Yeah...Avatar was basically just a story of American colonialism (IN SPACE!) with magic Indians.

House MD: It's basically just Becker, but super serious and with the CSI-style unrealistic detective work to solve ridiculously unlikely problems. Why so many people seem to love that show is beyond me but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
Night Clubs: Typically they're extremely loud, packed full of sweaty, superficial douchebags flopping about like bellends and the alcohol is so overpriced it makes a set of TV order steak knives seem like a bargain. I personally need to be higher than the Hubble Telescope just to make the whole experience tolerable.
3D movies. I'm sorry, but having to pay even more than the already extortionate price for a ticket and wear those asinine glasses and my own a the same time just to get a slight 3D effect on the odd piece of foreground scenery is bullshit.

I hate 3D films as well. I do not want to fool with those cheap glasses and see the occasional, lame 3D effect that looks much worse to me than the original film.

A few more things:
Laker fans and Laker haters - they are both annoying. The rest of us don't give a fuck if they win or lose.
Chuck Norris - I've seen his quotes. He is not a cool person. Ever.
Those stupid expensive as hell fugly shoes that comes from Nike and other such companies.

@art: House is super serious? When did this happen? I mean it's not Scrubs funny but it certainly isn't stiff jawed serious.
Also, did I mention I hate frozen green beans? Yuck.

I've only seen a couple of episodes of it when it first aired, but I never saw any humour whatsoever.

That reminds me: Onions. I have a major aversion to them.
To a lesser extent, coffee.
Edit: Watch the "Three Stories" episode in the first season. It's hilarious.

That reminds me: Onions. I have a major aversion to them. ONIOOOOOONS! Damn things. Also, tomatoes and pickles. Yup, guess who's gagged on a wrong order hamburger too many times?

I like tomatoes and pickles, but I feel your pain all the same. I always have to double-check my order before I bite into it. God damn onions. Why must they be on everything? Pizza, burgers, salads...
Though I can stand them if they're in things like salsa, since the taste and texture of the onions isn't detectable.

I've only seen a couple of episodes of it when it first aired, but I never saw any humour whatsoever. The first couple episodes were used to establish the series so it wouldn't be canned but once it got the ball rolling there was a lot of humor that was brought about by House's sarcasm and snark. But it's cool. It's gone downhill now so I don't suggest people start watching it at the current juncture. Do yourself a favor and watch the earlier seasons instead to get a better picture of how one would enjoy it. Re: Onions. I like them on the grill but I don't like them in my burgers.

Electronic "music" - Electronica, techno, house, dubstep, I don't care what you call it. It's all garbage that some asshole with a Mac threw together. The worst ones will "remake" once classic songs and butcher them with what sounds to me like variations on the dial-up tone. It's not music, you're not an artist, get off the fucking stage.
The Beatles - I don't get it. They wrote a ton of songs that make no sense whatsoever and somehow this made them famous. Maybe it's cuz I don't really care for that style of music (or anything older than the 80s, really), but they genuinely don't strike me as terribly talented. Perhaps that was the high point for their time, but I don't get why they're still so popular.
Bars/Clubs - How are these fun? Too many people, the food/drinks are really expensive, and the music is typically too damn loud to hold a conversation.
Movies/TV - I don't understand why so many people find them entertaining. It feels like a retarded book, in that there is no effort required to it and they often lack the kind of detail that good authors provide.

I like some techno/trance, but dubstep is awful.
Every time I've been dragged along to a bar or club, it's usually ended with me having to rescue a drunk friend from going home with an asshole, while fending off other assholes who are trying to take me home.
I don't drink that much, and when I do I limit myself to only a couple drinks. Even when I've been drunk, which is very rare, I tend to handle it well; I've never blacked out and done something (or someone) idiotic. At worst, I might engage in a silly conversation about how "I totally respect you, man." As a result, I'm almost always the one who ends up babysitting a bunch of drunk people. It sucks.
Plus, every club in this damn city seems to be populated by crackheads and/or the Canadian version of Guidos. Popped collars as far as the eye can see, and Aqua Velva as far as the nose can smell.

So yeah, thanks to the mention of House (which I haven't really seen), I just thought I'd bring up Leverage. The plots get unnecessarily complex, and one episode even had one of the characters stealing a computer from a public airport (inside a cabinet in one of the stores).
Ugh. That show has way too many ridiculous and convoluted plots. I just cannot sustain a suspension of disbelief when it happens to be on.
Also, I have a distaste for a lot of these stupid live-action comedy movies that come out. Lots of toilet humor and innuendo that try to carry mediocre plots most of the time. Oh, and I don't like a lot of the central characters, because most of the time at least one of them comes off as an obnoxious douchenozzle.
Bars, and group drinking in general have repeatedly proven to be disappointing in my experience. There's been times when there has been fun, but not only are conversations hard to hold because of the loud music, but people tend to be constantly moving and doing other shit. Also, at least with my friends, there seems to be a distinct lack of knowing when to call it a night. For fuck's sake, there's no reason to keep partying until 7 A.M. when I'm tired by 2 or 3 A.M. Generally I've found that drunk people seem to have no sense of time or focus on an activity. I suppose things wouldn't be so bad if the parties wouldn't become so boring.
