the bottom aren't so bad if they're, at least, STATIC; but, I've seen all kinds of things running / rolling / whatever..... Also, I hate it when their station identification is COLORED----if it's transparent, like some are, it's not quite as bad!! I must admit, years ago, I can remember, sometimes, wondering what station I was on, and appreciated it, when it first came-out----but, now we have a button on the remote to do that, and it isn't needed, anymore.

This is not really annoying, but.....

I think it's really interesting how many shows use the "Where are you going?" as a "bridge" for the another character's line.
