What do you not understand the popularity of?
The 25 top voted comments:
25. Reaction (™) videos. You can basically film yourself while watching a video and it'd be the same thing.
24. Shopkins My kids are way too into these things. I just don't get the appeal of these tiny, freaky, grocery shaped figures... Toys R Us has a whole bloody aisle of them...
23. Why is Avatar, out of all of the movies ever made, the highest grossing movie of all time? I would understand if Titanic, Star Wars, or The Avengers was #1, but Avatar? I mean, it was a good movie, but what made that many people see it?
22. Loud goddamn mufflers. That is the exact opposite of what I want for my car. I have misophonia I think and.. that shit drives me NUTS. And of course I live in a place where that's popular and they drive by my house all the time.
21. The Chive. Its fucking stupid.
20. Burning Man looks absolutely filthy
19. Pretty much anything honestly. Nowadays it seems like you can't just be a fan of something. It has to be a big circle jerk. Craft beer, music, etc.
18. Donald J. Trump
17. "Hoverboards". They don't even hover. As a childhood fanatic of all things Back to the Future, I was very let down.
16. Maybe it's just where I live, but rocks and crystals (quartz, amethyst) to be considered as medicine/make you feel good. They're fucking rocks and people pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for them. I can understand the cosmetic appeal, but people always try to convince me they give them special powers or some shit. Edit: to be clear, I do think crystals are cool. I just don't think they should be sold as medicine.
15. Newer country music, 75% of it is generic as hell
14. Buzzfeed.
13. Dr Who. I just don't get it. I think I'm a little intimidated by how vehement the fan base is (gilded)
12. Beauty contests for inbred dogs.
11. "Damn Daniel!"
10. Prank' and 'Social Experiment' videos... How do people fall for this stuff? The mind boggles
9. Prolapse porn
8. Laugh tracks in Sitcoms. They annoy the fuck out of me
7. Those inspirational quote pictures with the tacky backdrops of sunsets at the beach n shit.
6. 2 Broke Girls. What the hell?
5. Pewdiepie. I just cannot understand why millions of people find him entertaining.
4. the Kardashians (gilded)
3. The, "Live, Love, Laugh," sign everyone seems to have in their home somewhere.
2. reality television.
1. Celebrity gossip I can understand respecting a musician or actor, but why does anybody care about the details of their personal life?
