One fifth of our 2016 edition of this list is in the books, Part One included items such as Floyd Mayweather, people who hate their brown eyes,and much more. We begin our second part of this six-part series with No.80!
Second year selection: 2015:78
If you wonder we had measles outbreaks at Disneyland this year,it’s more than likely because of those who don’t want to vaccinate their children. Now,I’m not one who wants to tell other parents how to raise their kids because I have none,but honestly I don’t see the harm in being vaccinated. I was and so were my three siblings and I think it’s safe to say we turned out just fine.
I have friends who are worried about their young children interacting with other kids because they may not be vaccinated. We can’t have that kind of fear roaming around,people are afraid of too much as it is.
79. CATCH-ALL: 4/20 and Marijuana socks
Fifth year selection: 2015:54,2014:53,2013:40,2012:81,First year selection
I think this is the first time we’ve had a five-time selection on the list with 4/20 and rightfully so. It’s not a holiday,never has been,never will be. Honestly,if this “holiday” is all you have to look forward to in life,it’s probably time to get one.
Also,take those god damn marijuana socks off. Nobody cares that you like to smoke weed and we don’t need that reflected with the socks that are on your feet.
78. Sonic commercials with the two creepy guys in the car
Second year selection: 2015:81
These commercials are still on the air and they still suck.
You know these commercials where two creepy guys are having lunch in their car (who eats in their car?) and are having the most awkward conversations you can ever have in a vehicle.
Not only that,but Sonic’s warm food sucks. Every time I ever had it I got sick afterwards. If you need to find me,I’ll be at Dairy Queen,thank you very much!
Third year selection: 2015:26,2014:43
As much as I want to hold on to some things that are part of my childhood,some things need to be let go. Case in point: Adult onesies.
A onesie is okay to wear up until the age of about five,after that,don’t do it. To me it speaks of immaturity and a refusal to grow up and honestly a deal breaker for me in terms of dating a girl would be if she owned these. I’d run faster than I ever have before,and I’m a heavy dude now!
Like I’ve said in previous years, the training wheels are off now,the adult onesie should be,too!
76. Drake’s love of every sports team
First year selection
Does Drake have to be a fan of every single sports team this fucking exists?
Sure,he does root for his hometown Raptors,Blue Jays,and Maple Leafs, and Toronto FC, but he also has been seen cheering for the Kentucky Wildcats,Notre Dame Fighting Irish,Texas A&M Aggies,Houston Astros,Miami Heat,FC Barcelona,Villanova Wildcats,Manchester United,Manchester City,San Francisco 49ers,and Seattle Seahawks,just to name a few.
If you’ve read this blog on a regular basis,you know how much I hate sports bigamists, in fact,it was once the top item on this very list. But this is over the top,Drake. Pick a team and stick with them. Just because you go and visit teams in the locker room following a bad loss doesn’t mean you need to wear their gear,too. Come on now!
75. The Wave
Second year selection: 2013:100
This hasn’t made the list in a while,but I still hate it.
Why? Because it’s so played out and I hate when I’m at a sporting event and someone coaxes me to get up and wave my arms. How about letting me enjoy my snack and the game instead? Because that’s why I paid top dolla to be at thiis event to watch my team lose yet again.
Stop it with the wave already!
74. Northern Californians who refer to freeways as “The”
Third year selection: 2015:65,2013:25
I’ve hated this for as long as I can remember and it still happens,I probably hate this as much as my friend Dylan hates the word “Moist”. Somebody who’s a longtime Northern Californian will go to Southern California for a week or so and they come back and whenever a freeway is mentioned,they’ll say “Oh,yeah,just hop on the 5…”.
WHOA,WHOA,WHOA…The 5? It’s I-5,you son of a bitch!
Just because you went to Disneyland last week doesn’t make you an honorary Southern Californian. It’s I-5,got it? Good!
I also hate this because sometimes I’ll catch myself doing this and I feel like a bastard and have forgotten my roots. Know your roots!
Second year selection: 2015:52
Yes,I know it’s a King of Wishful Thinking selection,but I don’t care. I don’t like Eli Manning,I don’t know of many people that do outside of New York and New Jersey. I hate that he won two Super Bowls against my team, I hate that he whined to get to the Giants on draft day twelve years ago, I hate his DirecTV commercials,and I just think he’s overrated.
I can’t wait to DVR his retirement announcement so I can laugh and eat popcorn and shit. It’s gonna be a glorious day in the Sports Geek’s house when that happens. Hopefully it’s soon!
First year selection
Yeah,it’s a pretty recent item on the list,but I think many people agree that these uniform combinations are horrible.
When the Jets and Bills decided to play a cruel joke on the color blind by having all green and all red uniforms,it was a sign that these uniforms weren’t the brightest of ideas. The Jaguars and Titans made it much worse when the Jags wore all-gold (or whatever that puppy shit color was) and the Titans were in all-powder blue (they looked like giant Viagra pills). It got a little better with Dallas and Carolina on Thanksgiving,but not by much. It’s just a bad idea and a ploy to sell more jerseys and shit. I’d rather have true throwbacks back than to have these awful uniforms be on the field another week!
71. All Make America Great Again hats and people who sport them
First year selection
It’s not just the fact that it’s Donald Trump’s hat that makes this item of headwear listworthy,it’s the fact that it looks horrible. It looks like it was sold at a KMart in 1984 right next to the #1 Dad hats on Father’s Day. I think a trucker hat would look better,or even one of those bucket hats would be better. Anything but this!
Also,the slogan,Make America Great Again,is false. America’s always been great, you just forgot that it was!
First year selection
While E! has appeared on the list in some form before,the entire network itself never has. Now that they have canceled the only show worth watching with The Soup going off the air,there’s absolutely no reason I or anyone has to watch this channel. There are no quality programs to see on here, the Kardashians (who appear later on this list) have their show all over this channel as well as Caitlyn Jenner’s show where we have to hear about how hard it is to find something to wear,which as we all know,is the hardest thing about being a woman.
I miss the old days when there were shows like True Hollywood Story and Celebrity Profile,Talk Soup and E! News Daily with Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve Kmetko! Hell,even Taradise was mildly entertaining because we got to see Tara Reid in her natural habitat!
Now,it’s just a sad display of entertainment. It’s not even entertainment really,and now we just have nothing but Kardashians and shit. I’m not surprised this channel is called K! because of how much they’re on the air.
Second year selection: 2013,95
After a three year absence from our list,fanny packs are back on and it’s beginning to be sad when these are,for some reason,coming back. I saw a few people with them at Disneyland and others at the State Fair wearing them,too.
I’ve never understood the appeal of these,even in the 1980s when everyone had one. Why not carry a backpack instead? What’s wrong with that? You can keep more stuff in there and your friends can put their stuff in as well. Anything’s better than a fanny pack.
68. Dubsmash
First year selection
Other than a Keeping Up with the Kardashians marathon, I can’t think of something that’s quite the waste of time than Dubsmash.
What is it? It’s an app where you can basically lip-sync a snippet of a song and send it to various social media sites. It’s so dumb and by the way,I doubt that we’ll ever see me doing a Dubsmash video. I’m busy enough as it is and don’t have time for such foolishness.
First year selection
After Casey McGehee was DFA’d by the Giants (again),the goat on the team,for me at least,was Ehire Adrianza. When player after player went down with injury,the more he played and the more he played,the more he sucked.
Adrianza had a pretty bad OPS, at one point worse than pitchers Chris Heston and Tim Hudson and he wasn’t a very good fielder.
He made Joaquin Arias look like Derek Jeter. Like I said,I know the Giants had injuries throughout the lineup,but Adrianza shouldn’t have been on the roster last season and he shouldn’t be on there next season. If he is,I’m gonna scream!
66. New York sports fans booing each and every draft pick
First year selection
We’ve seen it time and time again at draft after draft. New York sports fans gather at every NFL and NBA draft and boo whoever the hell it is the team picks. Whether it be the Knicks,Giants,or Jets, these pukes don’t seem to care,they just boo because they want to.
When Kristaps Porzingis was drafted fourth overall in this year’s NBA Draft, he was booed mercilessly by fans young and old,not to mention immature. As of press time, Porzingis is looking pretty good and may be a Rookie of the Year candidate and making those fans who booed him look bad.
I get it,you’re New York. You’re big and bad and like to boo shit. Enough already! Maybe you should spend more time cheering the guys that are already on your team on to victory,if they ever win anything!
65. People who claim they’re moving to another state/country/continent/planet because something they don’t believe in (gay marriage,etc) is now legal in America
First year selection
This is one of those items that is complete bullshit because people say they’re going to move elsewhere when something they don’t believe in becomes a law like gay marriage.
We get it,you’re homophobic! That doesn’t mean you need to uproot your life and move away because of it. When did being homophobic stop you from staying in town before?
Anyways, I actually would love to see someone move because where they live the gays can get married now. It’ll never happen,but if it does,Instagram that shit to me!
64. CATCH-ALL: Parents who publicly shame their children and Parents who cuss their kids out on social media
First year selections
This is a keepin’ it real selection because I get sick of seeing news stories about this. Some brat kid does something to disobey their parents and then their parents put them on full blast on social media,further humiliating them.
Not only do they do it online,it’s also done in public,too. I remember my father telling me how horrible these people were for doing this before he died and he’s right. You don’t embarrass people just to embarrass them, this is your family. Besides that,nobody else wants to see your drama aired out in public or online,it doesn’t really matter.
If your children act up,deal with it privately,keep us out of it!
63. People who put Donald Trump’s face on a pumpkin
First year selection
This will probably be the only time this ever shows up on our list because of how idiotic his campaign is (more of that later this week), but putting this moron’s face on a pumpkin is just stupid. Maybe it’s just me,or maybe I’m just tired of hearing about and seeing him on television, but there were/are much better things to place on a pumpkin than this moron’s face.
Why not a kitty? What about a pirate? What about Betty White? The possibilities were/are endless and you chose to go full Trump on us. NEVER go full Trump!
First year selection
This is a selection that I thought hard about until my good friend Dylan convinced me to put this on here. She’s right,these are pretty hideous.
What’s the point of being in a sneaker that’s elevated at the heel? When you wear sneakers,it’s meant to be a sign of comfort,so why would you want to wear a sneaker that hurts your foot? Not to mention that these things are totally overpriced to even be considered fashionable.
If you want to look casual and wish to be a little bit taller, just wear some wedges or heels. Wearing sneakers that make you taller just looks weird and tacky.
First year selection
If you read this blog on a regular basis,you’re probably aware of how much I dislike the Clippers’ new logo(s). They’re boring,unimaginative,and a downgrade from the logos and wordmarks they have previously. Not only that,but they pretty much copied and pasted the wordmark and numeral onto the old uniforms.
I get why Steve Ballmer changed them,it’s so his team could have a fresh start from the disastrous era of Donald Sterling. I think,however,that there were other ways this could’ve been done,but if a logo change is part of that,why not come up with something that’s maybe creative and cool? This is just a rip-off of an EA Sports logo and I think the team knows it.
Part Three comes your way tomorrow!
