Watching Television: Things That Annoy Me As I Watch


Started 7:06PM - Friends / TEN

7:08 - Wizard Home Loans Ad: Guy pronounced "because" as "becores".
7:18 - Australian Idol Promo Ad: Annoying "Can you feel it?" song sung by annoying people, one contestant does that head side-to-side diva move.
7:28 - Tony Fergusson Ad: Girl lying on the couch raises her eyebrows way too much.
7:29 - Star Wars Phantom Menace Promo Ad: Guy narrating the ad sounds like a violent psychopath. Deep voice, weird inflections.
7:37 - So You Think You Can Dance: One of the dancers is named Thayne.
7:48 - Rush Promo Ad: Looks like a really shit Australian cop show. No surprises there.
8:24 - Mamma Mia! The Movie - They refer to it as an unmissable movie experience. The movie looks terrible.
8:28 - So You Think You Can Dance - Getting real antsy. Wanting to do something productive instead of watch tv.
8:37 - Origin Energy - Heart-warming acoustic song gettng on my nerves.
8:49 - So You Think You Can Dance - Celine Dion's voice in a song.. ughhhh. Her accent comes through pretty thick and it is annoying.
9:16 - Libra Tampons Ad - The girl does her best "rock chick" impression as she poses up a storm. The distortion in the guitar riff sounds like something that would come out of a cheap amplifier. Shapes fly in the background. why? Annoying rock chick does not = strong, independent woman.
9:23 - Cheerios Advert - Lies, Lies from tiny eyes. Over the top.
9:25 - Island Doors Advert - They Use a lense flare at the end of the ad/
9:40 - Toilet Break - Browsed Digg articles on laptop.
9:51 - So You Think You Can Dance - Flowrider's shoes are ridiculous - the tongues are huge and go up to his knees (exaggeration).
9:54 - Cash Converters Ad - The girls voice is so annoying, you would never hear someone talking this way in real life.
9:56 - Cunningham Warehouse Ad - The "Cunno's" bit at the end really unsettles me.
10:08 - Still in work clothes, feeling uncomfortable. Got changed and charged laptop.

I keep trying to say "becores" but i still don't think i'm doing it right. No idea how you can possibly pronounce 'because' as that! it must sound really weird haha
