What music, TV shows, movies, and other forms of entertainment are your "guilty pleasures"? What do you like that others find corny, silly or just plain weird?

- Reading/Posting on internet forums (fora?).
- One-Day-In-No-Saves Video Game challenges.
- Instrumental music (not a euphemism for "classical").
- Reading serious editorials, novels, broadsheet newspapers etc.

Apart from the occasional sporting event and the news I rarely watch TV. I can count the number of movies I own on one hand...

But it's been a long time since I watched it, or any television for that matter.

-Vampire Movies

The rest I willingly admit to.

Old Rock & Roll love songs (like Poetry In Motion and All I have to do is Dream), Edward Davis Wood, Jr. films and, indeed, any kitsch cult movie – although I’m not sure I consider these ‘guilty pleasures’ they are certainly things many find ‘corny, silly or just plain weird’.

It is a learning experience. Particularly, learning what is not wise. Other than that, it is just goddamn hilarious how stupid they are. After seeing that you can easily categorize most everything I post as BS, as I have repeatedly pointed out. Did you really laugh that much?

No, I understand, and I didn't laugh that much. But knowing you...somehow that just looked so funny in writing.

You learned one thing. You don't know me. I could be friends with someone for years and I still surprise them.

In a sense, only you know you. But at least I know of you, and have a pretty good sense of what your regular online personality is like. Therefore, in relative terms, I know you.

I suppose. Have you noticed how much my INTJf and MBTIc personalities differ? It is a lot more fun to be annoying there than it is here.

Even though the vast majority of it makes me want to strangle the authors with their own brain stems. (If that's physically possible.)

I have noticed, and that's why I find it so amusing that this is the forum where you call yourself "Sriv the annoying," when you are more annoying on the forum where you call yourself "the wise."

It is a play on sociology. When a person says he/she is wise, the other person immidietaly holds them to reach a high standard AND doubts their statement. When a person says he/she is annoying, the standard is a low one that is easy to surpass AND easy to accept.

The reputation I wish to achieve is more important here so I set a low standard for myself, whereas the reputation I wish to achieve there is meaningless.

It makes perfect sense. Too much sense.

In that case, maybe you should use a different avatar and name on MBTI Central, since as it is the two identities (and therefore reputations) are clearly one and the same.

I want to be obvious. It merely insults MBTIc all the more.

Learning certain subjects~ for example, I was teaching myself Javascript and UNIX command line. It's one thing if you're doing it in school, but strange(or amazing) to some people when you're self-motivated to do it.

Fawlty Towers is a guilty pleasure? I consider it a work of comic genius.

I recently discovered "Friends" (the old sitcom) and rather like it, esp. for the dialogue. Is that weird enough :thinking:? No idea

"American Idol" is the closest thing I have to a guilty pleasure, but I don't really like it. Somehow I derive pleasure from watching it, though, so I guess it counts. Other than that, I think I have exceptional taste. :)

I'm not guilty of anything I like, but a lot of people find it strange and enigmatic for me to like prog metal, Death Note, Monty Python-esque humor.

I can't help it-I watch daxflame videos when I'm bored. His tantrums ("DAG-NABBIT...NNNNGGGHHHYAAAGGGHHH *throws chair*), meltdowns, grunts, bouncing in his chair, and other acts of irrationality ("I DON'T EAT CHEESE").



I am going straight to hell for this.

I dunno, I've started enjoying Disney films that I got from Netflix. The latest of which I got was Underdog. It's amazing how good a movie could be if you have the lowest of expectations. I kinda liked Underdog, even though cute dogs become annoying when they are given voice overs.

I Love the 70s/80s, Jpop, and when I had CSTV I got a kick out of watching women's lacrosse.

MXC is great too. Some of the stuff they say is quite clever even if it's a bit scatological.

Would you really categorize that as 'guilty' though?
