the overrated thread

Okay, … now you’ve done it Ollie.

Pizza? You’re dead to me.

Hey pizza: you’re alive to me!

::digests pizza::

i’m in accord with many people on here

my overrated list:

pabst blue ribbon
filet mignon
vampire weekend
iPods
hp computers (they fucking suck!!!)
frozen food
cell phones (i still don’t own one)
campout festivals
Beck
getting blackout drunk

Agreed. Give me a steak with some fuckin’ character! Ribeye (my favorite) or a nice sirloin. A good porterhouse (preferably on special) works too – best of both worlds!

^^
What’d frozen food ever do to you?!

:slight_smile:

it pissed me off on sunday. i made the mistake of getting a shrimp scampi sort-of-thing so i didn’t have to cook. reheating scampi sauce is probably the worst idea ever since the oil completely seperates from everything else. i went bowling after i ate and drank 2 pitches of amber bock (also overrated garbage). monday morning came and my colon had it’s revenge.

frozen food disappoints me about 85% of the time

and yes, Amber Bock is garbage for sure

I’d agree with this. Even more-so, “staying late” is overrated. The only reason someone should have to stay late at work is you have a SUPER special project to complete and it’s a rare occurance, you have WAY to much work to do, you’re lazy or slow or your home life sucks so bad that you’d rather stay at work. Yet bosses always LOVE when people stay late and look down upon the reasonable people who actual leave at 5pm when they’re supposed to. If it makes me look bad to bust out at 5 every day then screw them…I’m getting a raise anytime soon anyway.

Also, on this text messaging and cell phone crap is that YOUR CALL is overrated. That’s right…I’m sitting talking to someone and their stupid cell phone rings and they say “Oh, I gotta take this!” and then I get to sit there staring at the wall while they talk to their wife about garbage. For one, you DON’T “gotta take this”…it can wait five minutes for you to finish the conversation and then call the person back. And that goes to these idiots who talk on their cell phone while they drive…your call can WAIT. That’s the problem with cell phones in general…people are convinced that they can’t POSSIBLY be without their phone in case a VERY important call comes that they can’t POSSIBLY miss. Please…you’re not that important and neither are your phone calls.

And I’ll second the White Stripes. Jack White’s not that great a guitarist. Really, he isn’t. He IS a great producer and can make some nice tunes but then he can’t reproduce them live (and that live act DESPERATELY needs a bass player. You’re not the Doors, Jack. You need bass.)

I MUST agree with this. They look TERRIBLE. Who the heck invented them? I’d like to punch them in the face.

And I’d also second that most “fancy” foods are very overrated. Gimmie some cheap greasy enchillada over some fancy filet mignon anyday. In fact, I’d argue that any restuarant who charges too much for food is almost guaranteed to be overrated.

^you might want to check out the Raconteurs. Jack’s musical superpowers are amplified exponentially in this band.

jack white is extremely overrated. white stripes and raconteurs both leave much to be desired.

hey…you’re right! i just never had anybody lay it out so clearly for me. i have seen the light. thank you.

:wink:

that’s my job. to be as much of an asshole as possible. how else am i supposed to get people to see things from my point of view??? :wink:

perhaps i should try gift bags???

Convictions on musical opinion are overrated. :wink:

That said, F*$(N’ TREY RULES!!!


Alcohol & tobacco.

Not that anyone really like, rates cigarettes as great.

Do you hate firearms as well?

^Is that to me?

This isn’t about hate.

It’s about rate.

Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller! Every once in a while they have a movie with some funny stuff in it, but mostly they’re pretty damn stupid.

I know this is non-phish discussion, but FLUFFHEAD is overrated. Good compositional song, but people acted like it was the end of the world cause they haven’t played fluffhead since what 2000. Sorry had to be said.

Oh yeah also:
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. Yeah it’s got the cool names and its natural from vermont, but $5 for a small serving. Give me the breyers that is less expensive and you get a considerable more amount of ice cream.

fluffhead is NOT overrated

lol @ breyer’s over ben and jerry’s. dude. really. c’mon.

Don’t under estimate Breyer’s dude. It’s got all the flavors. Snickers, Heath Bar Crunch, Root Beer Float, etc. $2.99 at the local grocery store for a half gallon. $5 for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.

OH and your reaction proletariat objecting to Fluffhead being overrated pretty much proves my point. It’s like every phan feels that it’s the end all be all song. Just my .02.

i’m not sure where B&J’s is $5 a pint. it’s $3 here in WV, not cheap by any means, but the peanut butter cup and chunky monkey pwn my custie face
