the endorsement: shutting the fuck up about what shows you watch.

you’ve heard it before, “what do you mean you don’t watch ‘its always sunny in philadelphia?” nothing is more irritating to me than someone who can’t shut the fuck up about whatever show they can’t live without, especially when coupled with an endorsement for dvr.  yes, there is plenty of terrific programming out there right now but who has time to watch all of them?  losers, thats who.  and old people.  if somebody asks you what shows you like it is acceptable to give a succinct list of a few shows you watch on a regular rotation since seinfeld ended, but to act aghast if someone hasn’t seen one that you mention shows your dependence on outside stimuli for happiness and moreover you using projection to display your ignorance and lack of self-confidence.  “you DON’T watch 30 rock?!?!?”….no, shithead.  i was doing things that don’t rely on alec baldwin’s wry sense of humor or tina fey’s comedic timing.  don’t push your stupid shows down my throat.  if i want to watch monk i will do it on my own accord, not because some so & so told me tony shalhoub is “very underrated”.  next time some show-pusher tries to tell you what to watch, just pick a crappy arbitrary show on cable (i use the closer with kyra sedgwick on tnt) and babble on and on about how good it is even if you’ve never seen an episode.  cut them off whenever they try to speak and try to sound as interesting as possible.  if that doesn’t work, just say, “shut the fuck up about ‘the office!” then storm out of the room mumbling non-sequitors.
