People Confess What Their Generation Experienced That Kids Today Will Never Understand

Nostalgia can be a powerful thing.

Have you looked at any of the movies to come out in the last year or so?

While nostalgia can be a fun trip to go on—letting you live in the past and feel like you did when you were younger, the lights were brighter and the sugar didn’t quite hurt your teeth as much—it can be damaging to the present. If your eyes are on the past, you’re not looking at the now.

That being said, there is a strange idea that what you went through in your youth might never be replicated now. After all, life goes on, and we’re never going back to dial-up internet service.

Thank goodness.

Reddit user, incrementaler, wanted to know what some kids might have missed out on when they asked:

“What is something your generation got to experience that no other generation will be able to experience?”

Never Forget

“Going up in the cockpit to meet the pilots. Thanks terrorist, ruined it for everyone.” ~ paksman

“You’re right. In flight it’s a no-go for the vast majority of airlines that all fall under certain TSA regulations.”

“However it’s no problem while boarding, unless we are busy with something. Just tell the flight attendants right when you step on that you’d like to say hello to the pilots, or that your kid would.”

“The flight attendant will check with us really quick then let you come say hello. Usually it’s children and they get pictures etc…, but I’ve also had the occasional nervous passenger or curious individual.” ~ duprass

Pics, Or It Didn’t Happen

“If something bad happened to you, there was no video of it.” ~RoriksteadResident

“We would have absolutely ended up in jail had there been smartphones & social media when I was in high school.” ~ Jealous-Network-8852

“When good moments would become memories, instead of desperate attempts to whip out your phone and document every moment” ~ Guava_

What Are You Up To?

“Walking over to a friend’s house because of boredom and knocking on the door. Them coming to the door to see who is knocking and discovering it’s a friend who dropped by unannounced and being happy.” ~ LurkJerk55

Let’s Go To The Mall, Everybody!

“Malls being the town hub. They were always really crowded.” ~ Ohsoeasy

“I remember going up to the mall to ‘hang out’ in high school. Friday nights the mall was packed with teenagers walking around, hanging at the food court, smoking ciggs out the main entrance, skateboarders out back.”

“Today’s kids buy everything online. Totally different world.” ~ PrincessPeach1229

Pay To Win

“Video games that required cheat codes rather than credit cards to unlock features.” ~ Leesider1

“I remember when my mom figured out from a magazine we got at the library that you could cheat code Bill Clinton into NBA Jam on SNES. How 90s is that?” ~ iStealyournewspapers

Is It Clear?

“Changing the channel on the TV and having to go outside and turn the antenna until my older sister yelled ‘OK!’.” ~ NagromTrebloc

No Winging It On Hangs

“Having to schedule things with your friends that either A, was well planned out in advance with very agreed upon meeting times, or B, waiting around the house to get a phone to call to set up the aforementioned plans.”

“Also knowing all of your friends and family phone numbers in your head so you could call from pay phones” ~ febreeze_it_away

But Not Streaming. Imagine That.

“Not that big of a deal but I got to go home from school knowing there would be new episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark, Ahhh Real Monsters, Rockos Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Cow and Chicken, TMNT, Mighty Max, Street Sharks, Kenan and Kel, All That, Angry Beavers…” ~ SimpinOnGinandJuice

Seriously. This Was A Thing.

“Porn mags hidden in the forest” ~ blindsniperx

“We were on a weekend Scouting trip and were hiking uphill on a paved road. We were fortunate that the Scoutmaster was up ahead and out of sight because I spotted something over the hill behind a tree.”

“We went down to check it out and discovered porn and pints of Iron City beer. Some of us ended up having an especially fun time that weekend. I suppose that we violated several tenants of The Scout Law.” ~ NagromTrebloc

To See It Evolve From Both Sides

“Being a kid and a teenager without social media.” ~  paksman

“I’ll add too growing up along with the internet evolving. When I was a kid there was no social media and basically no internet.”

“Around my late middle school/early high school years AOL became a thing. So we experienced the anonymous internet.”

“Everything was through user names. You connected with people on themed message boards.”

“Then came the personal but still a little anonymous part. Programs that let you connect with people you know but still in a semi private way. Things like ICQ, AIM, Xanga, LiveJournal, etc…”

“About halfway through high school came the first modern social media: MySpace. Learned a lot about connecting with people, music, etc…”

“It was opening the door to internet that was connected to your actual person. And all the top 8 drama that went with it.”

“When I went to college my first semester I couldn’t get on Facebook because my college had not registered with them yet. Spring semester they had.”

“It was a great way to connect with others in my college and stay in touch with friends at other schools.”

“Then we got to watch it all grow and become more sinister and become the influencer culture with instagram and tiktok. Also all the data collection and lack of privacy that seems unimaginable when I think of the early days of anonymity.”

“It seriously feels like I grew up along with the internet and got to go through all its phases too.”

“It’s been a unique perspective being on both sides of the internet revolution.” ~ dont_blink_angels

The old days might have been fun, but they’re gone.

Don’t forget to love and live in the present.

You might find it’s just as good as things used to be.

People Share the Fanbases They Think Act Like Cults

I know my answer! And it probably won’t be a huge revelation to a lot of folks out there…

But I think that SOME people who are really into the Insane Clown Posse are basically a cult.

Come to think of it, they’d probably even agree with me!

People on AskReddit spoke up and admitted what fanbases they think act like cults.

Check out the responses below.

1. Absurd.

“I absolutely love Taylor Swifts music, been listening to it for years. But I only recently started seeing the fans on my social media feed and my goodness, it’s absurd.

Besides what you said, they care way too much about streaming/buying numbers and awards. They attack other fans, Taylor’s team, other fandoms and sometimes even Taylor herself when songs don’t rise to the top of the charts or she doesn’t win a fan voted award.

It’s so weird to me because what I’ve seen of Taylor Swift, she is quite humble and just focuses on music and putting on a good show. Also, she has really handled a lot of scandels that weren’t her fault with grace and kindness. Totally opposite of what her fand are like online LOL.”

2. Theater folks.

“Literally anything involving theatre.

Seriously. If you walk into a rehearsal 15 minutes late, you’re gonna see some weird s**t.”

3. Nerd alert!

“Star Wars fans.

I personally dont like star wars because I just dont but I dont really try bash on people who actually do

But whenever I watch Star Wars (insert that silver boba fett guy and baby yoda) and then i talk about why it didn’t make sense (silver guy was on ground and those droids just looked at him like there was nothing there instead of blasting him right away).

I get so much h**e and half a**ed bs excuses.”

4. Never heard of him…

“Jordan Peterson fans.

To give an unbiased answer, he’s a conservative political philosopher who became really popular after publicly criticising a Canadian law on misgendering people & giving an infamous interview on Channel 4 News in 2018.

He’s a highly divisive figure because of certain views he has shared regarding women and transgender people. A lot of people like him for his self-improvement works and because they think he’s right in his criticisms of society, whereas others don’t like him because they think he’s transphobic and m**ogynist.”

5. LOL.

“Fans of the Broadway show Hamilton.

I used to be a huge fan and suffered through the weird fandom. While Hamilton did great things for POC on Broadway, it opened the doors for teenagers to romanticize and s**ualize slaveowners.

I tried to criticize it one time online (and it wasn’t even that bad of a criticism.) and I literally got chased off of tumblr. Oh and, don’t get me started on Thomas Jefferson’s Hatsune Miku binder…”

6. Here you go.

“Rick and Morty

Sherlock

Supernatural

Steven Universe

Doctor Who.”

7. So weird.

“Zodiac signs.

People will literally divorce it break up or just ignore people because their signs are”incompatible”.”

8. VEGANS.

“As someone who tried to go vegan, vegans.

As is the case with all groups, not all vegans are had. I’ve met some very nice and not annoying vegans, but so many of them have to tell you every 5 seconds that they’re vegan. And the ones that will spent hours trying to convince you to go vegans are the worst.

This is coming from someone who was that annoying vegan that tried to convert everyone. I’m just vegetarian now and I’m way more sufferable.”

9. Bigshot director.

“Fans of Zack Snyder. I saw Army of the Dead yesterday and I just gotta say, that movie is like, objectively bad… but his fans honestly cannot see it.

Like, I’m sure they’re thinking stuff like, “Oh, his directing, writing, and cinematography was so stunning and brave! The h**ers are just jealous of all the wrinkles his brain has! I wonder what the robot zombies and UFOs mean! He must have had a reason to randomly start talking about time loops in a zombie movie! Tee-hee, who cares about stuff like plot, acting, and continuity errors, just turn your brain off you snob!”

Like, I’m not saying he’s a terrible director or something; he’s done some great stuff. But this movie was absolute dog s**t, and I just find it kinda weird how his fans, and major film critics for that matter, will defend it when it is just so blatantly terrible.”

10. K-POP.

“As a K-Pop fan…..K-pop fans. Now it’s not all of them, but there are definitely ones that get laughed at for how they fetishize/infantilize the idols and stuff.

It’s insane how they will defend and protect the problematic idols against those who rightfully call them out. Some of them have forums talking about personal not public business of the idols. They make up stories about them, and some of them gatekeep to know end.

Some also stalk and poison idols and so on, though the last point used to happen like in earlier years, it’s still freaking crazy. I just try not to associate with those ones, but the chill ones instead.”

11. Apple folks.

“People who buy apple computers.

Tell them that another company with windows OS has a better performing computer for 1/2 the price and they’ll say things like

“Macs have better display” or “the programs I use work better in apple” and I want to hit those people because usually the programs they refer to are the adobe suite, which a lot of my classmates in uni ran on windows machines.

Source:: Works in IT and studied Digital Art.”

12. USA!

“America First people.

Anything reusing a WWII American fascist/N**i sympathizer slogan in 21st century is not thinking their position all the way through.

Or, they’re terrible. One of those…”

13. I agree.

“Radiohead fans.

sSeriously, if you’ve ever been cornered by a radiohead fan in the wild, you know how annoying the hardcore fans can be. But the fact that I had one assume because i liked “real alternative music” (i was wearing my Slint t-shirt at the time) that I must like Radiohead.

And he went on for a good 30 mins (not letting me get a word in) and telling me all his wild theories about how all the albums are connected and if you add the barcode for the japanese release of ok computer with PI then divide by 3, you get a prize where tom york comes down from the heavens and gives you a gentle pat on the b**t (not really what he said but he was talking about symbols and s**t).

My major takeaway with Radiohead fans is they think they’re smarter than everyone else because they listen to them and if Radiohead are considered a smart band, then they, as fans, must also be smart.”

Do you think there are some fanbases out there that act like cults?

If so, tell us about it in the comments.

Please and thank you!

What Fanbase Acts Like a Cult? People Shared Their Thoughts.

Have you ever been to a concert where you weren’t that into the band and you thought to yourself, “wow, these people are fanatical about this group?”

I have…and the band shall remain nameless…for now…

But the fact is that there are a lot of fanbases for bands and other things out there that are INCREDIBLY devoted.

What fanbase do you think acts like a cult?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this…

1. Yup.

“As a long time fan of Tool, Tool.

I mean… yeah, the music is good (kind of disappointed in their last album, though) but the number of people spending forever dissecting every last word of every Tool album and je**ing off over the random time signatures is a bit over the top.”

2. Get fit!

“Crossfit.

My brother in law is a big time Crossfitter. His whole personality is literally his Wife, kids and Crossfit. Which I’m cool with. He’s really good people.

But he gets all frustrated when they come out to work cows with me and by 4 o clock he’s dragging a** and us out of shape looking cowboys are still rolling along strong. Granted at 4 o’clock we’ve been going for 11 hours.

And to be honest it’s a really good workout program. The BIL talked me into it, and I did it for 2-3 years. I also payed more attention to my diet. I got to where I had a 6 pack and looked ripped. It was cooler n hell.

I’ve kinda fallen off that wagon though. I’m doing traditional weights at home and a 20 minute yoga routine every day. I’m convinced with how I work, coupled with a bit of yoga to stay flexible is what will keep me in the best shape for the longest.”

3. Buy now!

“Cryptocurrency investors. Absolutely cult-like behaviour.

Well… not all of the crypto investors, but the ones who rave about it online are certainly pretty cult-like.”

4. Has an entourage.

“Yandere Dev.

He’s the Chris Chan of game devs, and no sane person wants to associate with him.

Yet he still has an entourage of underaged fans that still believe that he will one day finish the c**ppy game (which btw is infamous for s**ualising teenagers) that’s been in development for 7 years now.”

5. It’s true.

“The Harry Potter fandom.

I’m prepared to get lots of h**e but I’m sure I’ll get agreement too because it’s so true.”

6. Ouch.

“Beyonce and her cancerous fanbase that treat her like this otherworldly being.

She’s got a nice voice but everyone acts like she’s an angel sent from heaven or something.”

7. We get your point.

“Jojo’s bizarre adventure.

As a Jojo fan I can confirm it is at least somewhat like a cult. Once you’re in, you can never leave.

Not that I really want to, but my point still stands.”

8. Weird.

“Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars…I’m pretty sure they think he’s the second coming.

Take a look at the pictures of his extremely expensive trip to a private island with his most devout fans.

Pretty sure it is an openly acknowledged cult.”

9. Part of the club.

“Rick and Morty fans were my first thought.

The show might be funny, but the people who act like liking it is signs of a high IQ or s**t like that make me not want to get into it.”

10. Definitely.

“Most sports teams.

There is always someone who is more passionate/knows more and will make themselves known about it. Alternatively they say you can’t be a real fan because you don’t know x or y.

I enjoy a few sports. I have teams that I support. But I don’t know the ins and outs of everything they do. Doesn’t stop me being a fan but it feels like to some fans you are worse than fans of other clubs.”

11. Totally.

“People on keto diets.

I’ve eaten a ketogenic diet before and looking back I was so annoying. I needed to tell everyone 24/7 that I didn’t eat carbs and how great keto was. And soooo many people are like that about keto. Keto is life, love, and the answer to our eternal questions!!!

Gosh I was so annoying, I’m grateful for every friend who didn’t slap me.”

12. Swifties.

“Taylor Swift Fans AKA Swifties.

I am going to admit that I do post on the sub and do like her music, but god d**n, they want her to constantly drop music all the time.

I’ve been a Brand New fan (and still am even through all the s**t that came out) for years and I know what it’s like to be waiting for new music, but man, these people don’t understand that they just got three album in nine month span.

Also, I don’t get why their so eager to meet their idol. Don’t they understand that you should never meet your heroes?”

What fanbases do you think act like cults?

People Talk About the Advertisements That Made Them Not Want to Buy Products

There’s a recent commercial I’ve seen several times lately that I really, REALLY don’t like.

It’s a Kraft cheese commercial with a close-up of a grilled cheese sandwich in a frying pan and some guy singing a stupid little song about wanting to eat it.

Really? You had millions of dollars for advertising and that’s what you came up with?

Well, now you’ve annoyed me!

Which advertisements made you actually avoid buying a product?

People on AskReddit answered that question.

1. Not realistic.

“Baby commercials where the dad is just a bumbling idiot.

I can have the diaper off, cleaned, and new diaper on before baby even knows I’m changing them.”

2. Getting old…

“All the Liberty Insurance ads.

It’s been played out too long.”

3. Better be careful…

“Manscaped.

Their ads about how if you use their competitors you’ll cut your d**k off.

Didn’t make me afraid of their competitors, they just made me associate Manscaped with severe genital trauma.

Good going, fellas.”

4. What’s he up to?

“Mr. Clean sniffing around that housewife.

I won’t let my wife buy their products for fear that creep is gonna sneak into my house and put the moves on her.”

5. No thank you.

“Quiznos ran a series of radio spots many years ago in which it would open with something along the lines of “when you’re hungry, trying to resist a Quiznos sub is like” and there would be an absurd no-competition comparison with apt sound effects.

One of the spots was (I may be misremembering but was along lines of), “trying to resist a Quiznos sub is like a puppy taking on an alligator.” You then heard a bunch of yipping sounds ending with a big chomp.

That one spot turned me off ever being a customer of that restaurant.”

6. For macho men.

“Dr. Squatch soap.

It’s just obnoxious, macho-man, “natural is better”, “oh no, chemicals!” bulls**t. I don’t even care if the soap’s good, their advertisements have ruined the brand for me. Come to think of it, any brand that targets insecure men through their advertising. There was a supplement company with a probiotic promising to make your balls bigger.

Looked into the research, it was a single, small study on rats, which is… barely evidence, and definitely not enough to launch a product.”

7. Tone deaf.

“The completely tone deaf Cascade Platinum commercial where they try to claim that running your dishwasher every night will somehow save you water because it uses less water than a sink.

How the f**k does that make sense? You think I’m looking at my half empty dishwasher every night and saying “oh s**t. Better take all of these dishes out and wash them by hand or else the dish fairy is going to k**l me in my sleep”?

Of f**king course not. I’m going to wait until it’s full because I’m a grown adult with enough kitchenware to last me a full load in the dishwasher. It’s just a blatant “f**k the environment. Just use our product more so we can sell more s**t.””

8. Brain poison?

“I already don’t smoke ci**rettes, but those anti-s**king ads that refer to nicotine as a “brain poison” just sounds stupid to me.

It’s a drug, just call it what it is.”

9. Enough with the slurping.

“Beverage radio commercials that use lots of slurping or soda can popping sound effects.

Gave me another reason to avoid Dr Pepper and light beer.”

10. Not working.

“Morningstar Farms selling vegetarian burger patties. “If I’m a kid and I like it…” has the opposite effect they intended.

You know what kids like? Ketchup sandwiches. Spoonfuls of sugar stolen from the bowl. Taking a bite out of a stick of butter. Plain cheese pizza. Burgers with no toppings.

When I was a kid I once dumped a packet of Gushers into a bowl of cereal and happily ate it. Morningstar Farms, the fact that some little girl likes to eat your fake meat means nothing to me.”

11. Not appetizing.

“A few years ago Dominos had a commercial campaign where they said things like “People told us our sauce tasted like ketchup and our crust was like cardboard. We listened and we changed the recipe!”

Those ads sure didn’t give me an appetite for pizza.”

12. Weird.

“Dr. Pepper Ten.

Its ad campaign was literally “Not for Women”.

Normally I’m a huge Dr. Pepper fan, but I found that entire campaign so f**king stupid and aggravating that I swore I would never drink it.”

13. Cringeworthy.

“That Grubhub commercial with those disgusting looking 3D characters dancing in a really cringe manner.

It makes me embarrassed on behalf of those people who don’t even actually exist.”

14. Calm down…

“F**k Flo from Progressive, and all her sh**ty friends.

They’re bad and annoying, but I’m not sure that Progressive has realized that their “spokesperson” is a f**king terrible, obsessive, aggressive psycho.

She’s so nosy, and the commercial where she c**kblocks two young people in the laundromat made me wish they threw her into an industrial washer.

“Oh tell me more about bundling insurance, Flo! We’d never flirt with each other when there’s insurance to be discussed, but you’ve only got another 30 seconds before the rinse and spin, and I just don’t think you’ll be able to talk during that! Or after.””

15. Over the top.

“Jimmy Dean frozen breakfast sandwich commercials only had the discordant rooster-sounding riff at the end.

Now it’s every couple of seconds throughout the entire commercial.

It’s like a knife in my ears. “

Are there any ads that really make you not want to buy certain products?

If so, talk to us in the comments.

Thanks a lot!

People Talk the Small Movie Roles That Left a Lasting Impression

When we decide on what movie or TV show to watch next, who’s starring in it will often sway us one way or another. We’re looking for the big names, the faces we recognize, and the talent we depend on to keep us entertained.

That said, it’s often the smaller characters who bring those shows or movies to life, and on rarer occasions, they’re also the ones that keep us coming back – or the ones that stick in our minds going forward.

Here are 15 roles that were meant to be small, but that viewers just couldn’t shake afterward.

15. She doesn’t even need a name to be memorable.

Now that’s really something.

14. Every single character in Mean Girls is perfection.

There is no way to complain about this movie. Full stop.

13. Who could have guessed how iconic this role would become?

Not even Drew Barrymore, I bet.

12. She really nailed this.

And elevated it, honestly.

11. I think we sometimes forget how little screen time he had.

He definitely used it to his full advantage.

10. He’s the best part of many of them.

Which I don’t think is saying a lot, but there you go.

9. The maid in the original version was great, too.

It’s just a fun part, I think.

8. Stockard Channing never lets us down.

She’s literally always the best.

7. A great role in a great series.

We’ll never forget it.

6. There are so many great roles in The Office.

This is one of the most underrated, I think.

5. I just love her.

She’s great in everything she does.

4. In a film full of great performances, she shines.

As usual, of course. Just an emotional punch.

3. Some of the most quotable lines in the film, right?

She just made the most of her time, for sure.

2. We’re all just chanting along, right?

I know I am, because yay!

1. She nailed those ten minutes.

The most memorable part of the movie, I think.

I agree with all of these – characters I’ll never forget, to be sure.

What part would you add to this list? Tell us in the comments!

Small Movie Roles That All Had a Big Impact

They say there are no small parts, only small actors, and if you’ve ever seen a performance that didn’t take up much screen time but still made an impact, you know that’s true.

There are tons of examples out there – my favorite one, I think, is the Riley character from National Treasure (his comedic timing is just perfect!) – and these 17 people have some pretty great favorites, too!

17. Anyone who loves animals is a shoo in.

Just think about it.

16. She really is unforgettable.

Especially in the second one.

15. That is impressive.

And she definitely makes an impact.

14. He can break your heart.

And it only takes like three scenes.

13. The Doug Judy episodes were the best.

Don’t @ me, you can’t win this argument.

12. Proof that someone can be the best and the worst.

And you still love them at the same time.

11. Poor Barb.

The fact that we feel for her after so few minutes with her speaks volumes.

10. He’s endlessly quotable.

And also quite a good parent.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

9. Honestly, every character in Pitch Perfect.

They were all written like they were as important as the main character.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

8. These movies would absolutely not be the same without her.

Kind of the definition of amazing, right?

Image Credit: Bored Panda

7. Amy Poehler is always unforgettable.

I don’t care if she has no lines at all.

6. She is a queen.

I love how many animated characters are on this list.

5. When you’re interesting, you’re interesting.

No way around that fact.

4. You’ve probably never realized how much time you spend thinking about him.

But now you do, and you’ll never be able to not.

3. Best parents in a teen film, ever.

This entire cast is amazing, tbh.

2. He really nailed those 3-4 jokes.

That’s how you launch a career, folks.

1. How could we forget this one?

We can’t. No way, no how.

What’s your favorite small part?

Tell us what it is and why down in the comments!

What Advertisement Made You Avoid a Certain Product? People Spoke Up.

I have a confession: the Discover “Cashback Match” commercials have made it absolutely certain that I will never, ever use Discover in my life because I find their commercials to be so incredibly annoying.

Do you have any products that you’ve been turned off of completely because you can’t stomach their advertisements?

AskReddit users discussed the advertisements that made them NOT want to buy certain products.

Let’s dive in!

1. Old and new.

“All time: Chevy “real people”

Recently: that Kraft singles commercial with that stupid grilled cheese song.”

2. Gross.

“There is a phone company here in Australia that runs an ad where two sisters/friends are shown partying and generally having a good time, then one gets diagnosed with an illness, presumably cancer.

The camera cuts back and forth to one of them in a hospital bed and the other getting her long hair cut off, then an emotional reunion where the one with her hair cut off visits the one in hospital who has lost her hair.

The tagline is “it starts with yes”. It uses the emotional trauma of terminal illness to try to get people to sign up for a phone service. Utterly disgusting.”

3. Hmmm…

“A local car dealer decided to put their catchphrase to the tune of Baby Shark.

Then they made a follow-up commercial apologizing for how annoying the Baby Shark spot was, but still ended it with the Baby Shark jingle.”

4. Fear mongering.

“Those multiple Volvo commercials that have been on Hulu forever.

Same premise- “if you don’t buy our brand new Volvo you’ll k**l a kid, yours or someone else’s”.

Fear mongering at its finest.”

5. Little brat!

“The one with the bratty kid and broccoli.

“Then I guess we’re gonna sit here all night!”

If I pulled a stunt like that as a kid my mom wouldn’t go put cheese on my broccoli, she’d cook broccoli for every meal.”

6. No escape.

“Surprised I haven’t seen Grammarly mentioned anywhere here.

I’ve never felt a need to use their product in the past, but their ads are so intrusive, annoying, and frequent that I’ll guaranteed never use it.”

7. WTF?

“That Marine recruiting commercial where he fought a dragon.

I never got to fight a dragon when I was in, that was bulls**t.”

8. Hahaha.

“Volvo.

That f**king commercial where someone tells the car’s google assistant to “turn up the heat” at their house.

My google reacts by upping the heat every. Single. Time.”

9. Annoying.

“Reese’s (Cups, Pieces, etc.)

I h**e the voice of whoever narrates the commercials

The low-effort lines…ughhhh

The speaker delivers the lazy writing as if the audience is meant to find it clever

The next time you see a Reese’s commercial on TV, you’ll notice what I’m talking about..”

10. Shameless.

“Mesothelioma.

Massive expenditure targeting a tiny population.

The return on investment must be HUGE.

Shameless rainmaking.”

11. All of these.

“The Google Fi ads on youtube. Terrible songs and terrible animation.

Also, Old Navy ads are garbage.

And McDonalds has somehow been incapable of making a good ad for like 20 years or longer.”

12. Not a fan.

“Well, whenever I hear the KARS for Kids jingle, I think about swerving into oncoming traffic.

So I guess you could say it turns me off.”

13. Are we being scammed here?

“All the brand name medication commercials with fake people living fake lives with wild side effects worse than the original diagnosis.

And how dumb the names sound made on some name generator.

Trulicity comes to mind.”

Are there any ads that really turned you off of certain products?

Talk to us in the comments and let us know.

We look forward to it!

Actors Whose Live-Action Characters Look Just Like The Cartoons

More and more live action versions of cartoons are being made, and I have to think casting departments are working overtime to find the perfect actor to bring those beloved favorite characters to life.

These 10 actors really nailed it, though, and I have to think it’s more about the looks – they just embody, 100% those animated characters we’ve all grown to love.

10. Sadie Stanley as Kim Possible.

Maybe it’s the hair color, or maybe she’s just as perfect as she seems.

9. Orton O’Brien as Christopher Robin

Pooh isn’t Pooh without his best pal, and O’Brien embodied him perfectly.

8. Isabela Moner as Dora the Explorer

Just as adorable as you figured she would be in real life.

7. David Lewis as Mr. Crocker

Fairly Oddparents delighted a generation, and Lewis played Crocker to a ‘t.’

6. Liu Yifei as Mulan

The movie might have been a bust, but she definitely wasn’t.

5. Neal Sethi as Mogli

The hair and makeup people were surely involved, but the resemblance is uncanny.

4. Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl

They could not have found another person who resembles her more.

3. Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma Flintstone

All of the casting in this movie was A+.

2. Alexander Skarsguard as Tarzan

I would watch this all day, every day. Just saying.

1. Angelina Jolie as Maleficent

No one else could have done it as well.

I don’t think they could have found better actors if they tried, to be honest.

Which one of these was the most perfect for you? Or can you think of a better one? Share with us in the comments!

What Was Going to Be “The Next Big Thing”, but Flopped? Here’s What People Said.

I remember in Kansas in the 1990s, the town of Lawrence was referred to as “the next Seattle.”

This was the height of the grunge craze and Lawrence did (and always has) had a good music scene…but of course, that kind of recognition never came to Lawrence. So, no, it didn’t become “the next big thing.”

But that kind of stuff happens all the time.

What was supposed to be the next big thing, but it flopped?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts.

1. What’s the point?

“Amazon’s shopping buttons.

They pushed really hard for those and I never saw the point.”

2. Smaller = better?

For 20 years cell phones got smaller and smaller. Often being the main selling point of the phone.

Then all of sudden you could watch videos on your phone, and almost overnight the trend reversed to “larger is better”.”

3. Whoa.

“Soap Shoes.

These were like normal shoes, but you could grind on rails with them via an indent in the sole.”

4. Not working out?

“Not sure if this one has totally flopped yet, but I noticed while in Costco the other day that there are no longer any curved TVs.

If Costco is no longer carrying them then I think we can assume they’re going the way of the dodo.”

5. Do you remember?

“Google+ was supposed to be the answer to Facebook.

That was a lesson on how not to handle hype. There was so much hype around Google plus, it was infectious. But they refused to open it up to everyone and maintained a very hardline ‘invite only’ system.

Even once hype had peaked and there was a notable decline, still they maintained a small invite only system. I remember by the time they decided to open it up to everyone the hype was well and truly dead and no one bothered with it.

They should have cashed in when hype was high but they (I assume) got greedy, thinking the hype would just infinitely increase and people wouldn’t get bored waiting to get in.”

6. Moving on…

“3D TV.

Heard a stat from one of the 3D TV manufacturers that the average number of pairs of 3D glasses sold per 3D television was a number very much smaller than 1.

I think they were too embarrassed to actually tell everyone how tiny the attach rate was.”

7. Weird.

“SecondLife.

In the beginning, companies even bought real estate in there to allow people to visit them.

8. Didn’t work.

“Crystal Pepsi, New Coke, orange juice and toothpaste flavored Lays potato chips.”

9. Flop.

“The “Dark Universe” cinematic universe.

Starting with 2017’s THE MUMMY.”

10. History lesson.

“Quadraphonic entertainment systems in the early 1970s, were supposed to replace stereophonic systems.

Now they are chiefly remembered for inspiring the name of The Who’s second rock opera.”

11. The QB.

“Johnny Manziel.

I remember when he signed with CFL and everyone thought he was gonna absolutely dominate.

Meh…”

12. Ride the wave!

“Google Wave.

It was supposed to replace email with a more collaborative approach.

Essentially it was like a dynamically-created discussion board you’d share with select people and you could have a more readable discussion than one with a bunch of forwards and CCs and the like.

I thought it was a good idea, but it flopped big time and Google got rid of it after a few years.”

13. An obscure one.

“This one might be a bit obscure just because I’ve only ever met one other person familiar with it, but Google’s Project Ara modular smartphone was looking like it could’ve been the end all be all of smartphones.

Based off the Phonebloks idea of having a Lego-like hot-swappable module phone, the idea was that you could switch out any components of the phone on the fly. Camera, fingerprint scanner, even different quality screens.

Conceptually, it really looked like it could take over the phone market, as it would lead to people not having to buy whole new phones anymore, but rather replacement or upgraded parts to a phone they already liked, thereby reducing costs and increasing utility.

You don’t want a phone with 5 cameras that inflate the cost unnecessarily? Just buy a one camera module. You want a 1440P Super Amoled screen to replace your 720P regular screen? Buy one and swap it in.

However, like many Google projects, it d**d off for myriad reasons and the longstanding era of $1000 dollar smartphone slabs lived on.”

What are some more things that were supposed to be a big deal but flopped?

We’d love to hear from you!
