everything on the list but stand up comedy....which I love.

expecially dislike sports and really hate watching them. Sports to me is useless to watch, slightly useful to perform as it makes for a healther body (most of time) but utterly and completely useless to watch. most sports on tv involve folks chasing a ball like it was the holy grail bouncing around. I find it utterly pointless to watch sports.

most movie stars are soo full of crap that I dont like watching tv or movies unless there is some really good plot.

opera....um only my bird understood opera

video games.... I have seizures so the flashing lights bothered me badly and I really perform poorly at them

pinball machine.....can we say carpal tunel?

the rest of them are so unmemberable that I cant remember them

Sports and magic the gathering, operas and other plays and stand up comedy. I am very selective and I don't like all video games nor all movies.

ohhh ya music....I like regae and the blue man group, most music with a good rhythm without saying b@tch every five seconds.
but I never been to a concert other than military concerts my dad made us go to....from what I heard I would be so overwhelmed that my mind would probably be melted to a gooey mess on the ground while everyone else stomped on it

I chose "stand up" because I have never found a single stand up joke funny in my life.

I never did care for sports at all. Growing up, it seemed like everyone around me was so gung-ho over sports and wrestling. People are always asking me what sports I like, and I always have to tell them that I don't care for sports at all.

I chose nothing because the last 4 on the list are equally yuck.

I understand that some people enjoy playing sports, but I don't understand why anyone enjoys watching it. For me, it would be like sitting outside a restaurant watching people eating nice food.

I don't really get the appeal of movies, at least relative to their prominence in the world. Part of it might be I was almost never allowed to watch any growing up. I usually have trouble recalling details from them after I've seen them, unlike tv shows which have recurring characters and themes. And quoting from movies being a common pasttime is also foreign to me. I do enjoy movies that suit my educational or entertainment tastes, just don't identify with the mass appeal and how people just make allusions to them in every day conversations when there's millions of movies out there.

I chose "Stand-Up Comedy". I would have chose "Television" if there was a separate option for that because I enjoy movies, but not TV.

In order from least favourite to favourite.

Stand-Up Comedy

Television

Magic

Theater and Opera

Sports

Video Games

Music

Movies

Exactly!

My first thought on reading the thread title, before opening the thread, was boxing. I picked sports, because there is not a single instance where I would care to watch a sporting event. All the others (except Magic: The Gathering, because I don't really know what it is) there is some that I enjoy and some not.

I actually totally get concerts and would go to them all the time if they didn't give me migraines.

Reality TV is the worst but it's not on the poll so I went with magic.

In order from least favourite:

- Television (especially Reality TV, Celebs, some TV shows)
- Video Games
- Sports in TV with scarce exceptions like F1 car racing or Soccer world championship
- Participating in team sports (cuckoo egg?)
- Contemporary/popular movies that I'm supposed to know about
- Opera

I like:
- Music. Though I'm not very keen on going to concerts I sometimes do. I like classical music, jazz, world music, folk music, reggae etc.
- Some movies and TV shows (only recorded). I do perseverate some movies.

I voted sports...I never really understood them, but I understand why some types of people would want to watch them. Same goes with me and video games...they rely a lot on reaction time, and my reaction time is AWFUL.

Agreed!! ! This just about makes my stomach turn- I can't believe how much money is spent on this stuff. When I see a celebrity endorsing a product, I make it a point NOT to purchase it.

I voted for sports... never really did understand them much, nor see the point.

Exercise is a good thing, but play-aggression never did much for me.
