Yesterday, on a Discord server I am a member of (not the Tavern, but a separate one that I will not publicize here, but there was this transphobic guy who was like "stick to your own gender" and "pick a gender". They eventually made him leave. Good riddance to that transphobic scum-of-the-Earth! I'm not trans myself, but I am an ally for them. Alex Roman (talk) 05:17, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. There's this album called Let Go and it is the most pretentious there's ever been in pop culture, period. It tries so hard to be cool, unique and different, even though it's actually as shamelessly manufactured as everything by the likes of Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.

The Worst TV Shows Ever

  1. Lilo and Stitch: The Series: An action-adventure reskin of SpongeBob, The Lion King, The Angry Beavers, The Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, The Wild Thornberrys, Timon and Pumbaa, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters, Doug, CatDog and Rocko's Modern Life. No originality whatsoever, as per usual for a Disney show.
  2. Hannah Montana: No comment.
  3. American Pickers: Mindless redneck garbage.
  4. Duck Dynasty: Same as above. For people who like Nickelback and those people only.
  5. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?: Yes, I am, you idiots.
  6. America's Funniest Home Videos: Why do people watch this crap? It's not like you can understand what Tom Bergeron and Alfonso Ribeiro are saying anyway. In all fairness, it used to be good when Bob Saget was the host and it wasn't as tasteless or inappropriate, but not anymore. It's not crap because "it's popular/mainstream"; it's crap because there is no artistry or passion whatsoever and the masses don't care.
  7. Dora the Explorer: Stupid, manufactured, corporate, formulated crap made for brainless little kids. A blatant "as long as it's for kids, it can be as low-quality as possible" excuse. There are many kids in the world who are smart and deserve better than this, you know.
  8. Baby Einstein: Of all the preschool shows, this direct-to-video series and the franchise it's based on are the worst of the worst.
  9. Fifi and the Flowertots: This show is so scathingly annoying. Kids, show how smart and intelligent you already are to Fifi and her friends!
  10. Barney & Friends: Can you say nauseating?
  11. Higglytown Heroes: Mind-numbing. Watch this if you wish to lower your IQ.
  12. JoJo's Circus: A manufactured preschool show where JoJo and her friends portray false happiness to the minds of ignorant morons. They teach them how to do exercises that wouldn't feel out of place as dance moves in a typical music video. It used to air on an overpriced network and Disney was excellent at marketing it, all while they forced the show's clichéd messages down kids' throats.
  13. Little People (Edmnont): Another preschool/educational/toddler/edutainment show. Whatever you call it, it's manufactured crap like all the others. Again, many kids are smart. and don't deserve to have these crappy shows that aren't like Mister Rogers, classic Sesame Street or Thomas & Friends pushed onto them.
  14. Teletubbies: I can explain above.
  15. Wimzie's House: Preschool trash.
  16. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Pure, unintelligent, lowest-common-denominator trash that Disney enjoys supplying the masses with. Mickey and the gang treat their audience like crap. Literal crap. There are way too many spin-offs as well, and they aren't any better.
  17. Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!: Noise. Just mindless noise.
  18. All Hail King Julien: It has one of the stupidest episodes I've ever heard of: "Diapers Are the New Black".
  19. Drake and Josh: The show that contributed to, or at least started, Nickelodeon's downfall. Drake and Josh has a knack for having the least likable, most unfunny characters and the most easy-to-follow plots in existence. The characters don't even take themselves seriously. It seems like they just put way too much effort into making the masses laugh. Really, though, they're only coming off as both awkward and unintentionally hilarious at the same time. iCarly is even worse.
  20. Monsters Vs. Aliens (2013): Tries to be comedy and sci-fi at the same time like the movie it's based on.
  21. Cocomelon: Just silly kids' garbage. Yeah, it sucks. A lot. Since the whole Internet board seems to ignore and/or hate its guts, I might as well join the crowd for this one.
  22. Max & Ruby: Most slice-of-life shows, like the kid-friendly Max & Ruby, are boring and bland. I also can't believe how mean-spirited and bossy Ruby is towards Max.
  23. Sabrina, the Teenage Witch: No different from the "teen sitcom" horse crap that's been contaminating the airwaves since the 1990s, not to mention that it's over-commericalized the fantasy genre.
  24. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: I feel the same way about this cartoon known for over-commericalizing and watering down the fantasy genre as I do about veggie burgers.
  25. The Problem Solverz: Disgusting and seizure-inducing.
  26. Secret Mountain Fort Awesome: Even more disgusting.
  27. C.H.U.E.C.O.: An unfunny, unintelligent, corporate, unoriginal and boring Spanish sitcom. Just another casual TV show of today's society.
  28. For posers only.
